Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]

Horseshoe Overlook Chapter[]

Alongside his mother, Archie witnesses his father being beaten by Arthur Morgan, in an attempt to get Thomas to pay back his loan to Leopold Strauss. Soon after his father's death, his family becomes financially unstable and he and his mother are forced to leave their home at the Downes Ranch.

Clemens Point Chapter[]

Archie is present helping his mother pack when Arthur returns to collect the rest of the debt. While Edith goes about retrieving the money inside the house, Arthur remarks on Archie's glare toward him. After receiving an ominous threat from the outlaw and watching him depart, he continues helping his mother pack.

Beaver Hollow Chapter[]

Archie and Edith later move to Annesburg, a thriving mining town in Roanoke Ridge. Archie gets a job as a miner to help support them and to satisfy his mother in an attempt to stop her from working as a prostitute.

If Arthur has High Honor: After Arthur has learned of his co-workers and foreman's mistreatment of him over his mother's job, he steps in and beats the miners, saving Archie but also causing him to lose his job. Archie is surprised that Arthur wishes to help him, while Arthur gives him some money and tells Archie to convince his mother to leave.
During their next encounter, Archie informs Arthur that they have not left Annesburg as his mother refuses to take money from Arthur. He also tells Arthur that she has continued to work as a prostitute and that he was suspicious of the last client he saw her with. Fortunately, Arthur eventually manages to persuade Edith to quit her job and to leave, taking Arthur's money. Afterward, Archie follows his mother into their house, where they prepare to move away.

If "Do Not Seek Absolution I & II" were completed: Archie and his mother are seen boarding a boat in Saint Denis docks, looking considerably wealthier. Additionally, Edith and Archie Downes opened a brand new golf course and own several successful businesses out west in 1907.[1]
