Shady Belle is a location in Red Dead Redemption 2. It serves as the camp's location during Chapter Four of the game.

Description

It is a large, colonial house surrounded by swamps and alligator infested waters to the east. The house itself is rather large, with four large pillars at the front, two chimneys at either side of the mansion and a fountain outside. The property is abandoned and therefore, dilapidated; large vines crawl up the walls of the house, the water fountain is empty and the rooms are dirty and destroyed.

Around the back side of the property is a small dock and cottage, where Leopold Strauss usually loiters.

Location

It is located in Bayou Nwa, Lemoyne. It is situated west of Braithwaite Manor, southwest of the city Saint Denis, on the north coast of the Lannahechee River. Just east of the property are sections of marshes, with alligators inhabiting the area.

Interactions

In the mission "Preaching Forgiveness as He Went", Arthur and Lenny raid the house, where they obtain large amounts of dynamite and weapons.

The property is next encountered in the mission "The Battle of Shady Belle", where Arthur and John kill the remaining of the Lemoyne Raiders who inhabit the house. The two remove the bodies from the mansion, dumping them in the swamp waters surrounding the house.

Soon thereafter, the rest of the Van der Linde gang arrive at the house and begin unpacking and setting up their tents.

Shady Belle becomes the site of a large firefight between Dutch’s Gang and the O’driscoll Gang after the latter captures Kieran Duffy.

Soon after the Saint Denis fiasco, the gang packs up and moves north, fearing Pinkerton reprisal. Clues are then left around the camp in case Arthur or Dutch make it back home.

After Dutch’s Gang departs from Shady Belle, the Lemoyne Raiders move back in and the location becomes a Gang Hideout that occasionally can be cleared for loot.
