Mission Objectives[]

To complete this mission, the player must:

Mission Details[]

When the cutscene ends, Reyes will make a bee-line for the player. He is considered a bruiser, so be on the lookout for him to run the player down. A well-placed head shot will end him and begin a second cutscene where the young woman explains that Reyes has removed a Mask from the catacombs beneath the city.

She claims that replacing the Mask will end the undead plague and John, not having a better plan, obliges her. The opening to the catacombs can be found in the spectator seats alongside the bullfighting ring behind the mansion. Marston fights his way through the underground cavern, dispatching the undead as he goes. He begins to notice that the undead seem to pay the girl no mind. Upon placing the mask back upon the altar, the girl reveals that she is Ayauhtéotl. Once the mask is in place, the girl vanishes and Marston hears her voice tell him to go be with his family.

Mission Failure[]

The mission will fail if the player:

  • Leaves the mansion.
  • Attacks or assaults the young woman.
  • Dies.

Trivia[]

  • The song which plays while riding to Escalera is "Bad Voodoo" by The Kreeps. They recorded the song as a non-album track, only featuring in Undead Nightmare. The song is available on their Facebook page and the Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Original Soundtrack album.
  • The safehouse for Escalera is disabled for this mission, and if the player has not rescued Escalera yet, then they are unable to do so until the mission is complete.
    • Likewise, the Undead have a large presence in Escalera, even if the town was "Safe" since they were last there. This happens once the player completes Mother Superior Blues, and rides to Escalera to start this mission. As a result, this is a good place to complete certain challenges, specifically Undead Hunter Rank 3 and Undead Sharpshooter Ranks 3, 4, and possibly 5.
  • The Semi-Auto Shotgun can be found in the caves, before trekking deeper in. It is picked up automatically by John, who mentions Reyes bringing 'protection'.
  • In this mission, a new breed of Undead is discovered. These undead, known as Mummies, are almost skeletal from centuries of decay, move at an incredibly fast speed and have glowing red eyes. This is the only time in the game when this type of undead can be encountered.
    • This mission is also the only time in Undead Nightmare where the player can encounter undead Mexican Army soldiers, as they are some of the undead the player will find in the catacombs.
  • Reyes is the most slim Bruiser in the game.
  • All the Undead encountered in the catatombs have glowing red eyes.
  • When starting this mission the player will see a woman crying who John asks where Reyes is. After the next cutscene where the player has to enter the catatombes, the aforementioned woman will be undead and will attack the player.
  • It is impossible to loot Undead Reyes' body as after the player kills him and the following cutscene is over, he will be inside the villa and the doors will be locked. However the doors are unlocked after the mission.
  • It is recommended that the player saves into a new save slot before this mission, as you can only play as Zombie Marston once the mission is completed, and can only wear the Legend of the Undead and the Army of the Undead outfits.
