How to unlock the Dastardly achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide

This achievement is called Dastardly
It requires you to place a hogtied woman on the train tracks, and witness her death by train

You will not be able to get this achievement until you obtain the lasso from Bonnie, I believe it's her fifth mission. Once you have it find a woman to lasso then hogtie her when she is down, I would recommend choosing a woman in the middle of nowhere so the town folk don't try to kill you. After that put her on your horse and see where the train is and the direction it's heading. Get on your horse and race to get far enough ahead of the train so that you have time to lay her down across the tracks, then watch her die for an easy 5G!

Oh come on! like most of you weren't going to do this in the game anyway. *twists villian moustache*

Muah ha ha ha

The hard part is waiting out the train. I waited like 10 mins last night for a train to come by but to no avail. Got fed up, watched house and went to bed lol

I didn't randomly figure it out, the achievements for this game has been listed on x360a.org for about a month, though I probably would have done it anyway like MAJOR SMALLMAN said.

I also agree that waiting for the train is the hardest part. Not sure how the train can turn around at the station and go the opposite way but it sometimes does.

Taking the main trail from Bonnie's place to Thieves' Landing I had a woman run up asking for a ride and she stole my horse. I whistled and my horse bucked her, and I lassoed her and took her to the rails for the achievement. Not sure if this is totally random of if it's common in that area.

had to do two attempts, first time I was sitting on my horse watching, and it didn't pop. Second time I stood by the tracks and it did.

I did it without that lasso ability. When you save the random lady from being kidnapped (hanging around just about any town for more then 5 minutes will get this to pop), just leave her tied up, race to a train by horseback and drop her down. Got this one without even knowing...

...wait a minute dan, you randomly dropped off an already tied up woman on the train tracks after "rescuing" her and watched her die?

This achievement, and this solution, have made me want this game. Kudos Blindassassin.

I did the same as batdan. I heard a woman screaming and followed the blip to a villian carrying a hogtied woman. I just shot him, picked her up, and raced to the train.

Do you loose honor or can you use the bandanna so it doesn't move?

I found one of the easiest victims for this achievement was Jenny. This is the girl chatting up the priest at the start of the game, which you later encounter again for a stranger's mission. After the mission is completed, you and her will be all alone in the wild. You can capture her and take her to the train. Easy enough.

Picking the kidnapper's victim has the advantage of not losing honor/alerting lawmen/etc ;)
And beware of Mission Triggers! I screwed my first try by acidentally riding over one.

Those concerned about such outdated concepts as "honor" could, of course, just reload from their previous save after the achievement has been unlocked. But it's not as if there's plenty of opportunity to regain your lost honor.

I would like to add, BlindAssassin24, that in order to not wait so long for the train, check your map in the start menu. If you notice, the red train icon changes place every time. That is because the red train icon IS the train, so when you get the hogtied woman, look for that icon and follow it, because there's only one train in the game constantly moving around the map. Otherwise, nice guide.

OK, so i dropped 2 hog-tied women on to the tracks and had them killed by the blue train - no achievement.

I dropped 1 under the red train and it popped. Anyone else encounter this?

It took me 3 tries to get the cheevo pop. Basically you probably mustn't be on your horse nor place the hogtied woman on the tracks more than 1mn before the train arrives.

Being on horseback made no difference for me, but I did directly watch her die. It's been a long time since these comments so maybe it's been fixed since?

I just tried it twice and both times the woman actually stopped the train!

The train just stops and judders until you remove her from the track, at which point it teleports you to the inside of the train.

Glitchy, glitchy.

@Phoenix C64 - I'm Irish and I thought the character 'Irish' was hilarious :). Most Irish people find Irish stereotypes hilarious. With these things it's nearly always a loud minority-within-the-minority who gets a stick up their ass about it.

So this one didn’t pop for me either in 4 tries. Then I changed my outfit to the standard outfit (I was wearing the gentleman’s suite before) and first try - achievement unlocked. Can’t say for sure it’s the outfit but worth a try ;)

You cannot be on horseback and must stare directly at the woman getting run over.

I was on horseback and watched the engine go past on the first attempt and got nothing, then ran ahead of it and tossed a girl from the MacFarlane Ranch on the tracks ahead of the station there, stared directly at her on foot, and got the achievement.

every1 better get this achievement quick, before rockstar removes it. irish people already whining about the irish NPC in game... so some1 will notice and start whining about this sooner or later.

anyways, back to topic: a good moment to do this is when you're doing "Friends in High Places" chievo. the one with the 5000$ bounty on your head. as you won't care any1 seeing you hogtie a woman anyways.

For those who struggle with this achievement.
I might have been unlucky but I had tried for this achievement several times and it did not pop. Once when I laid the woman on the track I realized that Marston actually looked aside. A way to control where you look is aiming with your pistol, so next time I tried it that way. I laid a whore on the tracks, aimed at her with my pistol, watched her blowing into pieces when the train ran her over - may her rest in piece - and got the achievement.

I was able to wear the bandana in the cowboy clothes and got it to pop with your solution. Didn’t read anywhere about the bandana negating it but did see some mentions certain clothes negated it.

I happened to have gotten this achievement very fast and by coincidence while i tried to do it as GrandmasterALK suggested. I was on my way to Nosalida when all of a sudden a woman with a bunch of dudes cried for help. Remember the situation, woman screams, blue dot pops up in mini map and when you get closer the guys start shooting at you, does that ring a bell? So i went dead eye, shot all the guys and then i realized on the mini map that the blue dot changed into a red one. I changed to lasso, hogtied the woman who started that mess, took her to the train track, train was passing (coincidently) and cheevo popped. This took around 1:30 minutes real time.

Just to add my twocents on the location...I did it the way Onkel B mentioned just outside Chuparosa. Exit Chuparosa on the westside (left) and go take a left. You're now on the road south of Chuparosa. On the map where the "H" stands I found the woman with the dudes.

Not really another method but thought I would add that an easy place to achieve this is when you bring medicine for a female stranger standing in the middle of nowhere. I think her name is Jenny. But be careful because when you pull out your lasso she runs away. But after you have caught her this achievement is pretty simple as all you do then is hogtie her before you put her on a horse and take her to train track and wait there until the train runs her over then -click- achievement unlocked. Definately one of the most fun achievements I have ever done.

Credit for the video goes to Achievement Hunters/RoosterTeeth. Find a women (preferably away from others so they dont shoot you) and take out your lasso and hogtie her. Now find out where the train is and dump her down on the tracks alittle in front of the train so you dont get run over in the process. After she dies the achievement should pop up.

Okay, so just started the game, was riding around, just south of gaptooth ridge. A little more south than cueva seca. Came across a guy at a camp, with a woman already hog tied. Killed him, picked up girl, walked down to the train line, placed her on the tracks, mounted my pony, walked forward a little, turned around and watched. Train came past with in a few minutes.... POP...

I choose to get a woman from Armadillo to hogtie. On the third or fourth attempt I made it out of the town without dying.

Get a woman, you can find them anywhere but if you're having a hard time finding one then go to the nearest town e.g. Armadillo. Equip your Lasso by bringing up the weapon wheel (hold ) and aim it by locking onto a woman in the street with , get close to the lady then release the Lasso with and hogtie her with . Place her on your horse and ride to McFarlane's Ranch, there will be a train station there. Wait for the train to arrive and stop, place the woman on the train tracks and move out of the way and enjoy the show. Just make sure the camera angle is looking at the woman or her death won't count.

If this trophy does not unlock then attempt it again by using the opposite train as there are two different colored trains i.e one blue and one red. If the trophy did not unlock by using the red train to run over the victim, try using the opposite train i.e blue.

For more information on this possible glitch, please refer to this link: Dastardly Trophy Glitch.

Before you can attempt this achievement you will need to lasso, which you earn from Bonnie in the early missions. Once you do have it you can lasso and hogtie any women you desire, though there are some, which are easier than others. If you don't want to damage your fame or honor you can buy a bandana from Thieves' Land at the tailors shop.

Once you have either item you can now lasso your victim. Lasso and hogtie the lady of choice and place her on your horse. You can now make your way to the train track, check your map to see where the active train is. You will be looking for red train icon following the tracks. Head towards the train and play your victim on the tracks by pressing . Now just stand back and watch as the train plows down your victim and the achievement unlocks.

I took a woman who, along with bandits by the road, asks for help, stopping near them, they attack, so I don’t feel sorry for her, I shot the bandits, and tied her up with a lasso and put her on the nearest railway tracks.
Using the map you can track where the trains are.
All that remains is to wait and watch.
