An amusing Red Dead Redemption 2 clip depicts Arthur "playing" with a lion

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player made the decision for Arthur to attempt "playing" with a lion indoors. Their audacious idea resulted in some incredibly amusing outcomes, thus adding to the endlessly long list of unforgettable Red Dead Redemption 2 videos available online.

October 26th marks the fifth anniversary of the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, which received enthusiastic responses from critics and near-universal praise from fans. While Red Dead Online never grew into the giant that GTA Online is, the game's single-player mode became an instant classic, regularly visited by many players even to this day.

Among this target audience is Reddit user Swimming-Confusion58, who recently decided to shake things up a bit by bringing a lion into the house for some playtime. What ensued was a rather stressful episode of a cat-and-mouse game, with the wild feline showing little interest in hiding. This lasted for over a minute as Arthur cautiously maneuvered through all the rooms on the ground floor of the cabin, while the lion followed him, consistently appearing less than amused. The footage of this daring adventure concludes as the massive cat eventually catches up to Arthur, leaving viewers uncertain about the outcome of this risky stunt in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Although Red Dead Redemption 2 is not lacking in dangerous legendary animals, the lone lion in the game stands as one of the deadliest creatures. The wild feline has the ability to instantly kill Arthur, a skill that Rockstar has bestowed upon only one other animal in the game, the legendary Giaguaro Panther. Hence, fans would be wise to avoid being trapped in a house with the lion unless they are equally "bored," as Swimming-Confusion58 claims to be when they decided to invite the king of beasts for a play session.

Admittedly, a house visit from the lion in Red Dead Redemption 2 is something that is highly unlikely to occur. The creature can only be encountered once per playthrough - at Emerald Ranch in the Heartlands - and it is nearly impossible to actually lure it into nearby cabins.

To bypass this limitation, this daring player opted to make the lion appear in its designated hiding area using a "menu mod." There are several Red Dead Redemption 2 mods that fulfill this vague description, with the Ozark Mod Menu being among the most popular. PC players who are not interested in the advanced features of Ozark and simply want to have fun with the game's deadliest predators should instead choose a spawning mod.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is now available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
