STORY [STRY]
��������������������������������������
From insert:
"John Marston was a former gang member who reappraised his life and resolved
to put his past behind him to settle down with young family. As Marston
changed, so did the landscape. The federal government set its sights on
bringing their law to the whole country by any means necessary. When ruthless
government agents kidnap John's wife and child, and threaten to kill them
unless he brings his former gang to justice, John is left with no choice...
To save his family, he must pick up his guns once more and hunt down the men
he used to run with."
CRIMES [CRMS]
��������������������������������������
Crimes occur when Marston commits acts of low standing in civilized areas.
[This is why he can kill people, etc., in the wilds without repercussion.]
Committing a crime earns a bounty, during which local law enforcement will
pursue him, either until he's captured, killed, or pays off the bounty at a
local telegraph office. Fitting in with Marston's redemption theme, crimes
also give honor penalties.
All crimes (besides vandalism) give honor penalties: -50 for minor slayings,
-100 for major crimes like cop-killing and safecracking. Bounties in New
Austin/West Elizabeth and Neuva Paraiso are separated since they're different
countries.
NOTE: To give oneself up to police, holster a weapon and stand still. This is
a good way to see the specifics of what one's being charged with...but
not all lawmen are intent on taking John in alive. Which is good, as
John loses money when incarcerated; dying just reloads the last save.
For a list of crimes committed, check 'Crimes' under the 'Stats' tab.

|______________________|_____|______________________________________________|
Obtaining high bounties means that lawmen posses will be bigger (they have
dogs!) and bounty hunters will be hired in-between posses to hunt Marston
down. Unlike with sheriffs and such, bounty hunters are hellbent on killing
their target, and there's no reasoning with them. [Additionally, they don't
add to the bounty or give honor decrements when slain.]
HONOR & FAME [HNOR]
��������������������������������������
Honor is a system by which others judge John Marston. Doing good deeds and
completing (some) missions earns honor, while unscrupulous and destructive
acts loses honor. Different honor ratings give different perks. John starts
at Drifter (neutrality) and can rise to become a lauded Hero or Desperado of
ill repute. Rank effects will stack as long as the player is going in one
direction up/down the scale -- it's still possible to lose the effects by
going the opposite way. For instance, if one's a Hero, continuously losing
honor starts removing perks at the set intervals.
Additionally, becoming a Hero (max honor) means a random event with a nun who
gives the "Obscuridad del Santo Andres" item can occur. Said item reduces the
likelihood Marston is hit by enemy bullets, and is retained even if all honor
is lost.
____________ ______________________________________________________________
| HONOR RANK | EFFECT |
|������������|��������������������������������������������������������������|
| Hero | Crimes only start being reported after a murder/bank heist |
| Peacemaker | 50% sell bonus and purchases 50% off; unlocks Duster Coat |
| Honest Joe | All jobs (nightwatch, horsebreaking, bounties) pay double |
| Drifter | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Rustler | Eyewitness bribe costs halved; Whistling gives special horse |
| Road Agent | [Thieves' Landing only] 50% sell bonus & purchases 50% off |
| Desperado | People only report murders/bank jobs (doesn't affect lawmen) |
|____________|______________________________________________________________|
Fame is earned in very much the same ways as honor, and unlike honor, cannot
be lost once earned (even a bad reputation is still a reputation!) -- by non-
-cheat methods that is.
____________ ______________________________________________________________
| FAME RANKS | EFFECT |
|������������|��������������������������������������������������������������|
| Legend | Halves own bounty |
| Gunslinger | Free saloon drinks, and no bounty given for stealing horses |
| Mercenary | Doubles time between law pursuits (24h -> 48h) |
| Buckaroo | Quarters (-25%) cost for lawmen bribes |
| Greenhorn | Random events become more frequent |
| Nobody | nothing |
|____________|______________________________________________________________|
DEAD EYE [DDYE]
��������������������������������������
Dead Eye is a method by which time slows, enabling Marston to make more
accurate shots. Its gauge is to the right of the minimap, depleting when the
function's used and gradually refilling when not. Some items, like Tobacco &
Moonshine, automatically refill the gauge.
DE is composed of three levels, each one giving a special effect or building
on a previous. Note that the later levels, which allow one to fire upon
multiple targets, can lead to trashed shots if cover comes in the way first.
That's why LV3 is probably the best as only player-chosen shots are taken.
LV1: Time slow down to fire on enemies
LV2: Automatically paints target(s) when reticle moved over them
LV3: Pressing RB, when reticle is over target, paints them
MULTIPLAYER [MLTY]
��������������������������������������
Multiplayer mode can be started from the title menu or main menu, and lets
one experience more competition than single-player may provide. Multiplayer
requires an XBL Gold Membership, however!
� A player's level (rank) goes from 1-50. Certain actions earn experience
(XP) to move forward in level, during which time some things may unlock:
challenges, characters, multiplayer modes, weapons, and steeds. These are
all "permanently" unlocked, although once Lv50 is hit, the player has a
chance to Pass Into Legend, starting over from Lv01 -- losing all earned
level-related things in the process -- with more steeds unlocked at lower
levels than normal.
� Hideouts are the main source of XP in multiplayer, and there are seven of
'em to do, just like in campaign: Pike's Basin, Fort Mercer, Twin Rocks,
Tumbleweed, Gaptooth Breach, Tesoro Azul, and Nosalida. Unlike in campaign,
where it may take a few days for the hideouts to be repopulated with all
manner of scum, leaving the hideouts' area (or voting to replay) lets one
do the events repeatedly. [As an aside, weapon spawns in hideouts let a
player tote around firearms that may not have been permanently unlocked yet,
such as the Mauser Pistol. These remain in one's possession until the
session is left; after which, they must be reclaimed!]
� Free roam is essentially the campaign mode's world with 1-16 players running
amok inside. Posses -- groups of like-minded players -- can join up and
take on hideouts, other gangs, or just cause trouble for non-posse members.
If Public Free Roam is too annoying, players can try doing Private Free Roam
(with only themselves or people they invited) or Hardcore Free Roam (allows
expert targeting only).
Now, there are a number of different competitive modes to choose from once
in multiplayer (press back button). More modes unlock as a player levels up.
� CAPTURE THE BAG: A mode that encompasses three different styles of play.
"Gold Rush" has the level populated by bags and gold, where each player's
goal is to horde them. "Grab the Bag" is a team-based mode where the goal
is to obtain the level's bag and capture it in the team chest, defeating
the enemies all the while. "Hold Your Own" is where each team has a bag
and must prevent it from being stolen away by the foes.
� COOPERATIVE: Teams of 2-4 players do a playlist of scenarios (6 total) that
have them square off against various gangs in different locales. Normal
co-op missions have normal targeting, while Advanced co-op missions have
expert targeting only. In either case, before a player can start the
scenario, they must pick a class, which gives them a specific set of weapons
to use for the upcoming battle. Here's a list:
Gunslinger: Double-action Revolver, Repeater Carbine, Fire Bottle
Gunslinger II: High Power Pistol, Repeater Carbine, Fire Bottle
Marksman: Throwing Knife, Rolling Block Rifle, Cattleman Revolver
Marksman II: Throwing Knife, Carcano Rifle, Cattleman Revolver
Miner: Dynamite, Pump-action Shotgun, Schofield Revolver
Miner II: Dynamite, Semi-auto Shotgun, Schofield Revolver
Soldier: Volcanic Pistol, Winchester Repeater
Soldier II: Volcanic Pistol, Evans Repeater
Soldiers are good medium-range characters but are kinda threadbare in the
other options. Miners are good at close-range but don't start with a rifle,
leaving them a bit useless at the starts of missions. Gunslingers have a
bit of balance going on, plus a throwable, making them a good choice for
newcomers. Finally, marksmen are the most accurate and, because of their
constant headshots, the most lucrative. They're bad at close range but
it's always good to have one with. [Sniper rifles aren't dropped by the
enemies, so starting with one is a sweet advantage; other weapons can be
picked up!]
"II" versions of classes are available only in Advanced missions. The same
goes for the "No Holds Barred" class, which has no set weapon restrictions
and instead uses the player's (permanently) unlocked ones from free roam.
To skip a mission, press left
Also, failing a cooperative match gives consolation XP.
� GANG SHOOTOUTS: A game of up to 8-vs-8 takes place in a hideout or town
location, where the goal is to defeat the other team and earn cash doing
so.
TIPS N' TRICKS [TPST]
��������������������������������������
� There's an "oversight" where throwing weapons, when used in conjunction with
Dead Eye, gain a homing quality. Basically, they're imbued with ridiculous
ranges well beyond their norm. This also applies to multiplayer, so if one
finds oneself being ganged up on, this may even the score a bit.
� There's a shooting trick that's helpful in campaign, but even more so when
in multiplayer. Everyone knows that pressing in right analog lets one look
over the protagonist's shoulder, seeing what's behind him. However, many
don't know that pressing L-trigger while doing so performs a 180-degree
turn. This is excellent for quickly turning to face attackers coming up
from behind. [This doesn't work as well on a horse but the concept of
returning fire still works.]
� Many weapons can be obtained for free by clearing out gang hideouts, and
it's a great way to accumulate extra firepower without spending any dimes
yourself. [Some weapons like the Volcanic Pistol are store-buyable, which
makes this method even better.]
� Be careful when tactical reloading in Advanced co-op missions! It's often a
reflexive action for FPS players, but can be dangerous when cover's lacking!

01) FOREWARD [WK00]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Just a few words from the author (me!) before starting the guide.
� Autosave is a big part of the game, and updates when missions finish or
certain feats (ambient challenges, stranger tasks, etc.) complete. Having
this turned on makes the game a lot easier, so make sure it is! That said,
having a hard save is great since the game loads the latest (most recent)
file -- basically, if the game autosaves something y'didn't want it to, it
helps to have a permanent backup!
� Standard-definition televisions (SDTVs) may cut off part of the picture
since this game was made for hi-def screens. There's no screen-moving
or -resizing option to be had, so this can lead to hints and explanations
in the upper-left corner being cut off. While annoying, that text ends up
recorded in the Journal option, so check that in future scenarios!
� The walkthrough categorizes by the person giving the tasks (missions) but
that isn't the fixed order, or even recommended one. There is a loose
order to things, however, and any unlock prerequisites will be mentioned
in the guide. [One can probably see why ordering the table of contents by
missions would be confusing.]

01) EXODUS IN AMERICA [WK01]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
The first "mission" in the game isn't given by anyone, and mostly just sets
the stage for things to come. Of course, it's also tutorial-like in design,
having easy objectives to accomplish after riding the train to Armadillo.
1) Visit the saloon.
2) Follow Jake to the horses in front of the saloon.
3) Follow Jake to Fort Mercer
4) Approach the fort's double doors
The game hand-holds pretty well so it's hard to mess anything up, save
getting hit by the train or disobeying the directives (like not following
Jake when prompted). Either way, when the story scenes end, the next mission
-- New Friends, Old Problems -- immediately begins.

NEW FRIENDS, OLD PROBLEMS
_________________________
�������������������������
Unlock: Clear "Exodus in America"
Weapon: Repeater Carbine
Reward: 50 Honor
Following the story preparations, John wakes up at MacFarlane's Ranch and is
introduced to Bonnie, the good samaritan from a few days prior. When the
banter's done, locate her house (she's the blue map icon) to initiate the
next part of the mission -- touring the ranch!
For a ranch, it's certainly got a handful of un-ranchly things, like its own
general store and a railroad stop. Two important things introduced right away
are (1) holding A-button while on horseback to automatically match allies'
speed; this prevents jerky stop-start movements (2) hitching a horse saves it
for later use, which is important in getting the "Spurred to Victory"
achievement which requires using the same horse for twenty missions!
After the tour, revisit Bonnie's house for more scenes, wherein the Repeater
Carbine -- John's first rifle-type weapon -- is obtained. Mount up again and
the nightly perimeter patrol begins, which is composed of a few events:
� RABBITS: The garden's being ravaged by lupinekind and it's up to Marston to
ventilate those bunnies' heads. Dead Eye isn't available at this point but
finding a long-ears is elementary with casual or even normal targeting (if
you're on expert, it's a lot harder). When 4-5 are shot, the rest scatter
into the night.
� COYOTES: In the livestock corral, a few coyotes spawn and they'll run toward
the chicken coop; about six more are around there. One rifle shot brings
'em down, so make sure to stay on the road for the best sightlines. When
most are shot, the others flee.
Following, visit John's first house -- that shack he woke up in -- and save
the game. Houses are where Marston can save the game, change outfits, and get
extra ammo (from chest). Saving the game advances the day six hours.
From now on, available missions will be marked with a letter on the minimap,
such as "B" for Bonnie right now. Approaching the location of these letters
commences the mission, during which saving isn't possible. So come prepared!
If y'need money, nightwatch jobs are now available, too.
NOTE: Finishing this mission lets John take on gang hideouts in New Austin,
namely Pike's Basin, Twin Rocks, Tumbleweed, and Gaptooth Breach. Each
gives a free weapon upon defeat so definitely take out all four of 'em
first before attempting to buy any weapons -- it saves a lot of cash,
not to mention improves Marston's arsenal early on.

OBSTACLES IN OUR PATH

Unlock: Clear "New Friends, Old Problems"
Weapon: ---
Reward: 20 Fame
After a discussion of Marston's alleged city-dweller roots, Bonnie challenges
the ex-outlaw to a horse race to prove himself. Get on the horse near the
Foreman's office and move to the starting point to commence the showdown. The
horse John has ain't very good, but it'll serve its purpose here. There's
a few ways the race can be made easier:
� Since this a cross-country ride, not some ride around the barn, it helps to
have some knowledge of the surrounding region's terrain and roads.
� Horses have a set amount of stamina, which is drained when spurred and
slowly regains when not spurred. Repeatedly spurring the horse not only
ensures the horse will buck John off, but in later missions, it may even
kill the horse. To ensure the best travel, spur every couple of hoofbeats
(I do three; they sound like triplets) and stay on dirt roads to maintain
speed. Cutting across through the prairie gives speed decrements and is a
bad idea overall. "Campfire" markers will display on the minimap to denote
the ideal roads to take for the challenge.
� Finally, no dirty tricks. Shooting Bonnie's horse out from under her won't
be allowed here! That's the fast track to instant failure.
With all those tips said, the mission finishes, win or lose, and there's no
change in outcome (although beating her gives a gold medal rank, I believe).
The Marshal in Armadillo, marked with an "M" on the minimap, now becomes
available as a mission client.

THIS IS ARMADILLO, USA

Unlock: Clear "Obstacles in Our Path"
Weapon: ---
Reward: 50 Honor
Following the fast-paced horse race, Marston agrees to escort Bonnie and
her wagon into town. Driving one of these is similar to driving a horse,
naturally, except it's slower and makes wider turns. The road to Armadillo is
clearly marked, and on this leisurely day, it should be disturbance-free as
well. [Although if you happen to bump a rider from his horse, he'll often
follow and let his revolver do the talkin'.] Avoid tipping the wagon by going
a medium pace on flat ground, avoiding any stunts y'may do on horseback, like
hopping shortcuts over cliffs.
Once in Armadillo, visit the doc's office and get some free Medicine. This
item will refill John's health and is usable by pressing the Back button and
checking under the "consumables" tab. Revisit Bonnie and she'll take off,
mentioning that after sight-seeing, take the stagecoach back to the ranch.
Of course, stagecoaches don't accept charity cases, so if y'still have no
cash, get home on foot or fast travel.
[To fast travel, go out into the prairie away from roads and houses, hit the
Back button, go to "Kit" and use the Basic Campsite. Pick the destination as
the ranch and reach there immediately. This is a good way to avoid tedious
backtracking!]
Noteworth things now become available for John to do:
- Purchase or rent property
- Accept Stranger tasks (they appear as a "?" on maps)
- Do Nightwatch jobs
Nightwatch jobs are an easy way to earn cash. John basically follows a dog
around and helps it break up trouble. More moolah is received for settling
disputes without lose of life, so in the absense of a lasso (where hogtying
is the easiest way to do that), disarm or cripple foes. Of course, killing a
target is preferable to them escaping! Loot corpses for extra cash, too.

Reward: $5, 100 Honor
Following a heart-spilling conversation, Bonnie asks for help leading the
cows out to pasture. Saddle up and follow to the cowpen, taking a position
behind the herd. The trick to shepharding cows around is slow back-and-forth
(zigzag) motions behind the herd, which keeps them mostly centered in one
big bunch. Occasionally it may be necessary to flank the herd to prevent any
from straying, but always return to the initial position or it wastes extra
time.
Those are the basics. Bonnie's got a tiny six-head herd to move and this is
rather easy with the above tactic, not to mention they follow the road without
too much guidance. When the tiny herd is assimilated into the bigger one, it's
time to coax them to the next pasture in much the same way. Since there are
other ranch hands helping out, the mission isn't as difficult as it could be.
Once they hit the far pasture, that's all she wrote!

WILD HORSES, TAMED PASSIONS
___________________________
���������������������������
Unlock: Clear "Women and Cattle"
Weapon: Lasso
Reward: 150 Honor
Following a little "political discourse" Bonnie gives John a lasso for use in
the upcoming horsebreaking. Follow Drew MacFarlane to the horse herd and pick
any horse [it doesn't matter; none are top caliber quality] to lasso. Fire
it like a gun but hold down L-trigger to keep the rope taut, NOT R-TRIGGER.
Letting go of R-Trigger will retract the lasso for another try, and make the
horse run off.
Now, when a horse is caught, wait for another rider to lasso the horse also,
giving time for John to dismount (retracting the lasso doesn't matter here)
and jump on the wild one. Breaking horses is ridiculously easy in theory:
make sure John is centered on the horse via left analog stick, and press down
(forward on horse) every so often to not get bucked off. Keep repeating the
strategy until the horse finally gives and gets used to being ridden.
NOTE: Horsebreaking can be hell if you don't get the basics down, so make
sure to use the right analog stick and pay attention to John's lateral
movements more than his front-to-back ones.
After breaking the first horse, Drew will depart with it, leaving Bonnie and
John to get another. Redo the strategy for the first one and call it a night
afterwards...or that's what they thought! More horses are then spotted outside
Armadillo, and there's the final targets are. Tail Bonnie to the ranch hands'
waiting point, and locate the herd on the town outskirts.
The goal is to drive the broncs towards the northern canyon entrance, where
it'll be easier to trap 'em in the narrow confines. Horses react just like
cows except their a bit faster; the zigzag-behind-herd strategy remains,
however. Once the horses hit the yellow map dot, that part of the event ends.
Finally, the stallion (Kentucky Saddler) escapes and Bonnie wants John to
chase him down. Pursue the horse through the canyon and into the desert
prairie beyond, where it thankfully stays in a small area. Breaking this
horse isn't much different from the paints captured before, except it takes
longer to capture.
When all's said and done, the mission ends. Horsebreaking jobs can now be
taken at Ridgewood Farm.
NOTE: The stallion's a bit faster and has better stamina than your average
horse, so John will want to keep it around until something better
comes his way. Make sure to hitch the horse somewhere so it's saved.
Remember if a good horse dies, and John doesn't own the deed, a crappy
average horse comes when he whistles!

The peaceful missions of yesterday are gone -- a freak thundershower is upon
the ranch and the two herds out grazing are about to be scattered! Follow
Bonnie out to the first herd of 11 and start driving them towards the second
herd, denoted like usual with a yellow minimap marker. Given the weather,
the cows are more ornery than usual and will splinter off from the herd more
frequently -- these are denoted with blue teardrop-shaped icons on the map.
Don't leave any behind, y'hear?
When the herd rejoins, lightning strikes a tree and initiates a stampede...
right towards a cliff! Quickly head off the herd to curb its movement, which
is done easiest with the previous mission's stallion and by cutting through
the cattle (rather than around it). It's not game over if any cattle die, of
course.
The final step is rounding up the stragglers with Bonnie, which is simple but
a little slow-paced. When the ranch hands get in formation, take the place at
herd's end and drive them towards the cowpen again. If things've gone well,
all twenty-one (21) should be safe and sound. If any mysteriously disappeared
it's probably because a coyote got one on the way back, so watch out for
those, too.
This is the last Bonnie mission for awhile, if you've been neglecting Marshal
Johnson and the others'.

Drew MacFarlane's been out riding for hours and hasn't returned, and it's got
his daughter worryed sick. Follow Bonnie to the region outside the ranch and
eventually he turns up, his horses killed by rustlers. Return to town to fetch
the wagon and...the barn will be burning! The main entrances are blocked as
well, making the situation grim indeed.
Luckily Marston has a bit of Spider-Man blood in him and takes to finding an
alternate route. Start scaling the crates on the northeast side, then to the
tin awning and windmill platform. To reach the 3rd-story catwalk, grab the
plank along the roof and shimmy until it's possible to pull up -- interior
access is now available!
Once inside, drop down to the ground floor and shoot the pitchfork "lock" off
the door, letting that entrance be opened. All that's left is to shoo the
horses out of the towering inferno, which is done by smacking their rear with
Y-button. The last of the three horses has to be ridden out as the entrance
is partially block by burning debris -- jump that sucker like a hurdle to
finish the mission.
NOTE: People have failed the mission by accidentally running over helpers w/
the horses, so try not to trample anyone.

After first meeting with the marshal and hearing the plethora of excuses as
to why he's letting Bill Williamson's presence slide, Marston decides to help
clean up the town a bit. Follow Johnson to the saloon and find Walton (of
Walton's Gang) leaving town. Time to tail him! Naturally, stalking a target
requires discretion so don't ride ahead and spook him or anything. Eventually
the bonehead leads everyone right to his hideout, Pleasance House.
The bandits will be alerted once the duo arrives, so take cover (RB button)
by the rocks and start the hill's ascent. While hidden, pop out to shoot the
outlaws further up the hill; when one's dead, move to the next hiding spot.
When the generic outlaws around the house are dead, Walton comes busting out
like some wannabe badass. The options are to either (1) deal a fatal shot like
in the head or heart (2) shoot him in the legs to peacably restrain him. The
marshal advised the latter, so do that for the best result.
When the marshal leaves, loot the place for extra cash and hit the trail once
more.
NOTE: Hogtied outlaws disappear at mission's end, while dead ones stay. The
latter is preferable since looting corpses gives extra cash.
NOTE: Try to ride on the way back to Armadillo as opposed to fast-traveling,
as the event (robbery) that starts the Treasure Hunter ambient challenge
often occurs en route. Starting this early can be a good source of cash!

The marshal's second task is to have Marston ride up to the canyons at Pike's
Basin and help eliminate the Bollard Twins' gang of rustlers. Follow the
lawmen to the basin's western entrance and dismount. This time, Eli and Jonah
(the two rocks-for-brains deputies) will accompany to give more firepower.
A little ways in, near the bifurcation, some gunmen will be atop a large rock
and must be eliminated -- luckily there's decent cover nearby. Following, the
team splits up with the deputies going one way and the marshal the other. It
helps to assist Johnson, just to have the teams even.
The "right-hand" path the marshal takes is along the upper cliff paths, so
it not only gives decent cover and sightlines for the small bands of guerillas
encountered, but Marston can even assist the deputies' party if he sees them
chasing rustlers. Past the campsite the marshal suggests collecting ammo from,
head up the ridge and take out a couple snipers by the bridge (use a rifle,
naturally).
Across the bridge, the two parties reunite to take out the bandits along the
canyon rim. The marshal suggests sneaking up on the fellas below so they've
a lessened chance of fleeing -- good advice! Approach until Johnson gives the
go-ahead and let loose. The best way to proceed is clearing any cowboys level
with the team, then use the height advantage to pick off the rustlers in the
encampment below. Since the U-shaped path winds around the enemy location,
taking it slow can ensure they've no good hiding places. [There's also some
red TNT kegs along the tents that can give some easy kills, although try to
make sure no friendlies are in range first.]
Rescue the ranch hands to finish up. Beating this mission allows one to use
Nigel West Dickens ("W" on map) as a new client...which is good since this
is the last Marshal mission for awhile.

As the lawmen inform John the second he walks into the office, a group of
bandits has been running roughshod through the county, this time doing a
triple whammy of murder/arson/rape up near Ridgewood. Time to snuff 'em out
for good!
The posse's ride is uneventful, excluding the two bloody campsites Marston
and the lawmen check out en route. Marston can find a free Winchester Repeater
during the search, if he didn't find (clear Tumblewood hideout) or buy one
already.
When Ridgewood Farm's reached at last, Marston's tasked with checking the
surrounding buildings and barn. Shoot the 2x4 "locks" off the door to see the
carnage inside. A woman says that the bandits holed up in the farmhouse and
took some hostages; not coincidentally, the enemies come out to play right at
that exact moment.
Most enemies centralize around the western entrance, so when they stream out,
it's easy to pick 'em off before they can reach cover. [There may not even be
need to seek cover oneself in this case.] The remaining foes are still at
large inside, so methodically scour the ground floor and move upwards. There's
one hostage being overpowered by an attacker, and another with a gun to her
head (use Dead Eye to snipe the baddie). Remember that one can hug the wall
and open doors with Y-button, a very helpful ability for future knowledge.
After meeting the survivors outside, the marshal posts a bonus of fifty bucks
on whoever kills the bandit boss. Undertake one final ride to the cliffs near
Mercer Station, and an old friend sics his hoodlums on the party. Luckily the
place the crew holds up is solid, and can be defended from many sides. The
horseback enemies come in two waves, and dismount up close -- luckily that
leaves ample time to be picked off from afar.

Bonnie's been missing since the barn fire ended, and Drew's about ready to
go on the warpath against John...until a bandit shows up to claim credit. He
wants Norman Deek freed in exchange for Bonnie, and the trade's to be made up
at Tumbleweed. There's a long ride ahead of the marshal's posse.
Once there, follow behind Deek and walk towards the other bandits. Of course,
they had no intention of handing Bonnie over, and Deek ends up dying in the
crossfire (d'oh!). That means it's time to work through town and kill any
outlaws along the way. Besides the few at the church and the road into the
ghost town, most are holed up in the town square buildings.
When most bandits are cleared out, a cutscene shows Bonnie about to be hanged!
At this point, it's working against the clock to save her. Rush through the
bandits -- perhaps use a quick-firing weapon like the Volcanic Pistol -- and
approach the gallows to rescue her. [This happens automatically, no rope-
-shooting required.]
Mission ends afterwards. Don't forget to loot all those corpses for pocket
change...the buzzards won't need it.

Reward: $50, 150 Fame
The climax fight the New Austin trilogy unlocks after getting the gatling
gun, ammunition, and West Dickens' wagon rigged -- basically finishing all of
everyone else's missions. After some cutscenes, Marston will get to show his
stuff on the gatling gun, mowing down outlaws inside the fort. John won't be
able to remove himself from his turret position, so make things easier by
shooting at bottlenecks, TNT barrels, and taking medicine when health gets
dangerously low! [Some structures can also be broken to reveal better
sightlines.] Reinforcements come from entrances on the right-hand side of the
screen, so remember the doorways and kill 'em while they lack cover.
When the majority of the foes are slain, the marshals arrive to do the manhunt
on foot -- John assists. It may seem tempting to run off by oneself in here,
but many of the doors are barricaded and the lawmen are scripted to run down
the "correct" path, so tag along. There's often a TNT barrel near where the
foes hole up, for extra assistance. [Also, generally, running ahead of the
marshals can do a pincer attack, often catching outlaws off guard as they
have to pick between targets.]
The third and final portion is eliminating the reinforcements coming to the
fort. In "Wild Bunch" fashion, it's an all-out brawl between Marston and his
gatling gun and the enemies. There's a bigger variety than before, with some
on foot, horseback and a couple in wagon, too. This part's definitely more
dangerous than a few outlaws with peashooters, too, as some of the wagons have
their own turrets. Unfortunately, the shrubbery and unbreakable parts of the
area work against Marston, so try to get most of the fools when they appear
on the road/hill.
Beating this mission gives the final New Austin mission, from Irish, down at
the ferry. Don't be late!

After hearing about Dickens' disappearance, Marston can seek him out, finding
his wagon by the side of the road and the snake oil salesman lying in the
dirt. Whatever happened to him, he's in need of medical assistance -- time to
ride to Armadillo! The old-timer's health is displayed at the screen's top,
and if it bottoms out, West Dickens is gonna need an undertaker, so time's of
the essence.
The game has a particular route already mapped, so no fancy cut-across paths
or anything -- West's health declines when Marston's driving gets sloppy! And
it probably will get a bit sloppy since highwaymen (on horseback) attack the
carriage as it passes down the road. Marston can still fire and use Dead Eye
from the driver's seat, however, so aim carefully and keep moving forward.
[On flat stretches of road, press in the right analog stick to look aft and
draw the weapon from that way -- it allows one to move in one direction and
shoot the opposite! Very useful on foot, too, for quick 180-degree turns.]
Trying to outrun the bandits may not be a great idea, as their shots tend to
take a toll on West, whether or not they strike true. At least take out most
before blazing to town...for Nigel's sake. <3
Once delivered to the doctor, West will be able to give missions...after a
short convalescent period, of course. [And no, you can't drive his wagon in
his absence!]

Now that West Dickens is up and at 'em again, he's recruited John for his
newest scam in Ridgewood. Our protagonist once again gets the privelege of
chauffeuring the bunko in his wagon, so remember to stick to the road and
avoid any crazy stunts. Once near the target site, John has to go in on foot
to make it seem like he's an ordinary stranger coming to the show.
During West's exhibition, John will drink the tonic and pretend it's given
him superhuman eyesight and skill, and some feats of excellence will show
that to the "paying public." There are three stunts in all. [NOTE: Failing
one a couple times lets it be redone, although these will be noted in the
Stats portion of the menu, if one wants to avoid any black eyes.]
1) Shoot the cow skull on the porch beam. This has to be done with the pistol
or revolver; no rifles allowed! Luckily, the game highlights the skull with
a small sparkle, so it shouldn't be that hard to strike it on the 1st try.
Just aim carefully!
2) Shoot the tossed cap. The skeptic will throw his hat into the air and it's
up to John to strike it square. It can be done without auto-aim but as the
game suggests, using Dead Eye is by far the most efficient way to do it.
3) Beat up the skeptic. [*gives pause for reader's laughter*] This third
target is of a more fleshy fettle, and bullets have been substituted for
fists. Bare-knuckle fighting isn't that hard -- R-trigger throws up to 3
successive punches, while RB-button guards. The fight is won when Aquila's
knocked out, or lost if Marston's the one sent packing. [Also, pressing
X-button while L-Trigger is held does a little jive jump in a direction,
allowing one to bob like a real boxer.]
4) His honor insulted, Aquila challenges Marston to a duel...well, it's kind
of lop-sided. Disarming an opponent can be done by shooting their gun arm
or hand, which is what has to be done in this case. [In an actual duel,
this leaves the target alive and earns more fame.] Don't kill Aquila!
The awesome display by Marston gives West a mighty crowd, and even Aquila is
hard-pressed to pass up the tonic. Horsebreaking jobs and missions from Seth
(at Coot's Chapel) will now be available, too.

West Dickens is just about to leave Ridgewood as Marston rolls in. The snake
oil salesman has come up with a new scheme to get some currency: racing at
Gaptooth Breach! Yes, the sport of kings. For once, Marston can ride shotgun
and let someone drive him around, which should make the trip a bit more
enjoyable. Upon arriving at the starting point, mount up on the final chariot
and get ready to rumble!
Despite how much fun it would be, attacking the other contestants is against
the rules and disqualifies Marston...but that shouldn't be a problem, since
the opponents are amateurish and slow, giving an easy lead in the first lap.
With a clear lead, Marston should have no trouble keeping it, besides his own
incompetent driving. Gaptooth Breach's terrain is labyrinthine and winding,
so don't be reckless or the wagon will tip! [A tipped wagon allows the match
to be restarted entirely or John to be placed on the track, often with a
rank penalty.] Luckily the giant course is a 1-lap affair.
Clear the match in first place to finish the mission proper. [And yes, John's
cut of the action is REALLY three dollars.] Completing this mission opens up
Irish as a new client -- he's found in Armadillo.

Before West does his selfless act (something he "strongly discourages in all
wise and rational men"), he needs John for his tonics act. It seems to be a
mere repeat of the Ridgewood job until some riders come up and expose West as
a phony. It's time to beat a hasty retreat! John once again rides shotgun as
it's easier to pick off the pursuers.
And pick them off he shall! The wagon does a good job of escaping but the
riders behind ride fast and often. There shouldn't be much trouble sniping
them from afar -- with or without Dead Eye. [The driver-side blindspot that
should be there is even gone, thanks to Mr. Dickens' timely ducking.]
Somehow, there's a roadblock down the road, but it can be dismantled by
shooting the dynamite kegs in the back.

As the title suggests, this will be another racing mission. The destination's
up at Rathskeller Fork, and John will have to ride his horse there -- which is
good since this competition is on horseback, not in a chariot. The same fair
play rules apply as back then, though, and attacking other riders causes an
immediate disqualification. Naturally this mission's harder than the previous,
with people constantly jockeying for pole position, and leads gained can be
quickly lost due to rider error. This mission is all but impossible without a
fine horse, though, so hopefully that Kentucky Saddler (caught during "Wild
Horses, Tamed Passions") is still around.
So are there any edges the player can use? Besides Horse Pills (increases max
stamina temporarily) and Apples (refills stamina), not really. Just stick to
flat ground, don't override the horse (spur every 3-4 hoofbeats) and hold
A-button when not spurring to maintain speed for a bit. Bumping other riders
also decreases speed, so once ahead of the pack, do your best to stay there.
Like before, this is a 1-lap race.

Marston's first meeting with the odd fellow introduces Seth's primary reason
for existing: finding long lost treasure! If only his partner Moses Forth
hadn't taken half his map and gotten caught exhuming... But John's got a mind
to fix that dilemma, and rides to Benedict Point with his new partner.
In order for Seth to find Moses, Marston will have to make a distraction and
get the law out of the area -- steal a deputy's horse! Once the mediocre steed
is obtained, the best course is to ride southwest along the railroad tracks
and good a headstart on the lawmen; then, when the cliff opens up, ride up on
it and double back, letting the search party trail off.
Once back, Moses will try to escape and it's up to John to catch him. The
safest way is to chase him, hogtie, and carry. Using Dead Eye to injure his
legs can be a double-edged sword, as Dead Eye Lv2 automatically marks the
target (much to many gamers' chagrin) and can end up killing the poor sod.
When the map's location -- Oddfellow's Rest -- is revealed, use Seth's pardon
letter at the nearby telegraph office to erase that pesky bounty Marston's
accumulated. That does it for the mission.

and keeps the coffin firm.
Following the marked trail on the minimap, avoid Armadillo and keep to the
outskirts. Eventually treasure hunters will start to tail the party, so
either Dead Eye 'em off their horses (some have Fire Bottles) at leisure.
Unlike previous missions, there's no time limit or healthbar for the wagon,

bloodbath as treasure hunters crawl out of the woodwork to oppose the duo.
If one's already cleared the Tumbleweed hideout, this fight will be a redux
of lesser proportions. Basically, one has to fight small guerilla groups in

After kicking Irish from his drunken stupor at Benedict Point, John finally
gets the machine-gun's true location: Gaptooth Breach's mining community.
Follow Irish there and he'll split to get a flat wagon for transporting the
gun ("heavier than sin!") which leaves John as the one to kill the residents.
The mining camp is mostly composed of tents, crate stacks, and a couple wood
buildings, with a minecart track snaking through the environs. When the couple
miners walking about (and the two patrolling guards) are slain, more emerge
from the two main structures and mine entrance. Needless to say there's tons
of cover at both insertion and "just around."
Inside the shaft, there'll be more miners to fight, but the strategic placing
of TNT boxes can help make the burden easier to bear. Just remember that the
enemies can accidentally set these off to, so if you're not going to attack
an enemy with 'em, detonate the box just to be on the safe side. [Doesn't the
game seem to be populated with morons who leave dynamite laying around?] Oh,
and shooting oil lanterns makes them explode similar to fire bottles' effect.
NOTE: If you've been doing the Funny Man stranger task, the reporter may be
hogtied in this cavern near a TNT keg, so check the minimap carefully
to avoid blowing the sucker up.
When the mine is cleared of the fools, grab and push the minecart to the

Irish turns up again at Thieves' Landing, and once Marston knocks some sense
into his dumb hide, it's time to find the gatling gun's replacement parts.
John's partner leads to the warehouse on the far side of town. Of course, it
can never go as planned, and Marston ends up having to save the stuttering
fool from his captors.
To start, find the first ladder along the aft side of the warehouse and use
it for roof access. The game suggests walking slowly or crouch-walking to
hamper extra noise, and it's a good tip. [If they're alerted, 1-2 men may
leave the "beating room" instead of staying in the confined space.] Either
way, take out the rest of Shaky's attackers, perhaps from the safety of the
door entrance (hug the wall with RB-button).
When Shaky's free, shoot it out in the warehouse interior. The best vantage
point is that balcony nearby, which gives the height advantage regularly and
can eliminate anyone dumb up enough to come up the stairway bottleneck. Of
course, there's extra TNT boxes lyin' around too.
NOTE: Marston's horse may spawn inside here, which can put it at risk for the
TNT attacks -- this normally doesn't matter, but it would suck to lose
the 20-straight-missions achievement on something so minor. Maybe don't
hit the dynamite in this situation.
The third leg of this rat race takes place in the enclosed freight yard right
outside the warehouse (the place Irish tried to get into before). The fight'll
take place at level ground, although Marston can get a headstart on everything
if he climbs the warehouse's interior balcony -- the one that had the TNT --
before opening the door.
When the foes are bleedin' in the dirt, the ammo's received. Just ride out
with Irish and fend off the wagon from a few more attacks -- luckily, Johnny

Once goodbyes are given, Irish starts the Mexico-bound ferry...only to have

raft drifts sidewise to give John some cover. [This is the time to collect
the Springfield Rifle nearby. There's also a free ammo crate available, too.
The Winchester Repeater will probably carry its weight more, though.]
Because of the current's movements, it's often possible to kill the riverbank
bandits or just hide a lot of the time -- those further up the bank will have
better trajectories, though. The main problem with this mission comes with
dynamite-throwing banditos from the cliffs, as one square shot blows up the
raft and ends the mission. It pays to have a forward-looking sightline for
that very reason!
At the end, Irish will beach and Marston can finally reach Nueva Paraiso! The
song "Far Away" will play when the horse is mounted, giving a grande entrance
to Mexico. NOTE HOWEVER that dismounting the horse, or taking a different
horse, will cause the song to stop -- many people don't know that.
Completing this mission does a few things:
- Bridges to New Austin are now completed
- Mexican hideouts (Tesoro Azul, Nosalida) can be completed
- Arm Wrestling and Five Finger Fillet minigames available for the first time
- Ambient challenges can be continued down here
- Landon Ricketts (Chuparosa) missions available by default

- Shack at Puerto Cuchillo is obtained for free
- The Hungarian Half-Bred (white horse w/ dirty face) can be found in Mexico
My advice, before starting any missions, is to hit up the Mexican towns and
buy all the region maps -- this new land is quite barren map-wise, and this
will assist greatly. Also, buying any new property in Mexico should open up
the Mexican Poncho outfit.

lot easier to use than LV2: once in Dead Eye, pressing RB-button will "paint"
the target for a shot. In this way, Marston can pick and choose which targets
to hit, whereas LV2 would automatically do it whether it was useful or not.
Complete Landon's tests of breaking three bottles in one Dead Eye, then two-
-plus birds in the same, to get the tutorial stuff out of the way.
Following, Ramon from the bank says the wagon shipment is under attack just
outside of Chuparosa -- Landon to the rescue! Follow him out (the horse John
last saved in New Austin will be back, replacing Irish's horse) to the site
and use the new Dead Eye to snipe the bandit who has a hostage.

Landon's big heart has him poised to help free a Mexican's sister who's being
imprisoned in El Matadero...and John is volunteered automatically! He can
either ride ahead or take the train with Ricketts, the latter (recommended)
having a bit more dialogue than the former.
Once in El Matadero, seek out Carlos at the butchery and hatch the plan to
infiltrate the cave prison, requiring the gunmen to wait at a rock while the
other creates a distraction (if you can't speak Spanish, get a translator --
it's kinda funny). Battling inside is at mid- to close-range, so if you've
bought the Semi-Auto Shotgun, it can earn its keep in here.
Ricketts will try to blow Luisa's cell open when it's found, so keep watch
while he prepares his dynamitic door-opener -- about four more guys try to
stage an assault. The fighting on the way out will be Marston-centric since
Landon's carrying the girl. At the mouth of the cave will be some horses
Carlos fetched but the player's normal steed ain't there, so whistle for it
immediately to avoid a ride on some subpar steed.
The last leg of the rescue is escorting Luisa out of the canyon. Ricketts
staves his speed so let John lead the way, taking out the pendejos who've
all got cover, elevated positions, or both. [Using a rifle here may serve one
better, but it's up to the player.] The mission ends once Landon and his lady
reach the northern crossroads safely.

Ahhhh, this author's favorite mission! Landon Ricketts asks John to play some
cards with him, and the poker tutorial starts (-$100 automatically). The next
two hands are always won by John, upsetting a German named Muller, who's
short fuse was already burning by Ricketts' hot streak and antagonizing. So
much violence has begun over cards, and this one's no different -- Muller
wants to duel John.
For readers who haven't done duels before, Landon gives a rough take on how
they go. Basically, when "DRAW" comes on the screen, press L-trigger to
unholster the weapon, right analog stick to control the reticle, and RB-button
to "paint" the target with upcoming shots. Picking better shots -- like the
arm or head -- raises the duel gauge more, ensuring Marston comes out alive.
In this duel simply aim for the head, as IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISARM MULLER
and trying to will only earn Marston a coffin.
But one duel ain't enough! A little while later, a man comes over and wants
to duel...only this one has a girl hostage. This duel can't be as scattershot
and sloppy as the next as shooting the girl earns a big, fat game over sign!
Immediately following, some banditos try to capitalize on the situation and
start shooting, so team up with Ricketts to take 'em down. It's worth noting
that Landon is an NPC who'll actually kick ass with his gun, unlike Irish or
West Dickens. Huzzah!

As Ricketts and Marston prepare to drown themselves in self-pity as relics of
the Old West, Luisa arrives to ask for assistance in preventing the deaths of
a writer and official. Time to hit the trail again! The conversation en route
is one of the best between the two cowboys, so pay attention!
A couple miles west of Frontera Bridge, the wagons are suddenly encountered.
The order of operations for this is to wait for it to pass, then come up aft,
taking out the federales and wagoner. Dead Eye LV3 completely bowls over the
fools, and as long as Marston's behind the wagon train, it makes targeting
them much easier.
Once the wagon's halted, pile into the lead vehicle's driver seat and head
for the suspension bridge at Ramita de la Baya (that's east). Unfortunately,
besides having two of the sickliest-lookin' nags pulling the cart, there's a
roadblock near the bridge's entrance so quickly take everyone out -- stopping
the cart can be fatal! [The horses automatically stop if there's fire on the
ground, so don't be slow on that trigger.] Laughably, there's a gatling-gun
raft towards the end in a ridiculous position to assist, so that won't be
much trouble. Reach America to finish up.
Aww, the final Ricketts mission...parting is such sweet sorrow. On that note,
after the mission ends and Marston's just standing roadside, don't get mauled

After an odd welcoming, John's introduced to Capitan de Santa, one of Coronel
Allende's trusted men. He is about to spring a trap on the rebels -- by luring
them out to attack a train of no strategic value -- and Marston is enlisted to
assist. [He can ride on himself or sit shotgun with Vincente and have some
spry dialogue.]
Upon reaching the train station in Chuparosa, the escort assignment begins.
The train engine will have its own healthbar; obviously, should that bar fully
deplete the mission fails. Since the engine (i.e. front of train) is the key
target to guard, it's often best to stay close; however, following the train
itself may make it easier to gun down the rebels, giving a better trajectory
as they race away and parallel. It's up to the player, I s'pose. [And, of
course, the train can run over Marston if he's just loafing around, so, uh,
don't. Pressing in the right analog stick gives an idea of clearance.] The
middle ground is staying around midlength and shooting through the flatbed
cars, but that may give mixed results. [Those sympathizing with the rebels
can just shoot their horses and leave them behind. ^___^ ]
Once the player has a concept of correct maneuvering, it's just rinse and
repeat. Note that there are allies in the Mexican Army riding nearby, so try
and avoid shooting them (de Santa has a soundbyte asking why Marston's aiming
at them or himself, to wit). Mission ends when Casa Madrugada is reached.
...or at least the player would think so! Rebeldes stage a final attack by
attacking the train's guards and setting it on a collision course with a
rigged bridge down the way. Marston (huh!?) has to go alone (HUH!?) and stop
the train himself. To do this, get a fast horse and ride alongside the train
-- remember going on the road maintains speed better -- and jump onboard the
conductor's car. [Jump onboard by synching speed with the train and pulling
up to an opening, then press X-button at the prompt.] Successfully stopping
the disaster ends the mission, for real this time.
NOTE: If one's done all Landon's missions, Luisa's mission opens at this
time.

challenges Marston to a race! Once there, the soldiers all commence the raid.
Marston's done plenty of urban warfare by now, so this fight won't be that
different. Keep cover close by and watch for windows, rooftops, and nearby
obstacles foes may hide behind. This is always important, sure, but especially
so here where reinforcements may appear at the drop of a hat, easily putting
John in a bad position. Once the bloodbath's over, though, John is given the

Marston's asked to ride with Vincente five seconds after arriving at the gate:
rebels have seized the Eastern fortress of Torquemada! For those who aren't
geographically inclined, that's all the way on the other side of the map, so
it's quite a long carriage ride. [There's no witty banter at all, so feel free
to skip ahead instead of waiting ten minutes.]
Torquemada's fortress is on top of the cliffs, making it accessible by a long
path up and along the mesa's rim...and it's the only way. To assist Espinoza,
Marston is given his first sniper rifle (near wooden platform's base) so use
it to get headshots on the Rebeldes atop the cliffs. The ascent of the cliff
path starts with defending the blockade, then select battles where there's
rocky cover to be had. Save the sniper rifle for when Espinoza mentions there
are other snipers, as they can pick Marston off twice as quick as hoodlums
with peashooters.
The approach to Torquemada itself is a little more dangerous, with snipers on
the fort's layered balconies and roofs, and riflemen/infantry along the thin
road forward. Luckily, there's just enough room to flank the foot soldiers
while staying out of the snipers' way. The Rolling Block Rifle is inaccurate
at really long distances (for some reason), so if you want to try extreme
sniping the shot may trash anyway, even with perfect stillness. Try to move in
a bit before using it.
Mission ends when Torquemada is free from rebel scum! [Gamewise, Five Finger
Fillet can now be played in the fort.]

De Santa stays at home for some R&R while Marston is coerced into helping
babysit a supply train in exchange for info on Javier and 20K pesos (That's
what, 5 dollars back then? Nyuk nyuk). Either way, ride shotgun with Espinoza
to Chuparosa, which is rather pleasant 'cept for a few rebel guerrilas on
horseback. [No option to fast-forward, either.]
Once in Chuparosa, Marston meets his old mistress, the gatling gun! Yes, it's
been awhile since she was seen but with new recruits accompanying the captain,
no one else can man it. Unlike the gun in West Dickens' wagon, this one has a
360-degree turn radius. Undoubtedly the best position to fire in is when the
rebels are running parallel with the train but aren't alongside Marston --
this allows him to shoot the rebels or their horses easily while still seeing
if anyone on the opposite side is approaching. The steam engine is the rebels'
target and if destroyed, gives a mission failure.
After going through the tunnel, rebels will start hopping aboard the train,
forcing John to fight a battle on two fronts. The route is similar to that
taken in De Santa's first mission, so the player should be moderately
familiar with it. Once the train gets a bit past Casa Madrugada, the task'll
end at the army's bivouac.

Good news for Marston's ears: Escuella and Williamson have been captured in

shotgun with Vincente, who passes the time by having John square off against
his top marksmen: whoever gets the most kills in 5 shots gets $25. This
happens three times.
Once the Chuparosa church has been searched, Marston will have to run through
crossfire to get his restraints freed. He can't jump or roll to evade shots
in his current position, so quickly cross the street and take a side alley to
Reyes. Following, reclaim John's weapons from the chest near the fountain
plaza. Take out a few soldiers and the goal changes to eliminating the "boss
target" at the police barracks' 2F. [They can be accessed from the interior
stairwell or by climbing the crates alongside building. The latter way is
often better as it may catch "the boss" in a precarious or disadvantaged
position.]

Luisa's young sister, Miranda, is trying to escape the country while the rest
of her family (save Luisa) heads for the hills. Her ride leaves at sundown at
the docks, and it'll be quite a drive to Puerto Cuchillo -- which is where
the free house Marston got was. Time to save her from the Mexican Army's evil
clutches, so don't waste any minutes hanging around, as the clock starts as
soon as the cutscenes end.
After encountering the first Army checkpoint, the plotted route goes to hell
and Miranda will dictate the new impromptu path whenever an enemy wagon or
roadblock is seen. John has little else to do besides drive like the wind,
luckily, as most mini-events can be bypassed completely via speed. [Emilio's
stagecoach has four horses, unlike normal carts' two, so it every one of the
opponents' vehicles!] Other than that, many of the byways and frontage roads
Miranda has John take are snaking and annoying to maneuver through, so there
is always the danger of tipping! Be particularly careful around the elevated
train tracks as, if the stage falls in-between that and the escarpment, there
is little to no way out. Failing the mission does the entire thing over, too,
so that incentivizes things a bit, eh?
By keeping his foot on the gas the entire way, John should be able to reach

A teary-eyed Luisa informs Marston that Reyes has been captured and taken to
El Presidio, the clifftop fortress-cum-jail, for execution. Ride shotgun with
her (no extra dialogue, so skip there if y'want) and locate the broken-down
wall that allows for infiltration.
Once inside, stealth to the sniper's nest (there's a Rolling Block Rifle there
if it wasn't obtained earlier) and get in position. The job is to finish the
Executioner, the man standing close to Reyes where he's tied up. The shot can
be a little hard, so try to aim a bit to the left to avoid killing the titular
savior. Taking out the target alerts all the other soldiers, naturally, but
John's position gives supreme cover -- use TNT barrels strewn around for extra
oomph, too.
When the coast's clear, cut Reyes free and get a horse nearby. Note that it's
not possible to whistle for John's saved horse inside, so either get it before
saving Reyes or get it after exiting the citadel. Some reinforcements will be
trying to stop John, but on a Kentucky Saddler (or better), their pitiful nags
won't be enough. An NPC guide conveniently shows the cliff path to find the
river, where the mission ends. [If you take too long in getting to Luisa, the

As Luisa's troubles continue, she vows to make a family death mean something,
hopefully by spilling enemy blood. An army convoy is taking an old trail to
reinforce Allende and she has her heart set on stopping them dead (no pun
intended). Marston will "landmine" the road with dynamite and then man the
detonator to ensure the convoy is blown to smithereens.
Proper placement of the dynamite is key, at least if y'want it to be a major
force in the destruction (i.e. doing most of the hard work). Clumping it
together is a dumb move, because -- as one would expect -- no wagons are
going to advance over ground they suspect is dynamite-laden. Basically, put
the charges all along the road, starting under the bridge and up the northeast
part of the road. [Select the spots with Y-button. There are five in all.]
Once the dynamite's buried, go up to the detonator and wait for the convoy to
approach. Since dynamite goes off one by one, not in one giant clump like one
may expect, it's important to pick which charge to detonate. The goal is wait
for the lead wagon to run over the farthest charge, so when it's destroyed,
the other carts are directly in the remaining charges' path already. [Using
any alternative typically ends in a bunch of dynamite that hits nothing.]
Regardless if the dynamite is that useful, it'll be up to the rebels and John
to destroy the survivors before they can escape.

The title says it all, really. Vincente is planning a massacre at El Sepulcro

graveyard and catch De Santa red-handed. Unfortunately, he's got a platoon of
Mexico's finest (buffoons) to act as meat shields. The graveyard itself is a
well-made structure and the peripheral wall and tombstones provide great
cover. Towards the end, De Santa will try to flee, so shoot him in the legs
and hogtie him like any other escapee. [Two shots to his extremities slays
him, though, so one shot'll do.]
After the simplistic mission's climax, John can choose to shoot Vincente or
have the rebels deal with him -- neither changes the reward obtained. Either
way, the destination is then Casa Madrugada, a ways down the road. There'll
be a few more federales to destroy there, but in the end, it turns up bupkis

"Mexico's savior" has no trouble asking John along for a train robbery, which
will take place in Chuparosa. Once the slow-paced ride is over, Reyes gives
John the throwing knives to silently eliminate the train's stationed troops,
making it simple to disconnect the army cars. Wait until Abraham leads the
door troops out, then board the train. As long as none of the troops shoot
their firearms, the remaining troops (at front of train) will not be alerted.
Do it silently and uncouple the train to avoid extra hassle, basically.
[John can execute enemies with them up close but this may be unwise given the
proximity to other guards, so stay mid-range!]
When the first part's done, commandeer the gatling gun and wreck the campful
of foes alongside the tracks. [These are the foes you'd have to take out w/o
the gun if guards were alerted previously.] Slaying the camp leaves the final
part of the "liberation," that is murdering the rest of the stragglers on the
supply and conductor's cars.
The getaway takes John near Casa Madrugada, and it's finally case of fighting
the law and the law losing! Reyes' present to John is blowing the armored car
(by planting dynamite on the roof hatch; be careful!) and safecracking. To
crack the safe, turn the dial clockwise until the controller vibrate, then
counterclockwise for the same, and then once more clockwise. Doing it out of
order resets the combination. [The revolver you get in the safe seems to be
a Schofield Revolver, which John got in Ricketts' first mission.]

Another self-explanitory title. Reyes has been the only person in Mexico who
could fulfill his promise of helping John, and now Javier Escuella has finally
been located in El Presidio. Once the long and careful ride to the citadel is
complete, Reyes says his plan: launch a diversion while Marston...drives a
wagon full of TNT in a suicide attack!? That's sure what it seems like. Just
make sure to jump off the wagon a little ways before the gate, ensuring it's
blown up and John ain't.
With the gates wide open, El Presidio can be ravaged. Thankfully, Abraham says
his troops will shoulder the fighting, giving Marston time to search the area
for Escuella. Out of the three question mark icons that can be inspected, the
true spot is the barracks, i.e. where most of the infinite amount of troops
are running from. After a short scene, Javier tries to make his escape by
jumping out a window. Quickly follow -- the same route he took works -- and
clearing the balcony, which should give enough time to see him mounting his
horse. Kill that sucker, put one in Escuella's leg, and hogtie that bastard
before bringing him to the jail cell.
Of course, the Army's somehow sent reinforcements but this place is well-
-equipped to deal with such rabble. Man a cannon and start blowing their
wagons to kingdom come. Just remember that cannonballs arc, so the farther a
target is, the higher Marston needs to aim to hit them square. [Although the
blast radius gives a little leeway, so no worries, generally.] Be mindful of
the reload times, especially if any federales get close.
With no more worries in the immediate future, fetch Javier from the cell to

The final Mexican mission! Reyes' rebels have won countless victories up to
now and are now poised to storm the provincal capital of Escalera. The first
step is actually saving Reyes from his captors, which culminates in a duel
with Raul Zubieta. He's just some random soldier and should pose no challenge
at all, thankfully.
Following, time to save some local rabble...err, rebel from the local clink.
Defeat the guards inside and then shoot the locks out -- it helps to aim the
trajectory so the bullet can't possibly penetrate into the prisoners, natch.
With the preparations finished, rejoin Reyes and start the assault up the
road to the mansion.
There will be soldiers prefacing the fortified road section, and once taken
out, a bigger threat: a gatling gun bearing down the road. The best way to
do things is to shoot the foot soldiers (hiding on road) from outside the
machine gun's range, then take out the gunner and move upwards. Reinforcements
will arrive halfway through, and the gunner position is filled by random
guys. [It's quite easy to die here if you run in Rambo style, so take it slow
if you don't like repeating this boring segment over and over!] Once the
road is cleared, use the turret to blow up the gate's TNT, breaching the
mansion. As soldiers rush out the bottleneck, mow 'em down with impunity;
then, enter inside and use the soldiers' makeshift barricades to nix any
remaining morons. FINALLY, remount the turret and eliminate any hostiles
trying to crest the hill.
But where is Allende and Bill? They try to escape out the backdoor, barely
managing to make it to a stagecoach before captured. Kill the soldiers near
the alternate gate and take one of the horses around -- any whistled horses
spawn incorrectly here, often on the other side of the mansion where they
can't be ridden. Once the stagecoach is caught up to, disable it by killing
its detail, driver, and machine-gunner (!?). Marston can give Bill what he
deserves, at long last, finishing up the Mexican part to the story.
As Marston says, his jailors want him back in Blackwater, which is in the
West Elizabeth section of the map -- that's the place north of Thieves'
Landing that was inaccessible before now. Notes about West Elizabeth:
- Free safehouse at Blackwater's saloon
- Remember to buy region maps at Blackwater & Manzanita Post!
- American Standardbred (all black horse) can be caught in Great Plains area

Once they get their hooks in ya, they don't let go... The Blackwater g-men

hunting down the final member of the gang, Dutch van der Linde. Apparently
he's holed up with renegades at the wreck of the Serendipity riverboat, and
that's the next destination. Marston gets the High Power Pistol -- arguably
the best one in the game -- and has his first automobile ride, too. How
nice...
At the wreck site, everything will be deserted so investigate at leisure.
Once on the top deck, the beaten-up informant (Nastas) will be found...but
he can't walk. Again, beaten-up! Marston will have to carry him back to the
car, and fight through the baddies on the way out. Luckily he can wield a
pistol without dropping the informant, so make sure it's the High Power Pistol
(or Mauser, if you prefer) and aim well -- there's no taking cover while
carrying someone. Nastas can die if he gets shot too much, also.
On the way back, the car breaks down, giving Dutch's men a final chance to
attack the team. Luckily the Model T craps out right by some boulders and an
old flatbed, giving plenty of cover...although it's not really needed. Just
use a rifle and Dead Eye to pick off the large group of horse-riding Indians.
Finishing the event gets the car working, and the mission ends back in town.

In true "Wild Bunch" fashion, the lawmen are planning a surprise attack in
Blackwater for when Dutch visits his bank manager. Marston is recruited to
help, of course. Get up to the rooftop sniper's nest, take a Rolling Block
Rifle if not obtained already, and wait for the renegades to leave -- that's
the cue to open fire. Check the 2F windows and descope momentarily if y'need
to see the environment better. Don't let any escape to the horses (left) or
around the building (right).
When enough outlaws are slain, rush into the bank with two of Ross' men.
A couple renegades will be behind the bank tellers' window, and one holds a
woman hostage. Upstairs, three more hoodlums to take care of. Once Dutch is
finally met, he'll miraculously escape (!?) and need to be pursued out of
town.
Posse up with the lawmen and ride to Tall Trees, where the escaped renegades
are forced to continue on foot after their car wrecks. Fighting in all the
foliage can be very annoying, and it's easy to accidentally shoot an ally in
the chaos -- just a head's-up that doing so is an automatic mission failure!
Also, copy everyone else and dismount from the horse as the extra elevation
makes Marston a sitting duck for snipers. The fight brings everyone up to the
abandoned Bearclaw Camp used by loggers, and the mission ends when all the
rebels are grizzly food.
Speaking of which, Bearclaw Camp is a notorious grizzly hangout, and since
Marston remains here once the mission and its non-grizzly-spawning protection

With the constant failures in capturing Dutch, the lawmen have recruited some

supplies where everyone's waiting for them. Marston's chariot is a lot better
this time, a faster, more armored vehicle with a gatling gun emplacement on
the flatbed. It doesn't provide that much cover, really, but it does give a
bit.
The battlefield will be the entire Great Plains, actually. It starts out at
the camp, fighting off 3-4 waves of gangbangers, where the best strategy is
to do medium-paced sweeping shots with the gun, ensuring that the scattershot
gun kills the targets without repeat tries. Priority should be given to the
members who throw dynamite -- being hit by a stick is basically an instant
KO. Luckily, the likelihood of this is slim early on, ensuring if one does
die in this fashion, at least there's a checkpoint. [Dead Eye isn't available
when on the turret.] Towards the end, there's a dynamite-packed wagon to
detonate, and that about ends it for these festivities.
NOTE: when firing up/downhill at targets, the gatling gun will typically
fire into the top of the vehicle's cab, trashing the shot and being a useless

Reward: 500 Fame, 45 Honor
[This starts automatically following the previous mission.]
But it ain't over yet. The Army fears Dutch will escape if given the chance,
so everyone rides the (most ridiculously lengthy trail) to Cochinay, where
all hell breaks loose once the entrance gate's blown off. There's resistance
on the road into town, and at the village, Marston can command the vacant
gatling gun to dwindle the local population. The ever-popular "place TNT in
places for no reason" characteristic is still around as a shortcut to victory.
When the next gate's about to be destroyed, defend the dynamite soldiers from
Indians on the upper catwalk. If both "planters" are slain, the mission fails;
one soldier can die, however. Past there, it's Dutch's territory -- not
surprisingly, he's denoted with a boss symbol.
Now, Dutch starts on a fortified machine gun nest which prevents him from
being shot. The trick here isn't defeating him but forcing him to leave the
position, by exploding the oil lantern and catching the wooden walkways on
fire. This leads to a "chase scene," except it can be taken at leisure and
is quite linear, going through the walkways and tunnel system in the mountain.
Watch the scenes to end the mission and head on home to Beecher's Hope. [That
song is "Compass" by Jamie Lidell, by the way.]
This opens up Abigail's missions.

Unlock: Clear "Bear One Another's Burdens"
Weapon: ---
Reward: Binoculars, 25 Honor
Now that Nastas' condition has improved thanks to MacDougal (musta been all
that cocaine!) he reveals the location of Dutch's gang -- the Cochinay hills.
Using a secret unguarded path, the team arrives at the cliffs northwest of
Nekoti Rock. Get up the first cliff with Nastas' help, then find an alternate
route up the second by shimmying west via a time-worn crack. Once regrouped,
investigate the cave, then escape it when some miners send in a cart full of
lit dynamite. Of course, they must die for their sins!
With Nastas staying behind due to a pinprick...err, life-threatening injury,
Marston has to scale the cliffs alone. Start in the west, and as y'climb, keep
in that direction until the path mandatorily leads east toward the miners'
shack. It's quite possible a grizzly or cougar will spawn along the way, so
listen for telltale growls and animal corpses...after all, if you didn't
kill it, something else did! Near the top of the old mining track, the next
segment of the cliffs begins -- this one leads to the summit.
At the peak, neutralize the scout silently (i.e. throwing knives or knife) to
obtain the Binoculars item. The mission ends a few scenes later.

Unlock: Clear "At Home with Dutch"
Weapon: ---
Reward: 25 Honor
One of the more simple missions. His narcotic-fueled mind abuzz, Harold has
managed to set a meeting with some of Dutch's men up at Bearclaw Camp, in an
attempt to settle the differences between the two. Of course, that peaceful
goal is thrown out the window two seconds after arrival at the cabin. Marston
will have to shoot his way out and escape back to Blackwater on horseback.
There will be at least 2 fights en route, maybe more if everyone lollygags.
Reach town to finish up.
NOTE: When fighting the grizzly in Tall Trees, there's an odd occurance where,
if both Harold and Marston are thrown from their steeds, Harold will
take John's horse and use it for the rest of the mission. If John tries
to whistle for a horse, Harold's comes instead. [This isn't permanent,
but it's still kind of annoying.]

With the setup scenes where Dutch's gang wants MacDougal's head, Marston will
take up the task of alighting him to the train station at Manzanita Post. The
first step is escaping Blackwater, done by running across the rooftops to the
horses' last location (in previous mission). This is done after rescuing
MacDougal from a captor and defeating the rooftop riflemen Dutch has stashed
around the surrounding streets.
Once in the Great Plains/Tall Trees area, there'll be two bandit attacks to
fend off. It's pretty normal fare, although if John dies, he's reset back to
Blackwater, making it kind of annoying to deal with. Luckily the professor
doesn't stop riding for one second, and often makes it to the station before
John! Meeting him there ends his missions, and puts the ball back in the
court of Ross...

Weapon: ---
Reward: $100
With the reunion complete, rebuilding the farm is the next step in John's
plan. Jack will accompany John en route to MacFarlane's Ranch in what turns
out to be an actual leisurely ride, no surprise bandit attacks or nothin' for
once. Once Drew gives the go-ahead, meet with Bonnie at the corral to get the
herd moving like the good old days (15-head this time).
The ride back will take the herd through the northeast part of Hennigan's
Stead, through the Montana Ford, and east past the railroad camp to Beecher's
Hope. Unlike the first segment's piece and quiet, there's a shootout with some
rustlers towards the end. They may end up killing some cattle if they can't
make off with 'em, so if you want a perfect reward at the end, stop 'em cold!
After that, it's just riding past the hill and corraling them into the pen.
NOTE: From now until the post-game, John will wear the Rancher Clothing and
cannot change at the player's whim. Gotta wait awhile!

Unlock: Clear "The Outlaw's Return"
Weapon: ---
Reward: 50 Fame
This just might be the simplest mission in the game, befitting a quiet country
rancher. As John's sweet-talking his wife, she notices the corn silo's window
is open and crows are eating from it. John to the rescue! The object here is
to kill about 20 crows and scare the rest off. The silo's "healthbar" depletes
when a crow rushes into the open window, and mission fails if it bottoms out.
The easiest way to do this is to have a repeater, preferably the 22-clip Evans
Repeater from Blackwater, and some Dead Eye-refilling items like Tobacco to
simply go to town on the suckers. Trying to manually aim or use some low-ammo
gun make not work out so well, as many players have seen.
NOTE: Another funny way to beat this is to use the "homing dynamite" trick
(using Dynamite in Dead Eye) to defeat many crows en masse. That way
John can get 10+ if things work out right.

An urgent telegram says the entire county of Hennigan's Stead has had their
corn sack supply (!?) eaten by weevils (!!!) and only John can assist the
MacFarlanes. This is a typical delivery type of mission, with a 12-hour timer
added for the way to -- which is very easy to beat, even if one goes slow
enough to hear all the couple's conversations -- and nothin' but pleasant
chatter on the way back.

Now that the outlaw has returned safetly, it's time he reacquainted with his

lead the duo up into Tall Trees. Follow him to the lone elk, then kill & skin
it to demonstrate the process to Jack. When the second and final herd's found,
let him kill one and take down the others. The last leg is stopping by the
Manzanita general store and selling the elk meat for some profits.

With Jack turning into a regular Danny Oakley (*snicker*) it's time he put
his skills to good use, scaring off wolves threatening the herd. Rufus and
his nose are enlisted as well, as the family Marston seeks out the wolfpack
up in Tall Trees. After a long ride, slay the lobos in the small clearing,
then the remaining ones up near Tanner's Reach. They're usually at a cliff's
base, so take 'em from level ground instead -- it's easier that way. [Jack's
horse has died on this mission, so don't ride too far ahead, and maybe even
stay away from rivers and high cliffs, if possible.]

Jack's gone hunting grizzly by himself, and it's up to John to save him from

between the eyes and mount up for home, which is thankfully uneventful. If
only they had one of them ambulance sirens...

With the family's missions done, Jack's -- and the game's -- final one shows
up. Soldiers will attack the farmstead, forcing John to steel his family in
the house and defend the yard with Uncle. The first wave attacks from the
south on foot, a typical bunch except a few may throw Fire Bottles. Retreat
to the house's porch for the second and third waves, both which arrive on
horseback (from SW and NE, respectively) and dismount to seek shelter. The
porch provides excellent cover; there really couldn't be a better place to
shoot these double-crossers. Rejoin Uncle when they're gone.
During the flight to the barn, 3-4 more waves appear from all the directions,
using horses to quickly close the distance. It's highly recommended to use the
silo -- whose ladder has been fixed for this very mission -- as it provides a
height advantage and welcome cover, not to mention the action typically
centralizes right below it. Just make sure to use Dead Eye to get some fast
kills as Jack/Abigail can die if Marston's trigger finger gets too lazy.
When the Army's held off, rejoin la familia at the barn and see them off to
safety. John, however, faces off against the army in one last showdown. The
outcome is fixed, by the way, and John automatically enters Dead Eye during
the course of it. When it's all over, return Jack and Abi to the barn for
the reunion. [The song that plays in the ensuing scene is "Bury Me Not on the
Lone Prairie" by William Elliot Whitmore, by the way.]
---
Now, that's the final story mission. However, the story has no closure until
Jack -- who the player can now control -- completes the "Remember My Family"
stranger's task. This can be started in Blackwater immediately by visiting
the train station. [See Stranger's Tasks section for details.]
As for what carries over into the future, everything does typically, even
horses that would otherwise be nags by now. [Jack starts with a gray horse,
but after ditching it, whistle again and the old one should return.]

Uncle's sleeping instead of taking the herd to pasture, so John kicks his old
keister into gear and decides to help out. Like usual, an NPC leads the herd
and John has the back position, controlling their movements in a lazy zig-zag
pattern. [True to his nature, Uncle may not help out that much, forcing John
to do the shepherding without someone in the lead position. He can't be that
poor a ranch hand, can he...?]
En route to the Great Plains pasture, the duo finds themselves interrupting a
train robbery. The explosion spooks the herd, forcing John to stop the herd
(move to front position) and hope they don't get hit by a train. Luckily if
the train moves in-between the herd, that forces the rest of the stampeders
to halt, too.
As for the train robbery, John can defeat the bandits or stay with the herd.
There's about eight people on horseback to defeat if Marston can't resist the
urge. Either way, round up the stragglers (usually about 3)

Uncle's spotted some wild mustangs beyond a nearby ridge, and with the ranch
almost in the red, collectin' a few could help. For those who always sucked at
horsebreaking, time to do it anyway. After a short ride 'cross the prairie,
the herd is spotted, mostly a mix of 2-star types and nothing worth keeping
(which is good because they can't be kept anyway). Marston has to catch three
in all, which he should've already had practice doing in previous missions
and maybe even searching for regional wonderhorses. Most are rather feisty,
though, so there's no easy-peasy ones. When all three are caught, return to
the ranch corral to finish.

EXTRA NOTES
�����������
� AUSTIN OVERPOWERED: Beat Twin Rocks, Pike's Basin, and Gaptooth Breach in
multiplayer. This doesn't have to be in the same session.
� BUCKIN' AWESOME: Break the Hungarian Half-Bred, American Thoroughbred, and
the Kentucky Saddler in the campaign. One can know they're broken in by
checking to see if their deeds are available for purchase at general stores.
There's a bit of glitchiness with this achievement, seems like, so if all
else fails, re-break the horses and see if it unlocks.
� DODGE THIS: Perhaps the best way to get this is going to "The Herd" as a
Marksman (II) and peek over the edge at the start, and snipe a bunch of the
rustlers in the basin below. It's incredibly easy as long as one's handy
with the weapon.
� HEADING SOUTH ON A WHITE BRONCO: This is obtained by getting a $1000+ bounty
and evading the cops while southbound on a Hungarian Half-Bred. Note that
the description's specificity about the US marshals is false -- this can be
done in Mexico as well (can personally verify). A good way to do it is to
hide up in the Escalara mansion's guardtower, kill federales until the
right amount is obtained, then hide in that tower until the wanted level
disappears. Ride out of town, hopefully reinitiating the fugitive search,
and hide in the southern hills until the achievement unlocks. [Apparently,
killing the pursuers also unlocks the achievement...]
� FIGHTIN' AROUND THE WORLD: There are seven saloons in the game (Armadillo,
Rathskeller Fork, Thieves' Landing, Escalera, Chuparosa, Casa Madrugada,
Blackwater) and a knockout is classified as an opponent falling to the
floor unconscious -- it only lasts a few seconds. Note that beating up an
unwilling participant, like someone who runs away, doesn't seem to count
so always pick on people your own size (i.e. who fight back)!
� HIT THE TRAIL: Get from Blackwater to Escalara, before sundown, in a single
multiplayer session. This works best if one has a fast horse and a lobby
with few (belligerent) people. Note that if the achievement is gotten in a
vehicle of some kind, whoever's riding shotgun also unlocks it!
� MANIFEST DESTINY: Buffalo that die other than being shot -- such as falling
off a cliff, getting hit by a train, etc. --- don't count towards the
achievement and don't respawn either, so always make sure Marston is the
one who gets the credit!
� NO DICE: This is a lot easier to do with only one opponent, as it means
Marston only has to win five hands in a row. This is great because once 4
hands are won, it's easy to determine what the guy's last die is based on
his bet. [Try playing against 2 opponents and you'll fail a lot!]
� ON THE TRAIL OF DE VACA: To "discover a region," buy the map of that
region at a general store or similar place; then, use that map from the
inventory (they're one-time-only expendables). Doing this for them all will
unlock the achievement.
� RED DEAD ROCKSTAR: This is obtained by killing a Rockstar dev or someone
else who's killed one. As such, it's somewhat of a "viral achievement," in
that as more time passes, it gets easier to obtain.
� THE GUNSLINGER: Once the targeting mode is set to Expert, make sure the
headshot obtained is on a listed enemy, i.e. red dot indicator. Shooting a
civilian or domesticated animal doesn't seem to work to those ends.
And, of course, there's avatar awards to find. Most are available, but some
are dependant on the yet-unreleased Skin it to Win it/Strike it Rich DLC.

Ambient challenges are found in campaign (single-player mode) and completed
by John doing certain feats of excellence in surviving, hunting, and so on.
Extra explanations will be given at the bottom of each section. Each AC is
started in a different way.
MASTER HUNTER -: Shoot and skin a coyote
SHARPSHOOTER --: Shoot a bird
SURVIVALIST ---: Pick a wild herb or flower
TREASURE HUNTER: Do the "save the treasure hunter" random event

| 01 | Kill and skin five (5) coyotes |
| 02 | Kill and skin five (5) deer (only does drop pelts, remember) |
| 03 | Kill and skin five (5) wolves; all 5 kills must be w/ melee knife |
| 04 | Kill & collect (5) boar tusks and three (3) armadillo carapaces |
| 05 | Kill and skin two (2) cougars; one kill must be with the melee knife |

| 10 | Kill and skin Lobo the legendary wolf and Brumas the legendary bear |
|____|______________________________________________________________________|
* - LV5: Buffalo Rifle can be purchased
* - MAX: Obtain health-refilling item when skinning animals
Hunting is mostly about knowing where animals appear. Coyotes, deer, and
wolves are all commonplace in New Austin, and wandering into the wilderness
can usually find some. Boars and Cougars are a bit harder to find, and they
tend to stick to the sandhills along the Rio Bravo (try south of Hennigan's
Stead). The Greenhollow area, where Gordo the legendary boar can be found, is
also a huge boar hangout. Elk, bighorns, and grizzlies are found easily in the
mountainous Tall Trees area in West Elizabeth...although there is at least one
random Great Plains event where a hunter chases a grizzly around.
The legendary animals spawn in certain places, and only after many of their
brethren are slain. Lobo is found in the Barranca area of Mexico, around the
ruined clifftop house. Khan spawns at the Tanner's Reach cabin in Tall Trees
or Ojo del Diablo in Mexico, while Brumas spawns at Bearclaw Camp or Nekoti
Rock. All legendaries have increased health, stopping power and (typically)
speed, so try to spot 'em from afar and nix 'em quickly.
NOTE: Legendaries may spawn at different areas than listed, like Ojo del
Diablo in Mexico. Check the challenge information to see which place
to go.

|____|__________________________|___________________________________________|
* - LV5: Doubles Survivalist Maps' potency
* - MAX: Obtain Deadeye-refilling item when picking herbs
These challenges are all about picking wild plants, which is pretty easy in
theory -- all plants grow in specific places and the game tells y'where they
are. Despite how many grow around, picking a plant only adds +1 to the
inventory. [Picked plants grow back after a few days.]
WILD FEVERFEW ---: White flowers clumping on the prairie
DESERT SAGE -----: Purple flowers growing from a small bush
RED SAGE --------: Obviously, red-colored flowers
PRICKLY PEARS ---: Flowering clumps of cactus
WOOLLY BLUE CURLS: Elongate bluish flowers on a small bush
BUTTERFLY WEED --: Bright yellow flowers
HUMMINGBIRD SAGE : Elongate white flowers
PRAIRIE POPPY ---: Small yellow flowers clumping on prairie
GOLDEN CURRANT --: Found on the Great Plains' shrubs (very easy to spot!)
VIOLET SNOWDROP -: Flowers with dark-colored petals
Obviously, using a Survivalist Map to display the area's plants helps a lot
when doing this stuff.

| LV | TASK |
|����|����������������������������������������������������������������������|
| 01 | Kill five (5) flying birds |
| 02 | Kill five (5) rabbits |
| 03 | Kill five (5) coyotes before they attack |
| 04 | Kill five (5) birds from a moving train |
| 05 | Kill two (2) different animal types with one Dead Eye attack |
| 06 | Shoot two (2) people's hats off |
| 07 | Kill three (3) bears with one shot (sniper rifle, shotgun, etc.) |
| 08 | Shoot two (2) people's hats off and disarm two (2) people |
| 09 | Kill six (6) animals without reloading/changing weapon |
| 10 | Disarm six (6) people without reloading/changing weapon |
|____|______________________________________________________________________|
For the trick shooting required in this category, it's usually not the kills
that are hard to do. Killing two animals with one Dead Eye is easy since
domesticated animals count towards the total; alternately, go to a diverse
area like Bearclaw Camp and get it. Getting hatshots is easy by aiming too
high for a headshot, and they don't have to be done in one session, so it's
a leisurely activity. Killing bears with one shot isn't that hard with sniper
rifles or close-up shotgun blasts; just don't try weaker pistols or anything.
For the last two objectives that require no reloading/weapon changing, this
can be hard if done with a low-ammo weapon (like Revolver). Obviously, things
like sniper rifles are out of the question. The best solution is to use the
Evans Repeater for these tasks, since it carries 22 shots and gives plenty of
leeway for misses. Killing six animals isn't that hard in species-diverse
areas (I think domesticated animals _don't_ count?). Disarming six gunslingers
is done by shooting their gun arm, so pick a hideout with lots of fellas, like
Gaptooth Breach, and go to town.
NOTE: Using Dead Eye can cause the weapon to reload afterwards, which sucks
for the last two challenges.

* - MAX: Can carry twice as many consumables
As its name would suggest, these challenges are all about finding buried
treasure maps, all of which look like tiny clusters of stones. In addition
to getting a map for the next rank, Marston also receives a gold bar that
can be sold for extra cash. The bars found by rank are (1) none (2) Rhode's
Gold (3) Jackson's Gold (4) Calhoun's Gold (5) Tubman's Gold (6) Brown's Gold
(7) Douglass' Gold (8) Garrison's Gold (9) Pickett's Gold (10) Stonewall's
Gold. [There is no use to the gold besides selling it, note.][+20 Fame for
finding each, +50 for final]
Maps can be checked by selecting them from the inventory. The clues given
typically show landmarks the player may have seen (Ojo del Diablo is a unique
one, for instance) although some may include step-by-step instructions or
extra text, too. For reference, maps #1-4 are found in New Austin, #5-8 in
Nueva Paraiso, and #9-10 in West Elizabeth. They can't be done out of order,
either.
NOTE: Some places, like Roca de Madera and Broken Tree, don't appear on the
map without zooming in. Don't wander the hinterlands without first
checking that out first!

ANIMALS [ANML]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Animals can be found in any area of the map, with certain species available or
prevalent in certain ones. When killed, they drop various items that can be
sold for profit (they fetch higher prices if sold in areas where they're not
readily found, note).
It's worth mentioning that smaller animals, when killed by ridiculously over-
-powered weaponry, may disintegrate and leave behind no drops. It's best to
use pistols and other firearms against those types of creatures.
TIP: Complete copies of RDR come with a foldout map that displays several
common animal locations; this map is also shown in-game in pretty much
the same format. Checking around where the animal pics are displayed
helps for some sightings, like foxes. [Zoom-in/out to see pics as needed]
The following table should be self-explanitory, hopefully. The "IND" section
comments on which of the three main regions it can be found in: New Austin,
Nueva Paraiso, West Elizabeth. [Domesticated animals, like cows, chickens,
and dogs aren't needed for the Unnatural Selection achievement, and typically
give bounties when killed as they're owned by someone. WILD horses are still
necessary for the achievement, however.]
Note that most animals can be found just by wandering off into the prairie
and waiting awhile -- very few wild critters venture into city limits (an
exception would be raccoons). If you know an area where they're supposed to
spawn, try camping a bit to pass the time, or wait until it's day/night. Some
animals are strictly nocturnal (owls for instance) and only appear when in
the twilight hours.
NOTE: If any readers have better spawn locations than that listed, send 'em
in and I'll replace 'em.

BOUNTIES [BNTS]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Bounties are a form of earning cash, by eliminating outlaws, dead or alive.
To start a bounty hunt, find a wanted poster -- These are posted by lawmen at
particular locations, listed below -- and accept the challenge. Posters will
display a random bounty target at a random region-specific area. If a player
wants a specific person, making a save before the poster's put up helps quite
a bit; then, reset until the desired bounty's obtained. Note that usually,
the $600 bounties don't appear until a few of the petty thieves are caught.
NEW AUSTIN ---: Armadillo, MacFarlane's Ranch, Rathskeller Fork
NEUVA PARAISO : Chuparosa, Escalera, El Presidio
WEST ELIZABETH: Blackwater, Manzanita Post
Bounty-hunting always follows the same pattern: once the bounty is accepted,
the criminal appears at the set location with some helpers. Killing helpers
allows Marston to do the dead-or-alive part. Capturing a bounty alive means
hogtying and loading the person on horseback; killing the bounty requires one
to loot the corpse for proof of death. Either way, the foe's reinforcements
will assault Marston all the way back to the nearest bounty claim office, so
always be prepared! [Learn how to fire backwards while riding...]
NOTE: All bounties, even those with little gang affiliation, have respawning
reinforcements that pursue Marston. The American Standardbred can
outrun them all 9 times out of 10, provided it's on a normal road --
it's recommended for all these. [Helpers don't pursue in city limits,
however, so "towns on the way" are good places to breeze through as
they force another respawn down the way.]
NOTE: Bounties aren't put up on the weekend, and sometimes the sheriff won't
put up a poster (d'oh!).
As far as overall completion goes, it's completing a bounty at all locations
that matters, not capturing all the criminals (who will reappear as bounties
whether they were dead/alive previously). All areas have 8 unique locations,
except West Elizabeth's 4, making 20 places to visit overall.
Here's the breakdown for the perps.

CHEATS [CHTS]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
RDR cheats are found in-game, often scrawled in out-of-the-way places, and
can be input by going into 'Options' and then 'Cheats.' Inputting a cheat
lets it be turned on and off at leisure, but while activated, one can't save
or unlock achievements. [Make sure to input codes verbatim!]

CO-OP MISSIONS [CPMS]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Cooperative Missions are selectable from the multiplayer menu once one gets
the "Outlaws to the End" DLC. There are six missions in all, and finishing
those six unlocks Advanced Cooperative Missions to do.
Some changes from normal multiplayer is that when critically injured, one
requires a teammate to be revived (before bleeing out). Dying in a mission
means one can't be revived until the next checkpoint's cleared. Obviously,
if everyone dies, that's the end of the road! Luckily missions can be redone
in that situation.
Here's an overview on the missions.
AMMUNITION
����������
Locale: Tesoro Azul
The goal here is to clear out the town, the fronts (western & eastern; the
enemies outside the gates, in other words) and then the far ridge where the
cannon emplacements are. When the ridge is cleared, plant the explosives at
the designated spot and blow up the munitions to end everything.
Clearing out the town is undoubtedly the first task, as the federales stream
through the two gates at the start. Throwing dynamite at the bottlenecks helps
a lot; it's better with two or more people doing it. There's also a couple
in-town vantage points to start killing sandbag troops on the surrounding
hills. Just remember the cannonfire is centralized on the town only, so being
inside is hazardous! It makes sense to clear out the eastern ridge first
(every time) since it's the weakest and least fortified.
Once the eastern front's gone, it's not a bad idea to go straight for the
cannons' ridge, flanking it from the east -- this gets the jump on everyone
and gives better rifle trajectories. [Not to mention, avoiding having to
bother with the heavily fortified western front, which can some doing in the
cold wind & rain.] Cannon-gunners can be sniped from below their position,
too, but that's a bit more dangerous.
When the ridge is clear, use the cannons to bombard the western front and
take out most of the would-be nuisances. This cannonade should give clearance
for someone -- or a soon-to-be-respawning person -- time to get the explosive
from intown and hightail it back. Plant the explosive, get in the detonator's
"safe zone" and blow those heretical weapons to kingdom come.
ADVANCED NOTES: No special ones, although it pays to work efficiently, stay in
close range to revive allies, and clear out the eastern front soon so the
cannons' chance of killing someone is diminished. Having a sniper rifle user
in the proceedings helps ridiculously well, particularly where the fortified
ridge is concerned.
THE ESCAPE
����������
Locale: The Scratching Post, Benedict Point, Tumbleweed
This is a three part mission, and a fun one at that.
1) STOP THE ARMS DEAL: Everyone starts on a ridge overlooking The Scratching
Post, making it a good place for rifle/sniper fire. The goal is to kill
all the arms dealers and make off with their wagon, riding to Benedict
Point while fending off pursuers. The ride is short but someone'll have
to drive the gold-filled stage back, too. Have someone ride shotgun for
extra help.
2) CLEAR OUT TUMBLEWEED: Ride from the station to Tumbleweed and start
eliminating the gangfolk in town. There's less than a typical hideout
would have, but the eastern ridge has manned cannons and there's machine
gun emplacements in town and at the mansion. The best way is to have a few
people hijack the cannons and a couple go through on foot, eliminating
Walton's gang on two fronts. [Just be careful not to kill teammates with
cannon volleys, naturally...people who can't aim shouldn't use the weapon!]
When Tumbleweed's silent, ride back to the station.
3) ELIMINATE THE ARMY: The final step is eliminating both the American and
Mexican Armys who want to hold the players responsible for the trashed
arms deal. An old-fashioned duel shootout takes place, then eliminating a
few more folk hiding at the station platform. Following, commandeer the
gold wagon and start making for the border bridge, southeast of Plainview's
oil community. Enemies attack on foot and horseback along the way, but the
wagoner can typically barrel forth and avoid most annoying situations.
Crossing into Mexico ends the mission.
ADVANCED NOTES: Two of the steps involve driving a gold-filled coach, so it
should be obvious that good teammates assist the driver in fending off the
pursuing bandits. They _can_ KO that teammate if given the chance, and the
driver should really be concentrating on steering instead of fighting the
much more mobile foes. Basically, make sure someone's riding shotgun; don't
both having everyone ride in the coach!
Also, the Tumbleweed step can be made easier by not following the designated
path into town, and instead climbing the south ridge. This lets one get to
the cannons easier, not to mention ambushing the gangbangers with a height
advantage.
THE HERD
��������
Locale: Pike's Basin
Arguably the most boring of the six missions, this involves reappropriating
rustlers' stolen livestock, then bringing the 20-head herd into Armadillo.
The strategy is:
1) LIBERATE THE LIVESTOCK: The players start on the upper east entrance to
the canyon, so the ridge path acts as a natural barrier against the lower
foes' shots. [Just be careful not to fall off.] Snipe and use rifle-fire
to eliminate the first bunch of goofballs, then the reinforcements who
emerge from the tents. Following, unlock the cattle pen to start the
second step.
Remember that the technique for escorting cattle is to have someone in the
front and a person in the back, the latter of which keeps the cows from
straying. This isn't much of a problem in the close confines of Pike's Basin
but will be once outside. Also, in a 4-player team, this frees up two people
to assist in other ways.
2) ESCORT CATTLE OUT OF CANYON: There are two ambush points the rustlers use
en route. The first is near one of the campsites seen in the PB hideout
run, and the second further down the way, on a higher parallel path that
multiple rustlers use. The second is the biggest and most deadly, as the
bandits will start slaughtering cattle -- they can kill 10+ easily if
given the chance. The trick to saving the beef is having the people who
aren't escorting to ride ahead and get in position to ambush the ambushers.
One person alone shouldn't do it; someone should be on-hand to revive!
3) ESCORT CATTLE TO ARMADILLO: Once out of the basin, the designated path is
to go near The Hanging Rock, then loop around to Armadillo the long way,
ending at the stable. The hilly region makes the rustlers' mounted attack
semi-effective innately, as it's quite hard to shepherd the cattle and
put up a fight at the same time, at least without sacrificing any of the
milk-makers. This is one of the steps that gets easier with practice,
knowing where all the bandits are scripted to appear.
The mission finishes successfully when at least 5 cattle are returned to the
town. Any less than that is automatic failure!
ADVANCED NOTES: Nothing that wasn't mentioned above, although a team will
_really_ want to ambush the rustlers during their second in-canyon appearance,
as they really tan those cows' hides. The good news is that players ambushing
from level ground can shoot the off the cliff to lower ground, where those
leading the herd can deal the finishing blows (if they survive at all!).
The way back to Armadillo is still pretty hard but, again, it gets easier
knowing where the attackers are going to be coming from.
THE KIDNAPPED GIRL
������������������
Locale: Fort Mercer
Another three-stepper, this one a mix of hideout objective previously seen
in campaign. Farmer MacGuffin's daughter has been kidnapped and it's the
players' duty to return her safe and sound.
1) STORM FORT MERCER: A well-travelled player will have intricate knowledge
of the fort's layout, but now there's a couple machine-gun emplacements
at its main gate, requiring some quick work right off the bat. The hill
everyone starts on makes for good sniping, too, picking off those on the
wall and sniper's tower. When the way's clear, plant the taken explosive
and blow the gates off. The way forward from then on is like a typical
hideout purge, except instead of many reinforcements coming from level
ground, there's just more enemies hiding near the back gate and where the
LeMat Revolver spawns in multiplayer (roof towards back). Afterwards, when
the hostage is freed, she'll run to the coach...someone's gotta drive!
2) RIDE TO RIDGEWOOD FARM: The designated path to farm country is down the
road, ignoring Plainview's area, and dipping under the nearby railroad
bridge. This is the easiest way so don't consider any goofy detours. Some
attackers will be found all along this path, with snipers by the bridge
and horseback pursuers otherwise. In normal co-op, it's quite easy to make
an XP killing here.
3) ELIMINATE FARM BANDITS: Once the farm is reached, the place will be
crawling with outlaws trying to exact their revenge. Most are along the
corral and house environs, but the most dangerous ones are the snipers on
the surrounding ridge -- they'll pick off players with impunity, making it
quite a scramble for mission newcomers. Hiding inside the farmhouse can be
a good idea if there's too much heat. Clearing out the foes finishes the
mission.
ADVANCED NOTES: The most dangerous part of the entire mission is the ambush
at Ridgewood Farm, and you can bet that driving the coach in willy-nilly will
get everyone killed...those snipers are deadeyes. It's recommended to exit
the coach once the pass -- the hill overlooking the farm -- is reached, for
countersniping and just general cleanup. It may be a bit slower than normal
co-op but it's much safer; plus, the hostage stays in the vehicle instead of
doing something stupid. Hooray!
THE RIVER
���������
Locale: Crooked Toes, The Scratching Post, Nosalida
Ahh, a river mission. The players will be floating down the river on a raft
a la "We Shall Be Together in Paradise," except this time there's no ammo box
onboard. Enemies will line the riverbanks, both running and ahorse, while
enemy rafters riding upstream (!) will have to be dealt with. Luckily, those
stupid rafters have a TNT crate along and shooting it sends 'em sky high.
However, the main meat of the mission is the three locations where the big
shootouts occur.
NOTE: There is no incapping on the raft. You die until the next checkpoin!
- Crooked Toes is the Mexican prairie with the weird rock formations, and
it's where the bandits attack first. Try to stay at level ground so the
sagebrush isn't a giant distraction (less important on normal co-op) and
get on horseback to expedite things, considering the reinforcements' spawn
areas.
- The Scratching Post is seen in "The Escape," so it's not that unfamiliar, I
hope. Fighting around this little one-room shack can be kinda fun, but with
foes flanking the place, it's important to not get too separated. The house
itself has the best fortifications; the twiggy fences kinda...suck.
- Nosalida is where the mission's climax takes place, during which there's no
checkpoints so be careful not to wander out into open ground or fall over-
-board like a goonie! Like the hideout purge, many enemies are centralized
around the town fence, with others being in the assorted buildings (this
includes the inevitable reinforcements). Some army bigwigs will ride around
on horseback throwing fire bottles, so eliminate them quickly to avoid any
potential mishaps.
There's a glitch here that, after reboarding the raft at Crooked Toes, a
player stays on land while comrades set sail. This means having to ride along
the south shore of the river until Nosalida, with none of the checkpoints
respawning and one being generally useless if without a sniper rifle.
ADVANCE TIPS: Again, the Nosalida shootout has no checkpoints after landing
at the dock, so bring any reckless tendencies to heel 'cause they typically
screw it up for everybody. [Example: running into a far house, dying, someone
goes to revive, they die, etc.]
WALTON'S GOLD
�������������
Locale: Gaptooth Breach
This is almost a carbon copy of the Gaptooth Breach hideout event, with the
goal being to clear the outdoors, steal a minecart, and fight off attackers
on the way out. There are a few differences though:
- During the first portion, there will be a dynamite-thrower (Stanley Mund,
bane of everyone's existence!) and a couple snipers ready to kill anyone
gonzo 'nough to walk into plain sight. Both are on far ridges, one kittie-
-corner from the other. Overall, this first part can be quite annoying if
people are KO'd in the early going, so commit the snipers' and Stanley's
positions to memory. [Less important is a machine-gunner who can be easily
sniped.]
- In the mine portion, instead of the cart being fully loaded already, the
players must gather the moneybags manually. Each player can carry two at
once; the cart can only leave once 12 (of 18) are loaded. Remember that in
the minecart room, there's a drop-down point from the upper walkway but
it's two-way -- climb back up the hewn rock to get to bags faster.
- During the third and final stretch, the players will start in the "lounge"
and fight off the miner reinforcements. Most come from the camp area but a
large group comes from the ridge behind the lounge, making it dangerous for
one to go running off recklessly. Luckily, once the initial wave of smelly
gold-grabbers is eliminated, there's a window to mount the gatling guns
nearby and eliminate those arriving from near the mission's starting point.
At the very least it's excellent suppressing fire.
ADVANCED TIPS: Nothing not already mentioned. Sometimes this mission is very
glitchy -- such as spawning people invisibly, intangibly, a giant pile of
minecarts outside, no enemies spawn, etc. -- so if that happens, it's best to
just leave as there's no way to finish it.

HIDEOUTS [HDTS]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Hideouts are gang-run structures the player can take on in campaign and free
roam multiplayer, earning experience and weaponry (temporary only in multi-
-player). Hideouts are only found in New Austin and Neuva Paraiso; the heavy
law presence in West Elizabeth clamped down on gangs there, mostly.
Rewards in campaign consist of a small amount of money ($15-25), 50 Fame,
200 Honor, and a permanently unlocked weapon dependant on the hideout. In
free roam, a player gets experience for beating the hideout with bonus XP
awarded for whoever does a certain condition (listed as 'bonus' below). The
weapons that spawn here can be picked up and used for the free roam session's
duration, but are lost once one leaves -- they unlock permanently when certain
levels are met.
FORT MERCER
�����������
Unlock: Clear "The Assault on Fort Mercer"
Gangs : Banditos [multi: Bollard Twins]
Locate: New Austin [Rio Bravo]
Reward: Semi-automatic Pistol
Spawns: LeMat Revolver
Bonus : Gang Leader Killed [bonus XP to whoever does the deed]
Fort Mercer is a large fort with strong ties to the campaign, and getting
through can be quite fun. It has two doors but the "back door" doesn't open
until the place is cleared, making the proceedings rather linear at times.
Enemies line the high wall with snipers in the NW tower, the latter of which
should always be eliminated early on or they start picking away at a player's
health. Reinforcements come from the ground-floor rooms and the 2F walkway
behind the gallows. The final wave of reinforcements come from a single room
towards the fort's back, and the close proximity makes it ideal for throwing
dynamite/fire bombs to kill them en masse. Slaying the gang leader gives an
additional XP bonus.
[In campaign, the mission is much the same, except there's an NPC helper to
assist.
GAPTOOTH BREACH
���������������
Unlock: Clear "Man is Born Unto Trouble"
Gangs : Treasure Hunters
Locate: New Austin [Gaptooth Ridge]
Reward: Springfield Rifle
Spawns: Dynamite
Bonus : Checkpoint Hit [9 possible for pusher only; 25 XP/per]
The hideout can be accomplished after Irish's "Man is Born Unto Trouble"
mission, which takes place here. The setup is an injured man near the entry
road wants John to rescue his friend Floyd, who's being held in the railhouse
nearby. Once freed, Floyd leads John into the mine -- through resistance, of
course -- to find a treasure chest containing about $125, all for Marston to
keep. Exit the mine to finish up.
In multiplayer, the journey is much the same, except there's a mine cart full
of moneybags to push to the track's end (gives 25 XP for each checkpoint hit).
Of course, the resistance is much tougher also.
NOSALIDA
��������
Unlock: Clear "We Shall Be Together in Paradise"
Gangs : Rebeldes
Locate: Neuva Paraiso [Punta Orgullo; western edge]
Reward: Henry Repeater
Spawns: Carcano Rifle
Bonus : Civilians Killed
Like Tesoro Azul, this is a rebel-held town and they're friendly until the
player decides to start shooting. There is a low wall rimming most of houses,
plus an outbuilding near the river. The first wave of reinforcements flanks
the town via the riverbank area, while the second comes from the same but
holes up around the town fence. Additionally, there'll be some dogs to take
care of! Respawning on top of the dock boathouse is a great boon, giving a
height advantage and ample cover & sightlines to boot.
PIKE'S BASIN
������������
Unlock: Clear "Justice in Pike's Basin"
Gangs : Bollard Twins
Locate: New Austin [Hennigan's Stead]
Reward: Sawed-off Shotgun
Spawns: Evans Repeater
Bonus : Bomb Planted [3 possible; 100 XP/per]
In campaign, the task is to help a rancher recover his cattle; in free roam,
it's to destroy the gang's stolen munitions crates. Plant the explosives with
Y-button and back away to avoid any damage. Reinforcements typically come as
the crates are destroyed, too. There's three battles to be fought in the
basin: (1) the northern canyon bend, where reinforcements come from the cliffs
and the north road (2) the east-central basin proper, where the gang's main
force is held up and the road doubles back on itself (3) the southern reaches,
which occurs in the same manner as #1.
TESORO AZUL
�����������
Unlock: Clear "We Shall Be Together in Paradise"
Gangs : Rebeldes
Locate: Neuva Paraiso [Punta Orgullo; east side]
Reward: Double-action Revolver
Spawns: High Power Pistol
Bonus : Whores Saved [5 possible; 50 XP/per]
Tesoro Azul is a two-gate town with climbable walls surrounding the place.
There's a few riflemen on rooftops that should be taken out immediately, and
a bunch of other banditos in town itself. Two waves of reinforcements come
when the current force dwindles, and there's some people on horseback who
throw (an infinite supply of) fire bottles into the player's vicinity. The
women in town are helpless and don't fight back; killing them detracts from
the bonus XP, actually.
NOTE: The town only turns hostile when the player initiates the firefight.
This means it's possible to sneak in and get the High Power Pistol,
then leave if necesary (especially good for those who haven't earned
it permanently).
TUMBLEWEED
����������
Unlock: Clear "New Friends, Old Problems"
Gangs : Criminals [unaffiliated]
Locate: New Austin [Gaptooth Ridge]
Reward: Winchester Repeater
Spawns: Bolt Action Rifle
Bonus : Targeting Bonus [Example: Normal Targeting = 100 XP]
In campaign, events here are done by freeing a hogtied deputy and assisting
in eliminating local rabble, both in town and the gang-held mansion. During
free roam, one must do that (excepting the sheriff helper) plus clear out any
idiots in the church and barn nearby. The barn, church, and mansion all have
roof holes or windows to throw dynamite/fire bottles in, perhaps eliminating
some fools or flushing them from their hiding spots.
TWIN ROCKS
����������
Unlock: Clear "New Friends, Old Problems"
Gangs : Walton's Gang
Locate: New Austin [Cholla Springs]
Reward: Volcanic Pistol
Spawns: Mauser Pistol
Bonus : Cleaned House
Twin Rocks is a fan favorite just because of how quickly it can be done, in
any mode. It's prudent to eliminate the snipers (2 on the rock pillars, one
on roof) and mow down the remaining enemies and reinforcements as they come
out of the house single file. [A great way to get kill chains, to say the
least.] What differs between campaign and free roam is helping the stranger
out by rescuing his daughter, who's being held hostage inside the house.
Killing the captor releases her safely; accidentally slaying her gives no
honor bonus like normal. [In free roam, the daughter situation is replaced
with another wave of reinforcements, approaching the building from a few
different directions.]
The Cleaned House bonus seems to be earned by eliminating the reinforcements
(1st wave) as they emerge, but before they get too far away from the doorstep.
Others theorize it has something to do with kill-chaining them, but that
doesn't always seem to work.

MINIGAMES [MNGM]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
There are six minigames in RDR. They're technically optional but winning
one of each is necessary for outfit unlocks, not to mention a few points to
the game's overall completion (if y'want that achievement). Their icons are
displayed on the world map for easier identification. The game also usually
gives a tutorial on how to play 'em.
NOTE: If an icon is grayed-out, it means the game can't currently be played,
usually due to lack of participation.
____________________
��������������������
ARM WRESTLING
____________________
��������������������
Available: El Matadero, Pacific Union Railroad Camp
This is one of the easier minigames by its simplicity. Marston faces off
against one opponent, trying to pin his arm to the table. Pressing A-button
will force the enemy's arm in one direction; holding R-trigger attempts to
hold one's ground. The key is to watch the opponent's face, holding ground
when they attempt to push Marston's arm, then push their arm when they get
tired out. When their arm's close to the table, Y-button can do a fast pin
to win. [Game goes to 2 per opponent.]
____________________
��������������������
BLACKJACK
____________________
��������������������
Available: Blackwater, Chuparosa, Thieves' Landing, Rathskeller Fork
Blackjack is a fairly simple card game to learn the rules of, but as it's a
game of odds, hard to master (if at all possible). Each card is assigned a
value, and the players attempt to get their cards' cumulative values to 21,
which is the magic number. Card values are as such: aces are worth 1 or 11,
face cards are worth 10, and number cards their assigned values. [Thus, an
ace + face card = automatic 21, or a "blackjack"] A player "wins" when they
get a hand better than the dealer.
At the start of each hand, a player is dealt two cards from which they can
either "hit" (add another card) or "stand" (keep current cards). If anyone
goes over 21, they "bust," or automatically lose. If a player gets two cards
of the same value, they can "split" the cards, thus having two hands to bet
on that round. Each hit will then add a card to each hand, increasing the
chances of winning or busting.
____________________
��������������������
FIVE FINGER FILLET
____________________
��������������������
Available: Armadillo, Escalera, Manzanita Post, Thieves' Landing, Torquemada
Another simple minigame! This one is about pushing a certain button sequence
in a limited amount of time, mimicking the enemy's as they stab the knife to
the table in-between their fingers. [Messing up cuts one's own fingers...ow.]
The sequence starts out simple, using only two buttons for the first opponent,
but can end up using all four for the later opponents. The minimum amount to
bet rises as later opponents are fought. [Note that if one loses, opponents
beaten do _not_ come back -- no restarting!]
____________________
��������������������
HORSEBREAKING
____________________
��������������������
Available: Chuparosa, Ridgewood Farm
Less of a minigame than a fun pasttime or optional job, breaking in wild
horses allows John to (1) get a free steed (2) buy the steed's deed at most
general stores, which lets him summon the horse should it die. Horsebreaking
requires a lasso to hold the horse, and when John jumps on, he'll have to try
to maintain balance to get the animal used to being ridden. The trick is to
watch which side John's leaning off and move back towards center, occasionally
pushing down on the control stick (forward on horse) to avoid being bucked off
backward.
When John takes on a job, he breaks the horse in exchange for some cash, apx.
$80-90. The horse then becomes his "trusty steed," meaning it comes when John
whistles. This can be annoying if one already has a better steed, or was
trying to get the "Spurred to Victory" achievement, so make sure to have a
deed on hand to summon a better "caballo".

��������������������
HORSESHOES
____________________
��������������������
Available: Las Hermanas, MacFarlane's Ranch
Horseshoes is a game played to 11 with two players, where each tries to throw
the titular shoe to the other end of the "field" where a metal stake is stuck.
Each player gets two throws per turn, and whoever gets closest to the metal
stake wins the round, winning 1 or 2 points (depending on if both shoes were
thrown better than the opponent's). Hitting the metal stake with a horseshoe
is called a "ringer" and earns three points. Note that the horseshoe's ends
have to be around the stake to be an actual ringer; nicking the stake isn't
a ringer and doesn't give the corresponding achievement. [Winner must win by
2!]
To throw a horseshoe, first adjust Marston's aim and make sure the far peg
is toward the center of the held horseshoe itself, as that increases the
chance of getting a ringer. Next, watch the gauge: the trick is to release
the shoe at around the center line, which propels it forward well. Releasing
at the ends of the gauge gives the throw too little steam or too much steam,
which throws it skyward instead of laterally.
The game can take a little practice to do right. Just remember to adjust the
aim every throw or Marston'll (typically) screw up.

��������������������
LIAR'S DICE
____________________
��������������������
Available: Escalera, Casa Madrugada, Thieves' Landing
Liar's Dice is a fun game played between 2-4 opponents, and as its name
suggests, it's a dice game. Each person starts with five dice, and the object
is to be the last person with dice remaining.
Each round starts by one shaking the dice and seeing the values of them. The
betting then begins. Each person must give a bet, which has to increase in
number or value, about the table's cumulative dice values. For instance, if
one person bets that there's "one 1" out of everyone, the next person has
to bet at least "two 1s" or increase the dice values.
If a bet is made and someone thinks it's a bluff, he can be called out on it
and the table's dice are revealed. If it's proven a bet was false, the person
who lied loses one of his dice; if it's proven right, the accusor loses a
die. An example: someone bets there's two 5s on the table, and is called out.
In actuality, there is five 5s between the players. Since there's at least
two, the accusor would lose the die. [Similarly, one can call a bet spot-on
if s/he thinks the exact number of dice is available, forcing the last person
who bet to lose a die.]
The trick to winning is telling the truth, then, or making adjusted claims
based off one's own dice. Let's say the player has values of (1,2,3,4,5) for
the round. An educated bet would be to say there's at least two of a number
available, since the player has at least one and it's quite likely another
player does too. These kinds of sly bets often work in the player's favor, or
force opponents to bluff and be called out. It gets a bit harder as the
foes' dice dwindle, however, although operating under the assumption that
one's bet is partially true helps -- i.e. if someone bets they have two 6s,
they have at least one 6 to speak of. [This isn't always true, however, but
it seems to be done by certain people, so after a few games one should know
their habits.]

NIGHTWATCH
____________________
��������������������
Unlock: Armadillo, Blackwater, Chuparosa, MacFarlane's Ranch
Reward: Cash, 5 Fame, 50 Honor (per each criminal captured safely)
Nightwatch jobs are paid assignments in certain civilized areas where John
patrols the place (during night, of course) and puts a stop to any criminal
activity going on. The more events that take place, and the more people that
are caught instead of slain, the more cash John gets paid. The delinquency is
usually confined to horse theft, fistfights, and attempted burglaries. Using
the lasso is the safe way to solve any problems, although shooting someone in
the leg puts the kibosh on any would-be escapees.

��������������������
POKER
____________________
��������������������
Available: Armadillo, Blackwater, Casa Madrugada, Chuparosa, MacFarlane's
Ranch, Thieves' Landing
Poker in RDR is "Texas Hold 'Em" style, which has its own set of rules from
normal poker. Basically, each person is dealt three cards at the start of
each round, and three cards ("river cards") are put in the center face-down.
Betting begins before the river cards are flipped, with forced bets -- the
big blind and little blind -- given from two people based off the dealer's
position. [Additional betting can be done, too.]
The object is to have use one's own cards and the river cards to make the
best possible hand, winning the pot (accumulated bets) for oneself. Assuming
one knows what a standard deck of cards is -- if y'don't, go look it up --
there is an ascendancy to hands, i.e. one hand is better than another. From
best to worst, here is the order:
Royal Flush ---: A-K-Q-J-10 of the same suit
Straight Flush : Five sequential cards of same suit
Four of a Kind : Four matching cards (i.e. four Kings)
Full House ----: Three of a Kind + a Pair
Flush ---------: Five cards of same suit
Straight ------: Five sequential cards of any suit
Three of a Kind: Three matching cards (i.e. three Kings)
Two Pair ------: Two pairs of two matching cards
One Pair ------: Two matching cards
High Card -----: Player's highest card is their default hand
Basically, the hardest hand (royal flush) is unbeatable, while having no
specific hand uses the person's highest card. Being dealt a pair off the bat
is one of the best hands to obtain, thus.
As for betting, besides the big/small blind forced bets to keep a pot on the
table, a player can bet "all in," in which they put their entire stack of
chips into their hand. This is a common bluff for people who don't know how
to play poker -- and even those that do! -- but it can easily backfire if
an opponent has an actual hand of worth. Either way, going all-in is a good
way to force people with few chips to bet it all, or to force people to fold
if they don't want to risk anything. [Players who check, which means to not
raise the current bet, can often be made to fold by going all-in.]
If someone is forced to go all-in to play, and their chips are fewer than the
person who went all-in, a "split pot" occurs. A split pot also occurs when
two people win the pot with the same hand (like both having nothing but the
same high card), which cuts the pot in half. I suppose it could be split
between three people, too, but it's never happened to me.
NOTE: To unlock the special high-stakes poker game in Blackwater, obtain the
special Gentleman's Attire costume by joining Rockstar's Social Club.

MULTIPLAYER CHALLENGES [MLTP]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Challenges in multiplayer are feats of excellence that reward the player with
experience (XP or EXP) and unlockable titles. They're categorized between
free roam and competitive play, the latter being staged battles with many
people. The tables should be self-explanitory, but here's what the superscript
numbers mean:
� - Must be accomplished in same session
� - Must be done with throwing/melee weapons only
� - Requirements must be done without dying
______________________
|����������������������|
| FREE ROAM CHALLENGES |-------------------------------------------------------
|______________________|
����������������������
These types of challenges, done in free roam of course, can be performed by
oneself or in a posse. Some missions are definitely easier with allies, too.

Lawbringer tasks are all about completing the hideouts, and some require a
couple tweaks, like beating them in a certain time period or with throwing
weapons. These aren't that hard to do by oneself (provided the player knows
the game's ins and outs, employs patience, etc.) but some of the more
annoying ones -- like Lawbringer III's tasks -- should definitely be done
with a large posse. [One can usually kill an enemy and go hide somewhere,
letting allies do the work, and still get the thing to unlock.]

| 05 | Kill Brumas the legendary bear | 250 | Master Hunter |
|____|_______________________________________|_____|_________________________|
Expectedly, these challenges are all about killing wildlife. Ones requiring
knife kills can be a little vexing, though, as cougar/bear attacks have been
turned into OHKOs for multiplayer. Still, stabbing an animal in the face is
usually good enough to score a kill. Remember that one can dodge-roll by
pressing a direction and x-button while L-trigger's held down.
As for the legendary animals, Lobo appears near Barranca (Mexico), Gordo at
Greenhollow (along San Luis River), Khan at Tanner's Reach (Tall Trees) and
Brumas at Bearclaw Camp (Tall Trees also). Legendary animals only appear when
Marston goes to the certain area and kills apx. 10 of its generic allies.
If Marston dies by a legendary animal, he's removed from the area and must do
the process all over again. [Legendaries also have higher health, speed, and
damage output, usually.]

The beginning outlaw missions are rather simple in design, with the Bounty &
Public Enemy ones being those requiring most patience and persistence. [The
survival one is a cinch, really.] One becomes a public enemy by gaining a
$1000 bounty, for reference. It makes sense to hole up in a place where it's
possible to kill attackers easily, such as El Presidio, the Blackwater hotel,
Armadillo rooftops, etc. Doing these with a posse can be a great help, too.

Public Enemy challenges are usually high-risk events, especially ones that
require killstreaks. Typical methods of killing public enemies are sniping
them from long range, throwing dynamite into where they're holed up, etc. --
it annoys the crap out of 'em! Also, as far as "Outlaw Gang" challenges go,
a gang is classified as two or more people, so a duo works best for doing
those ones "quickly".

|____|_______________________________________|_____|_________________________|
Sharpshooter challenges are typically fun, with at one requiring Marston to
be riding shotgun with someone (a horse doesn't count as a moving vehicle).
For reference, a "hatshot" is shooting someone's hat off and a "disarm" is
knocking a gun out of someone's hand, both without killing the target. The
sniper rifle is pretty good for these challenges, as it's deadly accurate and
aiming high often causes a hatshot anyway (use Carcano for best effect). The
"kill three animal types in 10 seconds of each other" might not be as hard as
it sounds, either -- try going to a species-diverse place like Bearclaw Camp
(where I got mine) or using cows, pigs, horses, inert birds, etc. as unwitting
subjects too.

Once the player knows the plants are indigenous to -- and if y'don't, see
the Ambient Challenges section -- these aren't that hard. Note that the
challenges don't count herbs already picked when they unlock, so each one
requires finding "fresh" ones. The most annoying of the batch is definitely
the final one of Survivalist II, which requires finding 10 Violet Snowdrops
plus two of all the previous ones...ugh.

| WEAPON-RELATED CHALLENGES |--------------------------------------------------

���������������������������
These challenges are accomplished in bag games and shootouts. Asterisked (*)
items in this section reward the player with gold-plated weapons -- usable
only in this competitive setting mind you -- that give increased XP gains
when kills are scored.
There's basically two types of challenges for weapons:
1) "KILLER" -> Score 25 > 50 kills to earn 50 > 100 XP
2) "HEADSHOTS" -> Score 25 > 50 > 100 headshots to earn 100 > 200 > 250 XP
Here's a list of 'em. Note that completing the challenge that requires mere
kills unlocks the title of that challenge (i.e. "LeMat Muerte") while doing
the headshots one unlocks the gold-plated version of the corresponding weapon.

These challenges are done in certain multiplayer modes (Gold Rush, Gang
Shootout, Shootout, Hold Your Own, Grab the Bag) and only there. Many of the
challenges, such as Bag Pick Ups, appear in different modes and are done
repeatedly thus. The section may be a little sloppy-looking considering how
much info there is to organize neatly, but hopefully it ain't THAT bad, heh.
[Still not sure on some of the titles, but I believe these are right. Send in
error corrections if you see any! I haven't gotten all of these just yet.]

Advanced Missions -- by finishing all 6 missions normally -- unlocks the rest.
Unlike other challenges, there's no titles to unlock.

These are all miscellaneous challenges with three ranks (50, 100, 150 XP).
Completing them unlocks a special title. Note that the stats one accumulates
are cumulative for unlocking the next rank. Basically, if you roll 50 times
for "High Roller," you only have to roll 50 more times, not 100, to reach the
final rank.
Note that for trampling someone, simply run at them and make them dodge-jump
out of the way or kill them in the process. Dead bodies can't be used to
boost the challenge. [Note that for stagecoach challenges, wagons and cart
miles/tramples also count.]

MULTIPLAYER UNLOCKABLES [MLTI]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Just an overview of what's unlocked on a per-level basis. Any new player
begins at Lv01, for reference. When one reaches max level, it's possible to
"prestige" and restart from lowest level, re-earning weapons and such again
and get steeds earlier than normal, plus new ones. Prestiges are denoted in
the table by superscript numbers (���) with an asterisk (*) denoting the 4th
and last prestige.
For example, looking at Lv11, it says [Cleveland Bay�] which means the Bay is
always unlocked at that level, so long it's at the minimum first prestige. As
no other mounts are said to unlock at that level, one knows the Cleveland Bay
will always be found at Lv11 from the first prestige on. Another example is
Lv50, which has five unlockable mounts. A new mount unlocks each time that's
reached, as the notation says.

OUTFITS [OTFT]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
John can change his costume by either (1) getting certain DLC (2) purchasing
a suit at a tailor (3) doing certain requirements to earn uniform scraps, and
getting the garb when they're all collected. Each bullet (�) represents a
scrap that has to be found or earned.
COWBOY OUTFIT
�������������
� Unlocked by default
ELEGANT SUIT
������������
� Purchase at Thieves' Landing tailor [$70]
BOLLARD TWINS OUTFIT
��������������������
Unlock: Kill a Bollard Twins gang member
� Search Thieves' Landing [scrap is hidden in warehouse chest]
� Complete a Nightwatch job at MacFarlane's Ranch
� Win a game of Horseshoes at MacFarlane's Ranch
� Capture a Bollard Twins bounty alive
� Defend Hennigan's Stead residents from Bollard Twins members
� Purchase at Thieves' Landing tailor [when other objectives met]
Wearing this outfit makes Bollard Twings gangmembers "friendly" to Marston.
Shouldn't be too hard to get, as long as one's good at horseshoes. Note that
the "defend Hennigan's Stead residents" portion is a random event, such as
protecting a wagon being ambushed.
TREASURE HUNTER OUTFIT
����������������������
Unlock: Kill a Treasure Hunter gang member
� Search Silent Stead
� Complete the "California?" stranger's task
� Make a profit at Rathskeller Fork's blackjack table
� Claim a Treasure Hunter bounty alive
� Complete Gaptooth Breach hideout
� Purchase at Thieves' Landing tailor [when other objectives met]
Wearing this outfit makes Treasure Hunters members "friendly" to Marston.
This is one of the easier ones to get, with the blackjack feat being the only
one of any difficulty. The trick is to get an early win and quit, rather than
prolonged playing that makes profiting harder. [If you finish with more chips
than you started (200), that's a "win" here.]
BANDITO OUTFIT
��������������
Unlock: Kill a Bandito gang member
� Search Sidewinder Gulch [scrap is inside a tent's chest]
� Complete a Chuparosa Nightwatch job
� Win at Liar's Dice in Casa Madrugada
� Defend residents of Mexico from Bandito attacks
� Purchase at Chuparosa general store [when other objectives met]
Wearing this outfit makes Mexican banditos "friendly" to Marston. The "defend
Mexican residents" event is random and usually involves saving someone being
accosted by robbers -- since it involves the entire country, not just one
little area, it's easier to get than the others, typically.
REYES' REBELS OUTFIT
��������������������
Unlock: Complete "The Appointed Time" mission
� Search Sepulcro [chest along graveyard's peripheral wall]
� Complete "Poppycock" stranger's task
� Complete Horsebreaking job in Chuparosa
� Complete "Love is the Opiate" stranger's task
� Win at Five Finger Fillet in Torquemada
� Purchase at Escalera general store [when other objectives met]
When worn, Rebeldes members are "friendly" to Marston, and Mexican coppers
won't give chase. For the Five Finger Fillet portion, winning it counts as
beating all opponents, not just one.
MEXICAN PONCHO
��������������
Unlock: Purchase a Mexican safehouse
Another easy one, although some people have commented that it didn't unlock
when they bought a house. Getting the villa in Escalera seems to work for
this purpose, however.
US MARSHAL UNIFORM
������������������
Unlock: Complete "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed" mission
� Clear all US gang hideouts in 24 hours
Completing all the gang hideouts (Fort Mercer, Twin Rocks, Gaptooth Breach,
Tumbleweed, Pike's Basin) shouldn't be that hard. Note that the twenty-four
hour limit is based on IN-GAME time, which is roughly 70-75 minutes. Divided
by five that leaves about 14 minutes to do 'em all in...of course, some are
easier than others. [Uniform special effect: US lawmen will not give pursuit.]
BUREAU UNIFORM
��������������
Unlock: Reach 100% single-player completion
Reaching total completion is ridiculously annoying as it is, but failing even
one miniscule aspect of the criteria (like failing to get some other outfit)
screws this up. Oy vey. Wearing this outfit gives John some immunity from
the wrath of law enforcement officers: bounty won't increase and local cops
(of any kind, even in Mexico) won't give pursuit.
US ARMY OUTFIT
��������������
Unlock: Complete "The Appointed Time" mission
� Search Aurora Basin [chest is in cabin]
� Win at arm-wrestling in Pacific Union Railroad Camp
� Win a game of poker in Blackwater
� Complete "Lights, Camera, Action" stranger's task
� Complete a Blackwater nightwatch job
� Purchase at Blackwater's tailor [after other objectives met]
RANCHER'S CLOTHING
������������������
Unlock: Begin "The Outlaw's Return" mission
Very simple to do since the mission's mandatory. No explanation needed.
GENTLEMAN'S ATTIRE
������������������
Unlock: Join the Rockstar Social Club
Joining the social club is rather easy and requires an email and password;
this links the user's XBL account and, when loading campaign, unlocks the
outfit. Some people have experienced glitchiness with this, like being unable
to get the outfit w/o reloading, or not getting it altogether. [Outfit special
effect: can play high-stakes poker in Armadillo.]
DUSTER COAT
�����������
Unlock: Reach Peacemaker rank in Honor (50% Positive)
Pretty hard not to get this, since many missions, side-missions, stranger's
tasks, and random events can contribute towards it. It's quite possible to
get it before finishing the New Austin events, actually. Too bad it's only
aesthetically pleasing and has no special effect or skill.
LEGEND OF THE WEST
������������������
Unlock: Complete all (4) Ambient Challenges
Ambient Challenges are things like becoming a master hunter, survivalist,
and so fort. Basically, one has to reach the final (Lv10) rank in 'em all to
get this.
WALTON'S GANG OUTFIT
��������������������
Unlock: Kill a Walton's Gang member
� Search Solomon's Folly [chest in old house's cellar]
� Complete a horsebreaking job at Ridgewood Farm
� Win at poker in Armadillo
� Capture a Walton's Gang bounty alive
� Defend residents of Cholla Springs from Walton's Gang
� Purchase suit at Thieves' Landing tailor [when other objectives met]
When wearing this outfit, Walton's Gang members are "friendly" to Marston.
Like the other "defend citizens of 'x' area" jobs, it's random and usually
in the form of a wagoner being accosted by bandits of some sort.
DEADLY ASSASSIN
���������������
Unlock: Redeem Deadly Assassin outfit code
� Search Loot's Chapel
� Complete the Twin Rocks hideout
� Claim the Moe van Barr bounty (does not need to be alive)
� Win a duel in Armadillo
� Complete "American Appetites" stranger's task
This outfit is "unlocked" initially by preordering the game through GameStop
and redeeming the code obtained. The other objectives are quite normal. Note
that if y'don't want to wait for a duel challenger, getting caught cheating
at poker initiates a duel with whoever did the catching. [Outfit Special
Effect: Dead Eye replenishes at double normal rate.]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
RANDOM EVENTS [RNDM]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
In order to spice up the drudgery of a mission-to-mission life, the game's
got a lot of random events that Marston can participate in. These appear as
blue dots in his vicinity -- sometimes they start when he approaches, others
when he follows the stranger a ways. This probably won't be a complete list
unless readers send in stuff as well, so by all means!
� ASSAULTED LADY: This happens in civilized towns. A woman will be pinned
down by some drunkard/bastard and is about to be knifed for some wrongdoing.
Marston can save the lady by defeating the rogue; if he gets there too late
she dies. [Hogtying the assailant may be preferable since even a shot to
his behind can be laughably fatal. Maybe he's a hemophiliac? Haha.] Reward:
100 Honor, 5 Fame, apx $5.
� ASSAULTED WAGON: A man is about to be executed by bandits, but hopefully
John stepping in will change that. This event is notable as the only way
to start the Treasure Hunter ambient challenge -- the map is uncovered from
the chest left behind at the scene (owner dead or alive). [+50 Fame]
� ATTACKING ANIMALS: A gang of animals, often coyotes, cougars, or wolves,
can be seen chasing a victim through the region. Marston can slay the
predators to help the person, or let nature run its course. [~6$, 5 Fame]
� BANDIT CAMP: Two bandits will have set up camp somewhere and open fire on
Marston as he approaches. This happens with or without provocation...guess
they had some hot merchandise!
� BANDIT POSSE: When in a civilized area, a group of 4 riders may come in and
start shooting the place up. Slaying them gives a fame bonus, but it's quite
easy to catch innocents in the crossfire, so identify targets carefully!
� BATHROOM BREAK: A (male) rider will dismount from his steed and take a whiz
on a nearby rock. If Marston approaches, he'll stop and ask for privacy (!)
It's highly doubtful there's a female version...
� BROKEN WAGON: A lady wants Marston to help bring her into (the nearest)
town, and he can agree to do the escort mission -- she rides on his horse
or in his stagecoach. En route to the next town, there'll be a bandit
attack.
� CAMPFIRE STORIES: One of the few nonthreatening events, a group of cowboys
will be sitting around the fire and invite Marston to take a seat. If done,
he can listen to some gossip. A bit of fun without any risk of a violent
end, basically. [Naturally this event usually happens at dusk/night.]
� CANNIBAL'S FEAST: A cannibal and his hogtied hostage are near a campfire,
and the cannibal asks Marston to have a seat -- only when approached, the
guy opens fire! Once dead, Marston can save the hostage for a reward, plus
loot the treasure chest that spawns nearby. [apx $5, 20 Fame]
� COUGAR ATTACK: A man will be pursuing a cougar and Marston can help out.
This isn't an official "job" like some of the others, but fits into the
random event category anyway. [And since it can attack the player without
warning or provocation, perhaps killing the horse, it's of some use
mentioning.]
� DUEL CHALLENGER: This occurs in a civilized town. Basically, a guy just
standing around will challenge Marston to a quickdraw showdown. Obviously
it's do-or-die for the player! Killing the enemy is always an option but
like any duel, disarming the opponent and letting him flee gives a higher
Fame [+200] bonus.
� DYNAMITE DELIVERY: Two men have a cart full of TNT and want Marston to
deliver the stuff to the nearest town's weapon shop. If accepted, enemies
attack en route and uneven terrain makes the dynamite more likely to go
kaboom!
� DYNAMITE MAKERS: Two men have set up a camp out in an expanse and start
making TNT. One guy comments to another that one spark can set off the
whole batch and, sure enough, it does, killing both of them and destroying
the camp. [+20 Fame -- scaring them off beforehand can save their lives!]
� ESCAPED PRISONERS: A lawman's wagon broke and the two prisoners inside have
managed to get loose. Having hurt his leg, he can't recapture 'em himself
so Marston can help out. The objective is to kill or hogtie the prisoners
and bring them back to the lawman's location. Note, however, that the event
fails if a prisoner escapes, so it's best to hogtie one and then go get
the other before he's out of range. [Laughably, the lawman executes the
prisoners instead of bringing them to justice, and limps on home...what a
maroon!][Gives +50 Honor/Fame]
� FIRING SQUAD: Sometimes in Mexico Marston may see a man about to be executed
by the federales. One receives honor for helping him, so it's likely he was
innocent in the first place.
� FLEEING FUGITIVE: Two lawmen and an outlaw, all on foot, race through the
wilderness. Marston can step in to help the lawmen, or let the criminal
escape by slaying the do-gooders. [Best outcome: 100 Honor, 50 Fame]
� GRIZZLY CHASE: Out in the wilderness, a man will be pursuing a grizzly.
This isn't a true "job" but Marston can help hunt the beast down or let the
other guy take care of it.
� HORSE RUSTLER: A stranger runs up and informs Marston his horse has just
been stolen, and the culprit is nearby. Pursue the thief, kill/hogtie him,
and deliver the horse back to the rightful owner for a meager reward.
� HORSE THIEF: A man asks if he can have a ride into town, but when Marston
approaches, the stranger throws him down and gallops off. A player who
sees this coming can preemptively kill the guy without honor loss, or
dismount before approaching to make sure the event is what it is (the man
should ignore Marston and go for the horse in this case). [~$25, 20 Fame]
Whistling for one's own horse bucks the rustler off, also. [-50 Honor if
killed during/after event, for some reason.]
� HUNTER'S CHALLENGE: Out in the wilds, Marston may find a hunter who wants
some help collecting certain animals. If John agrees, he's given some Bait
and upon using it, the trapper's animals show up. Skin 'em and and bring
the pelts back.
� KIDNAPPER: Audaciously, a man will be running away from town with a hogtied
woman on his shoulder. Killing the man and setting the girl free finishes
this mini-event quite quickly. [This can probably happen anywhere but it's
always been Armadillo or Thieves' Landing in my experience.]
� LYNCHING: A man runs/rides up to Marston and says his wife/buddy is about
to be hanged by some strangers. Riding along will find the person's lynching
in progress. It's possible to kill the attackers before they kick the
chair out from under the innocent person, but if one arrives too late, the
only option to saving the person is shooting the rope. Just make sure to
kill the attackers while riding up or things'll probably turn out badly.
[a little cash, +50 Fame]
� MEXICAN TWO-MAN CREW: In towns south of the border, usually Chuparosa, a
man will ask to talk with Marston in a corner, if John wants to make money.
Upon hearing about the potential robbery, Marston can deal with the crook
or assist. John's role will then be to steal a supply cart and lead local
lawmen on a wild goose chase; when they're ditched, return to the crook.
He'll sell the wagon's supplies in town and give Marston a cut.
� MISSING WAGON: Accept this job after a woman approaches about the titular
dilemma. A notification that vultures are a harbinger of disaster, and that
following them to the wagon is a good way to proceed. [The wagon usually
comes from the north; check the journal for any other indicators.] Search
the local roads -- without the map's help, mind you -- and kill the bandits
at the site. Then, drive the wagon back to the woman for the reward.
� NUN'S DILEMMA: When near a civilized area, a nun may appear and say the
Spanish stole the convent's money -- donation time! Marston can give them
some cash, usually about $50 dollars, for their cause. Whether this is a
required event in order to get the "Obscuridad del Santo Andres" trinket
upon reaching max honor is unknown, but it can't hurt to assist the ladies.
� OUTLAW DELIVERY: A lawman asks Marston to take a hogtied fugitive into town
for detainment. If John agrees, he has to head for the nearest town and, of
course, fend the prisoner off from bandits. Note that hogtied "cargo" can
be killed by shooting bandits when fleeing, so the player has to make a
decision as to advancing or attacking.
� PELT TRADESMAN: A man out on the plains has set up a tent and displays his
pelts, and petitions Marston to help him out: skin some animals and bring
'em back for a handsome cut.
� SCROUNGER: A man on horseback finds a dead body and loots it for valuables
before leaving. Killing the scavenger doesn't give honor decrements, and
the first body can be searched for money regardless.
� SHOOTIST'S CHALLENGE: Out in the wilderness, occasionally Marston stumbles
upon a friendly man who challenges Marston to shooting birds for a small
wager. These can often be won easily with Dead Eye, but intentionally losing
doubles the pot each time -- basically this is a quick way to earn cash.
� STAGECOACH AMBUSH: A woman calls Marston over to her stagecoach and wants
some assistance; however, there are (~4) bandits hiding out of view and
they'll ambush the hapless samaritan as he approaches. Killing the lady
doesn't seem to give any honor decrements, unless she begs for her life
and offers up an excuse as to her involvement.
� STAGECOACH ROBBERY: While on the road, a moving stagecoach is accosted by
four horseman, and Marston can either assist or kill the driver. Doing a
good deed gives +10 Honor.
� STOLEN WAGON: A man rushes over to say his wagon's been swiped, and that
he'd like Marston's assistance in capturing the thief, who's usually right
nearby as it happens. Help a brotha out. [$ Reward, 10 Fame]
� STORE ROBBERY: Occasionally a shopkeeper will run out of his store and beg
Marston to apprehend the thief (who's always nearby). Upon doing so, John
can keep the money for himself or return it. When this event happens in
Armadillo, the shopkeep runs out yelling "I'm Herbert Moon!" -- it's become
quite an internet sensation.
� SUICIDE IS THE ANSWER: A random person will be found crying next to a body,
and the person commits suicide if left alone. Marston can't intervene much
in this event, so all that's left is to loot the bodies afterward.
� SURVIVALIST'S CHALLENGE: Someone out in the wilderness asks Marston to
help pick herbs. John then has to find the 2 of the herb and rush back to
camp before the opponent.

SHOP LIST [SHPL]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Here's a per-town list of shops and what they offer. Kinda self-explanitory
for the most part. A few notes:
� Besides a few crappy horse deeds available from the start, most deeds are
only available for purchase when Marston breaks in the corresponding steed
out in the wild. For instance, one can't buy the fast American Standardbred
early because it only appears in the last region.
� The regional maps purchased in towns permanently display hideouts, towns,
and things of that nature -- but only if used from the inventory (they're
expendable). Using them counts toward the "On the Trail of de Vaca"
achievement.
� The Buffalo Rifle becomes available for purchase when Marston hits Lv5 in

STRANGER'S TASKS [STRN]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Stranger's Tasks are optional missions given by normal folk, and are denoted
on the map with a "?" icon or a purple circle (to denote a specific region).
Failing a task makes it respawn a few days later, which is good because they
can fail easily by attempting to thwart the scripted events -- for example,
if one has to have a duel, and John tries to snipe him from afar, it fails
automatically.
All STs can be done after completing "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed"
except "I Know You," which makes sense. "I Know You" is also the only ST that
doesn't count towards overall completion. Here's a list of the tasks that can
be found and how to complete 'em.
NOTE: If a quest is marked "inactive," that means it's still ongoing but time
needs to pass before the next step arrives. This usually has to do with
the person(s) involved moving to new locations.
NOTE: Sometimes, particularly if the quests are put off to the game's end,
they won't appear easily on the map. It may be required to search the
hills to find the "?" icon.
AMERICAN APPETITES
������������������
Unlock: Clear "Political Realities in Armadillo"
Locale: Cholla Springs/Hanging Rock region
Reward: 50 Fame
A multi-step one to do. There's usually a few days to wait in-between each
pair of steps, however -- the game represents this as "check back with the
sheriff's station in the future."
1) Speak with woman near the sheriff's station
2) Search Hanging Rock hills for bloodstain
3) Talk with man near the sheriff's station
4) Search Hanging Rock hills for bloodstain
5) Talk with lady inside sheriff's station
6) Search Hanging Rock hills
During this third excursion, locate the injured man and find someone escaping
from the scene. Hogtie the man fleeing the area, return him to the crime
scene, and see how the events go. Finish the task by either killing the evil
cannibal or letting him dine on sweet, sweet manflesh.
AMERICAN LOBBYIST
�����������������
Unlock: Clear "An Appointed Time"
Locale: Blackwater [near police station]
Reward: apx. $23
Talking to the lobbyist reveals he wants to silence a man badmouthing the
governor Nate Johns. He's prepared to blackmail the guy, and gives John the
incriminating photos ("Blackmail Photographs" item) to deliver. Luckily, the
guy happens to work next-door at the bank...it just must be open for business
to proceed. Once the blabbermouth flip-flops to Johns' favor, return to the
client to get real paid.
AZTEC GOLD
����������
Locale: Sidewinder Gulch
Reward: apx. $75, 50 Fame
A man is out searching for his great-great-grandfather's heirloom which is
hidden somewhere in Neuva Paraiso, and he enlists John Marston's help (the
"Basilio's Map" item is obtained). Basically, it's exactly like the Treasure
Hunter ambient challenge except shorter. The treasure locations are as
follows, although they appear as purple circles on the map, making things a
lot easier.
1) Sidewinder Gulch: actually just up the path from where Basilio was met.
Look for a thin, higher path doubling back on the declining one and find
a rockpile containing apx. $23 and another Basilio's Map.
2) Primera Quebrada: Inside the broken dwelling's foundation. Don't mistake
the rockpile for the chest, though! [$25
3) Alta Cabeza: This is the area west of El Matadero. Search near the NWmost
mesa to find the rockpile at base, near the sagebrush.
Each of the first three treasures contains about $25 and another Basilio's
Map. Meet with Basilio in El Matadero for the fourth one, which involves
searching the caves (seen in Landon Ricketts' second mission) for the final
motherlode. Locate Basilio to find what his search has wrought, ending the
mission at last.
CALIFORNIA
����������
Locale: Gaptooth Breach area (southeastern prairie usually)
Reward: apx $23, Letter from Sam, 50 Fame
This is another multi-step mission. The stranger here (Sam Odessa) doesn't
appear on the map until encountered in the Gaptooth Breach area, usually
between the mining area and The Scratching Post riverbank region. Once found,
his stranger icon starts appearing on the map. [Wait a few days between the
steps.]
1) During the first encounter, he'll be playing his harmonica out in the
wilderness. Marston advises him to find a coach before he runs afoul with
a local gang, to which Sam thanks him and leaves.
2) Cueva Seca, north of Gaptooth Breach.
3) The long north-south canyon just east of Tumbleweed
4) South of Tumbleweed
During the last encounter, give Sam a once-over and obtain "Letter from Sam,"
to be mailed back in Armadillo. Doing so finally ends the mission.
Like "Love is the Opiate," sometimes Sam's icon doesn't appear on the map
when it should. And, also like that mission, saving and reloading that save
may clear up the issue without much fuss, even foregoing the need to wait
days for him to appear.
DEADALUS AND SON
����������������
Unlock: Clear "We Shall Be Together in Paradise"
Locale: Mesa rim between Agave Viejo and Casa Madrugada
Reward: $26, 50 Fame
An aviation pioneer is planning to test his glider for the first time, but
needs a hand concocting a special sealant. He wants John to fetch 20 feathers
(any kind), 5 beaver pelts, and 10 Red Sage. These items can be found most
commonly:
- Red Sage: Rio Bravo area (use Survivalist Map to make it a lot easier)
- Beavers : Around rivers and streams; north of Montana Ford is a good place
- Feathers: Birds are everywhere and usually drop 3-4 from each kill
Beavers will be the hardest animal to find, as they typically appear near
water sources. Just be mindful they'll disintegrate if killed with too big
a gun, leaving nothing behind to skin!
Remember that any of the materials already obtained count towards the goal,
so that can help ease the burden, especially where beavers are concerned.
When all materials are obtained, hand 'em over to Charles Kinnear and wait a
few days to see just how majestic his first flight is. [+50 Fame]
EVA IN PERIL
������������
Locale: Casa Madrugada
Reward: 55 Fame, $206 (about $6 profit)
Pretty easy one to do. Behind the apartment complex, a man abuses his lover,
and says he'll quit if Marston gives him $200 American. Doing just that will
finish the mission. A few days later, visit a nun at Las Hermanas -- the
convent alongside the train tracks -- to find out Eva went with Mario to El
Sepulcro. Visit the macabre place to learn of events passed, which culminate
in a duel with the yellowbelly himself. [He can't be disarmed, only killed.]
Loot the corpse to reearn the previous cash, too.
FLOWERS FOR A LADY
������������������
Locale: Stillwater Creek (near Thieves' Landing)
Reward: 50 Fame
Talk with the geezer to learn he's picking flowers for his wife. Marston and
his big heart offer to help, finding three Wild Feverfew, Red Sage, and Desert
Sage.
- Feverfew: Cholla Springs (try around MacFarlane's Ranch for easiest finds)
- Red Sage: Rio Bravo area (look near Plainview)
- Desert S: Cholla Springs (Armadillo prairies work)
When all are collected, return to the man and meet Annabel.
FUNNY MAN
���������
Locale: Various
Reward: 50 Fame
Jimmy Saint, a man renowned for his ascerbic wit and jokes, has come to
the frontier to write articles. John will occasionally find him in a pickle
to which he'll have to free the guy. His apperance locations are as follows,
although John may have to wait a while before the guy shows up at the next
location.
1) Benedict Point [New Austin]
2) Gaptooth Breach [New Austin]
3) Pike's Basin [New Austin]
4) Tesoro Azul [Nueva Paraiso]
Be careful in the Gaptooth mines as Jimmy's hogtied right by some a dynamite
canister, and it'll kill him if detonated. Note that he may also be killed if
freed when enemies are around.
I KNOW YOU
����������
Locale: Cliff SW of MacFarlane's Ranch (overlooks Greenhollow & river)
Reward: ---
This three-part mission can only be done before "The Last Thing That Shall Be
Destroyed" mission; it ain't available in post-game play. Anyway, there's
three steps to be done. If a player does this when the last region is open,
there's no time to wait in-between steps!
1) This step takes place in New Austin. The "Strange Man" asks John to help
out his dear friend in Thieves' Landing, a drunkard who may about to cheat
on his wife. Visit the saloon and either discourage the man (-15$) or
dissuade him from adultery. Honor is -20 if John encourages the infidelity.
2) The next step is available when Nueva Paraiso opens, after clearing "We
Shall Be Together in Paradise". Strange Man appears near a mesa south of
El Matadero, this time telling John about a nun traveling from Las Hermanas
to the Chuparosa Bank, to deposit money she's saved up. Attempting to rob
the nun seems to not give any cash or complete this step, so donate to her
cause (-$10) to take the moral high road. Also, harming the nun in any way
gives an automatic failure.
3) Finally, the stranger appears on a hilltop overlooking Beecher's Hope, in
West Elizabeth. There's no more quests, just a scene.
So who is the Strange Man? Some theorize he's God, Satan, a figment of John's
conscience... Or maybe he's just the best dang CPA who ever walked the earth?
JENNY'S FAITH
�������������
Locale: East of Ridgewood Farm [New Austin]
Reward: 50 Fame
Jenny, the girl from the passenger train, is out in the desert. When John
speaks with her, it's abundantly clear she needs some medicine or she'll die.
If John has Medicine already [from "This is Armadillo, USA"] he can simply
give it to her and end the mission; if not, he'll have to buy some more at
the local doctor's office and return. Either way, Jenny stays out in the
desert. Perhaps the vultures flying overhead know what's about to come...
LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER
����������������������
Locale: Building near Coot's Chapel [New Austin]
Reward: ---
Talk to the old lady looking for her errant husband, learning he's probably
at the Armadillo Saloon. Go there to find a musician who won't spill the beans
on Peter's location without a little favor in return. John can pick between
two favors: (1) giving him five dollars (2) retrieving the man's wife, who's
at the stagecoach station, waiting to leave him. Note that retrieving his wife
is done via hogtying, so if that hasn't been unlocked yet (in "Wild Horses,
Tamed Passions") pick the former.
Once the music man coughs up his info, Pete's learned to be at Odd Fellow's
Rest, located on the road to Ridgewood Farm. Visit there to find the man,
ending the task.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION
����������������������
Locale: Armadillo, Thieves' Landing, Pacific Union Railroad Camp
Reward: apx. $23, 100 Fame, 20 Honor
This quest starts at the movie house in Armadillo. Talk to Raul Julia...err,
"the director" to learn he wants to shoot some scenes in a certain location
but lacks the owner's (Coke Buckley) approval. He wants Marston to go get the
man's deed, by preying on his gambling addiction, i.e. winning it in Liar's
Dice over at Thieves' Landing. It costs $200 to play, and once it's won,
the journal updates.
Secondly, it was mentioned the director's employee Spatchcock, a.k.a. the
movie industry's best wannabe cowboy, thinks he's an actual gunslinger, and
was waiting for challengers at Benedict Point. Go there and duel him, making
sure to disarm him instead of killing him -- this sends him cryin' back home
to mommy in Armadillo. [+50 Fame] Return there and give the deed to MacKenna
to finish up the New Austin section and get the reward.
The final step is visiting MacKenna when he relocates to West Elizabeth's
railroad camp. This requires beating the final Mexico mission "An Appointed
Time," of course. If it's already open, it takes almost a week for the old
chap to show up at his designated spot. [+20 Honor, 50 Fame]
LOVE IS THE OPIATE
������������������
Unlock: "Poppycock" stranger's task
Locale: El Matadero
Reward: 100 Honor, 50 Fame
This is a two-step mission:
1) Talk with Zhou to learn of his plight, about how he's indentured to the
town butcher. A bargain is struck, where if Marston finds a white stallion
for the man, he'll let Zhou go free. A "white stallion" is of course the
Hungarian Half-Bred horse, which runs wild around the Diez Coronas region.
[It's pure white with a dirty face, for reference.] Break the sucker and
give it to the bossman to finish the step. NOTE: If one's already caught
a HHB and can summon it with a deed, that works also.
2) Many days later, talk with Zhou at the Chuparosa train station to finish.
NOTE: Sometimes the player can't get Zhou to show up for the final step, no
matter how much one waits. Try making the game autosave (changing any
options does the trick), then reloading that autosave -- the purple
circle in Chuparosa should then appear...hopefully.
POPPYCOCK
���������
Locale: Chuparosa
Reward: 50 Fame; or $1000 and -100 Honor
At the police station, talk with the strange Englishman to get a proposition:
get Uriah Tollets' package in Nosalida and deliver it to the foreman at El
Matadero. Nosalida is, of course, a rebel gang hideout, but even so, Marston
can slip in and get the "Nosalida Package" from the dock box without too much
incident. Once delivered to the foreman, Marston's paid a whopping $1000! But
once Marston returns to Mr. Tollets, and learns just what he helped deliver,
he can choose to keep that 1K all to himself (by killing Uriah; -100 Honor) or
hand it over, accepting just the fame reward instead.
NOTE: Killing Tollets does not affect "Love is the Opiate" opening.
NOTE: Wearing the Bandana, or making Tollets shoot in front of lawmen, will
prevent honor loss, if one is so inclined.
REMEMBER MY FAMILY
������������������
Unlock: Clear "The Last Thing That Shall Be Destroyed"
Locale: Various
Reward: 50 Fame, apx. $400 (from looted body)
This task is kickstarted at Blackwater's train station, where Jack attempts to
locate Edgar Ross. The stranger says he's retired, and sets off a small chain
of events where Jack goes around the country on scraps of info. The order is
(1) Lake Don Julio cabin in New Austin, talking to his wife (2) the brothers'
campsite at Rio del Toro in Mexico (3) downriver, i.e. west, from there a
short ways.
After finding Ross, the inevitable duel takes place. It can be won just like
any other duel, although Edgar may be a teensy bit faster than some average
lowlife. [Some people choose to use the High Power Pistol since it was first
given to John to put down wrongdoers.] Either way, loot Edgar's body to find
the huge amount of cash he was packin'.
THE PROHIBITIONIST
������������������
Unlock: Clear "An Appointed Time" and "The Wronged Woman"
Locale: Blackwater
Reward: $25, -100 Honor, 50 Fame (if Abner killed), +5 Fame (if Abner saved)
Talk to the titular teetotaler in front of Blackwater's saloon to learn of
just how annoying he is. Following, walk to the town's seedier side and find
the booze-runner who's business is being threatened. John can finish the
mission by killing Abner (-20 Honor) or warning the idiot to leave town.
Either way, check back with the saloon owner to finish up.
WATER AND HONESTY
�����������������
Unlock: Clear "Political Realities in Armadillo"
Locale: Eastern cliff camp along Armadillo-MacFarlane's Ranch road
Reward: $220, 50 Fame
A man with a dowsing rod thinks he may have found water near Pleasance House,
which could be used to irrigate the area, but the landowner ran him out with
threats of law enforcement. He asks John to get the coot to sell, so pay him
a visit at the house northwest of Armadillo. After a bit of banter, the guy
agrees to move elsewhere for $200 (which'll have to come out of John's own
pocket) or Mr. Marston can just take it by force, by looting his corpse (no
honor penalties).
Either way, once the "transaction" goes through, give the Pleasance Deed to
the campsite fella (McAllister) to end the mission.
WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE?
���������������������
Locale: Rathskeller Fork
Reward: ---
Up at Rathskeller, talk with the man who's special someone has been stolen
away to Tumbleweed. Ride up there and find the target, making sure to approach
on horseback as the mission has a habit of failing if one tries it on foot.
When Lucy's located, ride back to the Fork with 'er and show Jeb the findings,
ending the creepy mission.
THE WRONGED WOMAN
�����������������
Unlock: Clear "An Appointed Time"
Locale: Blackwater [church outside of town]
Reward: 100 Fame total
Note that this task is available from the first time Blackwater's accessible,
but for some reason, the "?" icon may not appear unless Marston's inside the
church. [It's the one by the graveyard, appropriately.]
Either way, speak to Clara to learn she's having an out-of-wedlock baby of
some city man, who's refused to help her monetarily. He, Harold Thornton, can
be found in the Blackwater saloon where John's safehouse is located.
NOTE: There seems to be a glitch where approaching Harold at the bar freezes
the game, forcing one to reset the game. Try approaching from different
directions to resolve the issue.
Obviously Harold's never heard of John Marston, 'cause he challenges him to
a duel outside. This is another one of the must-kill opponents, as disarming
does little to nothing...luckily this guy's quite the slowhand and easily
defeated. Loot his corpse to find $200, then return it to Clara. A few days
later, visit Harold's grave to finish the ordeal.

WEAPON OVERVIEW [WPNO]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Here's a short overview of weapons and how they rank with others in the same
class. Stats are mostly eyeballed from the organization screen, so don't take
it as gospel. [Max gun ammo capacity is 100, counting current clip.] Other
things:
� One's honor ranking can change shop prices, so it may not be a bad idea to
hold off on buying the expensive stuff until the price tags are halved.
� Some weapons can't be bought and are either available by default or gotten
in story missions (such as the first sniper rifle).
� Weapons classified as rare (for Exquisite Taste achievement) are: LeMat
Revolver, Mauser Pistol, Semi-Auto Shotgun, Evans Repeater, Carcano Rifle.

|_________________________|_________________|____|______|
Pistols and revolvers are basic weapons with low range but quick rates of
fire, making them decent in a firefight, and even better if one can get
headshots.
_________________________ _________________ ____ ______

| Dynamite | 9 4 - - | 01 | 45 |
| Fire Bottle | 7 3 - - | 01 | 25 |
|_________________________|_________________|____|______|
Throwing weapons are self-explanitory: they're thrown at the enemy and they
hopefully get a kill. Throwing knives have ridiculously awesome stopping
power (although the stats don't show it), while the other two are a little
less wieldy due to the ammo limits. Note that if used in Dead Eye, throwing
weapons glitch to have a "homing" property, so if you wanted to fire bottle
a hawk 200 yards away, it would soar through the air to get a spot-on hit!
[In campaign, 20 Throwing Knives, 10 Fire Bottles, and 6 Dynamite sticks are
available; in MP, FBs and Dynamite are limited to two each.]

| Carcano Rifle | 9 X 3 7 | 05 | 1100 |
|_________________________|_________________|____|______|
Sniper Rifles, like in all games, are primary headshot weapons and good for
surveilling locations to get first blood. Although their rates of fire suck,
their stopping power more than makes up for it. True to the period, shots're
can veer off target even if they're perfectly centered, so there's an element
of randomness to the precision, sadly.

| Bolt Action Rifle | 8 8 3 8 | 05 | 750 |
| Buffalo Rifle | 9 8 1 9 | 01 | 475 |
|_________________________|_________________|____|______|
It's easy to differentiate between rifles and repeaters: the former types are
more powerful but reload slower while the latters fire faster but have less
power behind their slugs. The best repeater is arguably the Evans, boasting a
game-high 22 rounds per clip; the best rifle is either the most powerful
(Buffalo) or most all-around (Bolt Action). [Buffalo Rifle can't be purchased
until Hunter rank Lv5 is obtained in campaign.]

|_________________________|_________________|____|______|
Shotguns excel at close-range fighting, doing insane damage to anyone stupid
enough to get into proximity. The tradeoff is low per-clip ammo capacities and
uselessness at long range.

|_________________________|_________________|____|______|
The Lasso is obtained on one of Bonnie's missions and has a few uses: (1)
can be used to stop wild horses in order to break them in (2) can hogtie
other people to restrain 'em, such as by capturing a bounty or trying to get
the Dastardly achievement. [Lasso isn't available in multiplayer.]

V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQZ]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
[Q] - Where are the three best horses?
[A] - Kentucky Saddler: New Austin area (try Cholla Springs/Hennigan's Stead)
Hungarian Half-Bred: Diez Coronas
American Standardbred: Great Plains/Tall Trees
The Kentucky is a blonde type of horse; the Hungarian's all white with
a dirty face; and the American is a really dark brown, almost black.
Once captured, if the horse is killed, whistling brings a generic one
forth, so buy the unlocked deed (use it from menu) to ensure it's the
one that always arrives. And for reference, the Saddler has the best
stamina, the American has the best speed, and the Hungarian's even in
both areas. [One of Bonnie's missions gives a free Kentucky Saddler.]
[Q] - How do you surrender to the police?
[A] - Put your gun away and stand still, letting the lawmen approach. Marston
will slowly put his hands up, allowing himself to be caught alive.
[Q] - Hey, the train is stuck in one area and won't move!
[A] - Usually advancing a few missions self-corrects this.
[Q] - Who's the chick on the front of the game's booklet?
[A] - She never appears in the game and is likely a random prostitute. She's
called the "Scarlet Lady" in most circles.
[Q] - Hey, where did Uncle's missions go?
[A] - Uncle's icon doesn't stay put like the others' in the game. Y'gotta
catch him at the right time! [11am to 5pm is the time limit, I believe]
[Q] - I can't get into multiplayer!
[A] - Sometimes attempting to enter MP from the menu results in connection
errors and, usually, an infinite loading screen. Enter campaign, switch
to private free roam, then to public -- this usually fixes some errors.
Co-op missions may be screwed up still, however, or not connect at all.
[Q] - Hey, I can't switch outfits!
[A] - After you beat "And the Truth Shall Set You Free," and until finishing
"The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed," John can't change outfits from
the Rancher's Outfit. Don't worry; it ain't permanent. Just beat all the
story missions and the wardrobe's open again.
