Chapter III: Level 1 Walkthrough | Chapter III Call of Juarez Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

You are: Reverend Ray

Main mission objective: You will have to deal with bandits that have taken control over the town of Hope. They are responsible for the death of a local sheriff.

Difficult moments: You will have to be very careful here. This is a first chapter that's concentrated mostly on gunfights. Some of the bandits will be well equipped. Furthermore, they may be hiding. As a result, you will have to observe your surrounding very carefully. Make sure that you check roofs and windows. You mustn't forget about the possibility of saving your current progress, especially in the second part of this chapter.

Complete walkthrough:

You start off inside a well known chapel (you've been here during the previous chapter of the campaign mode). This time it'll be a lot different, though. Before you'll be able to proceed to the main part of the mission, there are a few things for you to take care of. First of all, you will have to collect Ray's guns. Head on to a small room that's located on your left (#1). Open a door. You will find a chest here (#2). Take a look inside. You will find two guns here, as well as some ammunition.

You may proceed to the exit (#1). I'm sure that you won't have any problems finding it. Open the door. This will trigger a new cut-scene (#1). Ray meets up with a local sheriff (#2). He wants to convince our character to let him handle this problem. The most interesting thing here is that the sheriff is going to be killed in a few seconds. As a result, you will have to deal with bandits who are responsible for this death.

Start moving towards the main part of the town (#1). You should also get ready for some of the upcoming fights. You will be given an important choice. You could be using only one revolver, along with the Bible. This object would allow you to stun your opponents for a short period of time. I wouldn't recommend this combination. Two revolvers are much more interesting, mostly because you'll be given more firepower and you wouldn't have to worry about reloading the weapons so much. You will probably notice that one of the bandits is standing here (#2). He'll get back to his colleagues eventually. This is an obvious trap, however you don't have any other choice...

Go ahead and try to enter this part of the town. A short cut-scene should appear on your screen (#1). You will have an opportunity to take out FOUR bandits. It's not that hard as it seems, mostly because we will use a new feature of the game. It's very similar to classic bullet-time. Make sure that you read everything that's been displayed on your screen. In order to activate this mode, you will have to holster your weapons. Once you've activated this feature, go ahead and place the cross-hairs over your opponents (#2). If you're lucky, you should be able to kill at least two of them (probably those in the middle).

Once you've finished with this sequence, make sure that you take a few steps back. I would recommend that you take cover by a large wagon (#1). Also, make sure that you've reloaded both weapons. Start leaning out. You have to be very careful here. I would also recommend that you zoom in the view. This will help you to take out most of these bandits (#2). Make sure you're aiming at their heads, so they will die quickly.

Once you've disposed of all hostile units (make sure that you don't expose your position too much), check their bodies. You will find a lot of interesting things here. First of all, you should be on a look out for small bottles (#1). They will replenish your current health. Additionally, you will have to pick up ammunition (#2). You should also know that some of your weapons will jam during the fights. You can predict this by taking look at the icons. If one them turns red, it means that you should find a new weapon... and fast. As a result, make sure that you've replaced your guns every time you've completed a larger part of the mission.

You may proceed to the next section of the town. You will hear a woman screaming. The noise appears to be coming from one of the buildings (#1). Ray will say that it's probably sheriff's wife. You will have to rescue her. Before you decide to do that, make sure that you turn around. You should be facing the chapel. A single enemy unit has appeared in this area (#2). You will have to deal with this problem swiftly.

Now you will have to choose a small passageway that should be located between two buildings (#1). You must go there now. Once you've reached a new area, make sure that you look up and turn left. One of the bandits is hiding on a wooden staircase (#2). Kill him!

Now you will have to find your way into the building. As you've probably noticed, the lower part of the staircase has been destroyed. As a result, you will have to find some other way in. Start off by picking up one of the larger crates. Next, you will have to place it in a designated spot (#1). Perform two jumps in order to reach the top of the largest crate. You should be able to reach the staircase from here (#2).

You will have to use the staircase in order to reach the upper level. Enter this new room. You could spend some time searching through the drawers, although this is not necessary. Head on to a small door. You will have to use your boot in order to clear the way (#1). Enter a small balcony and turn left. Be careful, though. There's a single opponent here (#2). You must take care of him right now.

You should also know that several other bandits have appeared on the ground level. You should try and kill them from here. Make sure that you've taken care of this small problem. There are some suitcases ahead of you (#1). Pick up a few of them. Otherwise you'd have some problems reaching the next balcony. Get closer to the hotel building. Keep moving forward. Step up to a wooden balustrade and destroy it (#2). You will have to use the C key once again.

There's a quite challenging fight ahead of you. The game will suggest that you holster your weapons, so you'll be able to used the slo-mo feature. Wait for the right moment and head on to a large window (#1). Enter this room and turn left. You will have to do this quickly. Press one of the mouse buttons in order to activate bullet-time. You shouldn't have any problems taking down both bandits (#2). I would recommend that you press each mouse button at least three times. Thanks to that, you'll make sure that they won't survive this attack.

Step up to the rescued woman. She was the wife of a recently killed sheriff. A new cut-scene should appear on your screen (#1). You'll find out that some of the bandits are trying to take control over a nearby prison. You will have to take care of this problem. Go back to the balcony. Jump down to the ground. I would recommend that you find a good cover. You don't have to search for anything in particular. Larger crates will do just fine. Some new bandits have appeared in this area. You will have to kill them all. Make sure you're zooming in your view. Aim at their heads. You should also try to maintain a large distance.

You will have to be very careful here. Make sure that you've secured this entire area. Some of the bandits may be hiding by the crates (#1). You will have to be ready for that. Kill them quickly, so they won't be able to surprise you in the future. There's a stagecoach here. Make sure you use it for much needed cover. There are still some enemies on your right (#2). Kill them. After that, make sure that you have checked the bodies for health bottles and ammunition.

Once you'll get closer to the prison building, a short cut-scene should appear on your screen (#1). Some of the bandits will try and blow up the entrance. Like I've said before, you will have to kill them. Start off by taking out those enemies who haven't entered the building (#2). Make sure you're using pillars and crates for cover. I should also warn you that some of the bandits may decide to leave the prison. You will also have to kill them, as they won't be using any cover.

You will have to get closer to the prison building. I would recommend that you approach it from the right side (#1). There aren't any new enemies outside the building, so you don't have to be worried about that. Holster your weapons. You should be facing the wall. Start moving towards the door. Once you're closer to the right window (#2), press one of the mouse buttons in order to activate bullet-time. Kill some of the visible bandits. Take cover and repeat this action. This time you should choose the front door or the left window.

There are also a few other bandits in this area. They are standing by the LEFT wall of the prison building (#1). It would be wise to take them out right now, so they wouldn't surprise you in the near future. Head on to the main door. Activate the bullet-time once again or try entering the prison without using this feature. There are probably a few other enemies here. They should be standing by the stairs (#2). Kill them.

Once you've taken care of all enemy units, head on to the central part of this building. Turn around. As you've probably noticed, some of the remaining bandits will try to burn down this building (#1). It would be wise if you didn't wait for this to happen. Use the stairs. You should be able to reach the attic (#2).

You will have to use a small ladder that leads to the roof (#1). Sadly, you won't be able to reach it from here. As a result, go ahead and start picking up some of the surrounding crates. You will have to create a small tower. 2-3 crates should do the trick (#2). You have to be quick about it, as you'll start losing health points very soon. Climb up and perform a single jump in order to reach the ladder.

You'll find yourself on the roof of the prison. There should be a small passageway in front of you. It'll allow you to reach the barn (#1). You won't have to hurry anymore. Step up to the hole and enter the barn. You probably remember it from one of the previous levels of the campaign. First of all, you will have to reach a lower platform (#2). Make sure that you don't fall all the way to the ground, as it would cost you a lot of health points.

Once again, you will have to use a large wooden platform. I'm sure that you remember what has to be done here - place one of the larger crates in a designated spot (#1). Start moving forward. You will have to use the ladder in order to reach the upper level. Now you will have to go to the opposite end of the barn. Turn right and start shooting at the small handle (#2).

There are a few challenging stunts ahead of you, so I'd strongly recommend that you save your progress here. You will have to make a jump towards a large pipe (#1). You can't miss it. Otherwise your character would have ended up dead. Once you're there, turn left and try to reach a new roof (#2). If there are still some enemies in the area - ignore them.

This is almost the end of the first part. You will have to find a small hole in the roof (#1). Use it to enter a new building. Now you will have to wait for the game to load a new map.
