Last update: 11 May 2016

You are: Billy Candle

Main mission objective: You will have to perform several trials for a friendly Indian, known as Calm Water.

Difficult moments: I guess you will have some serious problems reaching the top of the mountain. You will have to choose your platforms carefully. There are also other difficulties, including the eagle and several rattlesnakes.

Complete walkthrough:

This is a very long mission, however I'm sure that you'll find it to be quite entertaining. You will have to spend a lot of time exploring new areas and dealing with different types of obstacles. We'll start off with a short cut-scene (#1). Once you've regained a full control over Billy, head on to the Indian (he is sitting by the camp fire) in order to talk to him (#2).

You must perform several different tasks in order to prove to the Indian that you're worthy. Calm Water will ask you to hunt down several hares (#1). Sadly, you won't be able to use any of your standard weapons, including the whip. Including, you will be given a bow. This object should appear in your inventory. You will have to one of the nearby clearings, because that's where you will find your prey. I'd strongly recommend that you use the horse (#2).

Head on to the nearest clearing (#1). You shouldn't encounter any wolves on the map, so you don't have be worried about anything else. Once you're there, leave the horse and take a while to observe the hares. You should notice that they will be using bushes (#2). Thankfully, none of the hares will leave this area. Choose the bow from your inventory. You will have to press and hold the right mouse button to zoom in the view. You've probably noticed that it will also slow down the game a little.

You shouldn't have any problems with these actions. There are only few important things for you to remember. First of all, you can't aim directly at you prey, mostly because aren't fast enough (#1). It would be best if you had practiced using the bow. You will be able to find two hares here. Make sure that you pick them up afterwards!

In order to be able to hunt down the third animal you will have to go to one of the more distant clearings. There's a very long journey ahead of you (#1). I would recommend that you choose the clearing that's located straight ahead. You will have to cross a river along the way. There's also a large mountain here (#2).

Once you've reached this new area, leave the horse and hunt down the third bunny (#1). Now you will have to return to Calm Water. The game will suggest that you use the smoke for directions (#2), however taking a look at your compass is equally important. You shouldn't have any problems with that. Just make sure that you don't leave the horse, as you'll need it in the future.

Once you've reached the camp site, leave the horse and listen to what the Indian has to say (#1). You will have to put down the fire before the flames reach a nearby tent. As you've probably suspected, you'll need a bucket for that. Thankfully, you shouldn't have any problems finding it (#2). Pick it up and start running towards the river.

Once you're in the water, you will have to press the left mouse button (#1). You will have to use the same button to put down the fire (#2). I would recommend that you start off with the bushes located on your right. You will have to repeat these actions about 3-4 times.

There's much longer cut-scene ahead of you (#1), so sit back and listen to what the Indian has to say. Calm Water will grant you with a final challenge. You will have to reach the top of a nearby mountain in order to find a feather of the eagle. As you've probably suspected, you should use a horse to get there (#2).

There are a lot of different paths leading to your current destination. Thankfully, you shouldn't have any problems locating the mountain (#1). I would recommend that you avoid going through other hills, because there are a lot of gaps here. You should get closer to the river (#2) and proceed from here. Thanks to that, you won't have any problems getting closer to your objective.

You will have to locate two small islands (#1). They will allow you to get closer to the mountain. Make sure that you stay on the horse for a few more seconds. Get closer to the mountain. Leave the horse on the nearby island and start moving towards nearby ledges (#2). There's A LOT of climbing ahead of you, so I'll only concentrate on more important tasks. I'm sure that you won't have any problems with most of the platforms.

The first part is quite easy. You will have a lot of different platforms ahead of you (#1). Just make sure you're moving upwards and you should be just fine. Additionally, you will have to save your progress from time to time. Be careful, though. There's a rattlesnake on a nearby ledge (#2). You probably won't notice him at first glance. Make sure that you use the whip (you don't have any other weapons) in order to solve this problem.

Once again, you will have to use your whip. This time you will have to be aiming at one of the nearby branches (#1). Start swinging. You will have to reach a new platform (#2). There's even more climbing ahead. Make sure that you have saved your current progress.

Keep moving towards the top of the hill (#1). You will have to avoid being attacked by the eagle. Thankfully, you'll know exactly when these types of attacks will occur. Just make sure that you have your speakers turned on. ;-) This time you will have to perform in order to avoid this attack. It'll be a lot easier later during this level, because you will have to crouch for a few seconds. There are some very easy jumps ahead of you (#2). Just make sure that you don't stop here, because one of the platforms will collapse.

Once again, you will have to use the whip to reach the upper level (#1). This will allow you to get to a new platform. Keep moving straight. Be careful, though. There's a rattlesnake in this area (#2). You will have to use the whip in order to solve this problem. I would recommend that you save your progress here.

There are a lot of ledges ahead of you. Thankfully, you won't have any problems finding them. Remember that only one path leads to the top of the hill. You will have to perform several jumps along the way (#1). You will also reach a new branch. Make sure that you use your whip to get to the upper level (#2). Start swinging. You will have to choose a ledge that's located on your right.

Keep moving straight. I'm sure that you won't have any major problems here. You will have to reach a small tunnel (#1) that will lead you to an upper level. Don't worry, because you won't encounter any traps here. You will come across several new platforms. Slide down to the first one (#2). Once you've dealt with these puzzles, head on to the second tunnel.

Remember that you will have to reach the top of the mountain. The eagle will try to attack you at least two more times. Thankfully, you won't have any problems avoiding these attacks. You will have to use your whip in order to be able to reach a higher ledge (#2). Make sure that you save your game often.

You will have to get down to a lower ledge at some point (#1). Don't worry about this, because you're on the right track. Now you will have to perform several complicated stunts (#2). These jumps must be very precise. You aren't allowed to make any mistakes here. Otherwise Billy would have died.

Once again, you will have to use your whip, however there's also one more thing for you to worry about. You will be trying to reach a ledge that's being occupied by a rattlesnake (#1). Make sure that you don't land too close to it. Once you're there, use the whip to kill the snake. Make sure that you're doing this from a safe distance (#2). Keep heading towards your goal.

You're almost at the top. Once you've reached a small path (#1), I'd strongly recommend that you save your game. It's very easy to die here, so you should be prepared for this. Head on to the top of the hill. You will have to be quick about it. Head on to the nest and pick up one of the feathers (#2). You can't stay here for too long, because the eagle would have attacked you. This could result in falling down the cliff.

Now you will have to return to your horse. Thankfully, we'll be using a different path. Some of the first platforms are located to your right (#1). Make sure that you use them. You mustn't hurry, especially since you'll be making a lot of jumps here. You will also find a health bottle in this area. It would be wise to pick it up. You will also have to use your whip (#2).

Keep heading towards lower platforms. You will be using your whip from time to time, however this time you will have to hold the left mouse button, instead of the right one. This will allow you to slide down a little (#1). It's very important near the end. Also, one of the paths is going to be very slippery (#2), so you should be extra careful there.

You shouldn't have any more problems here. You will to have to reach the water (#1). Start moving towards your horse. Once you're there, start heading towards the camp site. Once again, you will be able to use smoke for directions (#2). Just as before, try staying close to the water.

Once you've reached your destination (#1), leave the horse and make a few steps forward. An interesting cut-scene will appear on the screen. It turns out that the bandits have found Billy (#2). They also killed Calm Water. This is it for this mission of the campaign. It's time to go back to Ray... at least for a short while.
