Last update: 11 May 2016
You are: Reverend Ray
Main mission objective: You will have to reach a nearby camp, because that's were Molly was being held. Next, you will have to pursue a stagecoach.
Most difficult moments: You'll probably have some problems with the whole chase sequence. This is the most important element of this mission. The chase is going to be quite long. Furthermore, you must be very careful, because there will be some obstacles for you to avoid. As a result, you will have to save your game quite often. There also two machine gun posts in the area.
Complete walkthrough:
Keep moving forward. You should be able to get closer to the camp very soon (#1). That's where you'll need to go. Sadly, you will have to choose a path that's located on your right (#2) to get there. Make sure that you're using the horse, so it won't take too long. You should also know that there aren't any bandits in this area.
Once you've reached the forest area, you will have to turn left. You can use your compass here. You should be able to get closer to the camp. I would recommend that you leave the horse and start crouching (#1). You will have to reach one of the nearby trees. It would be best to use this object for cover. Start leaning out (#2). It would be best if you had used the rifle all the time, especially since most of the bandits are also equipped with this weapon.
You will have to make sure that the entrance to the camp has been secured. You could check the bodies for extra ammunition. After that, start moving towards a small buildings (#1). You probably won't encounter any other hostiles here. Pick up a small crate. You will have to place it by a small brick wall (#2). This will allow you to enter this building.
You could check all of the surrounding shelves, chests and drawers for health bottles and other valuables, however this is not necessary. Eventually you will have to reach a small door (#1). Open it. You should be able to take out a guy who's standing by the machine gun post (#2). Be careful, though. He might get replaced by one of his colleagues. You will have to prevent that from happening.
As you've probably noticed by now, all hell has broken loose. You are going to be attacked from many different directions. Most of the bandits will be standing by the river (#1). Try leaning out carefully in order to take them out. The second group will be located by the barn. You will have to watch out for an enemy sniper. He will be hiding in a small window (#2).
Try exiting the house. You will have to get closer to the barn. As always, you will have to be very careful. Some of the bandits may still be guarding this area (#1). Additionally, one of them may decide to use the machine gun post (#2). You could kill him, however this is not necessary. You won't have to explore this entire area.
Make sure that you have plenty of ammunition (especially for the rifle). Enter the barn (#1) and try making a few steps forward. You will be able to proceed with the main part of the mission. The objective will be to pursue a stagecoach. Start off by taking out a single opponent (#2). He will be standing by a large gate. Now you will have to use the horse. Leave the barn area. I guess I should tell you something. You won't have to worry about the lime limit too much. It will only pop up when the stagecoach manages to escape. This means that you will have to speed up a little. As a result, you should be focused only on maintaining a proper distance.
Keep moving forward (#1). There's only one path here, so you really couldn't get lost, even if you had wanted to. Just make sure that you don't stop at nothing, because you will have to get closer to the stagecoach. Wait for the game to display a new hint (#1). Pressing the CAPS LOCK key will allow you to force your horse to gallop. It's very useful, especially if you want to catch your target. Sadly, you won't be using this feature all the time, because it would decrease a health bar that's located near the compass. As a result, you should keep holding this key for no more than two seconds.
Keep going straight. The first part of the chase sequence will require you to avoid dynamite explosions (#1). Thankfully, you won't have any problems with this, especially since the explosions will occur in a safe distance. Concentrate all of your efforts on getting closer to the stagecoach. You should also remember that there are a lot of narrow passageways in the area (#2).
A few bandits will join the chase very soon. They will also be using horses (#1), so you must deal with them right now. I would recommend that you use the rifle (#2), mostly because you won't be able to activate the slow-motion feature. Additionally, you should be able to kill all of them without having to reload your weapon.
The main mission objective hasn't changed (#1). Make sure that you have the stagecoach in your sight. Sadly, you won't be able to get too close to it. The game will prevent this from happening. You will come across a well known bridge in a few seconds (#2). You've been here in one of the previous missions of the game. Thankfully, you won't have to do anything in particular here.
You'll have more problems with the second bridge area. Escaping bandits will decide to blow it up (#1). Make sure that you have saved your game here. Head on to the left side of the screen. You will have to find an untouched fragment. This will allow you to get to the other side (#2). I would recommend that you speed up a little, so you won't lose the stagecoach.
Once again, you will have to avoid the dynamite (#1). This time it's going to be much more difficult, because most of the explosions will occur near your position. As a result, you won't be able to move in a straight line. Make sure that the stagecoach doesn't escape you. There are also new bandits for you to kill (#2). I'd strongly recommend that you use the rifle once the again. You won't have to aim at the heads of your opponents, because this is a quite powerful weapon.
You will come across the third bridge very soon (#1). Thankfully, you don't have to worry about any other surprises. You must avoid the dynamite explosions, though. Keep moving. You should get closer to a river (#2). I'd STRONGLY recommend that you save your game here. This is one of the most difficult parts of this entire chase sequence.
As you've probably noticed, some of the bandits are waiting for you on the other side of the river. Sadly, you won't be able to avoid this trap. You might as well start shooting at them (#1). Sadly, you will have to ignore the rest and pray that you won't get hit. Speed up once again. You will have to get closer to the stagecoach. Thankfully, there are a few shortcuts here (nearby fields).
You will be heading towards the mountain areas (#1). I wouldn't recommend cutting through corners here, because they could slow you down a little. Thankfully, there aren't any other enemies in the area, so you won't be bothered by anyone (#2). Nevertheless, you should be saving your progress from time to time. Thanks to that, you won't have to repeat any larger portions of this chase sequence.
You should be able to reach a small junction very soon (#1). Sadly, you won't be able to choose the left path because it's going to be blocked. Instead, turn right (#2). Don't worry about the stagecoach, because you won't be able to fail your mission here. Keep moving forward.
You should be able to reach the opposite end of this road very soon. As a result, you will have to slide down (#1). The game will suggest that you should use the S key here. This is VERY important. Additionally, you will have to avoid hitting rocks (#2). You will have to be careful here, because your horse could lose a lot of health points.
Once you're on the lower level, keep moving forward. You should be able to catch up to the stagecoach (#1). Don't worry, this was all planned. Sadly, you won't be able to enjoy this for too long. More bandits will appear near your position (#2). Just as before, they will try to interrupt your chase. Use the rifle to get rid of them, however you should leave at least 20 bullets for later.
The stagecoach is heading towards a nearby ranch (#1). This is a good thing, because this is where this chase sequence will end. Start moving upwards. A short cut-scene should appear on your screen (#2). It turns out that the main entrance to the farm is being protected by a Gatling gun. As a result, you will have to find another way into the complex. SAVE the game!
There is a way for you to enter the farm safely. You will have to turn right. As you've probably noticed by now, part of the wooden fence has been destroyed. This will allow you to get past the machine gun post (#1). Leave the horse and get closer to one of the huge boulders. They will be used for cover (#2). Make sure that you have reloaded your weapon.
You will have to start off by taking out a single bandit that's standing by the Gatling gun (#1). There are also few other enemy units in this area. Some of them will be located on your left, so you will have to eliminate them quickly (#2). I would recommend that you don't stay in one place for too long. You should also be using larger objects for much needed cover.
Now you will have to get closer to the main building. It's not going to be easy, because it's being occupied by at least two bandits. One of them is already shooting at you (#1). I would recommend that you eliminate him from a larger distance. Get closer to the right wall. I was able to shoot through a window in order to take down the second opponent (#2). It's a little bit risky, but you should be just fine.
You could spend some time here, picking up better weapons and gathering ammunition. This is not necessary, because you're close to the end. As a result, you should only take a health bottle. Head on to a small cottage (#1). Once you're there, you will have go to the second room (#2). Save your game here. This is VERY important! Open a nearby door.
A short cut-scene should appear on your screen (#1). As you've probably suspected, this is a new duel. I should warn you that this opponent is even more skilled. As a result, you will have to be very fast in order to kill him (#2). Wait for the new cut-scene to show up. You'll learn several IMPORTANT things from the bandit, so I wouldn't recommend skipping this movie. After that, this chapter will come to an end. You'll also get back to playing as Billy.
