Ghost Town
Red visits the town of Tarnation on the hunt for Mr. Black.
Chapter 9
"Tarnation was the odd child of the territory. The town fell apart after most of the citizens left, excepy that strange undertaker, Mr. N. Black."
Before the mission starts, you'll be given the option to purchase the following items.
- Twin Revolvers - $800
- Dynamite - $220
The camera pans down from the sky in the small wooden, single-street town of Tarnation.
Everything looks quiet and very much like a ghost town until some shady characters are spotted in cover looking out on the street.
Red heads down the long dirt track into the town.
Meanwhile, more enemies get into position to ambush him.
Not applicable for this mission.
This level is pretty straight forward and should only take a few minutes to get through. You need to make your way down the street and take out all of the enemies. I believe there are 19 in total.
Many of the enemies will come out of the buildings you'll pass on your way up the street. It's best to take it slowly and kill them as you go. You don't complete the level by reaching the end, you have to take out every enemy so start at one end of the street and shoot everything that moves in front of you.
There are two enemies who will stand on balconies high above the street, but everyone else will appear on the ground level or in the doorways of the buildings. You shouldn't need to go inside any of the buildings, but they do provide cover if you need it.
Keep fighting your way along the street and remember to use Deadeye if things are getting tough. You can take as much time as you need, but there's a good opportunity to build up a huge combo on this level. After unlocking cheats through Bounty Hunter mode, I was able to get a 19x combo on this level which awarded over $8000!
Once all enemies are dead, you'll be told to "Get ready for a dueling showdown!".
Three enemies show up at the end of the street and Red faces off against them all in a triple-threat duel.
Jesse Lynch is the main baddie, flanked by two of his goons.This is the first time you'll be involved in a triple duel.
The triple duel is fairly similar to the double duel you faced half way through Chapter 8. Remember you ony have 6 shots, so this time you've only got 2 targets to paint on each enemy. Ensuring you get critical hits and ideally a critical headshot is very important.
Start off by targeting the right-sided enemy, mark 2 shots then move to the central enemy and try to get a headshot, then quickly move to the left target and try to get some critical hits.
You don't actually need to kill all 3 of the enemies in the duel, but you'll definitely want to take out at least one of them and cause some damage to the other two. You'll take heavy damage if you aren't able to kill them all and Red will be shot and fall over like he's been killed, but he should get up and be able to finish the fight as a regular gunfight. If this happens, just aim for headshots and strafe back and forth to dodge enemy bullets, using Deadeye if you have it available.
Red runs through the gate at the end of the street...
And continues up the hill towards the Cemetery.
There are no rewards for completing this mission as it rolls onto the next mission automatically.
After completing the story, you'll be able to replay each mission in "Bounty Hunter Mode" which includes an optional objective to complete. Beating the mission and completing the objective will provide a reward.
- Objective
- Complete the level in 4 minutes!
- Reward
- Showdown Character: "Dig" Fowler + Shop Item: "Dirt Shovel"
Tips
You'll complete the objective by killing all of the enemies inside the time limit. I estimate there are probably around 20. With the cheats, there's no risk of dying and you can use Deadeye to target the enemies but the hardest part will just be tracking down every last enemy.
There's no point running all of the way to the end of the level (along the street) because a number of the enemies will stay on balconies or inside the buildings around the center of the street so you might as well just slowly make your way along the street, ensuring you kill everyone in every building as you go.
All Bounty Hunter challenges are much easier if you unlock and enable the "Invincibility", "Infinite Deadeye" and "Golden Gun" cheats. For more info, read about Cheats in Red Dead Revolver.
