Your friendly guide to Desperados III's Chapter 1: The Doctor & The Bride. Learn about John Cooper, Doc McCoy, Kate O'Hara, and the initial missions.

Hey there! Ready to dive into the Wild West with Desperados III? This guide is gonna walk you through the very first chapter, 'The Doctor & The Bride,' like we're old pals sharing tips. Think of it as your friendly nudge in the right direction, no lectures here! So, the story kicks off in 1875. This game is actually a prequel, meaning it tells us how things got started before the first _Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive_. We're going to learn all about John Cooper, the main guy. His whole quest is to track down a bandit named Frank, who, unfortunately, is responsible for the death of John's dad, James Cooper. Early on, Cooper meets Doctor McCoy. Doc was hired by a big corporation, the DeVitt Company, to protect a train Cooper was on. This train was heading to a town called Flagstone. Once you get to Flagstone, your buddy Hector Mendoza will fill you in. Turns out, Frank is hanging out at the mansion of the local mayor, who's about to get married. Now, about that bride-to-be, Kate O'Hara. She's not just marrying the mayor for love; she's trying to get her hands on some important documents related to her family's ranch. But surprise, surprise, the mayor already sold her ranch to the DeVitt Company! Things get heated, and Kate shoots the mayor just as Cooper shows up looking for Frank. You and Kate will have to make a quick escape from the mansion and head over to the O'Hara Ranch to defend it from DeVitt's goons. Doc McCoy joins in to help, and thankfully, you'll manage to fend them off, though Kate's uncle Ian sadly doesn't make it. Keep an eye out as you progress! The game does a great job of introducing new characters and story elements, so just focus on the mission objectives and you'll be fine. Remember, this is just the beginning of Cooper's journey!
