Alright, let's get this stranger mission wrapped up. This one's got a few parts, so buckle up. We're diving into 'The Wisdom of the Elders' and trust me, it's a bit of a journey.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Part II: Nighttime Visit and Wolf Attack

    First things first, you'll need to skip ahead a day. Just sleep at your camp until it's nighttime. Then, head over to Obediah Hinton. He's got some spooky stories about demons for you. Not long after that, you'll hear some howling – get ready, because a pack of wolves is coming your way. Activate Dead Eye right away and take them down. Once the furry menace is dealt with, go chat with the guy who was with Obediah to wrap up this part.

    Part III: Charm Hunt

    Now, you need to head south of the village. Your objective here is to find and destroy 13 charms. Don't worry about spotting them all yourself; activate Dead Eye, and they'll glow, making them super easy to find. Just make sure you get all 13.

    Part IV: Reporting Back

    With all the charms dealt with, it's time to head back to Obediah and the Shaman. Have a chat with them – there's some dialogue to get through. After the conversation, you'll be directed to head north of the village.

    Part V: The Poisoned Mines

    Make your way to the mines, which should be marked on your map. Once inside, find the wooden plank blocking the entrance and remove it to get in. Keep pushing forward until you notice the water. Be careful, it's poisoned! You'll need to fill up a bottle with it. Shortly after, you'll see someone run off – chase after them! The tunnel behind you is about to explode, so you'll need to find another way out.

    Warning: Get out of the mine quickly after the explosion! The air inside will start to drain your health, so don't linger.

    Once you're out, grab your horse and ride back to Obediah. Tell him what you found in the mines. After a cutscene, the mission will officially end. Don't forget to check the table before you leave – there's $50 and a letter waiting for you.
