Follow this Red Dead Redemption 2 walkthrough to help Arthur Morgan break Micah Bell out of jail in Strawberry and earn a Gold Medal.

Alright, so this mission, 'Blessed are the Meek,' is all about busting Micah out of the Strawberry jail. To snag that shiny Gold Medal, you'll need to be quick with your shots and keep your accuracy high. Make sure you've got some Snake Oil or Chewing Tobacco handy to keep your Dead Eye topped up – you'll want that for headshots, but try not to heal your health if you can help it!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head up to Strawberry and make your way to the Jail. Go inside, and you'll find Micah's locked up. Head back outside and find the window to chat with him.
  2. 2
    Now, for the breakout. The easiest way is to use that Steam Donkey you'll find nearby. Hook it up to the window and pull the lever. Boom! Micah's free.
  3. 3
    Once Micah's out, the real action starts. Stick to cover like glue to avoid taking too much damage, and get ready to spam Dead Eye for those headshots – you need 15 total for the Gold Medal.
  4. 4
    After the first wave of lawmen is down, follow Micah to the right. Keep an eye on the lawman chilling by the house on the right; he's a priority.
  5. 5
    As you move down the path, you'll get a short break. This is your chance to chug some Snake Oil to refill your Dead Eye. Then, follow Micah again.
  6. 6
    The final wave is intense, with lawmen coming from everywhere. The most crucial one is on the hotel balcony. If you don't take him out fast, he'll get Micah.
  7. 7
    Quickly hop on your horse! The mission shifts to an escape sequence, with mounted lawmen on your tail.
  8. 8
    For the escape, you'll need to take out four pairs of lawmen within 55 seconds for the Gold Medal. Dead Eye is your best friend here for speed and accuracy.
  9. 9
    The first pair is right at the entrance of Strawberry. The second pair comes from the left as you head down the path. The third pair ambushes from the right, and the final pair attacks from the left at the intersection.
  10. 10
    Once the last pair is down, just follow Micah to get clear of the law. He'll give you a Holster as a thank you, which lets you dual-wield pistols!

Gold Medal Checklist:

  • Kill all mounted lawmen within 55 seconds while escaping.
  • Get 15 headshots.
  • Complete the mission with at least 70% accuracy.
  • Complete the mission without using any health items.
Tips
