Red Dead Redemption 2: Free Sean in 'The First Shall be Last'

AntMag.NET

Alright, partner, let's get Sean out of a jam in the mission "The First Shall be Last." This one's a bit of a ride, so make sure you're ready. You'll need to head west to meet up with Javier and Charles to kick things off. Just a heads-up, if you're rolling into Blackwater, be careful – it's locked down, and the law will shoot you on sight. Stick to the mission objectives to avoid trouble.

Walkthrough

1
Once the mission starts, follow Trelawny along the riverside. The boat will eventually stop, and you'll need to ride down to the water's edge with Javier and Trelawny. Make sure you've got your Repeater handy for what's coming, and equip your knife too.
2
Follow Javier stealthily behind the two Bounty Hunters. When Trelawny starts his distraction, take out the Bounty Hunter on the left. This is your chance to be silent and efficient.
3
The action then moves to a canyon. As you push forward, stick to cover and aim for headshots – you'll need 10 for that Gold Medal. Keep an eye on the snipers positioned above the canyon; they're your top priority. Use Dead Eye to line up those crucial headshots.
4
As you climb the hill, two more enemies will attack from the left. These are excellent targets for more headshots, so make them count.
5
You'll eventually reach a camp where Sean is tied upside down to a tree. Take careful aim at the rope and shoot it to free him.
6
After taking out the initial group of Bounty Hunters, a final wave will attack from the hills. Use any remaining Dead Eye you have and focus on headshots to finish them off quickly.
7
Once the fighting is done, head over to Sean, cut him down, and you'll complete the mission.

Tips

Gold Medal Tip: To get the Gold Medal, you'll need to: silently kill the Bounty Hunters by the river with Javier, shoot the rope to free Sean, get 10 headshots, and complete the mission without using any health items.
Stealth is Key: When you first encounter the Bounty Hunters by the river, make sure Javier is in position before you make your move. A silent takedown on the first one is crucial.
Prioritize Snipers: During the canyon shootout, the snipers are the biggest threat. Take them out first to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
Cover is Your Friend: Use the environment for cover during firefights, especially the ruined house when the final group attacks from the hills.
Looting: Don't forget to loot the camp after the mission. You might find some valuable items, like a Premium Cigarette Pack with a Card inside.
