1. Follow Javier to the Old Camp

At the start of the mission, you will ride out of camp with Javier. Follow him as he tracks down clues, leading you to an old camp. During this segment, stay close to Javier as he searches for John. Eventually, you’ll find the body of John’s horse. Upon this discovery, Javier will fire a shot, and you will hear a response. The next part requires you to proceed on foot.

2. Equip Your Sawed-Off Shotgun

Before following Javier, approach your horse and press L1 to equip your Sawed-Off Shotgun. This weapon is crucial for taking down wolves, so make sure it’s ready for use.

3. Rescue John from the Wolves

After following Javier to John, you will find him in a weakened state. Arthur will carry John to the horses. Just as you start to head back, a pack of wolves will attack. Challenge Tip: To meet the first mission challenge of killing all wolves without taking damage, try to focus on headshots while keeping your distance. Make sure to avoid any bites from the wolves.

4. Ride Back to Camp While Fighting More Wolves

Once the first pack of wolves is dealt with, Javier will help load John onto his horse. You will then ride down the mountain with Javier and John. Along the way, you will be attacked by two more groups of wolves. Tip: Use the shotgun to clear the wolves quickly, but be mindful of your surroundings to avoid taking damage.

As you approach camp, the wolves will stop attacking, and you will have completed the mission.
