i got the lucky horseshoe by paying 200 gold to the poor family as i visited the home again. as it seems for every campaign are (another?) special items to obtain, which you can review in the campaign screen. for the first campaign: 1. the rep. rifle 2. snakeskin boots and the third one i dont know.
played the first mission again to see if i can cure the curse but didnt find a way. its just a pain i cant farm gold because of the curse and it seems there is sth more to do. does anyone knows if they are more battles? (defend your home, rescue the girl, optional mexican town again and the last one to finish the mission.)

The 3rd item to find is the Relic, it gives regen to allies near you and can be gained by going into the area called collapsed mine and going foward until the end and meeting the mystery man.
You get a ton of money, the relic, a pair of boots and the bloody shirt.
In the 2nd scenario you can buy those items from the Fate Trader at the bottom right of the map.

Can you hit all the mines in the first scenario? I had 4 prospects left and it looks like I've cleared everything realted to finidng other mines. Folllowed the rabbit, asked in town. There must be something else.

you can get to 0
although if you use the special tools, they reduce the number of digs you need to clear a mine

[silencer4]

I've used three special tools. So this is why I was left with 4 uses?

[Insurgent Lyndis]

stage 2 secret item = shotgun revolver, Baby n.9, skin vest. i am 100% sure to get skin vest from one of the graveyard i shoveled after i visited hope village. i think shotgun revolver is from the gear i asked from the strange man once 100 people killed . Baby 9 is from releasing the childeater and keeping him alive while robbering the bank at day on the open

[Vermillion]

Updated the list with Lady Lyndis's information on the stage 2 items, also added a thank you so people know it was Lady Lyndis who worked out where the items where.
Also added a thanks to BubbaKush for the location of the boots, someone still needs to test to see what grave has the special item and if killing the mexican gets you the boot or the wishing well does.

[Insurgent Lyndis]

careful you updated wrong thing -> vest is from grave and baby is the gun the childeater got on him.
I gonna redo that scenario for more details since i want to do like the shop video (seems you can have an indian and an english on your party instead of old billy and the tax collector).


abandonned grave is the graveyard to dig for the skin vest

Character that you can recruit.
- Brandon Scott, tax collector -> accept him to join party when you try to find clue for murray
-Old man Murray, ex-mask man man -> save him from the cannibal
-Scrawny Kid, the cruel -> sacrifice Murray or scott at the totem then accept him (i did this after saving murray, don't know if that work before by sacrifice Scott)

[XX //]

i was able to recruit the Scrawny Kid without sacrificing anyone... actually the only one i ended up sacrificing on that whole campaign ended up being the 'scrawny kid', lol

Do you need something for X Mark left by Hermit? I arrive there and nothing happens.

You get about 250 gold from the X marks the spot location and maybe some small items.
But it mainly just for the gold.

[silencer4]

Yes, but nothing is happenning when I arrive there.

Edit: Strange. I've redone the scenario and now it worked.

did anyone figure out the order of the 4 brothers' graves (the Evangelists?)

it's not the order of the bible verses that they are not-so-subtly named after because they're actually listed in order ( if you click them as the default 1-2-3-4 options order then you are clicking them as Matthew-Mark-Luke-John anyway ... *unless i got my Bible wrong* ... )

edit: nvm, i went the wikipedia page and TIL that each of the Evangelists were represented by an animal in the Bible.

i will check this in game but per wikipedia this should be helpful in finding the solution ~


Matthew the Evangelist is symbolized by a winged man, or angel... Christ's human nature.
Mark the Evangelist is symbolized by a winged lion – a figure of courage and monarchy.
Luke the Evangelist is symbolized by a winged ox or bull – a figure of sacrifice, service and strength.
John the Evangelist is symbolized by an eagle – a figure of the sky... it represents Jesus' Ascension, and Christ's divine nature.

yeah uhhh after i investigated for ways to clear the amulet curse (i think different from devil curse, because i declined his offer at the beginning) right after saving the girl in scenario 1 the well and the fortune teller open up. I went to the fortune teller and failed to cure, posse member left as consequence, then my homestead was attacked. This gave me option to siege my homestead.

QUESTION
how do you use the dex elixer? i equipped two yet when im on the crevice event it doesnt allow me to drop down carefully with them
