Hi there,

Joshua Brown - my ticket to the Blackwater. I was short on cash to pay the bounty of blackwater. I tried to do short jobs but the cash requirement was $40. I went to Strawberry and got this job from the sheriff to catch Joshua alive.

I was still unsure how the game would behave if I tried to enter the Blackwater region again. But anyway I had to pay the bounty of $120 to at least shake off the bounty hunters.

I am all set to catch the criminal Joshua Brown. I feel like Batman!

I get on my bat-mobile. I have to ride to the northern mines of strawberry.

I was on my trail and I heard a voice.

The person sitting on the stairs called me.

I went to him. I never played this side quest before.

He showed me a book and it was full of different symbols and marks.

He asked me to look for symbols around the map and report to him.

He promised to pay me well in return.

I agreed to him and caught my trail again.

Slowly I was hiking to good heights such that I could see snow.

The road was very narrow and I was confused as well about my path.

I heard a voice again and this time I met this dude again. He competes with me, is Mexican, and places bets to shoot out the targets.

I agreed to the bet as I had to earn as well.

I won the bet as we had to shoot down the flying birds and with a dead eye it's a cakewalk for me.

I again took out the poster to get a clear look at his face as I was near the mines.

I had to get down from the peak. The trail to Joshua was confusing to me. Finding the mine/cave around the mountain was very time-consuming.

I found this mark, I don't know if it is a grave site or some easter egg. I will find the mystery of this soon.

I headed down from the hill and could see the cave.

I took out my lasso to catch Joshua and avoid any duel.

A big bold warning was written - "proceed with caution".

I went inside the cave and It was going down.

I sat down and started brewing coffee while waiting for Joshua.

Soon a person arrived at the entrance.

It was Joshua, you can see the fear on Arthur's face.

He lit his cigarette and told me that there was no return from this point.

We are all set for a duel. I drew my gun and shot at his right hand to shake off his gun.

After firing, Joshua started running away.

I went behind him and as I had to catch him alive, I avoided using the gun.

I threw my lasso on him and caught him.

I tied him and stowed him on my batmobile.

I went inside the mine to check for any collectibles.

Soon few bounty hunters started chasing me to take Joshua from me. The first time I came to know that there are bandits who can loot your hostage as well.

I went inside the town and they stopped chasing me.

I took Joshua inside the jail and threw him in his cell.

I came up to collect my bounty and I received an additional $20 as well. So, in total, I earned $60 from this bounty.

After collecting the cash I went to pay my bounty and earned my ticket to the Blackwater.
