Objectives of An Honest Mistake
1. Follow Uncle / Wait for the wagon
Follow Uncle. When you arrive near a crossing where a wagon should be passing, put a bandana on your face. After a while, you will see the wagon you are waiting for.
2. Approach the wagon / Keep up with the wagon / Rob the wagon
Ride up to the wagon. After a moment, the coachman should stop it.
Get off your horse and check the box at the back of the wagon. You will find a lot of cash in it.
Unfortunately, when you enjoy your take, another wagons and their guards will arrive and you will have to escape as quickly as possible. The guards will start chasing you.
3. Escape the pursuers with the gang / Hide in the barn
Follow your companions as fast as you can. At some point you will turn into a forest and some time later you will reach the farm and decide to hide in the barn.
You will hide inside the barn and wait until nightfall.
4. Keep hidden
After dark, when you were about to leave the barn, Cornwall's people, who are still looking for you, will come to the farm. The farm owner will tell them that he heard the sounds in the barn some time ago, and two guards will head towards the barn to check it out. One of them will enter the barn.
You have to stay hidden while the Cornwall's guards search the area. Just don't move.
When the guard is about to leave the barn, suddenly one of your companions does something that draws his attention and a shooting starts.
5. Fend off the attackers
The opponents will attack the barn from all sides. Remember about the requirements to get a gold medal, i.e. high accuracy and a large number of head shots. Most of them you need to get during this shooting.
After some time the barn will start to burn so much that you will have to leave it.
6. Escape through the hole in the barn wall
Bill made a hole in one of the barn walls. Leave the barn through this hole and then run into the forest.
7. Follow Uncle / Get into cover near Uncle
You split up, you follow Uncle.
Hide with Uncle behind a big rock.
8. Deal with the pursuers
Wait until the two enemies on your way pass through the rock, get behind them and quietly kill the one on the right.
Unfortunately, uncle will not be successful like you and will be knocked to the ground. You have to help him to score one of the requirements for a gold medal. If you don't do it fast enough, the old man will free himself after a while.
9. Help Charles and Bill
Run toward Charles and Bill and help them kill a few remaining enemies. It will be a few more opportunities to get some headshots.
Once you've dealt with all your opponents, your group will split up and this mission will be completed.
After completing An Honest Mistake you will get or will be able to get Preaching Forgiveness as He went.
