Objectives of Blessed are the Meek?
1. Locate and speak to Micah
2. Find a way to free Micah
Approach the winch - "steam donkey", grab the hook and attach it to the cell window.
3. Pull the lever on the steam donkey
The cell window will be ripped out, and Micah will get out.
4. Protect Micah / Stay with Micah
The shooting will begin. Put a bandana on your face, you don't want to be recognized. You will be attacked by the first group of the law enforcement officers. If you're going to earn a gold medal, take your time, use the covers and shoot accurately when it's safe.
After killing the first few lawmen, Micah, instead of running away from the town, will run towards its center, telling you that he has unfinished business he has to deal with first. Follow him and eliminate enemies who will appear. Don't let them kill Micah.
After a while, you'll reach one of the houses.
Micah will go inside and after a while he will go outside armed with two of his guns. Follow him and help him eliminate a few more enemies.
Finally, you will reach the horses.
5. Mount your horse / Escape the law with Micah
Get on your horse and follow Micah. Change your weapon to a sawed-off shotgun, it works much better when riding a horse.
Along the way you will meet a total of eight law enforcement officers on horses. To earn the gold medal you have to kill them all within 55 seconds.
Evade the law by escaping from the red search area on the map and staying out of sight until they stop looking for you.
When you're safe, in thanks for your help, Micah will give you an Off-Hand Holster that will allow you to carry two sidearms at once and dual wield them. Then you will split up and the mission will end.
Committing serious crimes will cause towns to go into lockdown for a while. This is shown by a red area on the map. Additional lawmen are patrolling while a town is locked down and you will become wanted again if spotted before clearing your bounty.
After completing Blessed are the Meek? you will get or will be able to get An American Pastoral Scene (1 of 2).
