Category: Side Mission
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission Do Not Seek Absolution I.
The next day, after completing Do Not Seek Absolution I mission, you will be able to meet Archie again, who still hasn't left the town.
Archie will tell you that his mother doesn't want to take the money and leave town and still works as a prostitute. Moreover, she went north with one of her clients some time ago and hasn't come back yet. Arthur will decide to look for her.
Unwilling to accept Arthur's money, Edith Downes continues to sell her body. Worried for his mother's safety, Archie Downes asks Arthur to head to Willard's Rest to look for her.
To earn the gold medal in this mission you must reach Mrs. Downes within the set time limit. Get on your horse and ride north along the railway tracks.
When you reach the bridge, activate Eagle Eye and you should notice a trail that turns left under the bridge.
Take the main road for a while and then turn right into a side road.
After a while you will see a horse, and a bit further you will see Mrs. Downes and her client. Approach them.
Arthur will force the man to leave and then he will try to convince Mrs. Downes to come back with him.
No matter which option you choose, Edith will decide to go back with you.
Get on your horse, wait for Edith to get on it too, and ride back to Archie.
Arthur will give Edith some money so that she and her son can start a new life elsewhere and the mission will end.
