Complete The Wages of Pain mission in Desperados III. Learn how to get badges like using the wagon to block train tracks and not killing anyone.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the mission with Hector and Kate near the train tracks, while Isabelle heals Cooper at the campsite.
  2. 2
    Immediately choose your method to block the train tracks, as some badges are mutually exclusive.
  3. 3
    To use the wagon to block the train tracks:
  4. 4
    Proceed through the left side of the map.
  5. 5
    Hide in the bushes in front of the Poncho.
  6. 6
    After the train passes, throw a vial of perfume to blind the Poncho and run to the bushes ahead.
  7. 7
    Wait for the train to pass again and knock out the Poncho.
  8. 8
    Hide behind the wagon and wait for the train. Whistle to lure the bandit; the train will block the enemy's sight so you can take him down.
  9. 9
    Coordinate Kate to blind the two guards digging a hole while Hector defeats the Poncho.
  10. 10
    As the Poncho falls, have Kate drag him to the bushes and tie him up with Hector as enemies ahead recover their sight.
  11. 11
    Sneak Hector behind the house, blind the two guards, and take down the Long Coat sleeping.
  12. 12
    Wait for the train to pass and take down the Poncho on the roof.
  13. 13
    When the train passes again, throw a guard on the bandit below to get the attention of the bandit on the digging hole. Jump down and take him down, then tie the guards and proceed.
  14. 14
    Hide behind the wall and lure the patrolling bandit on the other side of the train tracks; take him down. Do the same with the bandit near the wagon. Grab one tied guard and proceed.
  15. 15
    In an area with two openings guarded by enemies, first deal with the Poncho near the zip line. Leave a tied guard in the area, get cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) near the wall, and whistle to make him turn around and see the guard. Once he gets close, take him down.
  16. 16
    Leave the downed guard a little far from the wall and lure the guard on the road. Take cover behind a piece of the wall and take him down.
  17. 17
    Near the shack, blind the two guards talking and walk near the opening to leave footprints in the sand. The Gunman sitting on the chair will investigate; take him down. Wait for the patrolling Poncho to stop looking for him.
  18. 18
    Wait until the Poncho leaves the spot and blind the two guards with a perfume vial to provide cover for Hector to advance to the house. Stay hidden until the Poncho passes, then take him down.
  19. 19
    Take down the patrolling Poncho by jumping on him. Leave the tied guard near the ladders and whistle to lure the Gunman on the wall. Hide in the house and take him down when he gets close.
  20. 20
    Climb the roof of the house and walk through the wooden platform. Lure and take down the bandit in the corner next to the house without the Gunwoman noticing. Whistle to lure him, enter the house, and take him down. Defeat the Gunwoman and return to the platforms.
  21. 21
    Leave a guard tied and whistle to make the Poncho on the sniping point see him. Hide in the trapdoor and wait until he gets close to the tied guard and take him down.
  22. 22
    Blind the two guards talking and advance with Kate. Hide her in the house. When the guards recover their vision, they will see the footprints and the tied guard. Wait for them to get close and attack both at the same time.
  23. 23
    Throw a body to lure the guard to the corner of the house and take her down. Climb up the ladder and whistle to lure the Gunwoman near the dead tree. Jump down and take her down. Use the same strategy to defeat the civilian.
  24. 24
    To defeat the enemies in the building with the Hidden Dev, send Kate to the building and hide in the trapdoor. Climb up the stairs and wait until the Gunman looks the other way, then defeat Ramona the Dirty. Defeat the Gunman and throw both bodies into the trapdoor.
  25. 25
    With Hector, whistle to wake up the guard and lure him to investigate the noise. Once the guard is out of enemy sight, defeat him.
  26. 26
    Get behind the house where the Long Coat is located and whistle to lure the Gunwoman. Be careful with enemies on the other side. Coordinate an attack to take down the Long Coat and the Poncho on the wall. After that, take down the bandit on the wagon.
  27. 27
    To complete the challenge of not killing anyone, lure the two bandits talking next to the train tracks. Leave a body near the bushes and whistle so they come to investigate. Once they reach the tied guard, defeat them. Grab the guards and throw them to clear the wagon's path, then push the wagon to block the train tracks.
  28. 28
    If you have followed this path, you can skip the next section and proceed to Getting to the train.
  29. 29
    To use the cattle to block the train tracks:
  30. 30
    This path takes you through the right side of the map and will cause you to fail the challenge of not crossing the train tracks.
  31. 31
    Go to the right side of the tracks and hide behind the debris.
  32. 32
    As soon as the train passes, defeat the Long Coat and hide his body.
