Follow our guide to complete the 'Preaching Forgiveness as he Went' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2, including Gold Medal requirements and tips for accuracy and speed.

Alright, partner, ready to tackle another mission with Lenny? After finishing up 'An Honest Mistake,' head back to camp and chat with Lenny. He's got a new job for us, and it involves a bit of history and a whole lot of shooting. If you're aiming for that shiny Gold Medal, you'll need to be quick, accurate, and avoid using any health items. Let's get to it!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, hop on your horse and ride with Lenny to the mission marker. You'll end up at an old Civil War battlefield. Make your way to the Abandoned Church there. Once you arrive, take a moment to examine the church with Arthur – he'll sketch it in his journal, which is always a nice touch.
  2. 2
    After that, keep an eye out for a wagon passing by. Follow it, and it'll lead you to the old plantation house Lenny mentioned earlier. When you get close, ditch your horses in the trees nearby – we don't want them drawing attention.
  3. 3
    Now, it's time to gear up. Grab the Rolling Block Rifle you'll find stashed away. Head towards the plantation house and find a good spot near an entrance to take cover.
  4. 4
    You've got a choice on how to kick things off: you can either shoot some dynamite to start the chaos, or you can send Lenny in to create a distraction. For this guide, let's go with Lenny creating the distraction. It usually draws a few of those Lemoyne Raiders out into the open.
  5. 5
    Once Lenny's got their attention, it's your turn. Aim down the scope of your rifle and start taking them out. Remember, you've only got 11 minutes and 30 seconds to wrap this whole thing up for the Gold Medal, so speed and accuracy are key. Don't forget to use Dead Eye – it's a lifesaver for lining up those crucial headshots. Keep an eye on your radar too, so you don't get surprised by any Raiders sneaking up on you.
  6. 6
    About halfway through the fight, keep an eye out for one of the Raiders who'll make his way onto the balcony of the house and start using a Gatling gun. You absolutely need to take him out ASAP to avoid taking a ton of damage.
  7. 7
    Once the area is finally clear of enemies, make your way over to the cart in the courtyard. Examine the back of it, and you'll find some new rifles stashed there.
  8. 8
    Now, hop onto the wagon and start heading back to camp. You won't get far before three more mounted Raiders show up to cause trouble. Quickly activate Dead Eye again and take them down. Once they're dealt with, gallop back to camp to finish the mission.
Tips for Gold Medal
  • Accuracy is King: Aim for headshots whenever possible, especially when using Dead Eye. The mission requires at least 70% accuracy.
  • Speed Run: Keep moving and don't linger. The 11 minute 30 second time limit is strict. Use your horse to get around quickly between objectives.
  • No Health Items: This means you need to play smart and avoid taking unnecessary damage. Use cover effectively and prioritize targets that pose the biggest threat.
  • Long Scoped Rifle Kills: Make sure you're getting those 10 Lemoyne Raider kills with your scoped rifle. The Rolling Block is perfect for this.
