The Joys of Civilization
After the battle of Shady Belle, Arthur must focus on heading to the Bastille Saloon to find his boss Dutch van Der Linde, chase a thief for him, and then report to command.
The whole process will take around 10-15 minutes, depending on how you play this out. There is no need for weapons in this mission, so you don’t need to stack up before you play this mission.
If you find the street urchin before he reaches the market, you get the first part of the Gold Medal. Similarly, if you complete the whole mission in under five minute 30 seconds, you will earn the other medal.
Head to the highlighted area and you will meet good sire Dutch outside the Bastille Saloon. If he doesn’t come, call the bartender until you complete your objective. Apparently, you are going to find a thief.
Go outside and make your way to the nearby alley. You will see the children you are looking for there.
No, it’s not something illegal, I promise. You must follow the children until a cutscene is triggered. As soon as the cutscene finishes, chase the suspected child as fast as you can.
Look for the kid in the highlighted area, as soon as he gets off the trolley. Chase him until you end up in a barred up door, kick it open and give chase once again.
You will find your thief in the market if you ask around. You will have to chase him then too. After the good chase and the cutscene at the end, return to Dutch near the saloon. This mission is now complete.

If you encounter the dog and the drunk during this mission, not getting spotted by the law even once in the mission and finishing with 11 minutes with four headshots will get you a Gold Medal. So much work for such a petty thing, don’t you think?
Meet both sir Dutch and John Marston outside Bronte’s mansion, on the steps. A cutscene will trigger. After the cutscene, follow John to the cemetery. You must find the source of the disturbance. Investigate the area to reveal the grave robbers.
