Player notes
As Hell Hath No Fury ends, Bill Williamson remains at Manicato to guard the wounded Javier Escuella. Arthur Morgan joins Dutch van der Linde, Micah Bell and Hercule Fontaine on a push against Alberto Fussar's coastal defenses. They slip past the first sentries and plant explosives on the gun batteries that would stop any ship leaving Guarma. The charges destroy the guns, but soldiers converge on the group as they advance through the coast and the fields beyond.
Arthur, Dutch, Micah and Hercule fight toward the compound where Fussar is holding Captain Levi Simon. After clearing the guards outside, Arthur enters the captain's building alone. Levi tackles him and holds him at gunpoint. Dutch draws on Levi, then Fussar enters and trains his weapon on Dutch. Arthur kicks a rifle across the floor to Levi, who shoots his own captor in the chest. Fussar escapes the room while Arthur and Dutch lead the captain out.
The group escorts Levi down the road toward the shore, cutting through Fussar's remaining men. Fussar takes control of a Gatling Gun in a tower overlooking their route. Arthur reaches a cannon and fires on the tower, bringing it down and killing Fussar. At the water, Arthur, Dutch, Micah and Levi part from Hercule before boarding a boat. With Guarma behind them, they set sail across the Caribbean Sea for America.
Trivia
- โThis mission title is kind of a parody of the 17th century poem Paradise Lost and its sequel book Paradise Regained by John Milton.
- โStarting with this mission, Arthur's eyes become slightly bloodshot, and remain that way for the rest of the game while he is playable. His "Wellbeing" status also shows "Unwell", reducing Arthur's Core regeneration rates by 5%.
- โIf the player had a different weapon in the long-arm back slot during "Hell Hath No Fury", it will be replaced with a Bolt Action Rifle for this mission.
- โAt the end of the mission, as the Van der Linde gang return to America via the Van Horn Trading Post, Arthur tells them, "It feels like... like our luck has turned... you know... and it ain't turning back", a line he recalls later in "A Fork in the Road" if his Honor is low.
- โAt the end of the previous mission, "Hell Hath No Fury", the map will display a marker for this mission given by Bill Williamson. However, the mission will begin automatically, making the marker useless.
- โWhen Arthur is knocked down by Levi and Fussar enters the room, Dutch pulls out both his revolvers and is locked in a Mexican standoff. This happens again later.
