Story[]
John Marston meets with a nervous Luisa Fortuna to discuss the future of the revolution. Luisa's father has been killed for treason, and she wants Marston to help fight in the revolution. Colonel Agustin Allende is sending reinforcements and supplies to fight against the rebels, and Abraham Reyes has asked that John stop them.
Walkthrough[]
Mission Prerequisites[]
Before this mission becomes available, the player must complete:
- Vincente de Santa mission: "Cowards Die Many Times"; and
- Luisa Fortuna mission: "Must a Savior Die?"
Mission Objectives[]
To complete this mission, the player must:
- Accompany Luisa Fortuna to Frontera Bridge.
- Direct the demolition team where to place the dynamite charges.
- Take out the wagon's drivers or blow up the wagons.
- Kill any soldiers that have managed to survive.
Mission Details[]
Get in the wagon with Luisa and either skip to destination or wait. Marston learns that she wants to use dynamite to destroy the supplies and kill the reinforcements.
Marston will be able to direct the rebels to place dynamite on the road. The best way to do this is to stand beneath the Frontera Bridge, facing northeast, away from Escalera. Walk 5-10 paces from the bridge and place a charge. Then, continuing down the centre of the road, place charges every 15 paces. Head up to the detonator on the ridge once the player has marked all 5 spots. Once there, ready it and wait for the convoy. There will be two wagons and a few soldiers on horseback. When using the detonator Luisa will prompt Marston when to strike, but her prompts are not always accurate, and it is better to blast them when the player feels they are in the right spot. Make sure you manage to take out the drivers as the rebels will likely be able to deal with the men on horseback. If the player misses any of the horses or wagons, a Rolling Block (or a repeater/rifle) can be used to shoot the driver/rider.
After a quick thank you, Luisa promises to repay the favor before leaving Marston.

- Assaults or kills Luisa.

Casualties[]
Tips[]
- If the player takes out the wagon's drivers instead of detonating the explosives, the rebels and John will be able to easily pick off the rest of the men; this is especially useful for getting the mission's Gold Medal.
Trivia[]
- This mission title is kind of a reference to the Biblical Abraham, who is referred to as the "father of many nations".
- John mentions the name of his son Jack for the first time in this mission, during the travel with Luisa.
- When Marston explains to Luisa about how revolutions are, he says that "there're guns and money but there is no freedom". This is foreshadowed that in 1914 after overthrowing President Sanchez, Abraham proves to be no better than him as the evidence on the newspaper states after the first Mexican Revolution.
- John's comment about not wanting his son to become a man like himself foreshadows the events of "Remember My Family", where Jack ultimately does become like John as he begins his life as an outlaw, after avenging his father's death three years prior.
Bugs[]
- There is a common bug in the beginning of this level where the game will freeze just before the men hiding behind the rocks come out. It becomes necessary to turn off the console and restart it. (Confirmed on Xbox 360.)
- Another bug is when the carriages carrying the army will not move. The player can just take out all enemies on foot.
- Sometimes when blowing the charges as the convoy passes, Luisa will make negative comments, such as "I thought you said you were good with explosives!" even if you land a direct explosion. (Found on PS3)
- A bug can occur when attempting to start the mission, when initiating the mission the loading screen will fail to load. The only way to fix this is to restart the game. (Confirmed on PS3)
- Another glitch occurs just before manning the detonator, Luisa will start running around in circles, which is quite entertaining.
Goofs[]
- During the opening cutscene, when John's weapons are taken by the the rebel soldiers they are never seen given back, yet, when the cutscene is over, he has them.
