Strategy and tips:
If you have followed my guide, it is helpful if you sleep at the camp, and eat some big game seasoned with thyme and mint before starting the previous mission "Our Best Selves". This will give you gold cores, which should last into this mission as well, which autostarts from the previous, but you can't eat the big game during this mission, or you will fail the objective for not taking any health items. This will help massively, especially for the sniper section where you cannot leave the scope view to use a Dead Eye Tonic.
The good news with this one is that the gold objectives you are most likely to fail on are right at the start for once. So if you stuff them up, simply cancel the mission and try again. Before you climb to the very top of the lighthouse, take the best Snake Oil and best Bitters you have to get a Dead Eye and Stamina boost as they will help with these.
The first objective is to get 7 headshots whilst covering Sadie with the sniper rifle. The problem is you can't back out of the sniper view to take another tonic, hence why taking one before you start is a good idea. Knowing where the enemies are is key - if you're too slow Sadie will off a few, or get killed herself, so follow the order of takedowns shown. Get a headshot without Dead Eye on one of the first two guys standing still. then use Dead Eye to make sure of the remaining 6 you need. Aim manually to get close, then only activate Dead Eye to line up with the head before pulling the trigger, and quickly deactivate it. This will save your meter from depleting before you've got them all.
After this, you have to reach the building where Sadie is captured in 1 minute and it's incredibly tight. Make sure you run around the back of the building as shown, this is where the Bitters come in, allowing you to run at full pelt without running out of stamina. Only take aim at a couple of guys who will be directly in your path, but you don't have time for anything else. If you follow the route shown, you should make it with a couple of seconds to spare. Tag both the guys with Dead Eye before firing or they will kill you causing you to fail.
Beyond that, it points it is pretty easy. Go for body shots with pistols and you should get 70% accuracy with no problems.
You have a choice to make. I choose to go back for the money. It doesn't feel like the choice Arthur would make, and it is harder, with more bad guys to face, but it is also more dramatic, and you'll get to give Micah an impressive scar. Also as I have max honor before starting, I still get the "good" variant of this ending.
In the final fight with him be patient and concentrate on blocking him, and eventually, you'll land the hit that scars him. When he jumps on you, hit the tooltip button to break free and you've completed Chapter 6.
