Step-by-Step: How to Complete the Patrick Bounty
Step 1 — Unlock Pailune First
The Patrick Bounty can be found in the City of Pailune, one of the areas you get access to quite late into the game’s main story. Once you liberate the region of Pailune, you will be able to freely access bounties in the area. Don’t try to rush this — you need to progress the story first.
Step 2 — Find & Grab the Bounty Poster
Similar to other outlaw notice posters, the spawn is random, and you can find the poster in various places near the main city of Pailune. Look for purple scroll icons on your minimap — these mark bounty posters on posts and bulletin boards throughout the city.
Step 3 — Read the Poster
Once you pick up the poster, read it carefully. The poster describes an outlaw called Patrick, who is guilty of being a drunk pickpocket. Once you are done reading, you will get a marker on your map displaying Patrick’s location.
Step 4 — Find Patrick
Generally, Patrick can be found in the southern part of Pailune City. Just head to the marked location and you will find the pickpocket drunk and out of his mind. Honestly, at this point he’s barely a threat.
Step 5 — Capture Him
You will be able to tackle and capture him easily. Make sure to keep punching him till you get the prompt to tie him up. This is standard bounty hunting gameplay — tackle, punch three times, then restrain.
Step 6 — Deliver to Jail
Once you capture him, call your horse and take him to the jail in the Pailune region. Getting close to the jail will start a cutscene where the guards will take the bounty target off your hands, and you will receive your reward.
Reward: 4 Coins — quick, clean, and satisfying. 🪙
Pro Tips to Remember
- Don’t kill Patrick — delivering him alive earns the full reward. Killing gives only half.
- Stick to main roads on horseback when transporting — avoid enemy-heavy areas or your prisoner might fall off.
- Call your horse immediately after tying him up, as carrying someone on foot is painfully slow.
