How to unlock the Magruder's Mine Complete achievement in Gun - Definitive Guide
PART 1) Run around facing him and throw dynamite at the green gas gizers to make them blow up while he is standing next to them. Don't even bother shotting him at this point just keep tossing the dynamite.
If you run out of dynamite there is some the respawns on the ground. If you have the dynamite bow with ammo this will work too. This takes time and patience.
PART 2) Hide either on the left or right size by the outer rocks that are shaped like a U. If you face through the U toward Magruder in the middle part of the U he will shot but not hit you.
Take your rifle and carefully hit him in the head (this can only require 1 shot if you hit him right) . Then wait for him to throw dynamite and use quick draw to blow the dynamite up at the pillars and rocks above him.
Sometimes a few henchmen will spawn behind and above you. Focus on them right away or they will kick your butt. If you take some damage you may want to pick up some respawning whiskey. After that just head back to the sweat spot by the outer rocks.
Once you find the sweat spot by the outer rocks this is pretty straight forward it just takes some time for the rocks to blow up.
Part 1:
Now, because the NPC's are pretty dumb you get to do everything (thoughtful right) so dismount the cannon, flick the switch and get back on, continue onwards into the depths of the mines. As you progress, there'll be a few more times which require you to change switches, do so when you need to and don't be afraid to dismount the cannon at other times too if needed due to low health or if you decide that quickdraw or a rifle is better suited to a situation, I was safely able to stay on the cannon for the majority of the killing. Also, make sure that you watch out for enemies mounted on gatling guns as these can whittle away your health extremely fast even on easy, so make these your top priority followed by TNT barrels.
Eventually you'll reach an area where the cannon stops and you have to protect your allies from waves of enemies that come from various directions. At first this may seem daunting but these enemies are weak as always and can easily be killed using quickdraw or just a plain shot, and to your aid there is quite a bit of whisky laying around in this area. After roughly half a dozen waves of enemies, the cannon will be set to get back on course and you can proceed, destroy the blockage up ahead and you'll be left all alone after a cut-scene. From this location you don't have a particularly long way to travel to find Magruder which is handy as some of these enemies can be a pain due to their cover, but just continue towards the marker on the mini-map and before long you'll reach the final battle (well the first half) of the game.
So, here's Magruder and he's impervious to bullets, well that's no fun! At first glance this battle seems quite difficult but it is really quite simple and you only need your trusty dynamite bow for the first half. You'll immediately notice that he throws dynamite at you repeatedly which you should dodge if possible as shooting them leaves you somewhat open. Now, the trick to beating Magruder is that you have to shoot the geysers on the floor (they spew out gas) with the dynamite bow, but you have to get the timing right as he needs to run over them as they explode. To do this aim to hit them about 1-2 seconds before he walks over them and you should hit him fine, rinse and repeat until he moves up to the ledge.
Now, for the second part of the fight you have to destroy the stalagmites by destroying the dynamite when it's close to them, in total this should take 3 successful dynamite explosions. There's a way in which you can essentially make yourself unhittable as the rock that you take cover from will prevent his gun shells from hitting you and if you place yourself correctly you can still hit the dynamite. This rock is located slightly to the right of where you start this section and has a 'V' shaped part to it. If you line yourself up with the said 'V' shape and just walk backwards a little bit you should be able to shoot Magruder (the cursor thing will be red). After you shoot him a couple times he should stagger and then he'll throw his dynamite, as soon as you see the dynamite use quickdraw and destroy it as it's near ceiling height.
This is story related and cannot be missed. As soon as the mission begins get onto the cannon and destroy the gatling guns in the windows, then kill any enemies on the ground. Once they are dead you will need to progress through this first area killing everybody as you go. When you come to the mine door use the cannon to blast it open, now you will just need to make your way through the mine, killing everyone as you go, eventually you will reach a turntable and you need to hold off the enemies until your men have finished turning it, as soon as the turntable is in position get back on the cannon and eventually a cut scene will occur. Next you will need to make you way through the next part of the mine on foot, and you can use the TNT barrels to your advantage, once you reach Magruder a cut scene will occur and when it ends you will need to kill him, use the Dynamite Bow, or just normal Dynamite to cause the gas pockets to explode when Magruder is near them, do this enough times and he will retreat up onto a ledge, use your rifle and shoot him in the head, and he will then throw a large cluster of Dynamite at you, use quick draw to destroy it and shake the cavern, do this enough times and the achievement is yours, Congratulations you have completed the game.
