Mission Overview
Arthur and the gang must destroy the gun batteries on the coast and rescue the ship captain, in order to leave the island.

Story
While Bill is left to guard the recovering Javier Escuella, Arthur, Micah and Dutch go with Hercule Fontaine to destroy the gun batteries that would prevent their escape. After the gun batteries are sabotaged, Arthur goes to to rescue the ship captain from the workers’ cabin but, upon entry, he is tackled and held at gunpoint by Levi Simon, who is then held at gunpoint by Dutch who is, in turn, held at gunpoint by Fussar, resulting in a stand-off. Arthur kicks the ship captain a rifle, who shoots Simon in the chest, killing him but allowing Fussar to escape. Fussar subsequently mans a Gatling Gun from the top of a tower, but Arthur shoots a cannonball at it, killing Fussar instantly. With every attempt to prevent them from leaving Guarma having been thwarted, the five gang members set sail for America.

Notes
Starting with this mission, Arthur's eyes become slightly bloodshot, and remain that way for the rest of the game while he is playable.
This mission title is kind of a parody of the 17th century poem Paradise Lost by John Milton.
At 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.
Background Music Played in the Mission
