First of all use the cart to travel to Ridgewood. The journey will be quite long. Fortunately, you won't be attacked. Leave the vehicle near the farm #1 and go there normally (you cannot enter this town with an old man, citizens will be very suspicious then). When he will be presenting his elixir, you will have to drink it and demonstrate that it is effective. At the beginning shoot the skull located near the building #2 (glowing point).
For some guys in the crowd that won't be enough, you will have to shoot a hat thrown into the air #1. This will be quite simple, slow the time with your Dead Eye, target the hat and shoot. After a while Aquila will attack you - defeat him without a gun #2. Join him as fast as you can.
It is not the end. He will stand up and draw his weapon. Use Dead Eye and target his gun #1 to disarm him #2.
