You begin Every Man for Himself by visiting the Ishiusu Basin. As you go about riding into this area on your horse, you’ll be shot from a distance and fall off your horse. A little further up, you’ll spot a man hiding by a rock. Walk up to him, and you’ll see that he’s been shot, too. He’ll cry out to you, stating that he can’t walk and needs help. Finish your conversation with him to begin the quest.

The shots are coming from uphill, and the wounded man warns that there are quite a few people up there. The view uphill is blocked by a cloud of smoke, so you can’t really hope to fight from a distance. Pick up the sword by the wounded man, and head uphill from the right. 

Move from rock to rock, using each one as cover. As you go a bit further up, you’ll spot a few enemies hiding behind the rock. Kill all of these enemies, but be wary of the rifleman up top. Fight them off, but do not stay still. Stay moving to avoid the shots. Once they’re dead, stick to the right and continue uphill. 

All the way up, you’ll find an enemy encampment with the rifleman standing guard. Kill all the enemies around him and finish him off when he’s alone. Kill him and examine his body. While you’re doing so, the wounded man from earlier will reappear, now in perfect health. He’ll reveal that he was never injured and only needed help getting rid of these men to acquire their loot. He’ll then split the loot with you, bringing the quest to a close.
