This will be one of your hardest rewards in the game, as it involves a constant series of puzzles and combat challenges. To defeat James Stevenson, you must first find a way to get into his shelter, and then go through a whole new world with a little helper.
How to get to James Stevenson's Penthouse
After you trigger James Stevenson's bounty, you must first get to Arcadia and use the tracker to get to his shelter, where you will be denied entry. Exit the shelter and you will see a giant truck nearby. Use Travis and Jan's levitate ability to send this truck upand then you can use the mattress nearby to jump onto it.
Beyond this point, use your skateboard and tracker to follow the path until you get stuck in an area again. In this area, when you use the trace option, you'll see a large structure highlight in the middle. From here, you will need to activate these structures move beyond certain areas.
At the first structure, you can jump onto the shed between the benches near the highlighted structure and then press the button above it to activate the bridge. Carry the bridge to the other side where you will encounter another puzzle. Here you can simply activate the green colored flower by shooting it to create a platform that can be used to jump over.
In the next part, start by hitting the green flower in front of the fan that you can clearly hear nearby. Jump onto the platform created and then use Sweezy's ability on the fan to slow it downwhich allows you to pass. You can activate the button inside to open the bridge in this area.
Next, activate the second platform and use it to go around to the created bridgewhich allows you to progress further. Keep using the flowers to get higher until you reach the next puzzle.
You can start the next puzzle by hitting the green flower high up in the area, which will open a door nearby. Go through this door, activate the switch on the right and then use the blob in the left room to get higher. Use Sweezy's ability to slow down the fan here and get through, allowing you to cross the bridge.
In the next area, activate the nearby platform and then use it Gus' ability on the wall nearby with orange spots. This will allow you to get further up and into the last puzzle you have to solve before reaching James Stevenson's shelter.
You can start in this area by slowing down the fan on the right and taking the blob inside. Give this blob by the wall where you can see a small window with goop all around it the one above. Then shoot the structure in the middle until the two blue cells are both on the right side.
Finally, pull out the Sheath and use its ability to connect the generator starting point to the two cells and then to the blob.

What to do in James Stevenson's Penthouse?
In James' penthouse, the main puzzle revolves around the two giant paintings you see in the area. However, if you want some extra tradition, you can head to on the right side of the room and interact with the phone on the table. Once you've done that, you'll need to head inside the two paintings and get a book from each.
You can simply bump into the images and be teleported. Here's what you need to do in them:
-
One image takes you to the washroom where you can easily pick up the book from the shelf nearby and go back outside. You can also open the locked door and come back right after to get the easter egg.
-
For the second painting, you have to wait for the dialogue to end, and then you can pick up the book on the main table.
Once you have both books, put them on the shelf to the right of the fireplace and you'll find a third painting that will take you to the main area for this reward.
How to reach James Stevenson
After you pass the last painting, follow the straight path until you hit a dark cave and keep going forward. You will reach the area where you will have to defeat a few enemies and free a little friend. Once you defeat the enemies, you can ask Apples about various battle lore and he will then help you through the maze.
When you're done with the dialogue, the apples will be placed next to the dark exit you should go through. again, keep forward once you enter the dark part. The correct order of exits after this is as follows:
-
The road straight ahead where you enter the second area.
-
The path on the left near where the apples float.
-
Path to the right.
Then you will reach Prisemeria where you can cross the river slowing drifting tribes with Sweezy's ability. Then you can use the blob to get to the higher platform on the right where you'll find a Luglox and then jump over. Once again, to get over the waterfall, you'll need to slow down the falling logs.
Continue around this area and defeat the enemies and slowing down the logs every time you go past the waterfall. When you're higher up, you'll also need to use Sheath's ability to get over one section of the waterfall, followed by Gus' ability in the orange area go further up.
Once you get through all the fights, you'll finally get to the town where the guards will be to stop you and tell you that apples are bad apples. You can choose any option here, but if you choose to trust the Apples instead, it can help you later in this story, as well as the final reward.
After you reach the city, you have to follow the trackers until you reach the gallows. On your way here, you'll find plenty of Luglox inside houses and hidden areas. Getting them all is highly recommended. When you are near the execution area, you will need to use Gus' ability on the generator cells nearby open the door.

Once you are in the execution area, your main goal will be to stop it in order to attract the wizard. You will have two ways to do this. First, you can try it convince the three citizens that the execution is wrong and it will be easier later, or secondly, you may not convince them and it will be harder later.
To convince these citizens, here are all the options you should choose:

Regardless of whether or not you succeed in convincing the crowd, after that you'll have to free Bowie yourselfwhich makes James Stevenson appear. You then have to use your tracker to go through a series of platforms and defeat enemies. If you see something blocking your way with strange markings, you can use Bowie's ability and shoot the marker through it to get past.
When you go through the path and reach the Blue Wizard's castle, he will come to you and start taking a quiz. However, you can completely ignore this and use Bowie's ability to strange marks on top left and top right gates. This will allow you to get inside and reach the final fight.

To start this fight you will need to use Bowie's ability when targeting the wizard's location reveal another strange mark. Hit this mark and the fight begins.
During this fight, you'll need to use Bowie's ability to detect the giant wizard's weak spots and hit them, causing him to reveal an orb inside. Hitting this orb will take away the wizard's health. You he can still hit weak spots without Bowie's abilitybut it will be much harder.
During this fight you can use the pillars in the battle area to avoid most wizard attacks.
