Weird West: How To Win The Slap Game

thegamer.com:

The wacky, unforgiving world of WolfEye Studios' Weird West is crammed with oddities to explore. Playing through the overlapping stories of five playable characters, you must traverse harsh and possibly hostile territories to complete main missions, earn money or reputation points with side quests, and develop new Perks and Abilities using collectibles gathered along the way.

Aside from sirens, wraiths, and the formidable Pigmen, one of the strangest characters you will stumble across during your journey is the Heathen Witch.

She is a mysterious figure, omniscient, and implicitly powerful, and after your third or fourth random encounter with her, she will challenge you to a frustrating game of Slap Me If You Can. This is a game that the player is bound to lose, but there is one way to pull it off.

Here is the kicker: none of the given options work. Whether you slap her right to left or left to right with your backhand first, the Heathen wins the contest and leaves you empty-handed and red in the face.

Though futile unless you have the Amulet of the Open Palm equipped, feel free to ask for a rematch; it doesn't cost anything but your pride.

With this amulet equipped, you will have an additional fifth option when the Witch comes a-calling:

Selecting the final option results in a victory, and you get to choose a reward from a chest. The contents of the chest are randomised for each player, however, with the most coveted prize being a Golden Ace card used to upgrade those Perks.

Thankfully, the legendary-class amulet is easy to locate at any point in the game.
