Revenge is Best Served Cold is one of the harder main quests in Windrose, where you'll come across a difficult enemy. This is the same mission where you'll go up against Thomas Richards, which is a fight of magnitude.
But let's first look at how to complete all the steps before the boss fight so that you can advance along the main story.

Windrose Revenge is Best Served Cold quest walkthrough
Find four Black Marks
The first task requires you to find four Black Marks. To find the first one, reach the Blackbeard Outpost in Ancient Ruins. Clear the enemies that you find there, with one of them having a "Key" symbol on top of their head. They will drop the key when they die. Reach the nearby stairs, and you'll find a Richards' Crew chest to open. This chest will provide you with the first mark.
The second mark is at the same outpost. Look for an area lit by fire, and you'll find few enemies. You'll find a chest at the location that contains another mark.
The remaining two were also located at the same location, with one of them hidden in a separate area from the remaining three. Look for the corners of the chests that will glow in the dark. The exact location could differ for you as it's procedurally generated.
Infiltrate Thomas Richards' camp
Your next task is to visit Richards' main camp. The location will be marked on the map. Keep traveling until you reach the shoreline, and then proceed through the jungle. You'll eventually reach a camp that will be barricaded by a wooden fence.
Defeat all the enemies you face and approach the hideout's main entrance. Head inside and defeat the remaining enemies. Eventually, this will lead you to a wooden gate, and Thomas Richards will be waiting for you.
Defeat Thomas Richards
Thomas Richards felt easier to deal with compared to Israel Hands. However, he yields a two-handed weapon, and you'll need to get hit. He also has grenades that can drain your health with a couple of blasts. To defeat Richards, you'll need to ace your defensive game. Dodging the incoming attacks is crucial for your survival.
Don't go on the offense, and wait for him to attack. Once he misses, there will be brief windows when you'll be able to attack him. The process might feel monotonous, but it's the safest way to defeat the boss without dying during the process.
Richards also tends to rush towards you. When he does that, just run in the opposite direction until you're at a safe distance. If you die, you can start from the end of the second task by simply fast-traveling to the camp. Defeat Richards, and you'll have completed Revenge is Best Served Cold.
