How to Save Abi and Emma in The Quarry: A Comprehensive Guide
Saving Abigail (Abi) and Emma in The Quarry requires careful decision-making and quick reactions throughout the game. Neither character is guaranteed to survive, but with the right choices, you can ensure they both make it to the end. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to safeguard these two beloved camp counselors:
For Abi: Abi’s survival hinges on two crucial moments. First, she needs to survive her initial encounter with Nick, which occurs when he transforms into a werewolf. This is the biggest danger that she will encounter. Second, if Emma is infected, Abi needs to make the correct decision when Emma is chasing her in the basement in chapter 10. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Chapter 6: During Nick’s transformation into a werewolf, he will violently throw Abi across the room. Immediately afterwards, you MUST pick up the shotgun and shoot Nick. This action is the only way to prevent Nick from killing Abi in this moment. If you fail to shoot Nick, he will slam Abi against the wall, and rip her head off, resulting in her death. This is the first major moment for Abby’s survival.
- Chapter 10: During the final werewolf battle in the basement, if Emma is infected she will attempt to attack Abi. You must shoot Emma to save Abi. If you don’t shoot Emma in the short time given, she will chase down and kill Abi. Shooting Emma is the second major moment for Abi’s survival.
For Emma: Emma’s survival is tied to a werewolf encounter in Chapter 4. Her fate depends on finding a crucial item and making the right moves. Here’s what you need to do:
- Chapter 4: When exploring the cabin, look in the bag before opening the trapdoor. Inside the bag, Emma will find a taser. If you open the trapdoor first, Emma will be attacked and will have her throat ripped out, resulting in a death. The taser is essential to survival.
- Chapter 4 (cont.): When the werewolf attacks, Emma needs to use the ziplines correctly to avoid its attacks. Successfully using the ziplines will enable her to make it through the encounter alive. This, combined with finding the taser, will allow her to survive.
- Chapter 10: If Emma is infected, she will be a danger to Abi in the basement. In this instance, Abi will need to shoot Emma in order to survive. If Emma is not infected in chapter 10, then this part of the game will not affect her survivial.
By following these steps diligently, you can ensure both Abi and Emma survive their harrowing night at Hackett’s Quarry. Let’s dive deeper into some common questions players have about saving these two characters.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some common questions about saving Abi and Emma, along with detailed answers:
1. What Happens if Abi Doesn’t Shoot Nick?
If Abi fails to shoot Nick in Chapter 6 after he throws her across the room, he will slam her against the wall and rip her head off. This is a crucial moment for her survival, and missing this opportunity means instant death for Abi.
2. Can Abi Become a Werewolf?
No, Abi is one of the three characters (along with Ryan and Kaitlyn) who cannot turn into a werewolf, regardless of whether she is bitten. Unlike characters like Max, Nick, Laura, Emma, Dylan, and Jacob, who can all be infected and transform, Abi remains human throughout the game. She can, however, still be infected and have the infection be healed later.
3. What Happens if Emma Opens the Trapdoor First?
If Emma opens the trapdoor before checking the bag in Chapter 4, she will be immediately attacked by a werewolf. The attack is lethal, and will rip out her throat, causing instant death for Emma. Looking in the bag is essential to her survival.
4. How Does Emma Get Infected?
Emma can be infected during her encounter with the werewolf in Chapter 4. Specifically, if she fails to push the cabinet while getting to the trapdoor or fails a quick-time event while climbing the ladder, the werewolf will bite her arm or leg respectively, leading to her infection.
5. Does Abi Have to Kiss Nick?
No, Abi does not have to kiss Nick. The decision to kiss Nick or not is entirely up to the player. If you choose not to kiss him initially, you’ll get some more dialogue between Abi and Nick, allowing players to further explore their relationship, and you can still choose to kiss him later. The relationship status of Abi and Nick does not affect her survivial.
6. Does Abi Like Emma?
Yes, Abi deeply cherishes her friendship with Emma. She lets her guard down around Emma, revealing her insecurities and admitting that her confidence is often an act. Their relationship is a key part of Abi’s character and story arc.
7. What Happens if Abi Takes the Toy?
If Abi keeps the rabbit toy, she will eventually lose it when she leaves her bag in the lodge kitchen. Later in the game, during Kaitlyn’s fight with a werewolf in the lodge, it’s possible to get cornered in the same kitchen. This doesn’t directly affect her survival but adds to the game’s rich detail.
8. Does Emma Have to Kiss Nick?
Emma doesn’t have to kiss Nick. It’s a choice players can make and she can choose to kiss him or Jacob. Her kissing of Nick leads to a jealous rage from Jacob, and is a story mechanic for further character development. This kiss is not important for either Emma or Abi’s survivial, and does not affect their individual stories.
9. What Happens if Dylan Goes Down the Trapdoor?
If Dylan enters the trapdoor in the basement, he will look around and find nothing of significance. On his way back up, he will loosen a rung of the ladder. This action can have implications for later events in the game, but does not affect either Abi or Emma.
10. What Happens if Abi Dies?
If Abi dies early in the game, the impact is significant. If Kaitlyn and Dylan don’t make it out of the scrapyard later on, and Abi and Emma die earlier, then nobody will be at the lodge for the final werewolf battle. Furthermore, only Kaitlyn can take on the boss. If she is not there, then Laura will be in danger.
11. Should I Help Abi or Dive in?
In the early game, you’ll be given a choice to help Abi or dive in. If you help Abi, Jacob doesn’t find her until she’s back with the group, and if you dive in, Emma will assume you abandoned her and swim away. This choice does not affect either Abi or Emma’s survival directly.
12. Is Nick the Hardest Character to Save?
While Nick is arguably one of the toughest characters to keep alive, it is still possible to save him. While Nick’s survival is difficult, players can ensure he is cured if they follow the required steps throughout the game, such as keeping him alive through Abi’s shotgun shot. His survival is not as linked with the choices of Emma and Abi as their survival is linked to their individual choices.
13. Who is the Werewolf that Bites Nick?
Nick is bitten by Werewolf Caleb in Chapter 3, which is a plot point that cannot be avoided. This bite is what begins his transformation into a werewolf.
14. Should Jacob Throw Dirt?
No, Jacob should not throw dirt. Instead, by refraining from throwing dirt, Bobby will smear wolf blood on Jacob’s face. The wolf blood will prevent Jacob from being fatally attacked by other werewolves, ensuring Jacob’s survival in the later encounters.
15. What Happens if Abi is Bitten?
Abi can be bitten in the neck during the first werewolf attack while trying to get help for Nick. However, despite being bitten, her wound will later heal, and she never becomes a werewolf. She will however, be covered in blood.
By understanding these crucial choices and actions, players can ensure that both Abi and Emma survive the night at Hackett’s Quarry, and have their individual stories be fully explored. Remember to always be vigilant, be quick, and be decisive in your gameplay. Good luck!
