Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After finishing 'The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo', you will receive a message to start 'The Beast in Me: The Big Race'.
  2. 2
    Head to the marked location and call Claire.
  3. 3
    Talk to Claire and choose your vehicle. 'The Beast' is sufficient for this scripted race.
  4. 4
    The race is heavily scripted. Keep pace with Samson and do not worry about other racers.
  5. 5
    Around the 25th checkpoint, Samson's vehicle will be damaged, and he will veer off an off-ramp.
  6. 6
    You will be presented with a choice: follow Samson or finish the race.

Finish the Race:

  1. If you choose to finish the race, follow the guide arrows to the end.
  2. Finishing first will earn you over €$4,000, but Claire will be unhappy.
  3. This will conclude 'The Beast in Me: The Big Race' and 'The Beast in Me' questline.

Follow Samson:

  1. If you choose to follow Samson, you will forfeit the race.
  2. Follow Samson as he drives off the route and crashes.
  3. You will automatically park and exit 'The Beast'. Claire will confront Samson.
  4. A series of timed dialogues will occur. To de-escalate the situation, respond to all timed dialogues and choose the option "Yeah. Let him go." during the final timed choice.
  5. If you miss timed dialogues or choose "Do what you have to do.", Claire will seek vengeance.
  6. After the encounter, ride back with Claire or find your own way.
Tips
  • The race itself is highly scripted, with little challenge. Focus on staying near Samson.
  • Favoring speed over handling is viable for most of the race due to the lack of sharp turns.
  • Following Samson leads to a more involved conclusion to the questline and potentially better rewards.
  • If you finish the race: €$4,000+ (Claire will be unhappy).
  • If you follow Samson: The Mackinaw “Beast” (regardless of Samson's fate).
  • If you convinced Claire to spare Samson: After a week, Samson will message you, giving you the Type-66 Cthulhu.
