Follow this detailed walkthrough for Days Gone's 'He Can't Be Far' mission. Learn enemy tactics, optimal routes, and how to overcome challenges.

Alright, let's dive into the mission 'He Can't Be Far.' This one's all about tracking down a specific target, so keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you. We'll cover the best approach to make sure you can find him without too much trouble.

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    Where You Are: You'll start this mission in the general vicinity of where you last saw the person you're looking for. The game will give you a general direction to head in.

    What You See: Look for environmental clues, like disturbed earth, broken branches, or even tracks if the game highlights them. Keep an eye on your minimap for any mission markers that pop up.

    What You Do: Follow the most logical path indicated by the clues or the minimap. You might need to dismount your bike and proceed on foot through denser areas.

    Why This Way: Straying too far from the intended path might cause the mission objective to reset or even fail, so stick close to the trail.

  2. 2

    Where You Are: As you get closer, the area might become more populated with Freakers or hostile humans. Pay attention to the terrain – you might be entering a more open area or a denser forest.

    What You See: Listen for sounds – growls, gunshots, or the distinctive calls of Freakers. Visually, you might spot them from a distance, or they could be hiding behind cover.

    What You Do: Approach cautiously. If you encounter enemies, decide whether to engage them directly, sneak past, or use the environment to your advantage (like attracting Freakers to a group of humans). Your goal is to reach the target area.

    Why This Way: Rushing in blindly will likely get you overwhelmed. Taking a moment to assess the situation and plan your approach is key to survival and completing the objective efficiently.

  3. 3

    Where You Are: You'll eventually reach a specific location, often a small camp, a clearing, or a specific building, where the target is supposed to be.

    What You See: The target might be visible, or you might need to interact with something or someone to draw them out. There could also be a final group of enemies guarding the area.

    What You Do: Depending on the situation, you might need to trigger a cutscene, confront the target, or clear out any remaining threats. Follow the on-screen prompts carefully.

    Why This Way: Missing a prompt or engaging the wrong target could lead to a mission failure or having to restart the encounter.

Tips
  • Keep your bike nearby but not so close that it gets destroyed if a fight breaks out.
  • Use your focus mode to spot enemies and track your target more easily.
  • Conserve your ammo and resources, especially if you anticipate a tough fight at the end.
  • Listen to Deacon's dialogue; he often gives hints about what to do next or what dangers are ahead.
