Your guide to Part 5 of Pathologic 3, covering Adherent healing, the Polyhedron, the Cathedral, and making your final decisions for the game's endings.

Alright, Part 5! This is where things really start to come together. You'll be heading back to the Factory district, specifically to that building where you were held captive earlier in the week. Your main goal here is to tend to the Adherents, but don't forget about your own crew!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, if you've been hoarding panacea and powders, now's a good time to use them to heal up any sick Adherents. Just make sure you don't neglect your own people in the process.
  2. 2
    After tending to any ill Adherents, go and have a chat with them. This is important because it'll prompt them to show up for the meeting later on.
  3. 3
    Here's a quick rundown of the Adherent factions you might encounter:
    • The Bachelor's Adherents (The Utopians): Georgiy, Victor, Andrey, Peter, Mark, Maria, Younger Vlad.
  4. 4
    The Haruspex's Adherents (The Termits): Khan, Capella, Murky, Notkin, Sticky, Grace, Taya.
  5. 5
    Clara's Adherents (The Humbles): Lara, Yulia, Bad Grief, Rubin, Alexander, Katerina, Anna, Aspity and Oyun.
  6. 6
    The game mentions that if you have enough medicine (like 5 Shmowders and 4 panacears by Day 12, for example) and none of your own Adherents are sick, you'll only need to heal about 5 other people.
  7. 7
    If you manage to cure at least two groups of Adherents, you'll receive a letter from the Powers that be.
  8. 8
    Following that, you'll need to enter the Polyhedron. Once inside, make your way to the inner chamber and step on the drawing on the floor. Talk to everyone present, and then you can leave.
  9. 9
    If you were successful in saving all the Adherents, you'll get another letter, this time from the Theatre.
  10. 10
    Head over to the Theatre and talk to the people there. It's your chance to give them a piece of your mind for putting you through all this trouble!
  11. 11
    Finally, make your way to the Cathedral at precisely seven o'clock. Someone will be waiting for you upstairs.
  12. 12
    Engage in conversation with everyone there, and then you'll need to tell Blok your decision. This is a crucial moment, as there are four distinct endings to choose from based on your choices.
Tips
  • Focus on healing Adherents when you can, as this seems to be a key trigger for advancing the plot and receiving important letters.
  • Don't forget to check on your own Adherents; keeping them healthy is just as important as helping others.
  • Pay attention to the dialogue in the Polyhedron and the Theatre, as it will likely provide context for your final decisions.
  • The choice you make with Blok at the Cathedral will determine which of the four endings you experience, so think carefully about your actions throughout the game.
