Learn how to kill Laura and Jacob in The Quarry, including specific chapter and choice requirements.
- To kill Laura without other playable characters dying, ensure Ryan gets the werewolf blood vial in 3-Ryan. Keep Laura and Ryan alive until Chapter 10. Ensure Travis is not shot in 7-Laura-8 by not failing too many QTEs.
- To kill Jacob, ensure he is not infected. If Ryan and Laura discover Jacob in the cages in 8-Ryan-2, choose to Interrupt to stop Laura from shooting the werewolf.
- To kill Abi, ensure Emma is not infected in Chapter 4.
- To kill Dylan, ensure he is not infected in 5-Ryan and his hand is amputated, or avoid breaking into the cabin in 1-Abi.
Walkthrough
- 1Killing Laura:
- Laura's death is guaranteed if she shoots Travis in 7-Laura-8 by failing QTEs or choosing to shoot him.
- 2Laura cannot be killed before Chapter 9. The earliest is in 9-Ryan-3, where Ryan can shoot her in werewolf form. She will die here unless Werewolf Chris is shot, and will die regardless if she shot Travis in 7-Laura-8.
- 3If not killed in Chapter 9, Laura can be killed in 10-Laura-1 by failing QTEs to crash the car. She can also be killed by Silas in 10-Laura-2, provided she is not marked with werewolf blood (if Ryan acquired it in 3-Ryan).
- 4Alternatively, in Chapter 10, if Chris was killed, choose to Swim rather than Stay to kill Max (this is a separate outcome not directly related to killing Laura but mentioned in the same context).
- 5In Chapter 10, if Dylan is alive, he must be killed in 10-Kaitlyn-2 alongside Kaitlyn by failing a QTE when Dylan is present. Do not fail the Don't Breathe event in the bedrooms.
- 6Otherwise, Kaitlyn can be killed at any point in 10-Kaitlyn-2.
- 7A way to kill Laura without killing other playable characters involves Ryan marking himself with werewolf blood in Chapter 10 after acquiring the vial in 3-Ryan. Then, in 10-Laura-2, upon finding Silas, do not shoot him. This will kill Laura and Travis, but leave Ryan alive.
- 8Killing Jacob:
- Jacob is most commonly killed in Chapter 9 when cage doors open and the werewolf attacks him, provided he is not infected and the Interrupt in 8-Ryan-2 was chosen.
- 9Jacob can also be killed earlier in 8-Ryan-2 by choosing to Help Jacob, opening his cage, then the werewolf's cage. Breaker combinations like 2 1, then 4 3 can trigger this.
- 10Jacob is reliably killed by Ryan blindly shooting into the woods in 4-Ryan during the second Shootout event. Missing requires aiming too far to the sides.
- 11Jacob can be killed as early as Chapter 3 in 3-Jacob-1. If Jacob takes the Rotor Arm in 1-Jacob and drops it in the lake, dive in and succeed the QTE. Then, choose Pull twice instead of Detangle, or fail to choose, which will drown Jacob.
- 12Jacob can be killed at the end of 6-Jacob by trying to Pull Free from a trap instead of Pry Open and failing the subsequent QTE, provided he isn't bitten earlier and the scene doesn't end early.
- 13The last chance to kill Jacob is in 10-Jacob, if he is not infected and Chris is alive. Werewolf Chris will attack Jacob.
- 14Once Jacob is infected in 6-Jacob, he cannot be killed.
- 15If Jacob is killed before the end of Chapter 5, this changes the The Hermit Tarot Card scene.
- 16Killing Abi:
- Abi dies if she doesn't shoot Nick in 6-Abi. This is her most common death.
- 17If Emma is infected in Chapter 4, Abi can die in 8-Kaitlyn when Werewolf Emma appears and chases Abi. Failing to shoot the werewolf or Running will get Abi killed.
- 18If Emma is infected in Chapter 6, Abi can die in 9-Abi-2 in the lodge basement when Emma turns. Choose Stairs instead of Ladder. Abi can also potentially die by choosing Ladder and failing the QTE to climb it after falling, if Dylan weakened the ladder rungs in 2-Dylan.
- 19Killing Dylan:
- Once Dylan is infected, he cannot be killed. If he gets bit in 5-Ryan, his hand must be amputated (avoiding breaking into the cabin in 1-Abi prevents this but locks out the rabbit toy for Kaitlyn in 10-Kaitlyn-2).
- 20A simple way to kill Dylan is in 9-Dylan-2 during the scrapyard battle. Use the Horn instead of Slam Car to attract the werewolf, then fail the following QTEs.
- 21If Emma was infected in Chapter 4, Dylan can be killed in 8-Kaitlyn. If Abi is alive, she must be saved by shooting the werewolf before it attacks her. If Abi is not saved, the scene ends early. When the werewolf jumps on the vehicle's roof, fail to shoot, and Dylan will be attacked. Fail the next Shootout event to kill Dylan.
Tips
- Pay close attention to QTEs; failing them is often the key to character deaths.
- Specific choices in earlier chapters can lock or unlock opportunities for character deaths in later chapters.
- Some deaths are dependent on whether other characters are infected or alive.
- Ensure you understand the conditions for each character's potential death to achieve specific outcomes.
