Quick Links
Every single decision you make in The Quarry will have some effect on later events. It could be something as small as a changed line of dialogue, or there could be a single decision that seals a character's fate. The gaꦆme tracks the most important decisions through fifteen Paths, which can be viewed from the pause menu.
Despite their perceived importance, not every Path has a major impact on the game's outcome. Even decisions that affect a Path might not actually change anything. Here is our breakdown 🐷of every Path and the decisions that matter on each.
This guide contains major spoilers for The Quarry. We recom♍mend completing at least one p𓄧laythrough on your own before using this guide.
Laura And Max
Assuming that Laura and Max both survive to the end of the game, the first Path affects whether their relationship survives as well. Laura has plenty of chances to be either understanding or harsh with Max during the Prologue and Chapter Seven, but the biggest factor is whether Laura tries to help Max after he's bitten in the Prologue. If your girlfri💃end leaves ꦓyou to die in the jaws of a werewolf, it's probably time to move on.
Above The Law
This Path spans almost the entire ga☂me, and ultimately determines whether Laura and Travis can put aside their enmity and work together to end the werewolf curse.
Like Laura's relationship with Max, all of her interactions with Travis come down to a single key moment. When Laura is exploring the police station in Chapter Seven, she has an opportunity to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:find a syringe and hide it𓂃 in her cell. If you don't find the syringe or fail to hide it from Travis, she'll be forced to shoot Travis during her escape.
If Laura shoots Travis, he will kill her when she transforms into a werewolf in Chapter Nine, even if she turns back before he can strike the kill🧔ing blow.
If Laura successfully uses the syringe to incapacitate Travis, he will only kill her if Ryan fails to kill Chris, preventing Laura from becoming human again. Tra🎀vis will even spare Laura if she killed Constance and Jedediah.
Keepsakes
This Path is entirely optional and very easy to miss. When you first start to play as Jacob in Chapter One, look around near the van to find a bracelet belonging to Emma. The Keepsakes pa𝕴th tracks the location of the bracelet throughout the game. It's a nice through-line but has little to no 🧸impact on the story.
A Fool's Errand
When Jacob decides to sabotage the van in Chapter One, you have the choice to either break the fuel line or steal the rotor arm. Cutting the fuel line causes a fire that renders the van permanently damaged, so stealing the rotor arm is the far bett𓃲er choice.
Additionally, stealing the rotor arm is the only way to find the Bloated Corpse, Chapter Three's piece of Evidence. It is possible for Jacob to drown while attempting to recover the part, so be careful with your choices during that scene.
Down The Rabbit Hole
In Chapter One, Abigail has the option to help Emma break into Cabin Ten. Doing so gives Abigail, Nick, and Kaitlyn a hiding place during Chapter Five, but more immediately it allows Abigail to find a toy rabbit left by one of the campers.
If Abigail keeps the rabbit, she will eventually lose it when she leaves her bag i♔n the lodge kitchen by accident. At the very end of ꦰthe game, during Kaitlyn's battle with a werewolf in the lodge, it's possible to get cornered in the kitchen.
If Abigail left her bag and the toy rabbit there, Kaitlyn can use the rabbit to distract the werewol🌞f, p🥂otentially locking it in the freezer.
Playing With Fire
As Emma and Jacob are leaving the General Store in Chapter Two, Emma can use the combination from the sticky note in the locked storage room to open the safe under the register. Doing so gives her a choice to take or leave the firecrackers she finds inside.
If Emma takes the firecrackers, she can retrieve them near the fire pit in Chapter Six. Doing so gives her an extra weapon against the hunters and the werewolf she encounters i🍌n the woods later, potentially saving her from a bite.
If Emma is bitten by a werewolf, she may kill Abigail or Dylan when she transforms.
Watch Your Step
While Dylan and Ryan are waiting for their phones to charge, inspect the trapdoor behind Chris's desk. Dylan's decision of whether to go down the ladder affects the Watch Your🌸 Step Path.
This Path is actually a red herring. If Dylan climbs down the ladder h🦩e will loosen a rung, which breaks if Abigail tries to climb the ladder later. However, the breaking ladder is just a scary moment and Abigail manages to catch herself without falling.
This Path exists solely to make first-time players sweat about the consequences of a meaningless decision for the𒐪 entirety of the game.
Pieces Of Silver
This Path tracks Abigail's storyline from the moment Nick is attacked by a werewolf. Like Laura and Max, Abigail's relationship with Nick changes based on her actions. Helping Nick makes him appreciative later in the lodge, but as his werewolf curse takes hold he becomes more aggressive and lashes out at Abigail throughout the following ܫchapters.
The culmination of this path is in Chapter Six, when Nick is about to transform and Abigail has to choose whether to shoot him. Shooting Nick causes him to flee after becoming a werewolf, while missing him or refusing to shoot results in Abigail's death.
If Nick kills Abigail after becoming a werewolf, you'll unlock the Lovers' Quarrel Achievement / Trophy. If Abigail survives, she will eventually find some silver shotgun shells lꦺeft by Bobby in the storm shelter. She can give these to Kaitlyn in Chapter Tꦓen, giving her a weapon capable of killing the werewolf in the lodge.
Finders Keepers
When Ryan goes to save Nick after the first werewolf attack, you'll have several choices to stick to the path or take a shortcut. The shortcuts require succeeding at more quick-time events, but executing them flawlessly earns the Nick Of Time Achievement / Trophy.
When Ryan arrives, you'll have a chance to shoot at Bobby while he's dragging Nick away. Driving Bobby off causes him to d꧒rop a vial of werewolf blood.
If Ryan and Laura both survive long enough to hunt Silas at the end of Chapter Ten, You'll have a choice of whose scent to mask with the werewolf blood. If Laura doesn't shoot Silas, then both Travis and whichever character is not blooded will die before Silas runs off into the woods.
Distraction
When Jacob is caught in a snare in Chapter Three, he'll have an opportunity to escape by throwing dirt at Bobby after the hulking hunter cuts him down. Not taking this opportunity results in Bobby pouring werewolf blood over Jacob's face to protect him.
If Jacob has the scent of werewolf blood on him, he'll be afforded more mistakes when fleeing the werewolf in C🧸hapter Six. It's not a guarantee of su🍃rvival, but it makes the sequence easier to manage.
