When it comes to the games put out by Supermassive Games, most players are aware of how one decision can have a ripple effect later on in the game, potentially saving or killing a character as the narrative progresses. Perhaps there are characters you do not care for, or you just prefer to see mayhem rule the day, and in The Quarry, you will have plenty of opportunities to enact your chaos. If you are wondering about how to get the bad ending and kill all the counsellors at Hackett’s Quarry, we have got you covered in this guide.
Killing All Counsellors in The Quarry
Each of the characters can meet their doom in a variety of ways, and sometimes, the preparations for their demise will take several chapters before everything falls into place. As a rule, when it comes to dialogue choices, choose to be mean, antagonistic, or lie when it is obvious that the other person knows the truth, which ensures that tensions rise and nerves get frayed.
If you want the clearest path to a bloody night, here are the specific chapters in which you can kill the counsellors at the earliest point in the story.
Chapter 4
Jacob
Shortly after the start of this chapter, players will take control of Ryan at the campfire. With everyone on edge, there will be some noises in the bushes, and Ryan will have the option to shoot. Aim and fire both times into the bushes. Instead of some animal or monster, this will kill Jacob and leave him in a bloody mess.
Emma
As for Emma, once you have control of her on the island, choose either the ground path or take the staircase. Either way, you will reach a treehouse, where there will be a trapdoor and some bags. Despite the terrifying noises, choose to open the trapdoor first, and she will be ripped to shreds by the monster trapped above.
Chapter 6
Abigail
When in the poolhouse after rescuing Nick from the water, the conversation between the would-be lovers will take a turn for the worse, and Nick will throw Abigail against the wall as he gets more infected. Now, armed with the shotgun, do not shoot at Nick and let him attack, and Abigail will meet her demise here.
Chapter 7
Laura/Ryan
Make sure you follow these decisions to set up the deaths of both Laura and Ryan later on. Once control of Laura is yours in the police station, do not roam around and go back to bed immediately, and choose to go to sleep. The next day, Laura will fake an injury to lure Travis into the cell, where the opportunity to grab his gun arises. Do it, but fail the QTE to shoot him, and this will leave Travis wounded in the cell but not dead, and seeking revenge.
Chapter 8
Nick
Once you head towards Hackett’s house and fall into the mines, you will eventually come to an area lit in red as Laura and Ryan. Here, you will find a trapped Nick in the cage, and Laura will aim her shotgun at the monster. Do not interrupt her, and Nick will be shot dead.
