Task: Getting the Body Down
Did we miss anything in this task? Is there something we didn't discover? Let us know!
Background
You'll trigger this task after completing the task
Inspect Victim's Body.
Walkthrough
The victim will be hanging from a belt tied to a tree branch (#1). You won't be able to reach the belt or climb the tree. You'll only have two ways to get the victim down:
- You can shoot him down. You or Kim will realize that the buckle is the weak point of the belt, and that shooting it would release the victim. Kim will take the first shot and miss. You'll get to take the second shot using Kim's
Kiejl A9 Armistice (even if you have your own gun). If you pass a Hand/Eye Coordination check, then you'll strike the buckle and the body will come down. Otherwise, you'll miss, and you'll have to seek help from the Dockworkers' Union (see below).
If your shot is true, then Kim will want to give you a high-five ("aces high"). If you slap his hand, then you'll unlock the thought
Aces High. If you slap his hand and wait for an "ace's low" (which requires 5 Interfacing), then you'll unlock the thought
Aces Low. If you ignore Kim, then you won't unlock anything.
Note: Whatever you do, don't aim the gun at Cunoesse. Just doing that will lose you points with Cuno. Actually killing Cunoesse will end the game ("Burned-Out Cop Shoots Child").
- You can ask for help from the Dockworkers' Union. For this option, you'll need to visit the union boss Evrart Claire in his sanctum in the harbor (#4). To reach this sanctum, you'll either have to beat up or appease Measurehead (#3), or you'll have to sneak into the harbor using the ladder in Cuno's shack (#2).
When you talk to Evrart, he'll agree to help you out -- or rather, he'll order Measurehead to help you out. When you visit Measurehead (#3), he'll agree to lower the body for you (even if you beat him up earlier), but he'll require you to guard his post while he's gone. During this time, you'll get praised by his groupie Katya and insulted by the strike scabs. When Measurehead returns, you'll be allowed to leave.
When you return to the body (#1), you'll find it on the ground. When you interact with it, you'll complete the task.
Either way, you'll earn 70 xp for completing the task, and you'll trigger the tasks
Perform Field Autopsy,
Interview the Wild Pines Rep, and
Interview the Union Boss.
1 - Hanged Man
2 - Cuno's Shack
