How could you save your buddies ? Can you ? If you go to underground what happens ?

You have a choice with buddies. The only time they need saving during the game is if they become wounded. You also can opt to put them out of their misery or just walk away and let them die. The only time you need to go to the Underground is when you are in need of malaria medicine.

Nah i mean in the main story i have you to choose beetwen go to mike's bar or go to undergroundchurch
What happen if i go to church and leave my buddies ? They die ? Cause when i stay with them they die too

[Maldo Straken [FR]]

ok so i try the church
I think it's the best option cause you save the underground people and either case you'r buddies die

No you can't save them.

It makes no difference if you try to save your buddies or help the priest and civilians.

Without saying to much by the end of the game you will wish they all had died.

OIC. Personally, I go to Mike's most of the time to fight with my buddies, regardless of whether or not they're going to die. If I go to the church, I save the Underground people, but last only a short time. On the other hand, I last longer at Mike's because I'm not the only one fighting. It feels more like a real last ditch battle rather than a futile one man stand. It's more satisfying to me, even if the result is the same.

make a save game, play both story paths

All roads lead to rome

Major spoiler:


Perhaps on your next play throughs, you won't have any buddies left to save..?

I always make sure my best buddy is dead after doing their two side missions and then execute the final one before being told to save the church or Mike's (who is mike and why save it if everyone is dead..?).

The reason being because those guys cause some serious trouble much later on if they are still alive, as in the real life story on which the game is based.

It's actually possible to rescue buddies before you get the missions to do so, thereby getting something like 44 or 46 out of 40 side missions.

If you don't head to the APR after the tutorial and instead rescue the ppl in the North (other "farms" and crash site) then you get a "mission achieved" without getting a mission given :)

This is also possible in the South for two guys... I think in the village there's one, I can't remember the other.

Anyway - the best thing I've found to do for completionist fun is to have a best buddy for a bit, take all the Mike's bar missions, let that buddy die and then in steps rescue rambo to be the new first buddy, allowing you to talk to the other (max of 4 out of 6) people in Mike's bar.

From which Mike is always absent...

Atm I am playing infamous (it's nice to not have the syringe used before tablets, plus more and faster enemies) and trying to collect 994 diamonds, so not buying weapons at all, while getting as high completion as possible (even doing the convoy missions this time). Getting to 20% only 1 rescue required :)

Night time is my friend :P

So far, favourite weapon (other than machete) is makarov, the bolt-action and a big fat MG I found in a safe house that I save for special occasions :)

Wish the game counted head-shots and machete kills.
