Quiet's End game question
So I spoiled my self to the knowledge that Quiet gets infected by the end game and leaves DD to die.
I suspect this is mission 43 as I had read some early none spoilers that she leaves. But the very same source claimed that after story is over you can find her post game for some closure.
Anyone knows if it's possible to get her be a buddy end game again? Or is she fully lost?
Anyone completed the main story yet?
Kinda sucks to loose her post game. Especialy after spending all that money on her,finding upgrades with her. Though it's greatly affected by us bonding on missions together

I recall reading you can recruit her again, though I'm not sure at what point.

Thanks So it is true then, good. I just wonder if it's side ops you can complete or if you need to randomly find her. Hope it's the former. From spoilers it seems stupid for her to leave. You already have a cure to the bloody infection. Why can't she take it? Does she want to give birth before death?

No... unfortunately as of right now there is no way to complete the story and still keep Quiet.

That side op where you can find her again immediately triggers a hidden story mission. And that story mission sums up Quiet's story. Unfortunately at the end of the mission you don't get her back either.

There is, however, a way to delay Quiet's departure by having the butterfly icon on your emblem. If you keep this on before the mission where she leaves initially, you essentially lock out the rest of the story (including Quiet's departure). But obviously this means you are basically frozen in time in terms of the story, and cannot proceed until you remove the butterfly from your emblem.

Truly hope they will patch Quiet back in the game for post ending use since she is such an important part of the gameplay, even though canonically she is gone by then.

Doubt it will happen with Kojima gone and Konami dumbasses behind the wheel now.

I seee. So that side story is must be the one Where she speaks to save Snake and thus dies. While sweet and conclusive from story perspective. It's efd up from gaming one.
They need to patch it. Pehaps we will get lucky thought. Hope as they say dies last,when u finish her off with a shovel.
I guess I will need to delay mission 43 till I get bored of game or complete the main game and start from scratch and play till mission 42.

Still a light of hope though. I read all of this from my strategy guide, and its rather vague when it talks about "locking out rest of the story". I haven't reached this part of the story yet, but I hope when they say that they mean it only locks out the rest of Quiet's storyline, and you can still go through the other story arcs while freezing Quiet's. Obviously you won't ever truly 100% the game if you do this, but I don't mind if I get to keep her.

regards to butterfly. I need to place it instead of my Eagle symbol? That sicks, but things I will do for Quiet.
I'm willing to not have 100%,I'm not completionist.
And seeing as I'm renting the game till Fallout4 comes out. I'm willing to ignore her side story and simply remove the butterfly few days before Fallout 4 comes and finish her story and this game. If they don't patch Quiet in or Mods don't fix this. I don't plan on buying pc version then.

Heres a picture of the part of the strategy guide that talks about keeping her. As I said, its vague when it comes to "locking the story", specifically whether or not you can proceed in the other areas of the story without losing Quiet.

Sucks too, I just worked so hard to unlock the FOX emblem for use, but I'd do anything to keep Quiet, at least until if/when a patch comes out and enables her as a buddy (non-canonically) after the storyline.

i read a scan from the official guide that you can keep her, but you need to meet some criteria that will end up with huey leaving MB on a boat.

You just leave the butterfly symbol on your emblem. Quiet's story won't progress with the symbol in place.

I'd rather have Huey leave then Quiet. It does seem like it only locks Quiets side story, Thats good.
Am I correct in understanding that if your bond is bellow 100% she won't leave?

Does it only lock out mission 45 then? Cause if I can complete other missions then eff that mission.

I just wonder if I put butterfly now while I'm on mission 31 just lock all the CS and missions for Quiet up to her leaving or just the one where she leaves.
