Joel in the party

[Mr. Mule]

In the 2nd day you can find joel, i want to be nice to him and get him to join the party, how do i do that instead of making him into an enemy?

[flitchard]

He says he wants "Fuzzy".

That's his teddy from the next room over.

He won't go with just anyone, but he's fine with going to a neighbour's house

[Fufufamesh]

Go in the room under him before talking to him and grab the teddy bear against the wall named fuzzy, then give it to him when in combat under the Item tab

[Mr. Mule]

thank you

Leigh is better than Joel, for any new run I'd just try and get her. I felt like early in the game with Joel and Leigh I was going through health items way too fast. He's usually just not very good. He gets a ranged ability and another that can reduce his damage, but no natural way to defend himself. Only pro's is that he has a melee that won't break and an extra pair of hands if you need to lob consumables at things.

I THINK he might be the only way to get a game cartridge though...Would have to check with the dialogue choices...

One nice thing about Joel that isn't written anywhere in game is that he seems to inherently have the ability to double his melee damage if doubling it would kill the enemy, like that expensive rapier ability. He would routinely one shot smaller enemies by himself. The other thing too is when you use teething pain and that 6 stm ability he has to use the teeth saw, he does crazy damage, especially if they're weak to slash. I just put a high defense armor on him and called it a day.
