Saving Private Miguel

[Boris Yeltsin]

Did anyone else? :D

I never can, he dissapears after the loading screen at the UNATCO base.

Not sure how the original game is set up, but he should be able to follow you all the way up to the helipad. Might be that the script is broken on the Liberty Island map.

[REgy]

You can get him to the helipad but it can be somewhat tricky. Always tried to do it though.

I always have to push him around the corners at the end of unatco before it loads liberty island. If you can see him directly behind you at the curves, go behind him and make him run forwards. He gets stuck between the walls.

Thank you, this ended up being the solution for me too. I always knew that characters reacted to your presence, but it's so cool to know that the game developers actually gave you the option to "push" (moreso, make the characters reorient themselves if you touch them long enough). Nice way to account for unexpected scenarios (like Miguel not following you if he doesn't have line of sight).

doesn't matter, you never again see him. I saved him just today but didn't felt compelled to

I do that every single time lol. And then I reach the helibase and swear at myself.

No I used him as bait for the robots room

Wow old topic. There's a cheese you can use to save Miguel without attacking the guards or even using weapons or consuming items

This is an old video I made like 11 years ago showing how. Miguel will spawn in the next map as long as he is "following"... so get him to follow then trap him behind a box in the cell. Just do that at the start of every map until you reach the helipad

Thank you for this. Initially i wanted to save him out of the goodness of my heart and because i was bored out of my mind. However then he surprised me by saving my ass from endless savescumming and looking like a complete idiot while failing to stealthily take down my enemies a multitude of times by poking them with his butter knife even when i had instructed him to stay put, effectively saving my life at the most critical moments when both me and my enemy were one hit away from death and i was on the verge of giving up all my hopes and dreams. He died a couple of times though. I guess im not as good as him.

I'm curious if there is a mod that make Miguel to be your companion and follow you throughout the whole game (Note- Miguel could die or get stuck when you are doing crouch puzzles or running into many MJ12 troops lol )
