The Quarry Emma: The Island

The first time Emma faces danger she is unfortunately alone, and under-dressed. This is just after she goes swimming with Jacob, she swims to the island and records a video for her channel. While she explores the island, you get a choice. Either take the stairs up to the treehouse or take the low road. You are better off taking the low road as you can pick up some clues along the way.

Either way, you will get to the treehouse and this is easily one of the most important decisions in the game. Quite simply, you get two choices, search the bags or open the trapdoor. Opening the trapdoor is instant death for Emma. Instead, search the bags. Inside she will find clothes, as well as some things to defend herself with, namely a taser and some pepper spray.

After you search the bags, Emma will open the trapdoor, and the werewolf will attack her but now that she is dressed and prepared, she stands a fighting chance. Hit it with the taser, take a quick picture, then get the heck out of dodge.

Emma will make a run for it across the walkways, so you need to succeed at the QTE checks along the way. When the werewolf catches up to her, use the pepper spray to fend it off. Get to the zipline and use it to get away from the werewolf, then later the second zipline to get off the island.

• Another big task is getting Ryan through this night, here is how to save Ryan in The Quarry.

The Quarry Emma: Rock And A Hard Place

For this situation, you need the firecrackers. Remember the safe in the general store? There were firecrackers there with the shotgun ammo. You get a choice on whether or not to take the firecrackers, and you might fairly assume that taking fireworks into the forest is a bad idea. Instead, ignore Smokey Bear and any other safety instincts and keep the fireworks.

After leaving the island, Emma will make her way to the fire pit, and then toward the lodge. At the firepit, you can pick up the firecrackers and a lighter. On the way, she will encounter Jedediah and his son Bobby. The hunters have caught a werewolf, and Emma will either have to deal with the hunters or a second approaching werewolf. A swift kick and a firecracker to the face will fend either of them off. Emma will escape and get back to the lodge.

The Quarry Emma: Safe Inside

Much like how to save Abigail in The Quarry, you need to have the right situation set up. Abigail should still be alive, and Dylan should not have gone down into the basement while searching Chris Hackett’s office. If you have done all this, you will end up with Abi and Emma hiding out in the storm basement under the lodge near the end of the game. The only thing to worry about is when the lodge is attacked by a werewolf. The werewolf will mostly be focused on Kaitlyn and Dylan, but the other girls need to stay out of harm's way as well.

While in the basement, Emma and Abi will take the ladder up to the office, which will only work out if Dylan didn’t break it. Together, they will discover Chris’ security room and see Kaitlyn and Dylan on the cameras. They are locked in the office, which will keep them safe, but they can get involved in the werewolf situation if need be. However, if you picked up the stuffed animal earlier as Abigail, Kaitlyn can use it to lure the werewolf into the freezer. That way, Emma and Abigail stay safe in the office.

Follow these steps, and Emma will see the morning. For more on the game, check out how to save Dylan in The Quarry.
