To ensure Alex survives in Man of Medan, you must successfully execute a crucial Quick Time Event (QTE) during a specific encounter with Olson.
Keeping all characters alive in Man of Medan requires careful choices and successful completion of various Quick Time Events throughout the game. For Alex, one pivotal moment dictates his survival and safety alongside other characters.
Critical Action for Alex's Survival
Alex's fate, along with Julia's, hinges on a decisive action taken during their escape from Olson. This occurs when the characters are exiting a door, attempting to flee from Olson.
Here's how to secure Alex's safety:
- During the Escape: As the characters are trying to get away from Olson and are making their exit through a door, a Quick Time Event will trigger.
- Execute the QTE: It is vital to successfully nail this QTE.
- Slam Olson: A successful QTE will result in either Alex or Julia (depending on who is active or in position) being able to effectively slam Olson in the head. This action incapacitates him temporarily.
Outcome: Successfully completing this QTE and slamming Olson ensures that both Julia and Alex make it to safety. Following this critical moment, if previous decisions have gone according to plan, all four main characters—Julia, Fliss, Alex, and Brad—will be together in the final act of the game, increasing their chances for overall survival.
Why This Moment is Crucial
This particular QTE is more than just a minor action; it directly prevents Olson from being a threat to Alex and Julia at that immediate moment, allowing them to proceed to a safer location and rejoin the group. Failing this QTE can lead to negative consequences for their safety and potentially their lives, altering the game's narrative significantly.
