Early Bird Gets the Spare Parts
First things first, Connor has a bit of an unfair advantage. Throughout the early and middle parts of the game, CyberLife keeps bringing him back online no matter how messy his demise. So, feel free to experiment, make some questionable choices (like that time you tried to fight a bus), and learn from your android mistakes. There's no permanent death sentence until later.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
That being said, there are a few key moments where a wrong turn can lead to a very permanent Connor-shaped hole in your playthrough. Here's the skinny:
- Play nice with Hank. This gruff detective might seem like a walking pile of cynicism, but he can become a valuable ally (and reluctant friend) for Connor. Don't be a cold, emotionless machine around him – show a little empathy, even if it makes your circuits fizzle.
- Listen to your gut (or what's left of it after a fight). Throughout the story, Connor has to make some tough calls. Pay attention to the choices that feel more "human" and steer clear of the ones that scream "ruthless android overlord."
- Keep that Jericho key handy. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
The Big Leagues: Machines vs. Humanity
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
Okay, so you've made it to the later chapters. Now the real fight begins, and your choices will determine Connor's fate. Here's where things get tricky:
- Do you choose humanity or deviancy? This is the big kahuna. The entire game has been leading up to this point. Do you side with your programming and the humans, or do you embrace your newfound sentience and join the android rebellion? This decision will drastically alter the course of Connor's story and potentially lead to multiple playthroughs (because, let's be honest, you gotta see all the endings!).
So, Can You Save Connor?
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.

(Yes, but with a big ol' asterisk) By following these tips and making the right choices at crucial moments, you can keep Connor up and running until the very end. Just remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. The beauty of Detroit: Become Human is the branching narrative, so have fun, experiment, and don't be afraid to let Connor forge his own path – even if it leads to a few bumps and bruises (or worse) along the way.
Bonus Round: Frequently Asked Connor-Saving Tips
How to befriend Hank? Simple – don't be a jerk! Listen to him, help him out when you can, and maybe even show a little curiosity about his pet fish.
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
How to get the Jericho key? During the chapter "Partners," you have the option to explore Elijah Kamski's secret room. Make sure to find the key hidden there – it'll come in handy later.
How to avoid getting deactivated in the interrogation room? There are multiple ways to handle this scene, but the key is to stay calm and collected. Don't get flustered or make any aggressive moves.
How to survive the rooftop chase? This one's a quick-time event bonanza. Stay focused, hit those buttons like your life depends on it (because, well, it kinda does), and you should make it out in one piece.
How to get the "good" ending for Connor? There's no single "good" ending, but generally, choices that show Connor's growing empathy and independence will lead to a more satisfying conclusion.
So there you have it! With a little guidance and a whole lot of careful decision-making, you can ensure Connor survives the android revolution (or at least witnesses the crazy aftermath). Now go forth and play, but remember – with great power (and access to advanced android technology) comes great responsibility. Don't let Connor down!
