So, You Wanna Be Simon's Knight in Shining Armor? A Guide (Because Let's Face It, He Needs One)
Ah, Simon. The plucky little android with a heart of gold (and a serious case of "wrong place, wrong time"). If you've found yourself desperately hitting buttons trying to keep this toaster-lovin' fella alive in Detroit: Become Human, then fear not! This guide is here to turn you from a button-mashing mess into a Simon-saving superhero.

| Can You Save Simon In Detroit Become Human |
Round One: The Rooftop Rumble (Because Apparently Roofs Are Deadly for Androids)
This is where things can get hairy. Bold choice leaving him up there, by the way. But hey, no judgement. In this scenario, there are two paths to take:
Channel Your Inner Ninja: If you're playing as Connor, forget the whole "interrogating the kitchen staff" thing. Those delicious treats will have to wait. Head straight to the roof and avoid those pesky soldiers. A little sneak-a-roo never hurt anyone (except maybe that one guard you might have to knock out). This way, Simon stays safe and sound.
Leave the Man (Android) Behind: Look, we all love Simon, but sometimes tough choices gotta be made. If you decide to just head out with Hank, Simon will be left on the roof. Don't worry, though! As long as he's got that handy-dandy gun, he can probably take care of himself. (Although, let's be honest, who wouldn't want a little back-up?)
But wait! There's a Connor-shaped wrench in the works. If Connor investigates later and stumbles upon Simon, things can go south quickly. Resist the urge to connect to his memory! This will, unfortunately, result in a very permanent dirt nap for our friend Simon. Just let the little dude be.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Round Two: The Return of the King (Well, Not Quite a King, But You Get the Idea)
If you followed step one ( Attaboy/girl!), then congratulations! You've successfully navigated the rooftop situation. Simon will reappear later at Jericho, ready to cause more trouble (and hopefully less rooftop shenanigans).
FAQ: Simon Savior Edition
How to avoid leaving Simon on the roof in the first place?
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
During the previous chapter ("Freedom March"), as Markus, choose to lock the door and successfully bluff the guards. This will lead to a smoother escape and everyone (including Simon) making it to the roof safely.
How to get Simon off the roof if I left him there?
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
 |
As mentioned above, just avoid investigating the kitchen or roof as Connor.
I accidentally connected to Simon's memory! Is there any way to save him?
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
Nope. Sorry, buddy. This is a one-way trip to lights out for Simon.
Can I still save Simon if I messed up the first part?
Unfortunately, no. Choices in Detroit: Become Human have consequences, and in this case, leaving Simon injured on the roof seals his fate.
So, there's no way to save Simon if I messed up?
Well, there's always the magic of restarting the chapter! But hey, at least you learned a valuable lesson: Always look out for your fellow androids, especially the ones with a penchant for rooftops.
