Luther: From Almost-Fish-Food to Freedom Fries! A Guide to Keeping This Loveable Android Alive in Detroit: Become Human
So you've befriended the grumpy-but-sweet Luther in Detroit: Become Human. Great choice! This runaway android might have a penchant for hiding in cupboards, but his loyalty to Kara and Alice is undeniable. But what happens if you, well, don't let him become fish food during the raid on Jericho?

From Drowned Rat to Dapper Date: Saving Luther's Skin (Literally)
During the tense "Crossroads" chapter, Luther gets, ahem, ventilated by a soldier. Yikes! But fear not, there's still a chance to save our favorite fugitive. Here's the lowdown:
- Think Fast! When prompted, choose to save Luther. Kara and Alice will patch him up, but Luther will heroically (and somewhat conveniently) insist they leave him behind.
- Playing Possum: Later, during the soldier raid, Kara and Alice have to play dead. Nailing this (gruesome) scene is crucial for Luther's survival.
Pro-Tip: If you mess up here, or forget to save Luther in "Crossroads," don't despair! You can always restart the chapter.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Luther On The Loose: Reuniting the Trio
Now that Luther's (hopefully) not pushing up daisies, you'll encounter him again on the road to freedom. Here's where things get interesting:
- Bus Stop Bonanza: At the bus station, you'll have the chance to save Luther (and a bonus Jerry!) from some not-so-friendly authorities. Quick reflexes and good decision-making are key here.
Remember: Throughout the game, your choices with Markus (the leader android) can affect the border crossing scene.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
Freedom Fries and a Happy Ending (Maybe)
If you've played your cards right (and haven't gotten Luther squished by a bus), you can potentially reach the Canadian border with all three characters intact. Here's the (slightly spoiler-ish) finale:
- Peaceful is the Way to Go: For a smooth border crossing, Markus' revolution needs to be peaceful. This will allow you to choose the "no sacrifice" option and everyone gets poutine (or whatever delicious Canadian food they have).
- The Price of Freedom: If things get messy with Markus, you might have to sacrifice someone at the border (yikes!). Alternatively, you can choose the capture route, which offers a different (and more difficult) chance for Luther, Kara, and Alice to reunite and escape the android concentration camps.
It's all about the choices you make!
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
