Learn how to recruit the valuable mercenaries Larry, Flay, and Pierre in Jagged Alliance 3 with our step-by-step guide.
How to unlock Larry in Jagged Alliance 3
1. A Stop at the Fleatown Flea Market
Before embarking on the quest to find Larry, make a detour to the Fleatown Flea Market. Here, you will encounter Lalee Leewaylender, who expresses an interest in your diamonds. Utilize five Tiny Diamonds to purchase loot boxes from her. If you lack diamonds, visit the nearby church where priests deal in diamonds.
2. Seeking the Elusive Metaviron
Inside the loot boxes, there is a chance to find a dose of Metaviron, a vital item for recruiting Larry. Luck plays a role in obtaining it, so be patient and persistent as you open the loot boxes until you acquire the Metaviron.
3. Head to Camp Savane in Sector F7
Proceed to Camp Savane in Sector F7, where Larry is located. Prior to reaching him, eliminate all enemies in the area, being cautious of the abundance of mines scattered throughout the lower section of the map. Clearing the path is essential to safely reach Larry.
4. Interacting with Larry
Upon interacting with Larry, his amnesia becomes apparent, especially if you have a capable doctor in your group. Larry will request the dose of Metaviron to help regain his memory. Provide him with the medicine, and congratulations! You have successfully recruited Larry as a mercenary, and he won’t require any weekly payment.
How to unlock Flay in Jagged Alliance 3
1. Poacher Camp and Eliminating Enemies
Visit the Poacher Camp in sector C5 and defeat the Legion enemies present there. Speak with “Hyena” Gilbert, the camp’s leader, who will share his troubles involving Flay.
2. Tracking Down Flay
Gilbert asks you to locate Flay, their former companion turned adversary. Your task is to find Flay and put an end to his pursuit of the poachers.
3. Meeting the Wisdom Requirement
Ensure you have a squad member with a Wisdom attribute of 90 or higher. If necessary, hire Barry temporarily to meet this requirement. Land Barry at Ernie Island, guide him to the nearby port in sector B2, and safely reach the rest of your squad at B4.
3. Encounter with Flay
Interact with the remaining two antler corpses in sector B4, and Flay will emerge from the bushes for a dialogue. Avoid criticizing Flay’s mental state, inquire about his motivations, and firmly persuade him to stop hunting.
4. Choosing the Right Dialogue
Select the option “Want to hunt for us?*” to trigger the Wisdom check required for Flay’s recruitment. Avoid the choice “Why not hunt the Legion instead?” as it leads to Flay pursuing the Legion alone.
Upon joining your team, Flay may request to keep trophies from his fallen enemies. Despite any discomfort within the squad, Flay will maintain something in his inventory to track his kills. Remember, there is no weekly cost associated with having Flay on your team.
How to unlock Pierre in Jagged Alliance 3
1. Initial Encounter with Pierre
Early in the game, you will encounter Pierre as an antagonist, and you will need to defeat him in the fort on Ernie Island. However, if you choose not to kill him during this encounter, you will have a chance to recruit him later on, provided you fulfill certain requirements.
2. Building a Favorable Relationship
To recruit Pierre, it is essential to cultivate a positive relationship with him. Generally, Pierre will develop a liking towards you if you prioritize the well-being of Grand Chien. However, there are specific actions that can increase his affinity towards you.
3. Helping the Ernie Village
A crucial step is to assist the Ernie village and undertake actions that benefit its residents. Prevent any lynchings from occurring, particularly the attempted lynching of Pierre’s father. Additionally, provide the village with a machine gun and support their militia by providing training.
4. Reforming Bastien
Another significant aspect is to undertake the task of “reforming Bastien.” This objective contributes to Pierre’s eventual recruitment. Ensure that you address this matter to strengthen your chances of recruiting him.
By following these steps, you can recruit these mercenaries in Jagged Alliance 3.
