Should you trust Veronika Ryan in Dying Light 2 Stay Human?

Recommended Videos

The first part of the imaginatively titled Veronika story quest in Dying Light 2 Stay Human has you searching all over Villedor for a Dr. Veronika Ryan. First, you search for her in The Bazaar — she’s not there. Then you go poking around the Courtesan Row Street hideout — she’s not there either, but you will meet Vincenzo and speak to Veronika on the radio. Next, you’ll go looking for her in a little room underneath the dam outside the city to the west, and — third time’s a charm — this time you find her.

Veronika asks you what you want from the GRE database, and why you’re risking so much. You then have a choice. Do you Trust Veronika and tell her about Mia? Or do you not trust her, and not tell her everything?

Well, although it feels like this choice could be dramatic and pivotal — as is often the case when you decide whether or not you can trust an NPC in Dying Light 2 — in this instance, your choice doesn’t make much difference. You’ll get different dialogue immediately afterward, but other than that, there are no differences to the story, or quests or objectives, or to any rewards that you do or don’t get.

If you trust Veronika and tell her about Mia, you’ll do just that. Veronika will ask you a few questions in order to prompt you to continue with your exposition, and she’ll tell you that she didn’t know anything about any experiments on children at the GRE. If you don’t trust her and don’t tell her everything, you’ll instead tell her that you’re looking for information about Waltz. Veronika will also tell you that she didn’t know anything about GRE experiments on kids with this choice. Although it doesn’t make much difference what choice you make here, we’d say that you should trust Veronika in Dying Light 2. Nobody you meet in Villedor is a saint, of course, but Veronika is basically on your side.
