The Quarry: How to Solve the Breaker Puzzle to Save Jacob

If the hunters kidnap Jacob in The Quarry, he'll be trapped in a cage, and you'll have to solve a breaker problem to rescue him. Ryan and Laura find him in the Hackett house's basement, so they don't have much time and can't make too much noise. It's a tense situation for everyone concerned, especially because there's a werewolf trapped in the next cage, ready to devour Jacob if the wrong doors open. It's a difficult puzzle that you can't really solve unless you take a good look at the cages before starting it, which most people don't because they don't realize a puzzle is about to appear. If you're in that circumstance and want to make sure Jacob is saved, here's how you open the cage at The Quarry using the breaker puzzle.

How to Solve the Breaker Puzzle in The Quarry

To get Jacob out of the Hackett basement cage, there are two primary steps. The first stage is to unlock the middle door, which will allow Jacob to reach the empty middle part between the two cages, and the second step is to open the cages' entrance, which will allow Jacob to join Ryan and Laura. This is much easier said than done, so here's how the breakers should save Jacob in the correct order.

• Breaker 1
• Breaker 2
• Continue
• Breaker 2
• Breaker 3

Choosing the breakers in this order will open the two doors required to allow Jacob to leave while keeping the werewolf confined to its own cage. If you're still confused, the solution is to choose breakers that sum up to the number of cage doors you need to open, which is cage 3 and cage 5. If you complete the puzzle correctly, Jacob will be let out of the cages, and Ryan will lead him back through the mines to rejoin the others. Jacob will be safe, and Ryan and Laura will be able to continue their investigation into the Hackett family.

What Happens If You Don’t Save Jacob From the Cage?

Choosing to leave Jacob or failing to complete the breaker puzzle is extremely harmful to Jacob, as it almost always results in his death. You can either muck up the breaker puzzle and allow the werewolf out of his cage, which will end exactly as you expect, or you can lock him up while Ryan and Laura head upstairs. However, Laura can cut the house's power in the next scene, allowing the werewolf to eat Jacob by unlocking all of the cage doors.

The only surefire way to save Jacob if he is captured and brought to the Hackett house is to solve the breaker problem, so make sure you follow this instruction and choose the appropriate breakers if you want to save everyone for The Quarry's best ending.
