Jagged Alliance 3 Free Mercenaries

The guide contains spoilers!

Jacques Boin Flayer

In order to get Flayer into your ranks, you first need to visit the poacher camp in sector "C5". After killing the Legion soldiers, you will be able to talk to the leader of the group, "Jackal" Gilbert, who will tell you about his problems.

You need to find three corpses of poachers with deer antlers.

One of them is in sector "C6". Search the area until you see a magnifying glass icon above the corpse, examine it to get a hint.

The other two corpses are in sector "B4".

In order to recruit the Flayer, you will need a squad member with an IQ of 90 or higher. If you don't have anyone with that amount, you can hire Barry.

After interacting with the remaining two corpses in the "B4" sector, the Flayer will come out of the bushes, with whom you can talk.

Don't tell him he's crazy, just ask why he's doing this and then tell him to stop.

Do not choose the line "Would you like to hunt militants instead?". You must choose "Would you like to hunt with us?", which will result in an Intelligence check.

We take Flayer into the detachment and show it to the smugglers, saying that he is now with us in re-education.

Larry Roachburn

Larry is in F7 and if you bring metaviron, he will join (requires a medicine check, 50 is not enough, and 69 is enough).

Metaviron can be found in different places:

Can be obtained by spending diamonds on loot boxes. For one small diamond, you can get a loot box from Lali Livelander at the Fleatown Flea Market (H9). However, loot rewards are random, and only the first 5-10 boxes will give valuable loot.

1. Another way to obtain metaviron is through garbage collection. You can visit the places listed below.
2. Some players have reported that after recruiting or killing the Flayer, they received one Metaviron from a chest near the dungeon or on Jacques Boin's face.
3. Other places to check out are the underground rooms in B10. H12, F11, the basement of the sanatorium, and also near the tree with crazy animals in E12, sector i8
4. Cam Grand Prix, the beach south of the Fleettown deposit (H9) and secret caches may also contain metaviron.
5. To find secret caches, you must first scout the area, and then use the "Overview" option and the help of the Phase to get detailed information about the area.
6. Also, the drug can be searched in G8 "house with a ghost."
7. Larry can also be cured of drug addiction (add stats to accuracy and intelligence). To do this, visit the Sanitarium, which is marked with a hospital icon directly east of Fleettown.

Arriving there, you will be able to start a new operation for the treatment of drug addiction. Proceed to it and select Larry. The operation is quite short, and when it is over, Larry will remove his helmet, his speech will become less blurry.

Pierre Laurent

Starting Island, Ernie Village. Talk to Luke his father. The old man will ask you not to kill his son. The quest will continue when you attack Fort Lo Bleu.

There are a few things you can do before attacking the fortress on Ernie Island:

Talk to Bastien in sector I1:

• Do not kill him, as he will still be useful. (You can persuade him to give the diamond)
• Then spare him again in the H3 sector (for example, by saying hands up.)
• In sector H3 there is a bunker. You will find a machine gun there, which you need to donate to the village.
• Convince Didi (I3). If you have someone with the explosives skill, she can be persuaded to leave the Legion without supplies.
• We storm the fort.
• During the battle, you do not need to follow Pierre. He'll give himself up when it hurts enough. So don't accidentally kill him.
• We won and we speak
• "You can go."
• Also talk to Luke, he will be delighted and give you diamonds.

Basic things to do:

1. Help Ernie: gaining loyalty.
2. His father must survive: don't let Luke hang.
3. Re-educate Bastien.

Helping the village of Ernie is simple - prevent any lynchings, and especially the attempted lynching of Pierre's father, give them a machine gun and train the militia.

Bastien's re-education is a little more difficult.
We go to the Refugee Camp and here you need to convince him to smuggle smuggled goods for free. What is the difficulty? for many, the refugee camp has already been destroyed by Colonel Fauchot's army. Therefore, it is worth looking here at the start of the game.

After completing these tasks, you can find Pierre at Camp Bien Chien (F19)

A message may also come that Pierre is in the A2 mines, but you can safely ignore this message, as it turned out, it is not necessary to complete.

You need to defeat the enemies and meet Pierre in the courtyard. Talk to him, ask him to join you, and when you pass the influence check, he will join.

Alejandro Diaz "Smiley"

1. There are several ways to start the mission to find Smiley, but the easiest way is to just go to the Pantagruela slums, talk to Maman and ask her about Molly's kidnapping.
2. Explore the nearby bathhouse, then the top floor of the brothel, and finally the rooftop to realize she wasn't kidnapped. As a result, you will be instructed to speak with the priest in the Fleettown district of La Bue.
3. Tip : Don't do it yet. Prepare for battle
4. It is highly recommended that you first go to Blauber's boss mansion and take the quest from him to rescue Luigi from The Good Place. Complete this quest and Luigi will hint that he wants to kill Blauber.
5. Return to the mansion, say that you will support Blauber, but only intervene when he is in immediate danger - make sure that his guards suffer as many casualties as possible.
6. After that, go to the Fleettown district of La Bue, talk to the priest and say that you know that he is hiding Smiley. You can then talk to the mercenary in the secret room, at which point you will be attacked by 11 bandits or so.
7. Kill them and Smiley will try to execute the priest. To save the life of a priest, you need to pass a high test for leadership. 43 is not enough.
8. At this point, Smiley leaves to meet Blauber at his house (i9). This will be a tough fight due to the sheer number of Blauber's guards, so it's highly recommended to bring two squads of smoke grenades with you.
9. As a result of the fight being over, Molly leaves and Smiley can join the team.

Major Spike Scallion

1. Spike is in sector "A20".
2. This is a fort with elite Legion troops, and to spice up the situation, as soon as he engages in a firefight with your team, he will order others to kill President La Fontaine. The easiest way to avoid the death of the president is to take two squads with you.
3. Clear out the head of the Legion forces first.
4. With the help of an assault squad, launch an attack on the western part of the map. This squad should have a lot of long-range weapons, mostly assault and sniper rifles.
5. Another team should sneak up from the east side, not far from where you went up to the major's tent.
6. Start attacking from the west side and wait until the brutes and the sniper are removed from the east side. If the eastern group is spotted by the enemy, just attack them from that side.
7. In any case, the major and his personal guards will react to those mercenaries that are visible. Therefore, they will not attack the President.
8. When you win the battle, talk to the major and you will need to pass an influence check. Ask why he tried to kill the President and answer: "Spike, you were a mercenary like us." DO NOT say Biff is his friend or you will lose influence. Also avoid the “You will answer for all this” option, as this is the path that will lead him to imprisonment.
9. After these lines, you should get the option "What if we hire you?". Accept it and Spike will become a new member of your team.
