The Complete Blade Runner Walkthrough
This walkthrough (necessarily) gives away a lot of the twists and turns
of the story line. It's not meant to be read straight through, or even
played straight through unless you're completely uninterested in anything
but the fastest possible course through the game. (What a waste!)
If you've never played Blade Runner before, you're really cheating
yourself if you don't try to play it through at least once without using
this walkthrough or another cheat sheet. The storyline and visuals are fabulous,
and worth some effort from you before you just yawn your way through with
this guided map.
If you find yourself really stuck, try to use this walkthrough just to
get a quick hint. Use the Contents list above to get you to the right spot.
There's more to this game than the game. You'll find your playing
experience greatly enhanced if you see and read some of the supporting
material. First, you should definitely watch the movie-the Director's Cut
of Blade Runner that was released just a few years ago. Reading the
original book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, will fill in a
few details. Beyond that, reading some of Philip K. Dick's other books will
give you a better feel for the "world" around the game-I recommend
Ubik,The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, and A Scanner
Darkly.
Then there are two sequels to the original novel and the movie, written
by K.W. Jeter.
They don't add anything to the game, but if you like everything else, I
highly recommend The Edge of Human and Replicant Night.
Several of the major characters in the game may be human or replicant.
Who is which is set when you start a new game, and cannot be changed during
game play. It's up to you to figure out which is which, and what to do
about it. Your character (Ray McCoy), on the other hand, may be a human, a
replicant, or a human who sympathizes with replicants. Your actions at
various points determine which.
The game reportedly has thirteen different endings. Not all endings are
obtainable from a single game start, but several alternates are possible in
each game depending on how you play McCoy's actions.
In game settings, select the "question mark" face so that you have
control over which questions to ask.
In game settings, clicking on "Designer Cut" reduces the amount of
descriptive chatter from McCoy. This speeds up the game, but cuts out a lot of
interesting comments and internal dialogue. Leave this setting off until
you've played through a couple of times.
The Voight-Kampff test allows you to ask up to ten questions. Unless you
ask a skilled mix of easy, medium and hard questions, the test may terminate
without giving an absolute determination whether the subject is human or
replicant. If you ask too many hard questions, the subject may get angry and
end the test early. If you save the game right before the test, you can keep
trying until you get it right.
SAVE GAME wherever it's indicated in the walkthrough.
DRAW your GUN wherever it's indicated in the walkthrough.
To "talk" to a character means keep clicking on them until they stop
giving you a meaningful response (usually, they start repeating some simple
phrase). Sometimes you only get one or two questions before they walk or
run away, or react in some other way, so choose your questions
carefully.
Throughout the walkthrough, options are presented in vertically-aligned
pairs. If the options influence the direction of the game, codes indicate
which direction you'll be pushing things:
- BR means you're a human, a Blade Runner doing his job.
- RP means you're a replicant cutting corners to save your
buddies.
- RS means you're a human replicant sympathizer.
- BNL means you're being nice to Lucy.
- BND means you're being nice to Dektora.
If there is no option code, the option changes some aspect of game play
but does not affect outcome.

The End...
...until you play again!
Reputedly, there are thirteen endings to Blade Runner. Some are
easier to get to than others. Reaching any one depends on the startup state
of the game.
Here are the known endings, and hints on how to get to them.
- Real Blade Runner, away with Crystal
You've killed the replicants and earned your stripes as Blade Runner
61661. If you managed to keep Crystal from being killed by the bomb
in the cave, and did not have to kill her as a RepSymp, you get to
go away with her. Have fun and be sure to take your Viagra.
- Real Blade Runner, away with Gaff
You've killed the replicants and earned your stripes as Blade Runner
61661. Crystal got killed by the bomb in the cave, or you had to kill
her as a RepSymp. Gaff has some nice things to say.
- Replicant, away with all other Reps
You killed Crystal and managed to prove yourself to Clovis and Sadik.
Clovis or Crystal called you at the end. (You can ignore Lucy or Dektora's
call and proceed to the moonbus, too-- they'll be there to join you.)
(There are several variations of this end, with different combinations
of reps on the moonbus. Each of these endings may represent one of the
"thirteen" endings.)
- Replicant, away with Lucy
You were really nice to Lucy at every turn, and not nice to Dektora.
Lucy called you at the end, and you decided to meet her at Crazy's,
instead of going to the moonbus. Away you went into the sunset.
- Replicant, away with Dektora
You were really nice to Dektora at every turn, and not nice to Lucy.
Dektora called you at the end, and you decided to meet her at Crazy's,
instead of going to the moonbus. Away you went into the sunset.
- Replicant, away alone
You were really nice to Lucy or Dektora at every turn, and not nice
the other. But in the shootout on top of Crazy's, you let Crystal kill
the RepFem before you could in turn kill Crystal. Away you went into the
sunset, all alone.
For the record, I'm not sure how to get McCoy to these endings as a
RepSymp instead of as a Replicant, or if that's even an option.
Gathering all the DNA data (Tyrell, Sebastian, Eisenduller) might make a
difference in the ending dialogue, as to whether it will be "enough" or "not
enough."
I haven't figured out if the radiation goggles or Gordo's lighter have
any effect on the game. (I haven't played it through since being passed
along the pointers to these items.)
This walkthrough is by far the longest, most detailed and most organized
one I know of for Westwood's great game. It's 90% my own work, written on my
laptop as I played on my main workstation. A number of hints, ideas,
alternate paths and tricks were gleaned from discussion in alt.games.bladerunner--
and I'm sorry I can't remember who to credit for each one. I'll try and do
better from here on out.
Just before I did the initial HTML conversion, Cameron Starr
(cameron@chictochic.demon.co.uk) posted a new, fairly detailed walkthrough
that added at least five important things I'd missed. Those items have been
folded in to this walkthrough. Thanks to Cameron and to "trithor1@aol.com"
(who's credited as originating the walkthrough) if that's not the same
person.
"P12" posted some additional material after rev 1.0.0, including the info
on how to get away with Dektora or alone, the alternate way to confront Izo
(by going up through Hawker's Circle) and the alternate ways to deal with
Gordo taking a hostage (shoot at Crystal's gun, let Crystal shoot him).
The Version 1.1.0 update also benefited from a reading of the walkthrough
posted on http://www.bladezone.com.
Thanks to the author(s).
Versions 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 incorporate several changes received from "blacknight."
