As you progress through the complex story of Pathologic 3, you get the chance to save lives, make tough choices, and change the future of the town. From the start of the game, once you unlock time travel, you encounter several characters who need help from Daniil Dankovsky.
Rubin is one of these characters, and he requires a lot of assistance. If you manage to save him on Day 3, he will tell you to meet him again the next day. However, trying to do this is a mistake because he has been buried alive.
How to Save Rubin on Day 4
The first step is to save Rubin’s life on Day 3. This allows him to survive into Day 4, when he faces danger again. When you wake up on Day 4, talk to Grace at the Stillwater to learn about a person who is buried alive in the graveyard. Naturally, this is Rubin. You need to go to the graveyard immediately—timing is crucial. If you wait too long, Rubin will already be dead.
When you reach the graveyard, go to the southeast corner of the map. There, you’ll see a fresh grave with a bell on top.
- If the bell is ringing, it means Rubin is still alive and can be dug out. You’ll need a shovel for this.
- If the bell is silent, Rubin has died, and you’ll need to restart the day to try again. Restarting costs no Amalgam, so it’s safe to do.
It’s a good idea to handle this quest early in the day. Completing more quests earlier means you’ll start the next day with more time to focus on saving Rubin. If you save him as the last task, you might find yourself with very little time.
Where to Find a Shovel
Luckily, the shovel is easy to find—it’s in the graveyard. It’s leaning against a building near the entrance. After picking it up, it will stay in your inventory for the rest of the game.
