Decision-making plays a crucial part during the playthrough of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. As a Banisher, Red needs to collect clues by performing Rituals to either witness an Echo or force summon a spirit. After that, The Closure event will take place where Red must make a crucial decision regarding the fate of the dead or the living.

In the Flesh is Weak Quest, which is the first Haunting Case, players will encounter Antea and Red working hand in hand to solve the mystery of the missing Benedict. However, near the end, after Jacob confesses, it’s time to decide the fate of both Jacob and Benedict.

How Banishers Could Be the Next Witcher

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is making headlines with its trailer reveal at The Game Awards, and a few elements appear inspired by The Witcher.

Should You Blame Jacob In Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden

Among the available options is Blaming Jacob for his misdeeds. In a twisted manner, Jacob killed Benedict by pushing him off a cliff, and to make matters even worse, he resorted to cannibalism and fed off the flesh of his best friend. On this route, Red will fiercely accuse the Trapper and reveal that he can never be forgiven.

Red will perform a Blame Ritual, killing Jacob, which releases Benedict’s soul from the world in peace. This decision will work towards Antea’s resurrection if players are planning to bring her back to life.

Should You Ascend Or Banish Benedict In Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden

Depending on your choice, Benedict’s reaction will be different. Ascending him will allow his spirit to gently leave this world and pass on without regrets. Benedict seems peaceful while doing the Ritual and will forgive everything Jacob did to him.

Banishing Ben, on the other hand, will forcefully kick his spirit out of the world with no chance of proper closure. Benedict would be furious in this case and start cursing everything, including his fate, Jacob, and the forest.

Both options willwork towards Ascending Antea. But considering the crucial decision to resurrect Antea or ascend her spirit will be made after Red rests inside Jacob’s place, whatever decision you choose won’t affect the story that much, since it's only the beginning.

The Flesh Is Weak Quest In Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden

Banishers will have a bit of a difficult time in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden finding certain clues. Luckily, this Haunting Case is somewhat mixed with the tutorials as you will learn that switching to Antea is useful in some cases, like when Red is trying to explore the area when it’s full of fog.

Antea will find the source and destroy it, which allows her lover to reach the lowest part of the mountains and discover Benedict’s corpse. The two Banishers will return to Jacob’s place and perform a Ritual, forcing the spirit to come out. Finally, after Benedict reveals his intent, it’s time to get closure and complete the Flesh is Weak Quest.
