Episode 9: Puppets P3 – Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Full Story Guide (4K)

🚚 Departure of the Damned or the Daring? Episode 9, Part 3 begins with a heartfelt farewell aboard the DHV Magellan. Sam stands on the deck watching Fragile, Rainy, and Tomorrow prepare for their expedition across the wilderness to secure essential parts needed to repair the damaged propulsion systems. It's a risky mission—far from safe—and Sam, ever the protector, is concerned. “What happens if you run into trouble?” he asks, quietly. Fragile turns, smirks with confidence, and reminds him, “We’ll be fine. Remember—you’re talking to the former head of Fragile Express.” With that, they vanish into the mist, leaving Sam and the rest of the Magellan crew to face their own unknowns. 🧭 Connecting the Frozen Frontier Charlie wastes no time briefing Sam on their next mission: connect South Fort Knot to the Chiral Network. However, the path there isn’t direct. Before they can complete the link, Sam must first activate a relay site—The Phantom Smith, a mysterious figure who acts as the lone thread between existing chiral nodes and the isolated southern outpost. The journey takes Sam through brutal snow-covered peaks, a harsh trek marked by biting winds and treacherous terrain. But reaching the Phantom Smith’s shelter is straightforward if planned well. After establishing the connection, Sam receives an unexpected and chilling interruption. 📡 A President With Secrets Sam’s comm buzzes—a private channel, locked from the rest of the Magellan crew. It’s the President, reaching out with classified intel. He reveals that Charlie has no digital footprint—no ID, no DNA match, no verified past. In a world built on data and connectivity, Charlie is a ghost. The President warns Sam not to reveal too much, and to watch what he says around the crew member. It’s not an accusation, but it’s certainly a seed of doubt planted in the soil of an already-fragile trust system. Sam closes the call in silence. 🏔 South Fort Knot and the Ghosts Below Sam presses forward. The path downhill leads toward South Fort Knot, but between the peaks lies danger: a bandit-infested survivalist camp. You can go through it for combat and supplies, or take a safer route around the perimeter to avoid conflict. Once Sam reaches the base, South Fort Knot comes into view—a facility standing strong despite the isolation. After completing the connection, Sam gets the usual debrief—but this time, it’s followed by another private message from the President. In it, he reveals a buried truth: Drawbridge has been quietly backed by Bridges. Their equipment, their mobility, their reach—it’s all thanks to behind-the-scenes funding. Sam is urged to keep this secret, even from Fragile and the others. The reasons? Unclear. But the implications? Massive. 🧠 The Truth About Lou Sam takes shelter at South Fort Knot and heads to his private room for some rest. But sleep doesn’t last long. Heartman arrives and wakes him, revealing a critical update regarding Lou. According to his research, Lou was never BB-28. The official logs confirm that Lou was originally designated BB-00, the very first of her kind. She had been placed in storage and, for reasons still unknown, re-registered as BB-28 and handed to Sam for disposal. This twist casts new light on everything—on Sam’s bond with Lou, on why she was different, and on what Drawbridge might really be walking into. Lou’s origin, once a mystery, now feels like a constructed lie. And Sam, who defied orders by refusing to incinerate her, may have been playing into someone else’s plan all along. But who would go to such lengths? And why? 🎥 This is Part 3 of Episode 9 in my cinematic, no-commentary walkthrough of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
