One of the scenes that cause anxiety in the second episode of Life is Strange is on the roof of the residence, where we will have to choose the appropriate options to save our dear friend, Kate Beverly Marsh, since, for the first time in the game, our rewind powers don't seem to take effect.

I will provide all the information you'll need to know to get to save our precious angel, Katie. Feel free to keep coming back to this guide for your new walkthroughs. Well, then. Grab yourself your favorite cup of tea and let's get to it together, shall we?

Introduction
โ €โ €โ €

  • Max and Chloe aren't the only ones who go through a hard time during the original Life Is Strange. Kate Marsh has plenty to deal with also, particularly during the first two episodes. It all begins before the events of the game when she gets drugged at a party and is filmed being promiscuous.

  • As a religious girl, she's very ashamed of her actions. It's made even worse as the video is shared everywhere, and the other kids make fun of her for it. The bullying drives the poor girl to the brink. And eventually, in episode two, she climbs atop the dorms and is prepared to jump. Max is the only one who can save her. But for once, your rewind power can't solve the problem. Instead, you must talk her down from the edge. Here's how you do so.

    Defending Kate from David, encouraging Kate in her initial decision to report the matter to the police and answering her phone call earlier are helpful, but she can be saved without making those actions by making the right dialog choices. Essentially, there will be a 1/4 odd for each decision you've made that hurt Kate that will help change her mind, whereas if your prior choices supported her, the dialogue will always have options that'll be of console to Kate.

Minor Consequences


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



  • Erase the link to Kate's video in the dorm's bathroom.
After Kate and Victoria's bathroom scene at the beginning of the second episode, erase the video address on the mirror. This will open up more dialogue in the terrace scene, showing Kate that Max cares about her.

It's important to note that this does not influence nor facilitate your attempt to save Kate. It's simply a minor decision that impacts the course of the conversation.


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



  • Erase the insults on Kate's drawing board.
After Max, thoughout the game, gets the opportunity to go to her dorm in episode one, you'll get the chance to erase the insults on Kate's room drawing board. This will, once again, open up more dialogue in the roof.

But as stated previously, it will have not make it easier to help her come down.


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



  • Learn about Kate's biblical life references.
In Kate's bedroom part, investigate all the objects. Mainly the bible on the table, the letter in the left corner of the room, and Kate's notes.

This is the only minor consequence that does greatly help you in the very last dialogue with Kate. It's your one last chance to help her if you ever got one dialogue choice wrong.

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €๐Ÿ’— ๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏ'๐˜ต ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ. ๐Ÿ’—

David's Harassment


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



  • Certain decisions you make before Kate ends up on the roof of the dorm impact how easy it is to talk her down. One of those occurs in the first episode when you find David Madsen shouting at the poor girl.

  • At the time, you have the option of intervening or taking a picture.

Max Intervened


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



If you interfered with Kate's scene with David in the first episode, the dialogue will have the choice "Things will get better/You matter, not just to me." As stated previously, when you've made a previously comforting choice towards Kate, both answers will console her.

Max Took A Photo


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



Things are different if you took a photo of her interactions with David. She'll be angry at you, and you'll have to appease her with your words.

Once a hurtful previous decision is made, you'll have one out of four options to choose from, where only one holds a comforting result to Kate. Your options are "I wanted Proof," "I've been bullied too," "I was scared," or "I had no idea."

You must admit to being scared, and she'll understand.

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €๐Ÿ’—๐˜Œ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ด. ๐Ÿ’—

Kate's Phone Call


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



  • At one point, while you're hanging out with Chloe, you get a call from Kate. You can either answer it or simply ignore the poor girl.

  • Chloe doesn't make it easy as she's not willing to wait. Her impatience is one of the things fans forget about her.

Max Answered


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



In the second dialog, you can choose either of the two options, โ€œYou are my friend / I'm here to help youโ€. Kate will feel loved and cared for from either of them.

Max Ignored Her


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



Kate calls Max out for ghosting her while she's in need. And you must make amends by picking the correct dialog option. The choices are "My phone died," "It was in silent mode," "I was with Chloe," or "Thought it was Warren."

In this instance, lying works best as claiming the phone was on silent is the only positive response. Although, Kate will still say that she needed Max to answer.

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €๐Ÿ’—๐˜œ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฃ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต. ๐Ÿ’—

The Police Discussion


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



  • Early in episode two, you speak with Kate in her dorm room. She starts to get the suspicion that she was drugged and that Nathan was involved.

  • So, Kate asks Max if she should go to report the incident to the police. You can either encourage her to do so or say that her lack of proof will hurt her case โ€” it's among the hardest decisions in the game.

Max Encouraged Her To Go To The Police


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



If Max encouraged Kate to take the case to the police, both โ€œNathan is involved / You were druggedโ€ choices are right; as per usual, they both comfort Kate.

Max Told Her That She Needs Proof


โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €



Max's lack of encouragement about going to the police will not be appreciated by Kate, who gets mad at her.

To explain yourself, you must say, "I'm gathering proof." Anything else will not land well. Max will then reveal that she's got dirt on Nathan, which will make the girl hopeful.

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €๐Ÿ’—๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ด. ๐Ÿ’—

  • From this point, previous incidents don't directly impact your ability to save Kate. While on the roof, she'll talk about how her video will be on the internet forever.

  • The only reply that helps the situation is "Be Strong". It'll prompt Max to convince Kate that they can beat the bullies together.

  • Afterward, Kate claims that nobody cares about her. To change her mind, you need to mention her sisters or father. This is because she's not on good terms with her mother, and she doesn't have any brothers.

  • If you select sisters, Max and Kate will talk about the latter's younger sibling Lynn. Bringing up her father, on the other hand, will prompt Kate to claim that he's the only one who believes in her.

  • Assuming you've played the scene perfectly, then Kate should, at this point, agree to come down.

  • If you choose one wrong dialog option during the rooftop scene, then you get only one more chance to save Kate. Remember that minor consequence I told you about reading through Kate's Bible and her notes? With that you'll learn that Kate was finding her strength through Matthews, and that she despises that particular passage from Proverbs.

  • However, you'll need to use her faith to do so. If you looked in Kate's bible earlier in the episode, then you'll know she's a big fan of the Matthew 11:28 passage. Thus, select that dialog option to have Max recite it to Kate. It will change her mind, and she'll step away from the ledge.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ~ Matthew 11:28.

When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. ~ Proverbs 21:15.
