Escort Mission	comment	Escort Missions are sections or levels in a video game where you have to saveguard a relocating NPC, keeping them alive through one or more challenges without getting killed or seriously hurt, or sometimes even touched. This wouldn't be so bad, except that the NPC far too often suffers from unbelievable Artificial Stupidity: they die from minimal damage, run ahead into danger before you can clear it, step into your line of fire, and otherwise act Too Dumb to Live. A lazy dev team might have difficulty programming in checkpoints for these missionsnote if you die and go back to a checkpoint (and the NPC dying may very well also be a â€œstart overâ€� failure condition), they need to code it so the NPC starts near you, so you might suffer some Checkpoint Starvation through all of this. As a result, Escort Missions have a tendency to become That One Level. Missions not formally meant to be Escort Missions sometimes become them when you're saddled with aggressive NPCs whose survival is one of your victory conditions. Most of the time, these NPCs are considered to be cast in a support role or otherwise allied to your cause from a plot point of view. It takes a bit of effort to do one of these levels well, but when they are, it can be amazing. One way to make them less annoying is to give the NPC some combat ability of their own. Alternately, you can give the NPCs Gameplay Ally Immortality, but that tends to lead to You Call That a Wound?, and in some of the best Escort Missions, instead of giving the character you have to protect a bad AI, they are given no AI at all and they just follow a predetermined path, or even just walk straight. Escort Missions are typically found in First Person Shooters, Third Person Shooters, and flight simulator style games, as well as some styles of RPG. They also exist outside of games, where they're used as plot devices, yielding a Live-Action Escort Mission, where The Load takes the place of the NPC. If the NPC you're supposed to protect has a bad habit of running into your line of fire or trying to take on foes stronger than he/she is, then you have to deal with a Leeroy Jenkins. Notably, this trope is slowly becoming discredited and vanishing from modern games, after dev teams realized many people dislike these sorts of missions. A lot of the ones still showing up now tend to try and take precautions to reduce player frustrations. A middle path, found in some stealth based games with mechanics for carrying and hiding dead and unconscious guards, is to render the escorted NPC unconscious from the start and have the player carry it out of danger, using the aforementioned mechanics. Besides lifting the necessity to program an ally AI, this is much more convenient for players who don't have to worry about the NPC getting out of wherever they had hid them and into the line of fire. Another way games have reconstructed this trope is by having character being escorted follow right behind the player without being an an explicit hinderance. This means all the player has to do is get the Player Character to the destination safely like they always would. If your charge is stationary, it is a Protection Mission, which may be easier. If your charge must remain unaware of your presence or of any danger, it's a Stealth Escort Mission. If most of the game (if not the entire thing) is an escort mission, see Escort Game. See also Hero Must Survive, We Cannot Go On Without You. For when you are being protected, see Reverse Escort Mission. If your charge is a group of animals that requires some gentle nudging in the correct direction, it's probably a Herding Mission. Sister Trope to Product Delivery Ordeal. Often overlaps with No-Harm Requirement if it's made explicitly clear or required that the one being escorted cannot take much, if ANY harm at all for the mission to be a success. Games might even give the player different scores depending on how well they did this. Escort missions are also depicted in films, TV shows and stories. The escorted persons may be a Damsel in Distress, cute little orphans, or witnesses on their way to testify against the Big Bad in court (and the bad guys would love to have those witnesses "silenced permanently"). The escort can be a single Action Hero or Gunslinger or a team of soldiers, police, or bodyguards. If the environment is extremely dangerous, even people who normally don't need an escort may get one. For example, police officers going into The City Narrows to arrest the Big Bad in his lair may need a SWAT unit bristling with More Dakka to escort them in.

She can't defend herself (Her weapons and armor were taken away from her), but she follows you at about the same pace you run, you need her help to activate switches, and because the monsters who are after her are very slow, there's nothing preventing you from taking her somewhere safe when they pop up, or temporarily leave her behind to do the stuff you can do on your own. And even if she does get captured and you have to start again, you don't have to do the puzzles or kill the enemies again, provided you stay in the dungeon.

Occasionally, they'll try to make a break for it, and you'll have to chase after them. Let's not forget the evil counterparts where you lead Dust Man to a place so you can blast them into the ocean.

Escort Mission / int_14d341dc	comment	Several times in Star Trek Online; however, the example that stands out the most is that of Admiral Zelle. Admiral Zelle is unarmed and follows you through an allegedly dangerous Romulan base. However, the Romulans shout that they're not warriors, but scientists, and when you reach the central computer, it's clear that this was a Medical Research Base, not a military outpost. Of course, by this point, the woman in charge of the base is dead - and Admiral Zelle reveals herself to be a Species 8472/Undine infiltrator, who thanks you and takes the woman's identity so that the Undine can manipulate the Romulans into war. Indeed... Oftentimes, the invulnerable NPC's behavior in the level can be quite indicative of their general character. This gets aggravating because the player(s) can suspect that something extremely fishy is happening. Nominally being Starfleet Captain(s) (well, commanding a ship, anyway,) they should be able to pull the "it's my ship, I'm relieving you of duty and locking you in my brig" card and terminate the mission; or, if they want to Sisko it, step back and let Admiral Zelle charge on ahead, into mooks, and get killed. Except that she's invulnerable.

Escort Mission / int_1670bd19	comment	In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, there's a sidequest in the Wild Territory where you rescue an ecologist scientist, Dr. Kruglov, and escort him through an area infested with hostile mercenaries until the entrance to Lake Yantar. While he does lead and only has a basic 9mm pistol, you have a few major advantages: Kruglov knows how to take cover effectively (in fact his chosen path skirts away from where the mercs are stationed), he is wearing one of the best armor suits in the game+specifically the SSP-99M, and his aim is quite good. Additionally, if you're running a Game Mod or two to fix bugs (such as ZRP), chances are you can sell him a rifle and some ammo to make him an awesome gunfighter. You're rewarded with a USB drive worth some money and the chance to ask a number of lore and worldbuilding questions, plus an SSP-99 anti-anomaly suit when you reach the scientists' bunker at Yantar. As an added benefit to keeping him alive, you'll escort him again instead of Assistant Semenov, his far more fragilenote outfitted with the non-bulletproof SSP-99 suit and cowardlynote when an emission hits in a cutscene, Semenov talks over the radio about running back and leaving you behind, while Kruglov heatedly refuses to leave your side substitute, in the second escort mission where you go out to take measurements so your psy-protection helmet can be calibrated and have to protect him from zombified stalkers.

Escort Mission / int_17a21982	comment	Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon: There are 4 levels in which you need to escort Toads to Pixelator screens. Each Toad has a phobia, and will refuse to go near certain things. The first one dislikes water, the second one is afraid of clocks/giant gears, the third one doesn't step on cracked ice, and the last ones (the final escort has you taking care of two toads at once) won't go near carnivorous plants, which any human being with a bit of sense would avoid. What stops their levels form being annoying is that a) They stay away from ghosts when you engage them (Ghosts will still use them as shields sometimes), b) They can get items for you, including gems and a clock rotor,(needed to open a door leading to the boss fight) and c) You can suck them with the Poltergust, allowing you to carry them over their fears and even use them as projectiles.

However, regardless of their strength, the NPCs will follow only one strategy: to see which enemy characters are in their range and attack the weakest of them. And there goes the Squishy Wizard who happens to have no MP at the moment to try and hit that scary, heavily armored Terror Knight with his wooden stick because the Knight is the only enemy in his range (wich fills the "weakest enemy" quota).

Escort Mission / int_1852cbb9	comment	These are bread and butter for Starbound, easily making up a third of the randomly generated quests (the other majorities are "Go and kill something", "Help me make friends" and "Help me get a new hat"). The most common ones are that the questgiver's friend or date has gotten themselves lost at some local landmark, or is held captive by some baddies, but some people will want you to help them reach a trader hanging out in hostile territory so they can buy their much-needed cool chair/armor stand/milk carton, and will very likely want to be escorted back home later on. Escortees tend to zig-zag on the uselessness scale; while somewhat slower than the player and with limited ability to navigate around obstacles, they can teleport to your location if their pathfinding fails or you're too far away. They also don't draw aggro until they decide to follow you, so they can hang out in monster-infested rooms or around murderous maniacs without worries, but as soon as they team up with you, they're fair game for everything out to kill you. They also won't follow you into deep liquids, but are okay with wading through shallow ones... which, in the case of lava and poison, is still a death sentence. They also have a tendency to want to stand in the same spot as you, sometimes a bit ahead, even when you're currently fending off an enemy with a melee weapon (and as such, the area in front of you is not a safe one). Fortunately, if the escortee gets killed, you only lose the quest without further punishment, and if they were a tenant of yours, they respawn back home. Additionally, if your escortee carries a weapon, they will help you fight enemies and generally make the mission much easier. (They're still prone to blundering into lava.)

This scientist is unarmed, yet he will often casually stroll between you and the enemies as you are engaged in shootouts with them, even if he is ordered to hold position. Thankfully this problem can be avoided by ordering him to hold position at the start of the level. Then you can go kill all the enemies in the base without him, go back to pick him up, and take him to inspect the containers without any threats present that could harm him.

Thankfully all of them are totally under the player's control in combat and most of them are able to hold their own in a fight, meaning that they're not typically any harder to keep alive than your normal party members. The few who are actually defenseless can easily be told to run away from the enemies and hide behind cover to keep them safe, or made to hang back while the party explores so that they're too far away to be targeted by enemies at all.

Escort Mission / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Might and Magic VII has an (obligatory) quest where you have to rescue seven petrified dwarves from the Red Dwarf Mines and escort them to their king in Stone City. Since the dwarves can't be killed (they don't even have sprites once they're un-petrified) and don't say anything after their being-freed comments unless you choose to talk to them, the escort part is no more of a hassle than getting from the Red Dwarf Mines to Stone City would be without someone to escort. In the same game, if you take the first Wizard Promotion Quest (not required, but recommended) where you have to build a Golem, the Quest Giver has a Golem go with you to help. Unfortunately, he doesn't do much, but when you find all six Golem parts, you have to talk to him to complete the quest.

Quake Team Fortress had similar custom maps. One in particular featured three teams: one full of civilians with axes trying to get to the other side of the map before time ran out, one team of two people armed with explosives trying to kill all the civilians, and one team of two people trying to help the civilians by killing the second team. The civilians usually had unlimited respawns, but always had very low health. It was messy.

Naturally, the puppy has managed to find its way to the bottom of nearly the most difficult dungeon in the area, and it's all too willing to get into fights with monster along the way back in spite of being fairly fragile. Also, the puppy dies automatically after a few days of in-game time if you don't find it before. Frankly, after making it through the earlier parts of the crazy Luck-Based Mission to find it alive (which probably means you had skill too), the escorting is the easier part.

Escort Mission / int_1ff419c5	comment	In Kingdom Hearts II, there's a part where you need to escort Minnie to her throne while being attacked by a horde of enemies. Luckily, standing next to her and using a reaction command will call upon a semi-powerful light spell that knocks all enemies away. It's actually harder to reach the throne without using this spell. Alternatively, because Minnie only moves forward when you tell her to, it's possible to clear out all the enemies, then call her over. Annoyingly (and unexpectedly) played straight when you fight Barbossa. Jack Sparrow must survive. The game does not tell you this before the fight starts. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep plays this a little straighter with Jaq the mouse, Snow White and Cinderella, but still not completely straight. Each character will move forward on their own, and if they get attacked, you can use a reaction command that will damage all enemies around them. Assuming of course, you are close enough for the reaction. If not, prepare to game over again and again while you got sidetracked combo-chaining enemies.

Generally, as with later Dynasty Warriors titles, the linchpin captain usually isn't overly aggressive, but there are still several instances where you'll have to drop everything and bail out required party members. Of particular note is in Cia's side chapters, where a focused assault on Wizzro can result in failing two particular chapters. Why?

The player also has to spray bugs with coolant in order to scare them out of her path, and if she is seen by a guard, she is identified as a "possible hostile," causing an attack squadron to descend on her — she will curl up into a fetal position and scream loudly as she is shot.Gratefully, there is a cathartic way of circumventing the bug problem; just knock Emma's silly arse out and drag her onto the elevator. Towards the end, Raiden and Snake go for a last charge down the halls of Arsenal, killing everything. Either Snake or Raiden's death causes a game over. On easy difficulty levels Snake brings an M4 and effortlessly slaughters everyone under his own steam, leaving Raiden with not a lot to do other than pick up boxes of ammo and watch. On hard difficulty levels, Snake only brings a handgun and is a liability, requiring constant protection, and on Extreme he's an outright moron, standing perfectly still while the enemy soldiers hit him with their swords. Raiden can either encircle him, deflecting bullets and chopping up anyone who approaches, or knock him out and drag his unconscious body through the level.

As you'd expect, this can be infuriating, as the kids are completely brainless and do nothing but move forward, making it easy for them to outrun you as you are fighting the enemies.

If half the living hostages are escorted to a rescue zone, the CTs win. Note the word living, a valid strategy is to just rescue one hostage and then shoot the rest to save yourself the trouble. Or just shoot all the Terrorists and win by default. Or, if you're playing as a Terrorist, shoot all the hostages and turn the round into a deathmatch. Later games tried to fix this: Condition Zero made it so that hostages can escape on their own if not guarded, while Global Offensive made them invincible and reduced the number of hostages from four to two, meaning that only one needs to be rescued to win. 1.6 and Condition Zero feature a couple of "assassination" maps, where one of the Counter-Terrorist team's players is a VIP armed with just a puny little gun, and the rest of them are his escort. As a multiplayer-only game, the VIP's intelligence or stupidity depends on whether the VIP player is a skilled player, a Noob, or God forbid, a Leeroy Jenkins.

Escort Mission / int_2acb12c5	comment	X3: Terran Conflict sees random freighter pilots offer you missions to escort them to a station in the neighboring sector, often for a nice reward. The correct answer is "Hell, no." The freighters are built from wet newspapers, piloted by first-grade Artificial Stupidity, and attract Respawning Enemies which spawn within a dozen kilometers from the freighters and immediately start spamming missiles. At high combat ranks the mission will spawn multiple destroyers, and the freighters are just fast enough to force you into at best a corvette or fast frigate to be able to keep up. On the plus side, you can pad your Alliance Meter by blowing up the stupid amount of Pirates or Xenon; even if you fail the mission, you'll get a huge reputation bonus for blowing up the pirate escort ships and capital ships. The exception that proves the rule is the single escort mission in the Terran Plot. This is the only such mission you can reasonably complete without the above exploit, because the enemies spawn once at a scripted location, and you have additional naval forces backing you up. A number of Game Mods exist to avert at least some of the escort mission's problems, such as being able to control the rate at which the NPC freighters are allowed to move so that one can escort them in a slow Mile-Long Ship to deal with the enemy capital sihps.

Escort Mission / int_2ffcbd43	comment	Various Fire Emblem missions are based around protecting key units. Most of the time, you can have one of your more-armored party members go over and "rescue" them — removing the protected unit from the map as long as their carrier survives. Chapter Three of Radiant Dawn forces you to keep two civilians protected, but one of these civilians has much higher HP and defense than anyone on your team at that point. Even though he's unarmed, he's nearly immortal. The only complication preventing you from using him as a meatshield is that the second escortee is not nearly so durable and you cannot separate them without crippling your limited offensive options. On Easy mode you can even let them die with no penalty but the loss of bonus EXP. Sometimes (especially in the GBA games) the NPC you're supposed to protect is in a well fortified location, or is so insanely overpowered that they can rout the entire map (or at least as many enemies as their weapon durability will allow) by themselves. The challenge is not in protecting the NPC from the enemies, but in protecting the hordes of enemies from the NPC long enough to get EXP for your own units! In most Battalion Wars missions, you have to capture some enemy point. This requires you to have at least one infantry unit alive. Since you can command said units — Attack mode, Sentry Mode, and Follow — this is a lot easier than it sounds.

Too bad he kinda-sorta-didn't bother to mention the crime lord trying to off him, or he might have gotten more appropriate bodyguards than three green Kid Heroes and a single Badass Teacher; due to the Land of Waves' poor economy, he could only afford a C-rank mission.

Escort Mission / int_31e1eca3	comment	In PokÃ©mon Diamond and Pearl, there are a few missions where you escort a fellow trainer. These trainers heal your and their PokÃ©mon after every battle, are moderately helpful in battle (in particular, you keep getting attacked by two opposing trainers at once, and having an ally makes it closer to fair), and don't pass out and cause a Game Over when their PokÃ©mon faint. Completing one of these missions nets you the ability to partner up with the trainer again in the Battle Tower. More than that, by the end of the mission, you'll sometimes receive a rather good reward. The only reason they could possibly irk you is if you're trying to catch 'em all; not only do wild PokÃ©mon start coming in twos (and you can't catch one Pokemon unless you faint the other), but Cheryl's Chansey doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "please stop using Egg Bomb so I can capture this thing alive". Of course, you can just knock your partner's PokÃ©mon out yourself.

It may seem like you have to protect Brick at first, seeing as how he's unarmed, but it turns out his fists are more than adequate for cutting through the wave of mooks. Brick and Mordecai show up in the final level giving you some assistance against the loaders. However they both suffer a Disney Death soon afterwards, leaving you to fend for yourself. If you happen to quit the game before making it to the checkpoint, you'll realize that you needed their help, as the enemies are so ridiculously powerful that making it back there on your own is a pain in the ass Exploited in Axton's backstory, when he was ordered to escort someone he instead let the guy get captured by enemies, then tracked him to the enemy's base and destroyed the whole place.

As a twist, he's actually carrying her in his arms, which somehow makes it more difficult than if she were simply trailing behind. Sonic can only jump short distances, and his homing attack will more often than not send him flying straight into enemy fire. Elise does have the ability to create a temporary barrier around them, which allows him to deflect bullets and walk on water, but even that proves somewhat useless when you can barely defend yourself against hordes of angry robots.

They proceed to patiently wait in their base while you clear the entire map of everything that moves and set up turrets at their destination, make sure to stay behind your tanks once they get rolling, and even once the enemies start growing out of the ground (literally), they will target your units before they turn on the convoy.

In the expansion Half-Life: Opposing Force and from Half-Life 2 on, mission-critical characters (besides the scientists in Opposing Force) were often more than capable of defending themselves.

She can still be killed if the player makes absolutely no attempt to fight the enemy at all (or inadvertently blunders too far away from her, given the difference in firepower between her and Gordon Freeman). She hangs back or is otherwise separated from the player for large boss battles. It's even worse if you're going for the achievement "One Free Bullet" where you're not allowed to use anything besides your crowbar, gravity gun, grenades, and RPG. All of which do low damage or have limited ammo. The penultimate level of Half-Life 2: Episode One has you escorting groups of citizens to a train leaving City 17. There's no penalty for letting one die other than some admonishment from their peers and missing out on an achievement, although letting an entire group (which sometimes only comprises two) die means having to do that round over. Some are also armed and mostly competent, and the biggest annoyance is that they're sometimes too eager to fight back even if they're two meters from the goal and Alyx is right there with her mounted gun. Also, the first group encounters no resistance at all, leading Alyx to say "Well, that wasn't so hard. We should have brought everyone over at once."

Escort Mission / int_390e5c71	comment	Shannara: Unsurprisingly, given the previous example, The Sword of Shannara was also one big Escort Mission, this time to get Shea Ohmsford to Paranor to get the eponymous sword, and then to get him to the Warlock Lord Brona's lair to use the sword to kill Brona. Again, he loses his escort right before getting to Paranor, but then acquires a new one in the form of Panamon Creel and Keltset. The first sequel to The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara, was also an escort mission: Wil Ohmsford had to get Amberle Elessedil to the Bloodfire and back again. The next book in the series, The Wishsong of Shannara, consists of two escort missions. Allanon and Rone Leah have to escort Brin Ohmsford to the Maelmord to destroy the Ildatch, while Slanter, Garet Jax, Edain Elessedil, Elb Foraker, and Helt have to escort Jair Ohmsford to Heaven's Well to heal the Silver River and save Brin. Considering that, at the end of the book, only the Ohmsford siblings, Rone, and Slanter are still alive, this one was a real bloodbath. The follow-up series, The Heritage of Shannara, had at least one of these also: the plot of The Druid Of Shannara was essentially an escort mission in which Walker Boh, Morgan Leah, Pe Ell, and Horner Dees had to escort Quickening to Eldwist, lair of the Stone King. A little different in that, once there, they also had to find a way to defeat the Stone King. To put it bluntly, Terry Brooks really liked this plot. The Elf Queen of Shannara features two of these. Escorting Wren into Arborlon, and then escorting Arborlon off the island.

The raid force cannot pass gates without him going through them first. He may be tough to kill, but he tends to be full of himself. Also, careful if you provoke him, as he may attack back. The Dark Ruins in Adonis has Cultist Loke. Every other time he stops, spirits ambush him, and you must protect him so he can reach the spirit guide. Unlike the Rookie Alien Hunter, Loke is delicate, and if he dies during the trip, the instance must be restarted. When he reaches the spirit guide, the spirit guide kills him anyway. Alappaa has Sheila Marlene, who was thawed from an ice obelisk on the opposite side. The team must escort her to the emtrance, and prepare for ambushes. She does join in, but her contributions are negligable, and she can fight any team member who attacks her. When arriving at the entrance, the old man, who claims to be her father, turns into a monster when she rejects him. Unlike Loke, she can survive after the end.

Jedi Academy also features one level where the player has to escort groups of prisoners, four at a time, through an arena that houses a Rancor. Fortunately, they all make a beeline for the exit and you've usually cleared a path for them already, so it boils down to your ability to keep the Rancor away. The difficulty here depends on your power set — if you have Mind Trick, you can keep said Rancor standing in place without bothering anyone for the entire level. Alternatively, you could take a DEMP 2 gun with you at the start of the level to keep it stunned in place although you have to be very conservative about your ammo for the latter.

Escort Mission / int_43f52aa9	comment	Oblivion: Oblivion features some quests that, upon conclusion, give you the option to escort a (usually defenseless) NPC out of a dungeon. It also usually gives you the option to tell the poor sap to find their own way out. A few of the Oblivion escortees are invulnerable plot-important NPCs and can be used as impromptu companions/party members by enterprising players. Most notable is Martin Septim, who you can go adventuring with throughout Cyrodil for months before finally bringing him back to become Emperor. Unfortunately, his invincibility runs out near the end of the game, when he decides to participate in a huge battle. If he dies, you fail. The Knights of the Thorn mission involves escorting a Leeroy Jenkings/Miles Gloriosus hybrid "knight" and his buddies through an Oblivion Gate. Thankfully, you can still complete the mission without too significant of a penalty if he dies, but if you want to keep him alive, get ready for some serious frustration. A major problem is that the inside of the tower you go through is one room with 3 levels. However, the companions don't know that and only know that there's a Scamp on the 3rd floor and by the Nine they're gonna kill it. So they charge through the entire building and usually run into stronger enemies in the hallways. It's a shame that one of the few times the game's pathfinding is good ends up screwing you... An alternative is to run across the lava to avoid the suicidal morons and just finish the mission solo. Sure, the lava will hurt you, but it's preferable to escorting them. Seriously. Most people you escort/follow have the horrendous trait of moving faster than your walking speed but slower than your running speed, so you're constantly dancing around them either catching up or waiting for them to catch up. The worst part comes when you get too far ahead, and they stop and yell for you to catch up with them, despite you being closer to their destination than they are. Oblivion contains several rescue missions, but only two where the NPC cannot be told to hang back. And in one of those two, you can simply ignore the NPC until you clear the place out. A large majority of these missions are Fighters Guild for some reason. However, perhaps the most famous escort mission of any Elder Scrolls game occurs when the Fighters' Guild sends you to help someone get somewhere and you fail. What starts as a simple escort mission turns into a no-time-limit political conspiracy minor story that can net the player a constant flow of resources until completed. Lampshaded in a Mage's Guild mission where you meet someone who tells you to follow him and then charges straight into a deadly trap. You don't fail the mission, it's just there for color. (Red, mostly.) The first Oblivion gate you go in has you meet an NPC who comes with you. You don't have to protect him at all, but he'll put up a good fight. Also, should you want to do the Dark Brotherhood quests, he's a good target for an "accidental" fireball... There is also of course the final mission of the main quest, in which you have to escort Martin Septim (and some guards if you can) through hordes of invading Daedra to the temple of the one so he can light the Dragonfires and defeat Mehrunes Dagon. Unfortunately, it's very easy to hit your allies when trying to hit an enemy, and it's also very hard to heal your allies without healing the enemies near them.

As of the latest release, his air cover and fortress are the only things that can really save him from himself.

However, in practice, this is more of an aversion: The boy is just as trapped there as the girl and needs her help just as much as she needs his. Most puzzles can only be solved by the two working together.

Escort Mission / int_459ca4de	comment	The first Galaxy Angel videogame has several missions where you have to escort a group of civilian ships towards a safe zone. The sequels, Moonlit Lovers and Eternal Lovers only have one each, the former only in Forte's route (although the civilian ship turns out to be a trap), and the latter at the start when Lushati and Wein show up escaping from the Valfask. The sequel trilogy Galaxy Angel II only has two escort mission during the final game. One involves saving the shuttle with Anise's acquaintances inside and the other is escorting the fairies from Sprite away from Will invaders. The Magiic stage in the final game arguably counts as the third as you need to protect them as they travel to fixed positions on the map.

The Killer, the Poltergeist, is completely invulnerable; instead, to win, you must search the mansion for a little girl named Carolyn (mechanically she's an item card) and get out of the building with her. Because, again, Carolyn is mechanically an item, she can't be harmed by the Poltergeist or its minions, but she can be yanked out of your possession and put back in the item decks. The Epic Dark Power "Forgetting Something?" makes it harder - now Carolyn won't leave the house unless you also have her stuffed bunny Mr. Floppy.

Escort Mission / int_4fb21def	comment	The eleventh mission of Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies is simply titled "Escort". You must protect two passenger planes transporting some of the engineers responsible for Stonehenge and their families as they defect to your side while enemy planes try to shoot them down. Problem is, one of them is experiencing "technical difficulties" and must stay at a low altitude to maintain cabin pressure, and it never seems to occur to the pilots of the other passenger plane to lower their own altitude, so naturally you will have to keep flying back and forth to combat enemy fighters on two fronts instead of one. While this may prove tedious to some, as long as you're good at the game then you shouldn't have much trouble with it. In fact, the pilots of the passenger planes are amazed at how well you're doing considering the situation, reminding you of just how awesome you are and mitigating a good portion of the annoyance factor in the process.

If you are losing by a long shot and have no way to win, you can "escort" the other players on the team by helping them win or sabotaging the enemy player so that you can still win.

Not only will he die instantly in a cutscene if an enemy gets too close, he seems to have picked up an Idiot Ball, as he won't even try to pick up a gun to defend himself despite normally being able to handle himself in a fight. The previous chapter also has an Unexpected Shmup Level escort segment where Max covers the escaping Giovanna from a helicopter.

If you retry that level without any other players, you get to try to escort a Toad retainer across the level for an extra 1-up or three and an extra mushroom house. Unfortunately, Toad starts as Super, so he dies in two hits, and is completely brain-dead, strolling back and forth where you leave him with no AI whatever. Plus, you have to carry him, rendering all level 2 powers (Fire, Ice, Propeller) useless except as an extra Hit Point. It's easier in levels with Yoshi, since you can have him carry Toad in his mouth and jump off to fight enemies. Still, it's a good thing the rewards are great for saving the boneheaded 'shroom.

Unlike most people you travel with, he will walk at a deliberate and slow pace, will require you to stay with him or he won't continue, and he likes to stop and talk a lot. However, you need him to open a few doors and dispel a magical barrier protecting a quest-related artifact. Thankfully, he's invulnerable and can handle himself in a fight, but the pathfinding can glitch. The other problem with this and some of the earlier escort missions is that Friendly Fire is in play and the escortee will turn on you. Erandur's quest is particularly susceptible to this with the tight corridors. Thankfully, later escorts (such as Serana in Dawnguard) are much more tolerant of accidental attacks.

The player also has to spray bugs with coolant in order to scare them out of her path, and if she is seen by a guard, she is identified as a "possible hostile," causing an attack squadron to descend on her — she will curl up into a fetal position and scream loudly as she is shot.Gratefully, there is a cathartic way of circumventing the bug problem; just knock Emma's silly arse out and drag her onto the elevator. Towards the end, Raiden and Snake go for a last charge down the halls of Arsenal, killing everything. Either Snake or Raiden's death causes a game over. On easy difficulty levels Snake brings an M4 and effortlessly slaughters everyone under his own steam, leaving Raiden with not a lot to do other than pick up boxes of ammo and watch. On hard difficulty levels, Snake only brings a handgun and is a liability, requiring constant protection, and on Extreme he's an outright moron, standing perfectly still while the enemy soldiers hit him with their swords. Raiden can either encircle him, deflecting bullets and chopping up anyone who approaches, or knock him out and drag his unconscious body through the level. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, you must escort EVA after she is injured. She moves slow and loses stamina very fast, causing her to crouch down and tell you she can't continue until you feed her. To make matters worse, whereas other jungle areas seemed full of edible wildlife, this one is sparse in it. You can, however, knock her out and drag her body, then wake her up when she is needed. She can fire a weapon, although at a very slow rate. And in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, you get a lovely mission in which you must carry a little kid through a ravine thick with enemies. While escorting four more little kids. Who run straight toward the enemy if you don't watch them carefully. While guards who've discovered the kids' empty cell come up behind you. While a helicopter searches overhead. And probably while the suppressor on your tranq gun is wearing out. And Lucifer help you if you didn't know this was coming up beforehand and didn't wait for nightfall before busting the kids out.

Escort Mission / int_59da62aa	comment	There is a grand total of one escort mission in Fallout: New Vegas, as part of an optional bit of Beyond the Beef. However, it differs from others because: It's short. Less than a minute. You encounter no enemies unless you take a very wrong path that is hard to find. The person you're escorting will follow you closely. He is also pretty sturdy, and isn't bad in a fight.

The goal of the Cliff Hangar pricing game is to prevent a hiker from falling off a cliff - the disparity between the actual price and the contestant's guess inches the poor guy that much closer to doom.

R2-D2 is actually playable and can be taken control of by any rebel who activates him first, but if the Empire does enough damage to the droid, he'll deactivate and the player will respawn as a soldier again. This doubles as a Timed Mission, since the Empire can't permanently kill R2 and will only win if the Rebels take too long.

Escort Mission / int_5bfa9c98	comment	Warframe: In typical rescue missions, you have to get into enemy's jail block, free the captive target and get them to the extraction point. Thankfully, they have a regenerating shield bar, basic training in Le Parkour, the good sense to stay a comfortable distance from you and the ability to use a pistol if you're willing to loan one to them. Additionally, they don't actually need to make it to the extraction point. If you (and your teammates, in co-op) make it to the extraction point and the Rescue target is still alive, it's an automatic mission success regardless of where the rescue target is on the level or their current HP. This doesn't often come into play, but it means if their pathfinding bugs out and they get stuck in a wall you don't have to dick around with getting them unstuck. You just truck on ahead until you either reach the evac point or they warp to your position. It can also be handy in the more vertically oriented levels where you can go "ahead" and still keep enemy fire mostly trained on you. Another possible mission variant is "Hijack", which involves moving a target to the extraction point while enemies fire at it and you. Against the Grineer, your team is stealing one of the cores used for their Fomorian ships; against the Corpus, you're stealing a rover that has supplies and other goods salvaged from crashed ships. The target drains your Deflector Shields in order to move and enemies can start moving it backward if it's left inert for long enough. Its own health also depletes over time, but that can be somewhat remedied with the "Rejuvenation" Aura that can help slow the drain down (which helps immensely, as it getting destroyed is an instant mission failure). Certain healing abilities can also be used on the target. There is also the "Defection" mission, where the Kavor need to be escorted to a waiting transport ship; catch is that the Infestation is airborne and slowly killing the crew. Medical towers are available to heal the Kavor, but they need power cells to remain active. Much like the Rescue and Hijack missions, Frames with healing powers can keep the crewmates alive for much longer.

The AI, while a bit random, isn't too bad either.

Escort Mission / int_5e91c7d	comment	Resident Evil 4: Not only is Ashley smart enough to get out of your line of fire, and not only can you order her to stay back while you go ahead and clean out the enemies, the game even provides the occasional place to hide her from view entirely until such time as the coast is clear. The developers also tailored the areas where she follows you to be more suited to protecting her, as well as made a point to remove her from your care (by being recaptured, for example) for areas where protecting her would be too difficult or unfair of a challenge (there is not a single boss battle where you have to protect her). Capcom seems to have spent some time making sure having her around wouldn't cause players to throw things at the TV. And if that wasn't painless enough, there is (in the PS2/Wii versions of the game) a suit of armor for Ashley as a hard-earned alternate outfit that renders her completely invulnerable+not even the rocket launcher, the series' code for One-Hit Kill, can hurt her and makes her impossible for Mooks to carry off. It turns her into an amazing trap for your enemies. If you're getting mobbed, put her in the center of a room and your back against a wall. They'll pick her up and immediately fall over which won't stop them from trying while you slowly pick them off. Humorously, aiming at her in this suit no longer cues her to crouch, but to shut the visor on her helmet instead. The Resident Evil 4 (Remake) shifts things a bit. Keeping Ashley alive is both harder and easier: harder in that a number of the hiding spots were pulled, making her follow you for longer stretches at a time; easier in that she no longer has a life bar (and thus doesn't need to be healed), instead being unable to take two hits in a row - and you have ample time (though possibly not opportunity) to rescue her between hits, resetting the counter.

Escort Mission / int_6053d9f9	comment	From the Silent Hill franchise: Silent Hill 2 — Although Maria usually stays right behind you, the problems may occur when entering another location. Sometimes she appears in an untoward place - ex. just between you and a monster. That may cause nervous or impatient players to accidentally shoot Maria, meaning game over. Thankfully, you get to deposit her in a sickroom early on in Brookhaven hospital (almost immediately if you already know the code to the 3rd floor's patient wing), but she returns just in time for a final chase sequence that is stupidly hard to get through on higher difficulties even if you are aware that shooting her pursuer can slow him down. In the second half of Silent Hill 4, you have Eileen, who is injured. You can give her a weapon and she can fight and take damage, but she can't die. How much damage she takes, however, determines how fast she walks towards Walter's Death Machine in the final battle. Whether she walks into it or not determines what ending you get. In Silent Hill: Homecoming, there's three of them. The first one, the girl won't go into the pool filled with monsters until AFTER you've taken care of them, also she really runs quickly enough to escape some of the monsters (unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't work). The second one, the guy has a gun, unlimited ammo, and good enough aim that he can shoot enemies in their weak points and one hit kill them. Third one, you're equipped with minimal weaponry and your escort dies with a couple of hits.

Escort Mission / int_6104baaf	comment	The Lord of the Rings Online: At the end of one of the early chapters in the epic storyline, your character has to escort an old lady named Sara Oakheart from some bandit caves. Trouble is, she's slow as dirt, meaning you have no chance of getting out without fighting every last bandit in the cave. (But then again, it would be unrealistic for an ordinary senior citizen to be able to keep up with a well-trained warrior...) Sara shows up in some later epic storyline missions as well. In one of them, she runs around actively opening doors with clusters of enemies trapped behind them. Her pacing here is particularly annoying because she moves slowly (or not at all) through enemy-filled areas, but as soon as you've downed the last one, she's off like a shot to open the door to the next, usually leaving you disoriented for a few precious seconds while you try to figure out which way she ran off and get to her before the group she's just released kills her. Luckily, protecting her is usually optional, and you can let her die with no consequences other than failing the optional objective. There's a plot-related reason to hate "Sara Oakheart" as well, but by the time you find out what it is, her "slower than molasses" or "suicidal Kenyan on meth" pacing in the (several) escort missions you've done for her will have rendered it entirely superfluous. Justified later on when you find out that the character really was trying to interfere with your mission. The slow-walking and distractions are to prevent you from stopping Amdir and she runs away at top speed once he's gotten away. So, it's the character trolling you as much as the developers. Why does the player put up with this? Well, the rest of the game basically treats your character like a passive door-mat in regards to NPC shenanigans, so it's not entirely out of the ordinary. In one mission you have to rescue a trader named Pengail from some Goblins. He tried plying his wares with them only to end up a prisoner. When you go to rescue the fool, he insists on searching every goblin camp in the vicinity for his father's sword instead of running to safety. Naturally, you search through five different camps, assuming you can keep him alive, only to find the sword in the last one. There's also a quest in the Barrow-Downs that has you escorting a little hobbit-girl through the Downs. She takes you into some of the most populous spots in the area (not that the Downs isn't fairly well covered in hostile creatures anyways) looking for her coat, turns even the small number of non-aggressive creatures hostile while you're on the quest, and even spawns extra enemies along the way. There's a quest chain where you are escorting an orc prisoner name Mazog. He will deliberately run you into every hazard he can find, trying to get you killed so that he can escape. After completing several "legs" of one quest, he'll suddenly run away from you, trying to get to the next objective before you do. If he does, he'll kill the person you're supposed to meet, and you'll have to start over. Oh, and you're not told where the objective is, exactly; just given some markers you need to look for. Plan on starting this quest over at least once. It's also interesting that he'll only kill the NPC because he catches them unaware. Despite the fact the NPC is an elf, and Mazog is a manacled orc in armor splashing through a swamp at full run. Another one involves protecting the captain of a squad of mercenaries while you fight off droves (literally over TWO HUNDRED) monsters and keeping her alive — problem is, if she sees or hears monsters nearby, she will go and attack them. Your safest bet is to hide her in a corner of the fort facing a wall and guard the two entrances to keep anything from getting through. A second one involves keeping a stupendously weak wizard from dying while you escort him through an entire chain of quests — fortunately, you can whack him over the head to set him straight, and if he does die, you can just start over the current quest. Another quest (The Weapon Shipment) has a part at the beginning where you escort a mage to an area where you have to fight off many enemies (several hundred on elite, making it extremely difficult without crowd control). This isn't the worst part, because the mage can't die then, but the mage tends to run through the beginning area, meaning your party has to rush to make sure she doesn't die, especially on elite.

Escort Mission / int_66b7b92d	comment	Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast has multiple instances. Jan needs to be escorted a couple times in the levels before you gain Force powers, but except for one time when she's attacked before she can regroup with you, she's not in any serious danger. The last two of the aforementioned levels have, respectively, an Imperial officer you hold at gunpoint and a bunch of escaped prisoners. The former is only endangered by some of those annoying crabs at one point, and after he opens the door you need him to open, he calls in an ambush and attacks you. The prisoners manage to hold their own against stormtroopers, but when they call in an AT-ST, you have to find a turret and destroy it before it can kill them all. There are brief sections in a level where you have to protect Lando. At the end, it's more of a general defense mission, but to start with you're running around the map together. The next level after the above, you need an R5 unit to survive long enough to open two doors. The droid stops once, before both doors, and after that will not change direction, pause, slow down, or do anything that suggests that it has a sense of self-preservation. Oh, and the hallway between the two doors has five or six snipers and enough trip-laser mines to blow the droid away ten times overnote This one particular instance has a trick to it. While the R5 is single-minded, he can be properly maneuvered by the player. Namely, by Force Push and Force Pull.

The vehicle is invincible and heals nearby attackers, but only moves if at least one of them is nearby and there are no defenders in range. There's also Hybrid mode, which combines this with Assault mode - instead of starting right next to the attackers, the payload starts at a certain distance from them and must be captured before it can be pushed. Overwatch 2 introduced a new spin on the concept with a game mode called Push: at the center of the map is a robot that both teams are fighting for in order to seize control. Whichever team gains control of the robot causes it to push a barricade on a path towards their enemy spawn, but said enemies can wrestle control away and send it pushing another barricade towards the opposite direction. The goal is to achieve the higher total distance in favor of your team before the time runs out, but managing to push the robot all the way to the end of the path also grants immediate victory.

Escort Mission / int_6c1d09b3	comment	When the first part of the last quest in Fallout 3 actually starts, you quickly realize you aren't really "protecting" Liberty Prime from anything; you're just trying to kill some enemies before the unstoppable giant robot nukes, vaporizes, or steps on them (possibly depriving you of much-needed XP). You still have to wait for the robot at two different points, though. Given the large amount of of either invulnerable or else very tough npcs escorting you as well, this sequence is often derided as an inversion of the trope. Also, Paladin Vargas, one of the previously invulnerable characters that assisted you during Following in his Footsteps, has his Gameplay Ally Immortality removed for this quest, and does not appear in Broken Steel, implying that his death is canon. In an earlier level, you need to escort scientists trying to escape Enclave soldiers. Fortunately the soldiers have the good sense to target you instead of them, the scientists will usually stay behind you, and you can tell them to stay put while you clear out the room ahead. Also, of the four scientists, only one is required to survive, and she has Gameplay Ally Immortality and can only be briefly knocked unconscious by enemies. You can also give another of the scientists a gun, but this only makes things harder as he'll now hold his ground and fight enemies instead of sensibly running away, causing him to die very quickly as he is very weak and can only survive a couple of hits. There was also the immensely suicidal Sticky, an outcast of Little Lamplight you could escort to Big Town. Unfortunately he is a complete idiot who would willingly attack Super Mutants and Radscorpions with his fist despite having given him a revolver. If you don't fancy being masochistic, you can use fast travel to get to Big Town, thus bypassing any combat. Speaking of Big Town, you have to rescue Red and Shorty from a Super Mutant stronghold as part of the "Big Trouble" sidequest. Saving Shorty is optional, but you fail the quest if Red dies. You only have to get them out of the Police HQ, then you can quick-travel back to town, provided you killed any enemies outside.

Escort Mission / int_6c47db4e	comment	In Koei's Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors games, you will fail the mission if your commander dies. Some iterations of the franchise, such as Dynasty Warriors 3, avert this trope - commanders will only engage in battle if they are attacked or if it's just you and them left on the stage. In others, like Warriors Orochi, though, the commander will throw themselves at every enemy general on the map — even Lu Bu — with reckless abandon, turning the game into a series of Escort Missions. Any stage where a NPC has to reach an "escape point" (usually the vicinity of one of the game's reinforcement-mook spawn points) or has to be escorted to the location of an event trigger (most likely a fire attack), or even just has to be picked up along the way. Guan Yu's Escape in Dynasty Warriors 3, 4, and 5 is the Dynasty Warriors series' pure Escort Mission... on the other hand, it's literally right out of the book.

Bringing along AI allies is NOT a good idea, as it just tends to INCREASE the number of named mooks that appear (bringing along 2P, though, is another story). The one good thing about Lady Cai Wenji is that there's only one of her, and she does tend to haul ass across the field. Unlike the "deliver supplies" missions, in which two separate groups of villagers (an unholy combination of Suicidal Chipmunk since they always run into the bases where enemies respawn, AND wet tissue) are approaching the escape point from opposite sides of the field. Unless you plan the mission well, you'll end up running back and forth frantically trying to prevent them from getting killed. Did I mention that if either one of them dies the mission fails? And that they're frequently ambushed by the Dynasty Warriors equivalent of Goddamned Bats? Scrappy Level doesn't begin to cover it. Some commanders are better than others about not getting in your way, and usually there's some historical precedence as well, most notably Ma Su. Yuan Shao is probably the worst of the bunch, though, since in one battle he just stands there while Lu Bu is coming after him. Luckily, Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian can probably hold Lu Bu off long enough for you and Cao Cao to go around and win the battle. In Dynasty Warriors 6, playing Chang Ban on the Shu side requires that you escort at least one group of defenseless peasants to the docks. Your target for 100% Completion is to escort all four groups of defenseless peasants to the docks, and naturally, they're all way the hell on opposite sides of the field from each other and the terrain is a bitch to navigate. One unfortunate example in Samurai Warriors was Oda Nobunaga at the Battle of Honnouji, an escort mission on the Oda side in the first game. (In the second, you have to defeat Akechi Mitsuhide at the end, when Mori Ranmaru sallies forth.) Like most named NPCs, he wasn't half-bad in combat so long as you remained within "visual range" of him (if far enough away, he'd be subject to morale modifiers), but his AI would absolutely insist on killing any and ALL enemies in an area, even ashigaru (aka the lowest mooks), before proceeding towards the escape point. A most annoying example is Nobutada Oda in Warriors Orochi's Samurai Warriors campaign, mission seven. The mission has a huge map, a metric ton of Mooks and Officers, and contains three powerful bosses — Keiji Maeda, Masamune Date, and Da Ji. You must protect Nobutada, but, instead of staying inside your base where he can be protected easily, he idiotically rushes out of it, usually leading to his untimely demise at the hands of some Mook. Even worse if you're trying to get a thousand kills in order to unlock the final gaiden chapter, since you have to babysit him as well as doing that. As Koei's behind Hyrule Warriors, this comes up there as well. Generally, as with later Dynasty Warriors titles, the linchpin captain usually isn't overly aggressive, but there are still several instances where you'll have to drop everything and bail out required party members. Of particular note is in Cia's side chapters, where a focused assault on Wizzro can result in failing two particular chapters. Why? Because, according to the story, he's going to betray Cia, and he can't do that if he's not alive. Dynasty Warriors: Gundam features several missions requiring you to escort another character to an escape point, and many others where you can't allow them to be shot down. These usually tend to be annoying rather than difficult, as the NPCs aren't so much suicidal as they are more likely to get bogged down clearing out Every. Single. Mook. in the field. The one exception: when a giant mecha cuts you off, your ally is prone to pulling a Leeroy Jenkins no matter how many times he or she gets smacked down by a Beam Spam.

Escort Mission / int_6c6852c4	comment	Two levels in Yakuza 0 have Majima escort Makoto through the streets of Sotenbori to protect her from yakuza gangs that want to kidnap her. There are a number of factors that make these missions not as frustrating as others: since Makoto is blind, Majima is pulling her through the city by the hand and thus the player is allowed to proceed at their own pace. The game adds in a bit of stealth as Majima and Makoto can hide in milling crowds to avoid non-scripted encounters with enemies, and a few of the scripted encounters have Majima give an oh-so-satisfying Neck Snap to some unsuspecting goods in a Quick Time Event. Finally, if/when the two are spotted, the game shifts to a Protection Mission as Makoto cowers and Majima beats the shit out of the yakuza trying to grab her (which can be much easier than it sounds if the player has unlocked Breaker-style moves that allow Majima to rapidly hit crowds of enemies, meaning the player can camp Makoto's position and pummel the yakuza with impunity before moving on).

Escort Mission / int_6d9ef838	comment	Parasite Eve 2 gives you Kyle, who is only armed with a pistol and has no special powers like Aya, but is an excellent shot and can help kill enemies fairly quickly. However, while he has good defense, he only has 100 HP and you can't use any healing spells or items on him at all, so if he gets killed, Game Over. There's one part at the start of disc 2 where Kyle gets mortally wounded and his HP is reduced to 5, making him a One-Hit-Point Wonder until the next cut scene forces him to flee. There's another NPC towards the end of the game Aya has to protect, but thankfully, there are no monsters to protect the NPC from. However, the room the two are in is being filled with gas, which will sap the girl's HP over time if you take too long. Every time her HP drops, she coughs and stands still. It's also made more frustrating since she will refuse to move until you examine something she is looking at and you have to literally hold her hand by slowly walking to the elevator since running will not make her follow you.

The person is about as smart as the rest of your team (read: randomly switches between fairly competent and Leeroy Jenkins) so it's important to guard them well (or order everyone to haul ass to the chopper). Or you can take control of the person rather than escort them and hope they don't die.

Escort Mission / int_7378e633	comment	Fortunately very little escort action in Rise of Legends, and perhaps the only notable one is actually pretty easy. You have to escort multiple of the same caravan unit across a relatively small map while enemies spawn magically around you, but the caravans have a decent number of hitpoints, provide area healing, and you only have to move one caravan unit at a time, meaning that the next one always comes in fresh. There's also one where the main character Giacomo goes on a heatstroke-induced Mushroom Samba and you have to protect him while he totters around the landscape. This one's somewhat harder.

Escort Mission / int_747d9a6f	comment	[PROTOTYPE]: One mission features you escorting a specialized pump vehicle that every enemy in the area wants to kill, with only paper-thin armor as defense. The only plausible way to do it is to forget about your cool superpowers and hop in a tank, and this isnâ€™t even the most annoying part of the mission - in the second half it parks and all the other military vehicles wander off and let you deal with the horde of monsters out to kill it. The driver also whines at you over the radio whenever a zombie looks at him funny. One mission had you escort a prototype tank while it clears out Hives on its way to the final objective. Thankfully, the game gives you a Gunship for this stage and the tank is escorted by additional Gunships and other normal tanks that help alleviate some of the work. Subverted halfway through the mission when the tank driver is killed and the player has to drive the tank himself to the final objective while fighting off both the infected and the military. Another mission featured you "escorting" a Leader Hunter to a location where you could keep it contained. You had to attack it, or else it would get bored and lash out at passersby, but still keep it alive. The Leader Hunter is about the size of an elephant and durable enough so that the abuse you and the marines dish out shouldn't even severely damage it, meaning the only problem you should have is the fact that your "escortee" is attacking you and hits like a train. In the same vein as the Leader Hunter, the penultimate boss fight has you â€œescortingâ€� another (this time hostile) prototype tank around the city until it loses its Contractual Boss Immunity against hijacking (destroying it otherwise fails the mission). All of the fighting is done at checkpoints where the boss tank surrounds itself with normal tanks, which must be destroyed to proceed - but they cluster up so close that theyâ€™re prone to shooting each other and all of your normal anti-armor attacks will damage the boss tank with their splash damage, and unlike the Leader Hunter it isnâ€™t nearly durable enough to handle this. There are a couple of points where one has to escort a human, but they realize how fragile they are and demand an armored transport to go anywhere, turning them into much more tolerable forced vehicle segments. [PROTOTYPE 2] has a couple where you join a squad of Blackwatch soldiers and have to keep them intact until they lead you to whatever target they're after. They're much tougher than soldiers normally are and can take a beating, but if you commit to being useless they'll eventually get killed because their weapons don't do damage.

Escort Mission / int_74c5b2f3	comment	The Nintendo Wars series has missions in the campaign modes revolving around either protecting or destroying key units. The fact that the units follow your orders (only moving and attacking when you order them to) rather than moving around dumbly makes this a lot more tolerable. In Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, they tend to be AI-controlled, although the AI is smart enough not to rush to their doom... except for a certain Heroic Sacrifice, where you could've done the mission more easily if you had kept control of the medium tank.

Escort Mission / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: Link must escort Zelda out of the castle dungeon at the start of the game. Thankfully, all NPCs are immune to damage in this game. In the Dark World, Link finds the missing swordsmith turned into a frog and trapped behind some heavy rocks (which he can lift with the treasure from the dungeon north of there) and has to take him back to his shop in the Light World. This is of course required to obtain the Infinity -1 Sword from the swordsmiths (which is upgraded to the Infinity +1 Sword later). Another brief one is the old man on Death Mountain whom you lead home after he loses his lantern. The disguised thief Blind has elements of an escort mission. One of the rare examples of the player escorting an enemy boss. Two non-living examples: at one point, Link has the option to "escort" a locked treasure chest to a man who can open it, and later must "escort" a bomb to destroy a certain wall. Both of these are made slightly difficult because pressing "A" (e.g. to run or lift something) or running off a ledge will "disconnect" the item until Link walks back to retrieve it. And if one is not quick enough, the bomb will explode. There is also the monkey that is needed to open the Palace of Darkness. He requires 10 rupees to just have him follow you and another 100 to open the palace. Compared to the other escorts, getting hurt does cause the monkey to run away. This means having to pay another 10 rupees just to get him back. Thankfully, there are about three enemies between finding the monkey and getting to the palace entrance, and it is possible to deny the monkey at first, then go ahead and kill the enemies before coming back. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Occurs when Link escorts Marin around the island until reaching Animal Village, although she's invulnerable to damage. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Princess Ruto in the third dungeon. Not only do you have to escort her, you have to carry her. She doesn't take damage and you can throw her at enemies. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has one if you save a ranch on the night of the first day. On the second night, you help a milk cart get to town, and must fight off two men from a rival ranch who try to attack the cart with your arrows. You have infinite arrows while doing this, allowing you to basically shoot the crap out of them the entire time, and you only fail the mission if they hit you three times and break all three jugs of milk. Success gets you entry to a bar, and some Marshmallow Hell. This then becomes laughably easy if you wear a certain one of the game's many masks. The attackers won't even do anything except ride after you. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: You are tasked with escorting two Sages through their respective temples. They are required to solve the temples and cannot be killed, but Floormasters can grab them and haul them back a few rooms. At least they don't take them all the way to the beginning of the dungeon, as expected by Floormasters in most Zelda games. Late in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures you have to escort Princess Zelda while trying to escape the crumbling Palace of Winds. Her mobility and intelligence leaves a lot to be desired, unmindful of whatever enemies are in her way, and she has only one heart of health. This is made worse by her having the ability to teleport which she used several times earlier in the game but now just chooses not to use, as well as a glitch that can render her completely immobile if she falls from a height, forcing you to restart the entire level as well as face Vaati all over again. In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, you have to escort a comatose prince from a huge, fortified city to a small mountain town's shaman/doctor by fighting off raiders that try to light his wagon on fire (your tornado-spewing boomerang can take care of that). Fortunately, it's a resilient little wagon. Unfortunately, the enemies drop bombs that blow hard enough to spook the horse off the path. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: The Ghost Ship. Link has to escort three sisters to the safe spot where the fourth sister is. They give bad advice, scream and alert all the enemies in the area if they get too close to a Skulltula, and in general act like they're trying to sabotage you... which they are, which only makes it better in that you get to kill them once they reveal their true colors. In The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, you have to escort a young thief out of the Thieves' Hideout she was imprisoned in. She can't defend herself (Her weapons and armor were taken away from her), but she follows you at about the same pace you run, you need her help to activate switches, and because the monsters who are after her are very slow, there's nothing preventing you from taking her somewhere safe when they pop up, or temporarily leave her behind to do the stuff you can do on your own. And even if she does get captured and you have to start again, you don't have to do the puzzles or kill the enemies again, provided you stay in the dungeon. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: The Force Gem sidequests which don't involve transporting items from one place to another instead require you to transport people from one place to another without taking too much damage during the ride. Big Keys in the Tower of Spirits are electrified and Link can't carry them, so Zelda (in Phantom armor) carries them instead â€” but then you have to protect her from Keymasters who try to take the key back. Phantom Zelda in the first part of the fight with Cole and Malladus has to guide Link to the front of the train, while Malladus shoots a laser beam. In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Link has to guide Scrapper to Eldin Volcano Summit due to the robot bringing him to the bottom of the volcano. Link has to defeat every monster he encounters and make sure Scrapper is not attacked along the way. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has you sneak past flying robots with searchlights with a Goron in order to fire him out of cannons at the Humongous Mecha controlling them. Problem is, if the robots notice you then Divine Beast Vah Rudania will cause the volcano to erupt and send volcanic boulders raining down on your head. Your escortee can use magic to protect himself (while you aren't so lucky), and will always run backward if either of you get caught forcing you to try to get him through again. In Hyrule Warriors, some scenarios or map squares have Messengers on your side that need to make it to one of your allied keeps to call for reinforcements. These messengers are beyond the level of Artificial Stupidity that the game usually displays and can barely make it to even the next-closest allied keep without your character practically holding their hands. The game likes to give you at least 3 of them at once, all running off to different directions, and immediately run smack-dab into the middle of a group of enemies that includes a captain monster that even your better allies can have difficulty defeating. Frequently, the message "Messenger is in trouble" will pop up before changing to "Messenger is in danger" rather fast. If you do happen to manage to get rid of the captain monsters and leaving merely the Cannon Fodder minions behind, the messenger will still be incapable of deciding to ignore the Cannon Fodder and just proceed the few steps left to safely make it to the keep. Instead, they refuse to move a single step and rather focus in trying to defeat the minions one by one, so to make them move you have to make sure to get rid of the captain monster as well as a good chunk of the minions before the Messenger with finally move again.

Escort Mission / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The end of the "Truth and Reconciliation" level in Halo: Combat Evolved lampshades this in the sublevel title ("Shut Up And Get Behind Me... Sir"). The scene was less odious than many escort missions, as Captain Keyes is able to fight back and usually has enough sense not to get in the way, but it is still one of the more exasperating fighting sequences in the game. The Banshee/Scarab sequence in the final mission of Halo 2. It's even possible to fly the Banshee into the interior of the Scarab, which makes this mission much simpler. Why did you even need to escort the thing in the first place? Halo 3: ODST features another escort mission in the endgame, of a Covenant Engineer housing an AI. It has enough health to not become a hassle, and gives you a layer of shields if you stick nearby. In several missions in Halo: Reach, you're tasked with the survival of civilians. Luckily, their survival isn't actually mission critical, considering they have no sense of self-preservation. The militiamen in the mission "Nightfall" will blow themselves up if given the rocket launcher, stand right under enemy dropships, and bum rush Hunters. In your first escort mission with them, they usually get wiped out right at the start. The VIP multiplayer game type in later games is also an escort mission in most forms: one player on one or every team is the "VIP." Depending on the specific game type, the VIP will have different characteristics, and in some cases gives nearby teammates a boost. Technically speaking, you're actually doing this most of the time in the mainline games: In Halo: The Fall of Reach, the Spartans were told they'd receive a hacking escort for a mission. They immediately objected on the grounds that, civilian or elite soldier, they couldn't possibly keep up with a Spartan. Cue Cortana, your trusty AI companion who's usually safe inside your armor.

Escort Mission / int_76376304	comment	Metro 2033 has a wide variety of such escort missions: When you're traveling with Bourbon or Khan, it's more of a Reverse Escort Mission: they're invulnerable and can easily deal with the mutants you get into a fight with, while Artyom struggles because of poor equipment or shortages of ammunition. In a short but intense section at the start of the journey to D6, where you're tasked with protecting Vladimir, a tech, from a Nosalis attack. It's not so bad in that he is decently durable and usually hangs around far in the back, and by this point you're free to fire off those shiny pre-war 5.45mm rounds you were using as money while there were still shops, which are ideal to trounce the mutants with. The third instance is not nearly as pleasant: further into D6, Miller's Gameplay Ally Immortality is disabled and you have to protect him from giant amoebas. His Volt Driver is strong enough to One-Hit Kill the amoebas and he's not quite Made of Plasticine, but he's a poor pace escortee in that he just keeps walking, the Volt Driver has a poor fire rate so he can only deal with a few amoebas at a time, and worse, he completely ignores the pores said amoebas spawn from (which are even more of a pain in that they require exactly eight shots to destroy regardless of weapon damage, so if you don't have something with high ROF like a Kalash 2012, you're boned). The only way to guarantee that the dumb bastard survives is to rush ahead of him while keeping that trigger pressed to mow down everything in your way, especially the damn pores; in the first part it's at least made less painful in that if you rush fast enough, Miller's AI won't receive the command to move forward and into amoeba territory until you get within a certain range, giving you time to clear the whole way at your leisure. The final stretch of the game is another escort mission with Miller, except he's invulnerable again. The main problem stems from the sheer amount of Watchmen rushing you two, and Miller can only engage one at a time; it's made worse in that, being an outdoors level, you depend on your gasmask, which the Watchmen can eventually break, and there's only one replacement near the end in a not-very-obvious spot.

Escort Mission / int_7668653a	comment	While it's not really an "escort" mission because you don't have to take him anywhere, Archangel's/Garrus' recruitment mission in Mass Effect 2 involves Shepard & Co. infiltrating his base and making sure he survives the giant masses of mercenaries and freelancers all attempting to kill him, which involves leaving him at his sniper perch and sealing the base. He takes damage over time (like 20% of his health bar every minute or so), turning it into a Timed Mission with a Nonstandard Game Over at the end of it, but you can leave one of your two party members with him to slow this rate. Bizarrely, his AI actually seems more competent during this mission than when he's actually in your party: he doesn't run blindly into hordes of enemies with a sniper rifle, for one. As to your business, at one point you have to reach a button on the other side of a flood of krogan, varren and vorcha. Depending on your playstyle, you might clear the room faster (and thus limit the damage to Garrus) if you have both squadmates at your side. Another strange example comes at the end of the game at the Collector Base. In this section, you're required to follow your chosen biotic specialist across a long and largely exposed bridge. Despite this, in an odd subversion the specialist is escorting you at the same time; they protect you from being eaten by seeker swarms while you protect them from the hail of bullets and nasty aliens trying to do you all in. Unlike many, many other escort missions, this one isn't irritating, as the specialist has the good sense to take cover whenever the shooting starts, and only moves when you move. (They may also be invincible.) For an escort mission, it's a surprisingly enjoyable and atmospheric segment of the game. At the end of that mission, the specialist can turn around and shoot a shockwave to clear the brunt of the pursuers, leaving only a few for Shepard to pick off at the end of the very satisfying cinematic. Another example from the "Arrival" DLC. It's similar to the Archangel example above, but this time you have to protect Dr. Amanda Kenson while she hacks a security console. There's two main differences between the two missions: Dr. Kenson won't fight back, unlike Garrus, and you have to fight all of the enemies completely alone. Luckily, there aren't as many enemies to fight.

This wouldn't ordinarily be annoying, as nobody is ever in any real danger, but Maya often reminds you to Continue Your Mission, Dammit! while you're trying to disable any given piece of tech, or hear all of the hilarious background dialogue.

Her mobility and intelligence leaves a lot to be desired, unmindful of whatever enemies are in her way, and she has only one heart of health. This is made worse by her having the ability to teleport which she used several times earlier in the game but now just chooses not to use, as well as a glitch that can render her completely immobile if she falls from a height, forcing you to restart the entire level as well as face Vaati all over again.

Escort Mission / int_7785278d	comment	BioShock puts you on the other side of this conflict, with the Big Daddies escorting the Little Sisters while they go to harvest ADAM from corpses. You, as the player in both games, will seek to emancipate the Little Sisters from their watchers. Unfortunately, the Big Daddies take offence to this, and will endeavour to either gut you with their enormous drill, stud your brain cavity with rivets, or turn you into hamburger with missile volleys. And then the last level, Proving Grounds, has a rather infamous escort mission: you (in full Big Daddy regalia) lead a Little Sister through a museum that's been converted into a Little Sister training ground, and even though she's been turned back to normal by Tennenbaum, she's still compelled to stop and "gather" at all of the corpses just to make the level harder. Apparently the cure also made her too dumb to stop gathering and hide behind you when she's getting shot, as the real Little Sisters you encountered in the rest of the game did despite being Nigh-Invulnerable. The one upside is that, just like in the rest of the game, there is no real failure state; Tennenbaum has more Little Sisters you can summon from a vent. And then in BioShock 2, you get to be a Big Daddy watching over the Little Sisters. As in the first game, the Sisters are invulnerable and enemy splicers target you instead, and this is simplified further by having the Little Sisters ride on your back instead of wandering around, leaving you free to decide where the two of you get to go. These were always more like a Protection Mission, the Little Sister stays put to collect Adam when she's not on your back, and you normally have time to fortify the perimeter. In BioShock Infinite, Booker DeWitt's goal is to get Elizabeth out of Columbia. However, the game tells you early-on that you don't have to worry about Elizabeth during combat since enemies more or less ignore her and focus more on the player. While Elizabeth doesn't directly fight alongside Booker, she does make herself useful by either tossing him supplies or by using her ability to open Tears to create useful items for him.

Escort Mission / int_778c0c2c	comment	Dirge of Cerberus has a lot of escort missions, but the first one is following this little boy who runs at your walking pace... this wouldn't be so bad if he actually ran the entire time, but he walks even slower for no reason when he shows he can run. On the plus side, he crouches in a corner whenever enemies attack, making it easier for you; on the other hand, he stands frightened for several seconds before the snipers take a shot right in front of the final door... meaning if he had kept going, you needn't have bothered wasting bullets. The plus point is that none of your escorts have to survive for you to finish the game.

Escort Mission / int_782a1f0	comment	In Phantasy Star Online, the player could be hired by a scientist named Mome who wanted to study the lifeforms native to one of the sections of the game... which involved dragging him through the entire dungeon, including the boss battle. Mome didn't fight and had about as much endurance as a wet tissue, and his death meant that the mission was a failure and you would have to start all the way from the beginning. Sega acknowledged the players' frustration in Version 2 by having him voluntarily play dead during the boss battle. A few also show up in the Spiritual Successor, Phantasy Star Universe. Most aren't as infuriating — helped by the fact that their dying just hurts your end-of-mission rating, instead of ending the mission as a failure — but the one in Chapter 10 of Story Mode is quite annoying, if for the sole reason that one of the escortees is Karen... who was a capable fighter and ally earlier in the game, but is now as fragile as wet tissue paper and barely capable of using her weapons.

The first game's first scenario, "Outbreak", has an NPC named Bob, a colleague of Mark's, who you can guide to the roof of J's Bar, earning a few cutscenes of his zombification as you go; he finally succumbs to it up there. Meanwhile, File #2's final scenario, "End of the Road", has Linda, an Umbrella researcher whose survival is key to earning a good ending.

Hell, even Tommy lampshades this when he tells Lance "he always keeps screwing things up"! He's a fairly good shot, to his credit, but that's about his only redeeming quality. Any mission he's in is a babysitting mission: get five feet ahead of him, and "You left Lance behind", shoot at enemies while he runs around in front of you like a maniac, "You killed Lance!"... if you DON'T shoot at enemies while he runs around in front of you like a maniac, "Lance was killed!". His only competency is shown when he fights you as the final boss, in which he can take two rockets to the face without flinching.

Escort Mission / int_7ac43256	comment	Super Robot Wars: Original Generation: The series is pretty good about Escort Missions. Almost always, the people you have to keep alive are fairly powerful and under your direct control. Sometimes, though, they have to pass through a heavily fortified position with multiple enemies aiming for them, without taking a single hit. This is alleviated, though, by incredible dodging skills. However, there's one mission in the second game where you have to guide an NPC transport ship carrying a prototype mecha through a literal swarm of enemies. The ship has only average HP and defenses, never defends itself (despite being listed as carrying missiles on-board), can't dodge for beans, and isn't controllable. The ship itself can take six or seven hits before going down, but that's considerably less useful when there are twenty or so enemies aiming for it at once. Adding to the dilemma is that, if you want the Skill Point for this stage, you can't even let the thing get SCRATCHED. The only way to achieve this is to send all of your mechs as far forward into the enemy as possible, causing them to attack you instead of the transport. Oh, but if any of THEM die, you fail also. Super Robot Wars 3 pulls this straight with a kick in the balls, where you have to keep Ryune alive while she's surrounded by enemies... And she will attack you. The version of that battle in the first OG game is far more merciful: You don't have to protect her, and if she dies, she just instantly regains her full health. Oh, and she doesn't attack you until after the bad guys are all gone.

You have to keep Peter Puppy from getting hurt on his walk through a ridiculously dangerous area by shooting at him to make him duck for cover and stop moving or whipping at him to make him bounce across pits. If Peter Puppy does get hurt, he turns into a giant monster, chews you up (dragging the two of you backward in the level for good measure), turns back, and then continues marching directly into danger, making for one of the hardest levels in the game. The happy-go-lucky skipping nature of his walk really sells it. Earthworm Jim 2 has the "Puppy Love" sublevels, in which Psy-Crow throws Peter Puppy's children out of one house, and Jim must use a giant marshmallow to bounce them to Pete's house where he catches them with a funnel, until Psy-Crow adds a bomb into the mix, which causes Peter to freak out after catching it, pull it back out and throw it back at Psy-Crow to blow him up, which is repeated several times until he's defeated. Let 3 children splat onto the ground and Pete will become the aforementioned giant monster and turn Jim into his chew toy again.

In the non-European versions of the gamenote the escortee was changed to a regular undead enemy, the escortee is a man trapped in a cage, and you are pushing him up a slope to burn him alive as a human sacrifice. He begs for his life the entire time you're pushing him. Even Kratos seems unhappy with what he's going to do.

However, instead of having them follow you around normally, the game simply has their character model dragged along behind the player like a ragdoll. You can also free multiple hostages before returning them home, resulting in a crowd of madly flailing peasants flopping around behind you.

The hard ones are a pain, but the easy and medium, which do offer good rewards, can be enjoyable, and as the escortees level up, they can be pretty helpful.

Escort Mission / int_87b652bb	comment	An early mission of Starcraft II tasks you with defending APCs filled with colonists from Zerg. Given the setting, they're reasonably resilient but not altogether well-armed: they'll barely survive an assault by a handful of Zerg units and go down in seconds against heavy opposition. The destruction of an APC forces the individual colonists out, meaning you would then have to escort them. Fortunately for you, there's a minimum number of evacuees required to win (as opposed to all), so you can lose some and still win. Naturally however, there's an achievement for no loses. Later in the game (in the mission "Engine of Destruction"), Tychus Findlay is in control of the Odin, a Super Prototype Humongous Mecha of incredible power. Unfortunately, he doesn't notice that his communication device is stuck on "transmit", which means he can't get any commands from Raynor (IE the player). After a short period of bafflement, he decides to just "have some fun" and charge on a maniacal rampage through the Dominion's super-high security weapon testing facility. The Odin is, admittedly, ridiculously strong, but it will be overwhelmed by enemy forces if you don't give it proper support. That's the bad news, but there's a lot of good news that make this mission not just bearable, but actually pretty fun: The Odin has over 5,000 HP (more than any of the buildings in your base, by far); You can repair the mecha, and the enemy usually doesn't target your SCVs and science vessels in combat; The Odin moves slow enough that your forces—most importantly, your SCVs and science vessels that are repairing it—can easily keep up, but not so slow as to be frustrating; He pauses between bases so you have time to prepare for the next one; and The Odin's offensive capabilities are absolutely massive, and can easily crush most ground forces sent against it, especially on lower difficulties. In fact, on the lowest difficulty grade, you don't actually need an army to make it - just send a few SCVs and/or science vessels along and watch the Odin hurt people and break stuff. The next one up only requires you send a few anti-air units to reinforce the Odin. And even if you don't have Goliaths or Vikings to provide anti-air, the game is kind enough to give you Wraiths, which have at least decent anti-air capability. Co-op gives us Mist Opportunities, where you have to defend a number of harvesting bots from enemy attacks. This one becomes especially annoying because the mission giver will blare in your ears about his bots being destroyed when even a single zergling scratches the paintjob. Factor in that he will send out multiple bots over several locations, and you have to also manage your base and production, and the optional bonus objectives, and it quickly turns into chaos. While the bots themselves have decent amounts of hitpoints and a shield that they automatically pop, if you ignore them thinking they'll outlast a few nuisance enemies, things can quickly spiral out of control as more enemy waves appear that can rapidly end your run.

For the most part, though, they're not that bad. Either the NPC you're defending has enough brains to stay back while you run ahead and clear the path, or they have sufficient durability to last more than one repeater hit. Or, especially when you're manning Gatling Guns on moving trains, you're given adequate firepower to do the job properly. They're done so nicely a couple of them double as Crowning Moments of Awesome.

Escort Mission / int_8f4731fb	comment	Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: The escort missions in the series tend to be a source of much frustration, as they require you escort an extremely dumb and often weak Pokemon who among other things, can be easily KO'd by enemy Pokemon, doesn't know how to avoid traps and dangerous terrain, wanders off if it gets so much as one space away from your party in a hallway, can't be issued orders (Keeping you from telling them to stay put if the previous happens), use non-offensive moves with every step (Which frequently causes them to get separated), and picks fights with anything they come across. If they get KO'd, then it's counted as a loss for you, and while having Reviver Seeds on hand will save them, you'll likely end up burning through so many (Especially in dungeons with Pokemon who possess long-range or full room attacks to snipe the escort) that the mission's rewards won't cover the expenses. Ultimately in many cases, the best way to do these is to position the team in a long hallway with only two access points, putting controllable team members on either side of the escort and ordering them to stay, and then having the leader go solo to find the stairs. Some dungeons have dead ends — this makes it far easier as it now only takes one guard to protect the escortee while two team members can go through the dungeon. The mandatory escort mission with Gengar in Rescue Team is especially painful, as he can walk through walls, and needs to be escorted through a dungeon with Pokemon who can do the same. Problem is, if you're incapable of moving through walls as well, you won't be able to aid him in fighting any Pokemon that attack him from within the walls, which will likely ensure his demise. Explorers has an even worse mandatory escort in Cresselia. While she's not a total pushover, she's still dumb as dirt and you have to fight one of the most difficult bosses in the game with her in tow, where she'll likely end up burning through your precious Reviver Seeds as a result of one of her IQ skills making her take hits for adjacent low HP allies. Mercifully, Gates To Infinity ended up averting it by removing escort missions entirely, and while you are still forced to bring Pokemon along with you at times, you no longer lose if they're KO'd, they take orders just like a standard team member, and are a lot less stupid overall.

The quest is titled "The Best Kind of Quest" and is about leading a group of researchers through the Wildspire Wastes; while they move slowly (normal walking pace), they can't actually be harmed or even attacked by any of the monsters. The mission is effectively the same as any number of quests in the game where the player goes to designated points on the map before a scripted monster attack occurs. You can even wander away from the researchers and explore (or fight the Rathian that shows up) with no greater penalty than having to hear the Handler say "Let's see what kind of present Zorah Magdaros has left for us!" about fifty times.

That green Outcast dolphin is fairly good at keeping your pace, but for being a part of the Resistance, which is supposed to be the only thing standing in the way of those ugly Clan dolphins, he's kind of a wimp. His job is to guide you to the end of the level, and your job is to make sure he and those annoying Clan guards don't come within ten feet of each other. If one gets near him, he'll squeal and try to go back to where he came from, and you have to track him down and sonar him to get him back to the task at hand. The original series has a few of these as well, with guiding dolphins and baby orca back to their podmates. For the most part these aren't too bad—the NPCs can't be harmed and can't drown either, however the baby orca hunt in hard mode of Tides of Time approaches Scrappy Level proportions due to the sheer number of lost calves.

In most cases, however, you gain control of said NPC as a Guest-Star Party Member and can direct them away from the action, and because the AI isn't programmed to target the escortee specifically unless it becomes the juiciest target on display they safety is usually guaranteed outside a Total Party Kill. The most memorable example of this trope in the series is probably an inversion, however: The AG Chemie Europa run in Dragonfall sees you escorting the MKVI prototype out of the building to your extraction point, and to say that it's not defenceless would be an understatement and then some. Losing the combined rest of the party is probably easier than losing the MKVI.

For most of the game she is in the background, nudging you along the right path, like a fairy but not as annoying. She will occasionally enter battle with you, but if she dies in battle, the game is over. You may think about focusing some of your attention toward her, but the monster AI prioritizes you and the princess AI prioritizes on keeping her away. While she is accurate with her arrows, she is not a sniper and may occasionally hit you (with apologies). Her health is also fairly high and will regenerate over time. There are three exceptions to the exception: the first is a room where the only initial entrance/exit is a hole in a wall which is partially blocked by stone debris. Once Farah enters the room, she can't get back out and the enemy AI evenly splits focus between the two of you. The second is one of the times you are separated; she runs into a bit of sand monster trouble and calls out for help. You have to find her before she dies, and the area is somewhat confusing. The third, and worst, is the Tower of Dawn elevator sequence, which simply has so many enemies jammed into a small area that some of them will inevitably target Farah. She doesn't really have that much health when being intentionally attacked, causing her to be killed easily, and there's really nowhere for her to run. Clearly you never encountered the bug where, in the library section that has spike pits, she endlessly walks off the edge and dies. Over and over. And Rewinding doesn't help.

Escort Mission / int_9a8bf274	comment	Command & Conquer: One GDI mission in the original game has the player not only facing off against a formidable Nod installation, but having to protect the eccentric Dr. Moebius from the enemy while doing so. This in itself wouldn't be so bad (the player can even control the good doctor and keep him out of harm's way), except the orders also extend to protecting the local civilian population in general - civilians whom Nod likes to attack for no adequately explained reason, and failing that, they have an inexplicable habit of wandering into nearby Tiberium fields and dying themselves. Command and Conquer: Zero Hour, the GLA campaign starts with you having to escort a car which can only take 2 shots from anything more than an assault rifle, and that's on Easy mode. Every enemy also automatically targets the escort as a first priority over all of the other units in the area, INCLUDING artillery, which means that the escort can be killed by artillery platforms that the player cannot even see yet. Needless to say, players around the world hate this mission. In Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars, while most of the escort vehicles—such as the MCV—are tough enough to survive, the bonus objectives for the Escort Missions include the words "unharmed." The worst are undoubtedly the Nod Australia missions.

Escort Mission / int_9a92dd14	comment	Traffic Department 2192 is generally not very difficult, with the exception of one mission where you are expected to guide five unarmed trucks filled with medical supplies from one base to another while swarms of enemy crafts attempt to destroy them. Because of the locations that the enemies come from, it is not as simple as merely following the trucks; you have to preemptively destroy the enemy before they even get there, or they will swarm the trucks and easily demolish them. Worse yet, if even one truck is destroyed, your mission is considered a failure.

The escortee's AI is programmed to stay as close to you as possible, which makes sense... until you run into enemies and they're still sticking close to you, even as you climb up a cyclops and they run around under its feet and get squished. It's best to know where they'll ask to go, get the lay of the land and where large monsters like to ambush you, and then kill said large monsters and take the person on their escort mission before they respawn three days later.

Ultimate Spider-Man (2005): Venom must keep Electro from frying an unconscious Spider-Man, made more bearable by the fact that Spidey's unconscious, and won't do anything stupid, so it'll be only your fault if you let him get roasted alive. Spider-Man (2000) game for the Playstation requires Spider-Man to protect J. Jonah Jameson from a rampaging Scorpion, but fortunately Jameson has the sense to run like hell while the player stalls the Scorpion. Spider-Man: The Movie: At one point, you have to save a random civilian, who, after witnessing you battle a Super Villain, starts talking calmly on his mobile phone and becomes oblivious to the fact that the building you're in is collapsing around him. Then he just stands there while you run around trying to save him. Sure, he's not running into trouble, but he's not running away from it, either.

Escort Mission / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall escort missions are very controllable due to the limitations of the game engine - your escortee's portrait appears in the upper corner of your screen and goes wherever your character goes until the quest time limit is up. The only way for the escortee to die is to die yourself. Morrowind: Every escortee is a Leeroy Jenkins due to their AI. You'll be very thankful when you can tell them to "wait here" while you clear the path ahead, but for several escort missions, that isn't an option. That withered old pilgrim who begs you to escort her to a local shrine? She won't hesitate for a second to charge that Atronach made of fire with her fists swinging. She also moves painfully slowly, and won't hesitate to rush into battle despite being equipped with nothing more than fancy clothes, no armour or weapons. The journal updates as you progress through the quest make note of how irritating she is, and the quest is even called The Annoying Pilgrim. The game actively wants you to defy this trope, because she only gives 100 gold as a reward upon reaching your destination, but you can loot 500 if you "accidentally" let her die, meaning that you don't have much incentive to protect her. Further complicating matters is that most escortees are extremely slow. They often run slower than you walk. Perhaps the most frustrating one is the escaped Argonian slave in the middle of nowhere. Not only is he in the middle of nowhere, he is really slow, and to make matters worse, you can't use transportation like teleportation, ships, or stilstriders with him. You literally have to walk him several in-game hours to the place he needs to be in order to complete the quest. In an early Mages Guild quest, you're likely better off standing back and letting your escortee do all the fighting - he's a wizard of modest power who starts blasting away at any baddies he sees, is more than capable of killing most threats, and doesn't care if you're in the way. Oblivion: Oblivion features some quests that, upon conclusion, give you the option to escort a (usually defenseless) NPC out of a dungeon. It also usually gives you the option to tell the poor sap to find their own way out. A few of the Oblivion escortees are invulnerable plot-important NPCs and can be used as impromptu companions/party members by enterprising players. Most notable is Martin Septim, who you can go adventuring with throughout Cyrodil for months before finally bringing him back to become Emperor. Unfortunately, his invincibility runs out near the end of the game, when he decides to participate in a huge battle. If he dies, you fail. The Knights of the Thorn mission involves escorting a Leeroy Jenkings/Miles Gloriosus hybrid "knight" and his buddies through an Oblivion Gate. Thankfully, you can still complete the mission without too significant of a penalty if he dies, but if you want to keep him alive, get ready for some serious frustration. A major problem is that the inside of the tower you go through is one room with 3 levels. However, the companions don't know that and only know that there's a Scamp on the 3rd floor and by the Nine they're gonna kill it. So they charge through the entire building and usually run into stronger enemies in the hallways. It's a shame that one of the few times the game's pathfinding is good ends up screwing you... An alternative is to run across the lava to avoid the suicidal morons and just finish the mission solo. Sure, the lava will hurt you, but it's preferable to escorting them. Seriously. Most people you escort/follow have the horrendous trait of moving faster than your walking speed but slower than your running speed, so you're constantly dancing around them either catching up or waiting for them to catch up. The worst part comes when you get too far ahead, and they stop and yell for you to catch up with them, despite you being closer to their destination than they are. Oblivion contains several rescue missions, but only two where the NPC cannot be told to hang back. And in one of those two, you can simply ignore the NPC until you clear the place out. A large majority of these missions are Fighters Guild for some reason. However, perhaps the most famous escort mission of any Elder Scrolls game occurs when the Fighters' Guild sends you to help someone get somewhere and you fail. What starts as a simple escort mission turns into a no-time-limit political conspiracy minor story that can net the player a constant flow of resources until completed. Lampshaded in a Mage's Guild mission where you meet someone who tells you to follow him and then charges straight into a deadly trap. You don't fail the mission, it's just there for color. (Red, mostly.) The first Oblivion gate you go in has you meet an NPC who comes with you. You don't have to protect him at all, but he'll put up a good fight. Also, should you want to do the Dark Brotherhood quests, he's a good target for an "accidental" fireball... There is also of course the final mission of the main quest, in which you have to escort Martin Septim (and some guards if you can) through hordes of invading Daedra to the temple of the one so he can light the Dragonfires and defeat Mehrunes Dagon. Unfortunately, it's very easy to hit your allies when trying to hit an enemy, and it's also very hard to heal your allies without healing the enemies near them. Skyrim: There is one as part of a quest in the village of Dawnstar. Unlike most people you travel with, he will walk at a deliberate and slow pace, will require you to stay with him or he won't continue, and he likes to stop and talk a lot. However, you need him to open a few doors and dispel a magical barrier protecting a quest-related artifact. Thankfully, he's invulnerable and can handle himself in a fight, but the pathfinding can glitch. The other problem with this and some of the earlier escort missions is that Friendly Fire is in play and the escortee will turn on you. Erandur's quest is particularly susceptible to this with the tight corridors. Thankfully, later escorts (such as Serana in Dawnguard) are much more tolerant of accidental attacks.

Escort Mission / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: In PokÃ©mon Diamond and Pearl, there are a few missions where you escort a fellow trainer. These trainers heal your and their PokÃ©mon after every battle, are moderately helpful in battle (in particular, you keep getting attacked by two opposing trainers at once, and having an ally makes it closer to fair), and don't pass out and cause a Game Over when their PokÃ©mon faint. Completing one of these missions nets you the ability to partner up with the trainer again in the Battle Tower. More than that, by the end of the mission, you'll sometimes receive a rather good reward. The only reason they could possibly irk you is if you're trying to catch 'em all; not only do wild PokÃ©mon start coming in twos (and you can't catch one Pokemon unless you faint the other), but Cheryl's Chansey doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "please stop using Egg Bomb so I can capture this thing alive". Of course, you can just knock your partner's PokÃ©mon out yourself. This also happens three times in PokÃ©mon Black 2 and White 2. First, you escort Hugh in the Castella City Sewers. Later, you escort Bianca in Reversal Mountain. Finally, after you complete the main storyline, you escort Cheren in Pinwheel Forest. In each case, unlike Diamond and Pearl, each partner has more than one PokÃ©mon. Otherwise, it's the same as before. In the original PokÃ©mon Ranger, you are forced to lead a mechanic. And he's scared of bugs. Every time he sees one, he runs to the beginning of the mission. But... you have to guide him through a dense jungle! Well, if you're scared of Caterpie and the like, can't you just stay outside the jungle and I'll go and bring the part to you! And when you get to the part, he pisses off a Gyarados (of all things!). What makes this mission even worse is that Bug types will target you incessantly. There is nothing more infuriating than getting the mechanic to the other side of an area only for an Ariados to tackle him and send him scurrying back to the start.

Escort Mission / int_a2933316	comment	Iron Marines has a few of these. Some missions have the escortee controllable, where some other missions have the AI control them. One early mission involves escorting an alien diplomat who moves very slowly as hordes of aliens attack you and her while a meteor shower rains down. She's capable of putting up Deflector Shields, and the game will helpfully warn you with a red flashing screen if she's in an area where a meteor will strike soon. Ascendaar has a mission to escort a hacker to hack some Peripheroid terminals. She's of average speed, somewhat durable and will heal over time, thankfully, but enemies can and will attack from the front and back. The main trouble is that this mission is timed, which means you have to make sure you're constantly moving forwards if she's not hacking terminals. One of Borealis' missions has you escort Ga'r King to a giant horn so he can blow it. Thankfully he's controllable, and Rank Scales with Asskicking is in full force here — not only is the king more durable than a mecha, he can eat a huge chunk of meat to restore a good amount of health, deals massive damage to grounded enemies with his battlehammer and throws big chunks of ice that are heavily damaging against Airborne Mooks. As long as he doesn't get swamped by enemies over a long time period, you should be fine. White Fangs has you escort AI-controlled Fenrir and Fenrir Alphas. The good news is that they have slightly more health than their mook selves, the bad news is that Raad Portals will spawn in when they're trying to get to the exit... and being beasts and all, the Fenrir will happily charge into any spawned Raad and try to take them down while getting damaged by the Raad attacks. You can only afford to lose 7 Fenrir in this mission, too. Prevention is better than cure, and it's thus essential to take down the Raad Portals before they spawn any Raad at all. The battle against Nexus. You have a turtle-like Spider Tank who moves slower than molasses, and the boss has several nasty attacks that will target it and deal great damage or even One-Hit Kill it. Your goal is to damage the boss enough so that he retreats into the portal, then move the Tortugon the portal to destroy it, and it must be done three times, each subsequent time gives the boss a slew of nastier attacks. While your Tortugon is quite durable, its slow speed will put it in the way of the boss' attacks, and if any of them are destroyed you fail the mission. The only good news is that you get a brand new Tortugon with full HP for each phase.

The only saving grace of this mission is that he's immune to Zero's own weapons, so you can stand "on top" of him swinging the saber and create a kind of force field. The injured ally CAN die if you become careless enough.

Though the first case involves escorting Dr. Moebius, that suit of powered armor he wears puts him on the same level as battleships, major geological formations, and small planets in terms of how little concern he gives for small arms fire (in all seriousness, he can take fire from nearly a dozen enemies armed with tiberium and laser weapons and several ceiling-mounted chainguns for about thirty seconds and only have his health depleted by about a quarter). He actually makes the level easier because his armor lets him tank enemy gunfire and draw it away from you, letting you kill the enemies shooting at him with impunity. Don't hit him though, because friendly fire will shred his armor like paper. The second case is a lot worse because Sydney is unarmed and unarmored, and dies pretty quickly. However, you can run out ahead of her before even getting the escort objective and clear enemies out of the rooms beyond. When you reach the silo, Sydney won't raise the elevators until you step on them, letting you stay on the lower levels and snipe badguys on the upper levels before moving up each floor. So if you fight intelligently, the escort mission becomes pretty easy.

Escort Mission / int_a670a7dc	comment	A most annoying example is Nobutada Oda in Warriors Orochi's Samurai Warriors campaign, mission seven. The mission has a huge map, a metric ton of Mooks and Officers, and contains three powerful bosses — Keiji Maeda, Masamune Date, and Da Ji. You must protect Nobutada, but, instead of staying inside your base where he can be protected easily, he idiotically rushes out of it, usually leading to his untimely demise at the hands of some Mook. Even worse if you're trying to get a thousand kills in order to unlock the final gaiden chapter, since you have to babysit him as well as doing that.

Then all you need to get the credit is to be in range when each one walks off the edge of the map.

It involves guiding your fellow campter Dogen through a minefield. It's complicated by the fact that Dogen will always walk right towards you in a straight line regardless of what's in-between, and that he frequently panics and has to be reassured to stop him from bolting and running over a mine. The last level, "The Meat Circus" starts with a segment that's part Escort Mission and part Rise to the Challenge, as it requires Raz to protect Coach Oleander's inner child after their mindscapes accidentally merge, while navigating a tricky series of jumps and acrobatic features.

Escort Mission / int_a9517b88	comment	God of War: God of War: In the second stage of the final boss, you must protect a stationary target from a horde of enemies. In the non-European versions of the gamenote the escortee was changed to a regular undead enemy, the escortee is a man trapped in a cage, and you are pushing him up a slope to burn him alive as a human sacrifice. He begs for his life the entire time you're pushing him. Even Kratos seems unhappy with what he's going to do. God of War II has one very brief Escort Mission in the Temple of the Fates, where Kratos has to forcibly drag a translator about 100 feet to an inscription, protecting him en route and while he reads. Of course, after you take care of all the enemies, Kratos immediately kills the translator by bashing his head into the altar (it's required, though; the inscription ends with the reader offering himself as a sacrifice to prove the subject's worthiness). God of War III features two escort portions. Get ready to hear Pandora calling for help for the last leg of the game, because she likes to walk into a room and stand on the giant X marked beneath the room's newest deathtrap. It's somewhat subverted in that during combat sequences, the escortee will do lots of dodge-rolls to make sure she gets out of the way.

Another student named Lauren, who has fashioned herself as a sort of Trickster Mentor to Emily, turns the race into this trope for Emily by arranging for a very weak student named Janet Yawkly to also run in Emily's heat. Emily knows that Yawkly isn't strong enough to protect herself and will likely be attacked by the other girls in her heat, so Emily has to both complete the course herself while also keeping Yawkly alive.

A Twi'lek asks you to lead him out of a droid-infested military base. Fortunately, at the point you meet him, all droids behind you should be dead already, and even if they aren't, they seem to have no interest in the guy. The problem? Because of the poor AI, you have to be very lucky to stand in the right spot so then he realizes he should start moving and follow you. But there might be crates in his way, and sometimes he runs in the opposite direction entirely. Frankly, you can just kill him and loot his body, or leave him be, all this mission is worth is a few light side points.

Yumil himself can't fight, but he's got four black knights with him that are WAY stronger than anything you'll face on the map and anything you have access to for a decent portion of the game. While the black knights aren't invincible, the only way Yumil will die is if you ignore him and let him wander into repeated fights, which you shouldn't do anyways because it means no experience for your troops and Yumil leaves the next mission.

Some were straight escorts where the NPC would follow you until close to safety and then would leave automatically (giving you experience points). Others were averted in that once rescued, the NPC would leave to make their own way "home" (you still got XP). Interestingly, the NPCs you needed to escort were always at least reasonably good fighters and although they could die, they had enough health to survive long enough for you to rescue them.

If you get the cola, you are escorted by your team mates as they protect you from the infected rushing in to attack. If someone else gets the cola, you have to protect them. The roles can easily switch if someone fumbles the cola or passes it to someone else. In the Dark Carnival level of Left 4 Dead 2, you can play one of the carnival games and, if you score high enough, win a prize of a lawn gnome. If you manage to get the gnome (named Gnome Chompsky) to the end of the level, you get a special achievement. Since one of your party members has to carry the gnome in lieu of a weapon, this winds up being an ersatz escort quest of sorts for whoever is gnome-carrier, although he can be dropped and exchanged for a weapon at any time, then picked back up after carnage has ensued.

Escort Mission / int_b5a2b326	comment	Morrowind: Every escortee is a Leeroy Jenkins due to their AI. You'll be very thankful when you can tell them to "wait here" while you clear the path ahead, but for several escort missions, that isn't an option. That withered old pilgrim who begs you to escort her to a local shrine? She won't hesitate for a second to charge that Atronach made of fire with her fists swinging. She also moves painfully slowly, and won't hesitate to rush into battle despite being equipped with nothing more than fancy clothes, no armour or weapons. The journal updates as you progress through the quest make note of how irritating she is, and the quest is even called The Annoying Pilgrim. The game actively wants you to defy this trope, because she only gives 100 gold as a reward upon reaching your destination, but you can loot 500 if you "accidentally" let her die, meaning that you don't have much incentive to protect her. Further complicating matters is that most escortees are extremely slow. They often run slower than you walk. Perhaps the most frustrating one is the escaped Argonian slave in the middle of nowhere. Not only is he in the middle of nowhere, he is really slow, and to make matters worse, you can't use transportation like teleportation, ships, or stilstriders with him. You literally have to walk him several in-game hours to the place he needs to be in order to complete the quest. In an early Mages Guild quest, you're likely better off standing back and letting your escortee do all the fighting - he's a wizard of modest power who starts blasting away at any baddies he sees, is more than capable of killing most threats, and doesn't care if you're in the way.

Escort Mission / int_b63ff53e	comment	Escort Duty missions in Deep Rock Galactic requires you to escort and protect a Drilldozer (called Doretta) while it homes in on an Ommoran Heartstone that you are trying to recover. The mission manages to avoid most of the issues with escort missions: Doretta moves at a decent pace with occasional stops for refueling, you can repair her if she takes damage (unless she passes one of the breakpoints at each third of her HP), she won't get lost since she just plows through the walls and since the glyphids are mostly coming from one direction (behind you) it's closer to a wave defense mission than an actual escort mission in a lot of ways. And best of all, you don't need to escort her back out after you pick up the Heartstone; apparently the thing is so valuable the company can just leave her there and not lose money. That said, choosing to carry Doretta's head back to the drop pod to save her is a more conventional escort mission: the dwarf carrying her moves slower and can't fire their weapons, requiring the rest of the team to cover them. She can be thrown a short distance, allowing players to pass her between each other when convenient, or throw her further down the path to use their weapons again, but in the end, one player needs to carry her inside the drop pod in order to save her.

She walks instead of running like Jon, so you don't want to get too far ahead of her. Possibly justified in that she was hiding because of injuries, though she doesn't elaborate. Also, once you know where you're supposed to take her, the trip is actually fairly short.

Ships you have to escort are resilient at first, until you beat the game and get to what is essentially the game's "second quest". You still have all your fancy warships, and now enemies are upgraded with better weapons, equipment and hit points, but now this tends to kill your charges with one or two hits, because no one bothered to compensate these ships against the enemy's new lasers and lightning guns.

Escort Mission / int_bd41836e	comment	StarCraft: There's a brief "escort" segment of an early Terran mission, where you have to get through explored territory with a limited number of military units, SCVs, and a unique unit that might result in failure if he dies. On the other hand, it is done in the first thirty seconds. There is also an escort mission for the Zerg campaign, in which you are equipped with Hydralisks with twice the HP and attack power of normal Hydralisks and a bunch of Zerglings. You are fully in control of the escortee, who can cloak and OHKO most of the units on that map. Also, this being a Zerg campaign, your entire force also regenerates health over time. Talk about overpowering. Earlier on, there is another escort mission for the Zerg campaign, with the escortee being a mere Drone holding an egg. Of course, it was an early mission, which means both your forces and the enemy Protoss blocking the way only have access to basic tech. Combined with the fact that there are few enemies actually guarding the destination, the mission can be done in under ten minutes. The expansion, Brood War also had an escort mission during the Terran campaign. The player had to escort a group of unarmed pilots to steal a fleet of battlecruisers. Fortunately, the player is given full control of the pilots and can just keep them in the rear, and since this is an early mission, it has a relatively easy difficulty. Plus, if you're inept enough to actually lose any pilots, your commander will just simply chastise you and send replacements.

This wouldn't be a problem, but across the middle of the map, there is a giant war going on between two forces, making it a hassle to get through them. Not only does this elf have extremely limited combat skills, he loves to charge into enemy Swamp Mammoths, getting killed instantly, and ending the level. In addition to having to babysit this NPC the entire level, you are also under constant bombardment from enemy mortars, archers, and mages, making your process to the other side of the map incredibly arduous. If you manage to make sure that your escort didn't run into the multitudes of enemy forces, and you managed to get to the location of the artifact alive yourself, you now have to face off against four incredibly difficult Fire Wraiths. Good luck with that.

Escort Mission / int_c0d295c4	comment	Team Fortress 2's "Payload" mode has one team have to lead a mine cart carrying a bomb through a predetermined path to the other team's base. However, it moves slowly, and only moves when a member of the team pushing it is nearby. If no one pushes it for 30 seconds (or if it's let go of while on an incline, in some of the newer maps), it starts going backwards. However, it's the escorter that finds themselves being shot at, and if the player is on the other team, the goal is to get the escort mission to fail. The bomb itself is completely invulnerable, is useful as cover (as most classes can still keep up with it while crouched), and even dispenses health and ammo. Players are also just as capable of "pushing" it by standing on top or even in front of it. Many players consider it to be the best mode in the game. Later, the game got a mode called "Payload Race", where both teams have to push a cart of their own and fend the other team's cart. The "End of the Line" fan-made update introduced a map called "Snowplow". It's similar to Payload where a team must lead a full-sized train to the end of the track while the other team must prevent it from reaching the end, with the difference that the train can be damaged by traps laid in the tracks. The attacking team must disable these traps by standing on points, while the defending team must protect these points so the traps keep damaging the train until it breaks. Finally, there's the Game Mod known as Stop That Tank!, where the payload has been replaced with the Tank boss from Mann vs. Machine mode. It moves on its own, and the BLU team is now entirely robots tasked with stopping RED from destroying the tank. Should RED succeed in destroying the tank, the topscoring BLU players can turn into Giant Robots and carry another bomb, capturing any remaining control points along the way.

It flies straight and level the whole time, taking no evasive action whatsoever. Then again, it can't possibly outmaneuever a fighter anyway, so its pilot probably figured that straight and level flight at least meant you, the defender, would know where it is. It's not a combat aircraft — based on the real-life E-2 and E-3 AWACS aircraft, it's a cargo airframe with a giant, cumbersome radar antenna stuck on top. Then there's the level with the ground transports. They actually stop when there's a sniper nearby, but they're completely oblivious to battle pods and get ripped apart in 5 seconds or less by their guns. Izzy is even worse — she has weapons, but she also has the crappiest AI on the market, nonexistent armor, and a tendency to think that she can take on the entire rebel army at once. The icing on the cake is that you have absolutely no support in any of these missions. Except for Izzy when she's in a Veritech, but she's absolutely useless, and even worse when she sticks herself in a Cat's Eye.

Escort Mission / int_c3e7ab30	comment	In Perfect Dark, a mission in which the player must escort the President of the United States through a hostile traitorous NSA-controlled Air Force One becomes greatly problematic for many reasons. In addition to having a penchant for running aimlessly into walls, the President is also commonly killed if the player doesn't first escort him to an escape pod before attempting to complete another mission objective... which is to set explosives on the Skedar warship that has latched onto the aircraft. While the player is aware that the explosion is dangerous, the President, on the other hand, does not. This is made even worse as this section of the level is a Timed Mission. The following mission, where Air Force One crash lands and you have to escort the President to an extraction point, is even worse. He simply loves to run in front of your semi-automatic rifle while you're sniping someone far away. Dr. Caroll becomes your escort in a couple of missions. Plotwise, he is a very smart AI, but as far as game programming goes, he has very little spatial awareness and can be torn apart by anyone with a CMP150. He generally does try to stay behind you, but on higher difficulties there is very little time between seeing "Dr. Caroll is under attack" and "Dr. Caroll has been killed!" There is also the chapter where, as Mr. Blonde, you must find and "escort" Cassandra to the helipad. While the area between her and the helipad isn't too large and enemies don't actively go after her, one of the enemies has a N-Bomb that will easily kill Cassandra if he throws it. Not only that, but Cassandra will often ruin your aim as she runs right in front of you, and considering how fragile she is, you'll most likely kill her if you accidentally hit her. The trick to that level was to go upstairs and clear out all the enemies first, then come back and get Cassandra once the coast was clear. You'd have to do the whole stage pretty quickly to make it to the end before the time limit was up (especially on Perfect Agent), but it saved you a lot of headache in the long run. Any level where the player is accompanied by Jonathan or Elvis also amounts to an escort mission. They're ostensibly there to help you, but they're dumb as hell and it's game over if they die. Jonathan, in Area 51 - Escape, doesn't really bother to run after you, instead staying behind to try and clear out the enemies coming after you two, and since all he has is a DY357 Magnum, it takes him a while to get it done with, forcing you to speed things along if the Superdragon-armed enemies, who have a tendency to get packed together at this point of the level, don't mow him down first.

One grating task involves fending off a barrage of nuclear missiles aimed at Akatsuki. He can't fight back, he only has a pitiful amount of HP, and he is subject to friendly fire rules, so bringing a mech with a Wave-Motion Gun is asking for trouble. Federation vs. Zeon in Campaign mode gives you these every now and again, and the escortee is always either big and unmoving (God help you if you bring a beam weapon to defend these guys, half the damage it takes will be from you shooting it through your targets), or fast but extremely easy to kill. On the plus side, this isn't some sort of Fake Difficulty on the part of the player - you get just as many missions where you're tasked with destroying columns of these sorts of targets, and they're just as fragile as they would be under your care, making these some of the more fun missions.

The thing is, he seems to be blind, since he just charges stupidly ahead regardless of whether or not one of said monsters is right in front of him, and if he gets hit once, you have to start all over. It doesn't help that he has to stroll through the entire field despite the fact that Hunter is literally ten feet from where you start. It gets worse if you kill the Earthshapers first, once you get the unlimited Superflame powerup: turns out he is programmed to take a route that makes him run into every single one of them. To rephrase: he makes you fight off every Earthshaper on purpose. And if you don't have the Headbash skill yet (which you're supposed to acquire in a later level, meaning you most likely don't) you can't complete the mission that comes immediately afterwards. So if you want 100% completion, you have to come back... and do the escort mission AGAIN. Spyro: Year of the Dragon has another — this time you play as Sheila and have to escort two haiku-spouting guys through a mushroom field so they can blow up a cage containing a dragon egg. That would be all well and good... except they make sure to take a path that has them run into all the mushrooms unless you stomp them into the ground first, and if they do, their bomb explodes before they reach their destination. Which begs the question of why they decided to light the bomb BEFORE they set off for the cage, rather than when they got there.... To make matters worse, you can't even run ahead and clear out the whole path, because the obstacles regenerate after a short period of time. The first time doing the mission, it seems easy because you can run ahead and destroyed everything, only to fail because the mushrooms popped back out of the ground.

Thankfully, all NPCs are immune to damage in this game. In the Dark World, Link finds the missing swordsmith turned into a frog and trapped behind some heavy rocks (which he can lift with the treasure from the dungeon north of there) and has to take him back to his shop in the Light World. This is of course required to obtain the Infinity -1 Sword from the swordsmiths (which is upgraded to the Infinity +1 Sword later). Another brief one is the old man on Death Mountain whom you lead home after he loses his lantern. The disguised thief Blind has elements of an escort mission. One of the rare examples of the player escorting an enemy boss. Two non-living examples: at one point, Link has the option to "escort" a locked treasure chest to a man who can open it, and later must "escort" a bomb to destroy a certain wall. Both of these are made slightly difficult because pressing "A" (e.g. to run or lift something) or running off a ledge will "disconnect" the item until Link walks back to retrieve it. And if one is not quick enough, the bomb will explode. There is also the monkey that is needed to open the Palace of Darkness. He requires 10 rupees to just have him follow you and another 100 to open the palace. Compared to the other escorts, getting hurt does cause the monkey to run away. This means having to pay another 10 rupees just to get him back. Thankfully, there are about three enemies between finding the monkey and getting to the palace entrance, and it is possible to deny the monkey at first, then go ahead and kill the enemies before coming back.

When they attack her it's a bit easier, since it allows you to carefully line up a devastating shot without worrying about your health. However, if she gets attacked enough she can die, although this is really only an issue on the higher difficulty levels. Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water has the protagonist be followed by an NPC in some of the sections of the game.

Siren 2 has some too, but most of the time the escort is armed, durable, or smart enough to get out of the way.

The paths there are rather infested with wild animals who can easily shred your unprotected self (since you can only get better armor as the plot advances), but the escorts are powerful enough that they can't be hurt and can kill anything they meet. Even better, you gain the experience from their kills (and can loot the bodies), so it's actually in your best interest to have them kill off everything in your way, or near it. Thus, on no less than two glorious occasions, it's finally your turn to be the reckless escorted who keeps wandering off the path, draw aggro from avoidable hostiles, and have to be saved all the time.

Escort Mission / int_cd6d8488	comment	MechCommander is all over the place with this one. The first game is arguably the worst, featuring a level where you must escort a convoy of slow, unarmed, unarmored ambulances to an escape point that just drive in a straight line regardless of what's happening, being a horrific combination of Clueless Snail. While there's an explanation to the slow speed (the ambulances are carrying injured people, so they can't go cross-country at 90kph), their frustrating tendency to just line up and die does not help. Then there's the mission where you must link up with and escort a Raven scout trapped behind enemy lines. This is much more tolerable because at least you can tell the Raven to run like the dickens. Then there's the mission where you have to ensure that the last survivor of a bad combat drop escapes intact. Fortunately, he's in an Atlas, which means he's very tough. Unfortunately, he's in an Atlas, which also means he's very slow, and he has a bad habit of rushing at every available enemy in the name of avenging his company. The sequel was not nearly so obnoxious, thankfully, with very few out and out NPC units that you had to escort; most either accomplished the objective and then retreated, or had the good sense to not stick their heads up when 60-ton Humongous Mecha are stomping about.

Unfortunately, they had just barely survived through a previous vicious encounter in episodes 7 and 8, and aren't too eager to go. Even their instructors attempt to stop them from getting deployed, with one attacking the mechanics pulling out their plane, while another pulls her military insignian off and tells them to seek shelter instead. Unfortunately for the girls associated with them, several of the boys volunteer for it for a variety of reasons. They ultimately fail, and the spotter plane is shot down near the end of the episode.

Sure, Hayate is a sitting duck here, but she can take a lot of hits and her attackers are just three easy to kill Joke Characters who are quick to choose you over Hayate as their target. Essentially, the Escort Mission's only hard if you're bad at using Vita.

Escort Mission / int_d212a05e	comment	Resonance of Fate has you escorting an idol of Reanbell/Leanne on a floating platform through an "Open-Air Studio" containing possessed wooden dolls equipped with everything from flamethrowers to bazookas to a giant woodchipper. The idol is uncontrollable, goes on a preset path no matter what danger is in its way, can be damaged by enemies or even accidentally by your party while you initiate a heroic action, and cannot be healed unless you happen to have 50,000 Rubies. Good luck. However, you can stop the idol by placing one of your party members in its path, making this level much more tolerable. This scenario makes a return as a stage in Project Ã— Zone, though it's made much easier (the statue is invincible and its movement is abstracted as a turn limit with the objective at the end of the tracks). The best part, however, is Zephyr's reaction, which is a more wordy but extremely pained version of "Oh no, not this again."

Escort Mission / int_d3b17858	comment	Although not technically an escort, the heroes of Final Fantasy Tactics must prevent the death of one or more characters in specific fights; if they fall, it's an instant game over. This is especially irritating in the infamous Riovanes Rooftop mission, where the character in question has a tendency to charge directly at the opponent and get stabbed to death before your team can catch up. If the dice don't land just right, you can lose the game before your first turn. It's not even terribly unlikely that this will happen; it's not unheard of for some players to spend hours retrying the fight (with accompanying cutscene to be sped through) before finally getting a turn off. On the other hand, another mission forces you to escort Agrias, who can (and usually will) cut a bloody swath through a good chunk of the battlefield full of mooks solo, which is a lot more satisfying to play. There's also the mission where you have to protect Olan Durai from bandits. Olan has the power to freeze every enemy on the map with a single move, and it takes no MP to cast. Who's protecting who, exactly? Granted, he's a Squishy Wizard, but the enemy can't kill him when they can't even move.

Escort Mission / int_d4e47577	comment	DoomÂ³: You have to escort a scientist carrying a lamp through the demon-infested darkness. The lantern he carries is convenient so you don't have to pull out your own torch, but he's both a poor pace (he'll just keep walking on at constant speed until he notices he's too far from you a good distance away, and only then will he turn back to meet up with you) and a plasticine (the meager Splash Damage of an Imp's fireball kills him). If you do manage to escort him through the whole section, he plods on ahead to the ladder and triggers an ambush where he's killed anyway, forcing you to fight two more Imps than you normally should. The end result is that escorting the dude is such a hassle that it's less of a headache to let the first Imp kill him, or feed him a grenade yourself. Sentry Bots are powerful little buggers who escort you through a few sections of the game. The one time they might actually die, you need to get them to the end of the area anyway and can make more. Updated versions of the game (or those who modded the original PC version) have removed the need to choose between your flashlight and your gun making this completely optional.

Also, there are mercenaries you can find later on in the game that you can hire to escort you, to a degree. However, for these latter two examples, there is greater reward in killing them off than to complete the escort; that same path the merchants need to get through houses a demon temple that, if you sacrifice your charges there at a specific time, grants you mucho evil points and some of the best bows in the game. If they're on too low health they won't pay you at the end, if this happens, kill the ungrateful bastards.

Once you get inside you discover that the prisoner is already dead, so your objectives are changed accordingly.

While it is somewhat harder than the first game due to most of them being timed, this type of missions are still highly desirable to get because the VIPs you rescue will permanently join you as Scientists, Engineers, or troops. In addition, if one of your troops is captured (through mind control after all of your other units are killed/evacuated), you have the possibility of rescuing them through one of these.

Even wet tissues like his mother and sister are surprisingly resilient and don't have to deal with direct threats for very long, and others like Lorenzo Di Medici are competent enough to defend themselves from attacks for a short while, helpfully flanking opponents so you can Back Stab. There are a handful of Leeroy Jenkins, notably Caternia Sforza from the Battle of Forli DLC, but as long as you've mastered the counterstrike, no escort mission should take you more than two attempts. An intriguing one had you escorting a gondola through Venice, protecting it from archers. The gondola is an easy target, but every single one of the archers is close to the water, making disposing of them simple. One of the online modes in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has one team trying to kill a VIP, making this an Escort Mission for the other team. The longer the VIP survives, the more points the escorters get.

This counts for all kinds of escortees, to the point that you can see a maid merrily going to punch a orc warrior. Early on, you find yourself wandering around with a soldier named Wilbur who is slated to die at a specific point in the plot. To ensure this happens, the game renders him immortal — the worst that can happen to him is that he'll get knocked out for about a minute. The problem is, a lot of side-quests require you to escort people who are about as durable as toilet paper, and have a bad habit of running right up to demons and skeletons and just standing there as if to say "Take my picture". (The worst ones will actually run up to the nearest enemy and start punching them.) Often, the only way to safely escort one of these morons is to know ahead of time that they need escorting, thoroughly clean the area in their path, THEN talk to them.

All three of Patrick McReary's missions, for example, have him accompanying you, and if he dies, you fail. While this can occasionally be a recipe for annoyance because Patrick tends to charge headlong into enemy fire, he can take quite a bit of damage (more than you can, in fact), and helps to draw the enemies' fire, letting you pick off enemies and cops without getting shot at as much. He's an expert at using the game's cover system (one case where the computer actually cheats in your favor), and is packing serious heat of his own, meaning he'll be able to take out enemies as fast as you can. Another case of the Escort Mission adding a slight bit of difficulty to the game without being overly frustrating, and sometimes actually being helpful. Also, any mission where Little Jacob joins you. The situations feel similar to Patrick's missions, except he never charges into certain death, usually advancing as you do, and it somehow feels like he's the one escorting you than you escorting him. GTA4 also includes a Co-Op multiplayer mode called "Hangman's NOOSE," which requires the team to escort an NPC mafia boss to safety. Because the boss is somewhat intelligent, the mission is short, and the case rewards are very high, this might be one of the few escort missions on this list that players seek out and play repeatedly.

The most notable of these escort missions is Ope, the old shaman of whom you must escort through a zombie infested jungle. The old man might as well have a twig as a weapon, and likes to think that running into that group of poisonous zombies is a great idea. The fact that this game is designed for 4 players and Continuing is Painful, if you are playing alone, you will have a REALLY bad time. The problem is compounded by the fact that if you fail the mission, you will respawn at a checkpoint without recovering all the ammunition and grenades you expended in a vain attempt to save the escorted person from their suicidal stroll into zombie mobs.

Escort Mission / int_e3122c8d	comment	This is a large gameplay element of the Dead Rising series, where (in most games) you have the option of escorting survivors to a safe area whilst protecting them from zombies. The first game's survivors are easily the hardest to escort in the series, without the advances in AI the survivors in future installments would have. Dead Rising 2: Some of the survivors are intentionally slow, either due to poor legs or an injury. They travel at a glacial speed unless you can carry them. Dean is the worse example. He's injured, and Chuck even asks if he needs a shoulder back to the safe-house. Dean refuses to be carried. He'll slowly, slowly limp, and while you can use a wheelchair to make things go faster, it's still annoying. Find a Leadership magazine, and even the slow characters (save one, who is in a mermaid suit) become almost as fast as you, and will shoot many a zombie in your path. Dead Rising 2: Case West is a subversion of this. There are still survivors in the game, complete with requests (arguably less ridiculous than the main game). But once you deliver what the survivor needs, they'll make their way out of the facility on their own. Justified in that they work for Phenotrans, so they'll know their way around the facility.

While you're on the ground, the crewmate will run to be under you, wherever you are, but he won't move while you're on the ceiling. It's quite hard to do, but then again, so is the rest of the game.

Escort Mission / int_e5de447c	comment	X-COM: Terror Missions in XCOM: Enemy Unknown are a pain to complete because the civilians you are supposed to save are dumb as hell. They will barely move, and will stay hunkered down even when there is a Muton standing several feet from them in a flanking position. They won't even make an effort to get closer to your troops, even if they are in plain sight, forcing you to risk at least one of your soldiers by sending him to stand right next to the civilian. Thankfully, once you reach them, they will automatically run to the extraction point and be out of your hair, and a few of them getting killed is basically unavoidable: you can expose them to Friendly Fire with no direct consequences and as long as less than quarter of them die, you'll still get full benefits from doing the mission. XCOM: Enemy Unknown has several of these in the form of randomly-assigned Council missions. They're a bit easier than most examples, given that you can actually control the VIP that you have to protect, but that doesn't change the fact that they can be killed in a single hit with the aliens' most basic weapon. The base game also skewed enemy priority, to the point that given a choice between shooting your soldier with a 50% chance to hit, and shooting your VIP with an 80% chance to hit, they'll aim for the soldier every time. The expansion pack Enemy Within, however, re-prioritizes enemy actions, to the point that your VIPs will die a lot. The expansion also features EXALT extraction missions where you have to extract an undercover operative who has infiltrated an EXALT cell. In addition to you having full control over the agent, the agent is actually one of your own soldiers and, unlike the VIPs from the Council missions, can be armed with a pistol weapon and one piece of extra gear. Thus depending on the soldier's skills, the agent can be just as deadly as one of your soldiers in a firefight. Likewise, in XCOM 2 you can get similar missions where you have to escort a VIP to safety, possibly after breaking them out of a cell. While it is somewhat harder than the first game due to most of them being timed, this type of missions are still highly desirable to get because the VIPs you rescue will permanently join you as Scientists, Engineers, or troops. In addition, if one of your troops is captured (through mind control after all of your other units are killed/evacuated), you have the possibility of rescuing them through one of these.

The thing is, he seems to be blind, since he just charges stupidly ahead regardless of whether or not one of said monsters is right in front of him, and if he gets hit once, you have to start all over. It doesn't help that he has to stroll through the entire field despite the fact that Hunter is literally ten feet from where you start. It gets worse if you kill the Earthshapers first, once you get the unlimited Superflame powerup: turns out he is programmed to take a route that makes him run into every single one of them. To rephrase: he makes you fight off every Earthshaper on purpose.

Escort Mission / int_e60954ea	comment	Armored Core tend to have the people be escorted in rather flimsy mechs or even flimsier tanks or APCs. This is made easier by the fact that most escorts take a few seconds to get started on the field after you, with the easiest ones taking up to a full minute. Enemies also rarely spawn in Armored Core — the field is what you've got to deal with, and nothing ever sneaks up on the back of the escort. As such, a fast mech can tear ass ahead and start gutting the oncoming waves far ahead of the escort without any real concern for the escort. It still can't ever take a hit though.

To get the second Momento in Chapter 14, the player has to take every fort and get Darios to the castle tower while keeping his health above 80%. However, every enemy can take it down below that with just 2 or 4 hits. Without strong enough characters or weapons to beat enemies quick enough, the player has to gaurd him and let the computer allies get the bases. Not helped by the fact that Darios will keep running off to fight every enemy in the area. Have fun restarting the stage everytime Darios gets so much as a scratch him.

If you do not rush your units to kill the archer before he gets there, it is basically impossible. Luckily, there is a way to cheat in this mission. Move your characters so that his preset path is blocked, forcing him to move much slower. This gives you more time to intercept things.

That would be all well and good... except they make sure to take a path that has them run into all the mushrooms unless you stomp them into the ground first, and if they do, their bomb explodes before they reach their destination. Which begs the question of why they decided to light the bomb BEFORE they set off for the cage, rather than when they got there.... To make matters worse, you can't even run ahead and clear out the whole path, because the obstacles regenerate after a short period of time. The first time doing the mission, it seems easy because you can run ahead and destroyed everything, only to fail because the mushrooms popped back out of the ground.

As soon as Jacob finds out that it's that kind of level, he tells Ezekiel he doesn't envy him. The Too Dumb to Live is subverted, though, as all the others have to spend countless resets teaching Ezekiel how to bypass certain points. He might be great at stealing, but he knows nothing about pipes (Jacob), detecting patterns (Cassandra), or fighting (Eve). Still, despite it all being a video game, his friends are dying for real, so after dozens (if not hundreds) of resets, Ezekiel is a nervous wreck. Then he ends up performing a Heroic Sacrifice in order for the others to get to the next savepoint. Cassandra manages to restore a backup version of him, but this version hasn't lived through this "game", erasing all Character Development for him.

The little blonde elf girl you're escorting is in fact unattackable, and you're in no serious danger — the monsters scale to your level and should be consistently beatable. The problem is that Axel Ottal, your escortee, has issues with you bleeding and tends to run off screaming if you get hurt too much, requiring you to be specifically prepared to fight monsters whose combat ability scales to yours without getting hit. (Although it turns out she's running off to protect you from herself, as she's really a xenomorph resisting the urge to eat you.)

Odd in that both characters are stronger and more capable than Bilbo, though frequently weaker than some of the more dangerous monsters. Fortunately, Thorin (who's critical to opening the side door to Smaug's lair) is programmed not to wander off the way Gandalf does—unless Bilbo is wearing the Ring, and thus invisible. Both characters are also prone to tell Bilbo "No" when asked to do important things like protect him from Orcs or help him out of a window he's too short to reach. Fortunately they don't attack powerful enemies much, but are often captured by both Orcs and elves and thus out of reach when needed.

Some builds aren't able to go slower than thirty mph at a light jog, and can easily lose the NPC repeatedly. There is a "walk" power, but nobody uses it because... well, it's too slow. Most NPCs will at least call out when they've lost you. There's also one weird version of this which can happen (still happening as of November 2011) if an escortee is targeting an enemy which teleports out of the area... and decides to pursue said enemy (the AI can track even long-range teleports, which players can at best get a general direction). This results in the escortee unexpectedly taking off for a probably unexplored and populated region of the map, and possibly making jumps some players can't copy. In one of the Midnighter Arc missions, you have to meet with an NPC named Lady Jane in a tunnel system (filled with Circle of Thorns demons and mages) under Steel Canyon, and then escort her to a chest located somewhere else in the tunnels. The problem is, every time Lady Jane gets within sniffing distance of a horde of bad guys, she whips out her pistols and starts blasting away. And if the bad guys run, she chases them... thus aggroing all the other hordes around her. And if she dies, the mission is over. This is so bad that some players just take the hit, fail the mission on purpose, and move on because in the long run, Lady Jane's survival is not relevant to your success in the rest of the mission arc. Other players would run, teleport, etc right past the group holding her captive, clear out the rest of the mission, and only come back for her once it's safe. There's also General Z, in the mid-level Sky Raiders arc named for him. While sturdier than Lady Jane, he has a similar habit of running at squads of renegade soldiers armed only with a .45. He's pretty badass, but not that Badass. In one of the rescue missions, the hostage, upon being rescued, says "I will follow you to the exit", and then runs off. Turns out his translation system is having trouble, and he's quite capable of making his own way to the door.

Escort Mission / int_fb0b20f2	comment	Supreme Commander: One early mission, in a game with mechs, giant heavy tanks and strategic bombers, you are tasked with escorting a guy in a truck. He will last as long as you think a truck would last against cruise missiles and long range artillery.

Escort Mission / int_fc0ad3a5	comment	Lampshaded in the MMORPG Tabula Rasa; an escort mission specifically tells you the NPC has gone nuts and is about to blindly charge a huge enemy lair, and your job is to escort her to the entrance.

Escort Mission / int_fd3487b9	comment	Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga has you escorting Princess Peach through Teehee Valley to Little Fungitown. You have to keep her onscreen at all times, make sure there are no enemies heading towards her, and work quickly to open the gate at each section of the valley. If you don't do one of the first two, she gets kidnapped. You must rescue her and try again (the gates reset themselves, making this even more annoying), because the next boss fight won't start if you go through the valley yourself.

Escort Mission / int_fd8ef85e	comment	Goes both ways in Left 4 Dead. When it comes to the bots, you have to keep an eye on them because they have a bad habit of wandering into any fire you created or always getting themselves ambushed by special infected when they had a clear shot. It also becomes an escort mission when someone is going to die in the next hit and there are no healing items around. When playing with friends, if you are going to die soon, they will escort you. Admittedly, it helps that the bots, while stupid about how they behave, have ridiculous aim and skill at taking down special infected at a distance. Let's face it, though. Left 4 Dead is one big 4-player online Mutual Escort Mission.

Escort Mission / int_fe24dd6f	comment	The first level of Medal of Honor: Underground was quite possibly the most tolerable Escort Mission in existence. You play as French resistance fighter and Action Girl Manon Baptiste, joining your brother Jacques on a mission to break into a German weapons supply depot and steal a truck full of weapons. The problem is, the city of Paris is swarming with pro-Nazi Milice. Fortunately, Jacques is a badass. He'll run through the streets, shrugging off bullets and adding impromptu sunroofs to the braincases of one Milice goon after another with his hefty SMG, and only requires any of your help when he's picking a locked door and can't defend himself. Unfortunately, he dies at the end of the level when the truck is caught in an ambush.

Escort Mission / int_ff9ca30	comment	Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has two of these. For the first, Samus has to escort a nuke to the Leviathan while the Pirates try to shoot it down — some of them land with the sole purpose of stalling her. Losing the "escort" is certifiably fatal for Samus; if the fall and storms don't kill her, the nuke will. Once the Pirates are chased off, Samus has five minutes to fix and activate the escape pod before she rides the bomb into the Leviathan. What makes this escorting an invulnerable, by the way, is that Samus is riding the nuke's transport. If the pirates shoot it down, you die. The nuke itself is immune to basically anything. The second of these has Samus escorting a dozen GF Demolition Troops to a certain door so they can blow it up and let her through. Naturally, the Pirates will try to gun them down every step of the way, but the GF troops fire back, and are actually reasonably competent. There are twelve Troops, but you only need four to survive in order to proceed with the level. However, there's a Token for completing the mission with all twelve surviving.

Escort Mission / int_ffc6c28f	comment	The Starship Troopers FPS game has a number of horrendously annoying escorts where your engineer decides that the computer/fence/etc in the middle of the bug horde needs to be repaired. Dealing with Genera Hauser isn't all that bad though, as he knows when the waves of bugs are coming and rarely gets in the way.
