The Put Down ending concludes with Jerry buried next to Bob. The official badge proves that outcome. A current ten-ending walkthrough shows the playable route: survive until the day-five objective, bring Bob to the hollow and bury him under stone, choose to put Jerry down, defeat Jerry after he transforms, and complete the burial beside Bob.
Prepare before the day-five choice
Run this in Story, not Survival. Keep tools, food, and burial material organized before the choice becomes active. The demonstrated route waits for the day-five objective bar; arriving with a full, disordered inventory makes it harder to select the right material during the fight and burial sequence.
Do not attack Jerry early just because the target ending has a violent name. The Bad Owner badge is a separate outcome whose official description says you put him down before knowing what he was. Put Down instead ends with Jerry buried beside Bob after the later branch. The timing and story state distinguish them.
Complete Bob’s hollow objective
The walkthrough objective instructs the player to drag Bob to the hollow, use Right Click to let go, and bury him under stone. Read your own panel before moving Bob, because the hollow and interactable state are more reliable than a still image of the landscape.
Move the body deliberately and avoid letting another player redirect it. When positioned in the hollow, release as instructed and place the required stone. Confirm the objective advances. A covered model without a changed objective may mean the placement did not count or the body was outside the valid area.
The same panel presents two ways for the branch to end: bury Bob under stone at the hollow or put Jerry down. Select the Jerry option only when you are ready for the confrontation. If the branch prompt is absent, recheck the day and the completion state of the hollow rather than striking Jerry randomly.
Fight Jerry’s transformed form
In the demonstrated run, Jerry changes into his true form after the choice. Reorganize the hotbar before committing so the weapon, food, and any defensive item are where you expect. Create room to move; the fight is harder if camp blocks or other players trap you against the burial area.
Use Left Click for the published attack action and keep the target centered. The official sources do not publish health, damage, resistance, or a best weapon, so this guide does not invent a damage table. Watch live health and attack feedback, retreat when your route closes, and let the current build show how many hits are required.
In multiplayer, agree on who owns the ending attempt and avoid pushing Jerry far away from Bob’s site. The final burial location matters to the official outcome description. If Jerry disappears or the objective stops updating, capture the state before resetting so a route failure can be separated from an update or server issue.
Bury Jerry next to Bob
After the transformed fight ends, return to the objective and complete the burial beside Bob. “Next to Bob” is supported by the official badge; do not substitute a convenient grave elsewhere. Use the live placement indicator or objective feedback to identify the accepted space.
Place the required material and wait for the ending or badge confirmation. The current video shows the scene ending after both graves are complete. If Jerry is defeated but Put Down does not award, the unfinished burial is the first state to check.
Do not confuse the burial with Sent Back or Laid to Rest. Sent Back uses the arch and Jerry; Laid to Rest has the shorter official description “Jerry found his way back to Bob.” Put Down is specifically the quiet-world result after burying Jerry beside Bob.
Put Down route checklist
- Join Story and maintain a recoverable camp through the early days.
- Survive until the day-five objective or the equivalent current branch prompt appears.
- Follow the live instruction to drag Bob to the hollow and release with Right Click.
- Bury Bob under stone and confirm the objective advances.
- Choose the option to put Jerry down rather than ending with Bob’s burial alone.
- Prepare for Jerry’s transformation and defeat the transformed form.
- Bring the sequence back to Bob’s burial site and bury Jerry beside him.
- Wait for the Put Down ending and badge before leaving or resetting.
Common reasons the ending fails
Wrong story state: attacking Jerry before the late choice can lead toward Bad Owner or no valid ending transition. Wrong hollow placement: covering Bob in a nearby hole may not satisfy the objective. Unconfirmed choice: a player can begin fighting before the branch selection registers. Incomplete final burial: defeating Jerry is not identical to the official “buried next to Bob” result.
Another common problem is letting a group act without one route owner. Ask one player to move Bob and make the choice while others protect the area. Once the transformation begins, the group can help fight, but avoid moving Jerry away from the objective location unless the current combat requires it.
What is verified and what can change
The badge name, description, ID, and enabled state are first-party facts. The live API on October 25 lists Put Down and says, “You buried Jerry next to Bob. The world is quiet after that.” The day-five timing, hollow prompt, transformed fight order, and exact placement are supported by the current walkthrough rather than a developer manual.
If a later build changes the objective wording, use the unchanged outcome as your anchor: the successful branch should still end with Jerry buried next to Bob unless the developer updates the badge itself. Do not preserve an obsolete quantity or tool merely to make an older video look correct.
Quick answers
Is Put Down the same as Bad Owner?
No. Bad Owner’s official description refers to putting Jerry down before you knew what he was. Put Down is the later outcome in which Jerry is buried beside Bob.
Do I only need to defeat Jerry?
The official outcome includes burial, and the demonstrated route completes it beside Bob after the transformed fight. Treat the burial as required unless the live objective explicitly changes.
Why did the badge not award after the fight?
Check whether Bob was correctly buried at the hollow, the Put Jerry down choice registered, and Jerry’s final burial was completed next to Bob. Those are distinct progress states.
