Angela Guerra is a character featured in Dead Island: Riptide.
Background[]
She is never seen in game, but you can follow her story via the number of tape recorders she has left behind as she travels to Henderson to try and escape the outbreak. She hails from Los Angeles, California in America as the daughter of her parents Mike and Blanca Guerra. She joined the Peace Corps to see the world with her husband Paul. She's shown as being a compassionate and dedicated woman, very grateful of the kindness shown by the villagers whom she has stayed with.
She had been living in a village in the Eastern Highlands of Palanai Island for two years when the outbreak occurred and somehow infected Paul. She fled the hut they were staying in as Paul turned and tried to bite her.
She meets up with a group of survivors and heads into the highlands, experiencing first hand the apocalypse and witnessing an infected boy get killed. As they travel, their number gets whittled down by zombie attacks, including a man named Bill who shot himself with a shotgun rather than turn into an undead.
They finally reach the lab where they loose another member, John, to an attack, who also decides to shoot himself rather than turn. Upon Angela getting angry and swearing, Dr. Kessler hears her and lets them rest briefly in the lab. They soon leave, but Angela isn't too upset, as she doesn't trust the scientist, stating 'I don't trust this Kessler'.
They move on and decide to try to reach Henderson, hoping to seek shelter in the military base. There are signs of paranoia with in the group, as one of their number, Tom, is feverish despite not being bitten. Angela believes it to just be Malaria or something similar, but the others of the group are now very wary of anyone showing signs of an illness in case it's the virus.
They stop for the night and, knowing what they are all thinking, Tom hung himself during the night to try and prevent himself turning, despite not knowing if it was the zombie virus. A storm had rolled in as they left Tom's body there and made their way to the ferry terminal. When they got there, zombies covered the area and they only just got onto the ferry when they had to shout to hear each other over the rain. She also notices the aircraft flying overhead that John Morgan noticed in his own set of diary recordings.
Upon reaching Henderson, the group learns that people are panicking and martial law has been declared. Despite the roadways being bombed, infected are still getting in by floating over the river, infecting more and more people. Angela (presumably her group has either separated or been killed, as they are not mentioned beyond this point) makes her way to Cecil's Hospital and has started to use her Peace Corp training to help him with his patients. At some point after this, she leaves and makes her way to the military base for help and to see whether the army was successful in taking back the city. Due to the base sirens you can hear in her final recording, it could mean that she was in the base at the time it fell, likely perishing with any other survivors in it.
Trivia[]
- We don't know exactly how Paul was infected, as the recording doesn't state that he was bitten. It could be that she omitted it from the recording, but since it isn't stated, he was somehow infected in a different method.
- You can find what we presume to be Paul's body in the hut where recording 1 is located.
- I say presume, as in her second recording, she says she tried to go back and find him but he was gone. This makes the body in the hut an unknown person if this is the case.
- Upon reaching Kessler's lab, they beat down a zombie which is described as something similar to a mutated scientist or Grenadier, as they describe it as being 'huge and covered in these festering boils'.
- Due to the base sirens you can hear in the background of her final recording, she is assumed deceased and could possibly be one of the infect the Hero has to kill when they reach the base.
- 14 years later, Los Angeles, California, Angela's hometown, would be taken over by a new virus.
- If Angela did survive, she would have went back home to Los Angeles just to be put back into another zombie outbreak.
- Angela had a friend named John who got bitten in her group and some people thought this was John Morgan.
