Abigail’s story in GTA 5 is a curious mix of environmentalism, mystery, and betrayal. Tasked with recovering 30 submarine parts scattered across treacherous waters, Michael soon discovers that Abigail’s motives might not be as pure as they seem. The payoff? A mere $10 and a signed photo of her late husband—hardly worth the effort. But the choice is yours: let her walk away or exact revenge in true Grand Theft Auto fashion. Dive into this guide to uncover the secrets of “What Lies Beneath” and decide Abigail’s fate.
Availability: Michael
Location: You need to purchase a property called Dock Sonar Collections (it costs 250 thousand dollars) located in the North-Eastern part of the map, Westward of Mount Chilliad. After you purchase the property, while playing as Michael wait for a question mark to appear, reach the place and walk over to the other end of the pier shown in the above screenshot. Talk to the woman that you find there. Abigail will send you on an errand to find parts of the submarine deep underwater in various parts of the map. To start the process of searching for the submarine parts, walk aboard the red boat (Nagasaki Dinghy) moored at the pier, which is equipped with a diving suit.
An example of a submarine part – there is 30 of them, in total
To locate the submarine parts, you may either use the “GTA V – Maps and collectibles” guide, or head towards the green circles appearing on the world map, and follow the radar’s readings. I recommend that you have a careful look while underwater, because apart from the collectibles themselves, you can also find briefcases with cash, first-aid kits and new weapon models. You should watch out for sharks also, and steer clear of them, because they may attack Michael.
You can either kill Abigail or let her leave the dock
After you have collected all thirty parts, wait for Michael to contact Abigail and return to the Sonar Collections dock to talk to the woman. The final to this conversation will be a pretty disenchanting one because you will receive the measly 10 dollars for your efforts. Depending on your preferences, you can either exact revenge on the woman, or let her leave the dock.
Rewards for the completion of the mission:
- New contact on Michael’s contacts list: Abigail
- 10 dollars (you receive the reward after you have found all the elements of the submarine)
What makes Abigail’s final mission in GTA 5 so memorable
Abigail’s final mission, What Lies Beneath, in GTA 5 stands out for its dark humor and player choice. After painstakingly collecting 30 submarine parts, Michael is rewarded with a mere $10 and a signed photo of Abigail’s deceased husband, a hilariously underwhelming payoff for the effort. This moment encapsulates the game’s satirical tone, leaving players to decide whether to let Abigail leave or exact revenge in frustration. The absurdity of the reward and the freedom to resolve the mission violently make it a uniquely memorable experience.
What is the significance of the autographed photo in Abigail’s final mission
The autographed photo in Abigail’s final mission, What Lies Beneath, serves as a symbol of the game’s dark humor and satire. After Michael goes through the trouble of collecting 30 submarine parts for Abigail, she rewards him with a paltry $10 and the photo, which is signed by her late husband. This gesture is meant to be ironic and humorous, highlighting the disparity between the effort Michael put in and the meager reward he receives. It also underscores Abigail’s manipulative nature, as she uses Michael for her own purposes without showing much appreciation for his efforts. The photo becomes a memorable element in the mission, reflecting the game’s ability to poke fun at itself and the absurdity of its characters’ situations.
