Sons Of The Forest - How To Get Virginia As A Companion

gamespot.com:

Sons of the Forest has many surprises that await you. One of these is Virginia, a woman wearing a bathing suit, who shows up out of the blue. What's peculiar is that she has three arms and three legs, as she's a mutant. If you do the right thing, she might just end up joining you. Here's our guide to help you befriend Virginia, the Mutant Lady, so she can become your companion in Sons of the Forest.

If you want to make Virginia a companion in Sons of the Forest, the number one rule is to avoid attacking or killing her. She appears early in the campaign, around Day 2. You'll likely stumble upon her as you go back to the helicopter crash site. If you have a weapon in your hand, she'll raise her arms to defend herself, though she'll also run away. In fact, if you attempt to go near her, she'll simply escape.

Since Virginia is the so-called «mutant lady» in Sons of the Forest, you might mistake her for a hostile. If you try to attack, she'll go down to a wounded state. You can revive her, but she'll still make a run for it. This may affect how she perceives you down the line. Conversely, if you end up killing her, she'll be gone for good.

The helicopter crash site is the first area where you'll encounter Virginia, though she can also appear on the beach (the one without a cave), as well as the cascading waterfalls/Riverlands. The latter location is how we recruited her. It's close to a green marker, the cave with the Rope Gun/Cross, and the pond with the Stun Baton. It's technically the area shown in a promotional image that features her.
