Should you kill 5 Torg in High on Life is a decision you'll have to make once you've completed a main boss fight, against the similarly-named 9 Torg. While 5 Torg is 9 Torg's rival and part of the same shady underworld, when you encounter her she's completely at your mercy, leaving you with a choice to take another criminal out of the equation, or leave them hanging. If you're trying to find out what the consequences are of this choice, then here's what happens if you kill 5 Torg in High on Life.
Should you kill 5 Torg in High on Life?
There aren’t any immediate consequences linked to 5 Torg’s death and, based on her dialogue, if there are long-term effects they've yet to be discovered.
If you kill 5 Torg you'll activate a health bar and she'll start wailing and warning you about the other Torgs, and then… Well, then she dies. 5 Torg doesn’t put up a fight at all, but as Kenny (the talking pistol) will tell you, she still counts as a ‘secret boss’.
What you'll discover during all this extra dialogue is that 5 Torg promises to make you an honorary Torg and mentions that she intends to become the new crime lord now that 9 Torg is dead. She also says that 3 Torg will take over if she dies, adding that he’s “worse than her”.
So, you should probably kill 5 Torg if you don’t want to miss the extra dialogue that follows and the secret boss kill you'll get for doing it. While we can't be 100% sure that killing 5 Torg doesn’t ruin some secret thing later in the game, we've yet to discover repercussions. If you want to be extra sure though, look up the scene on YouTube, and leave her alive in your game. Knifey won’t applaud you for that though.
Where to find the The High on Life 5 Torg choice
Let’s start with 5 Torg’s location, since there’s a small possibility to miss this choice by immediately walking away. To find 5 Torg, you must take your first bounty hunter assignment from Gene, which will lead you into the slums. Fight the Torg minions and keep following the objective until you encounter 9 Torg, the crime boss you’re looking for. On a side note, you can find Gene’s Knife before fighting 9 Torg which will open up the dilemma of whether you should stab Gene in High on Life later. He's a busy character too as you'll be asked should Gene leave or stay in High on Life later as well.
Article continues belowAfter ending 9 Torg’s reign of terror, you will speak with 5 Torg, the alien-bug who’s hanging from a rope. As the dialogue suggests, 5 Torg can’t free herself, which makes it awfully tempting to finish her off. You can’t free her (so don’t bother shooting the rope), so the only other option is to leave 5 Torg behind.
And that’s everything we know about the 5 Torg choice in High on Life. Good luck on your next moral dilemma, but if you want something where no one gets hurt... well, almost no one - check out the High on Life warp discs and crystals for secret areas and activities.
