During the mission “Saboteur of Paradise” in The Outer Worlds 2, you must choose what to do with Protectorate Brigadier Montelli. A battle appears certain - yet you can keep him alive if you fulfil four strict conditions. The guide below lists the exact requirements for both results.

How to Spare Montelli

You can skip the boss fight if you meet all four requirements before you speak with Montelli:

Speech 5: You need a Speech skill of 5 or higher to pass a required dialogue check.
Corbin must live: Do not kill Corbin at any point before this meeting.
Work with Corbin: Inside the Vox Relay, accept Corbin’s plan and pick dialogue lines that avoid hostility.
Use Montelli’s terminal: Before you ride the elevator up to Montelli, enter his office. Open his computer, send the message to High Command that Corbin asked for and read every file.

When those four points are true, let Corbin start the talk with Montelli. Pick the line: “Those extreme measures were never your idea…” Then pass the Speech 5 check: “Do what you know is right, not what your puppeteer tells you.” Montelli will lower his weapon - you receive his Chainspark Cannon besides Officer Regalia armor without fighting.

Killing Montelli

If any requirement is missing, the fight starts. Montelli wears heavy armor - Corrosive damage deals high harm to him. Stay behind cover, activate your gadgets plus use companion skills to gain an edge. He calls in guards - remove them fast so they cannot force you out of cover.

After you defeat Montelli, loot his Chainspark Cannon, Officer Regalia armor and extra Bits. Corbin has low health - he probably will die during this battle.
