Jim Burris (a.k.a. "Lone Miner") is one of Jed Stone's henchmen, acting as a minor antagonist in Alone in the Dark 3.
Background[]
Lone Miner probably used to work with Lefty in smuggling liquor into the jail cells, as shown in the writing behind a poster in the saloon's cellar. He seems to hold a grudge for the executioner.
He was wanted Dead or Alive for US$400, and it was said that he was so greedy that he would meet his demise only if shot by a golden bullet.
Appearance[]
Lone Miner has black hair, and wears a short buttoned-up leather coat, dark trousers and long cavalry boots, accompanied by a light grey hat and cavalry gloves, while sporting a bandit mask.
Events of Alone in the Dark 3[]
He is the first mini-boss in the game. He can be found hiding in the Prison rooftops. Upon defeat, he drops a bag full of scorpions that he was saving for the executioner.
Strategy[]
Lone Miner cannot die from regular bullets, there are two possible ways to kill him:
- Obtain the Winchester in the sheriff's office and load it with the gold bullet retrieved from the barkeeper, then aim and shoot him, he will die instantly. Make sure to have a good aim on him, as there is only one gold bullet.
- If you miss the shot, hit him with the whip to obtain a bag full of gold coins, load the Shotgun with it and shoot him, but you have one shot, so make it count. Otherwise, you won't make progress and will need to load a previous save file.
Trivia[]
- Jim appears to have an obsession for scorpions, being seen with scorpions in his shoulder and hat in the wanted poster.
