I. CONTROLS & BASICS [CNTR]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Controls are fairly simple, but can't be changed.
MOVEMENT: this is done with the W-A-S-D keys. The same buttons are used for
menu navigation and certain scripted events.
MOUSE: left-click is used as a "select" button. In some situations, as well
as all menus, this function remains. Left-click is also used in events that
require target selection.
SAVING: The game autosaves at certain subchapters and when completing a full
installment (including "400 Days"), but players can't manually save.
REWIND: This goes hand in hand with completing subchapters. Players can load
up their saves, then "rewind" the story to completed subchapters, essentially
starting the story from that point. (Doing this deletes subsequent progress,
however, so it's best to copy into a free save slot first.) Rewinding is very
useful for finding out what choices matter or just for replaying scenarios in
new ways.
STORY GENERATION: This occurs when a player chooses to play a chapter that
isn't connected to the current progress (like playing Chapter 4 when one's
only up to Chapter 2). The game will allow it, and generates story decisions
up to that point. These are apparently random, but there do seem to be certain
trends (like being on Kenny's good side).

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The walkthrough is written to be as spoiler-free as possible, but since some
decisions will have to be explained, it can't be 100% on that end. Head's up!
1-1: The Freeway
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Shotgun Shell, Handcuff Key
Achievement: Out of the Frying Pan
Meet Lee Everett: a teacher with dashing good looks and wit, taking a paddy
wagon ride down the freeway. In the game's opening minutes, he'll be able to
interact with the driver, making small talk. Although this chat has no real
long-term consequences, it does serve as a warmup of sorts. For instance,
noticing the cop's from Macon will change the conversation a little, whereas
silence shuts it down. (If one has the default HUD up, notable choices will
be displayed in the upper-left corner when chosen. In this case, it'll say
things like "He picked up on that".)
As said, this convo has no importance, a point driven home when the car jumps
an embankment. Lee eventually comes to (thanks to a unique "alarm" sound) and
aims to bust outta the backseat. Kick the side window until the mouse prompt
changes to a hand icon -- players can switch between looking and action by
pressing 1 and 2, respectively.
After the escape, lurch along the wreck toward the policeman's corpse. Snag
the shotgun shell near the passenger-side door, then walk to the body, which
contains the handcuff key. (Like a butterfingers, he drops the key during the
unlocking portion.)
Unsurprisingly, the slain copper will resurrect in violent undeath, startling
Lee right onto his back. Quickly back up, then grab the shotgun for an ammo-
-loading prompt. (If the shell wasn't picked up earlier, that'll need to be
done first, naturally. Lee always fumbles the insertion, forcing one to pick
it up again anyway.) Like a trained killer, blow the innocent zombie's head
off, earning a moment of safety.
The highway chapter ends when Lee calls out to the pint-sized figure in the
treeline. With no response, he fence-hops into the...
1-2: Suburbs
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Walkie-Talkie
Achievement: Adventures in Babysitting
Unfortunately, Lee left his shotty back at the roadside, so he's coming into
the backyard empty-handed. A search is fairly fruitless, so hobble to the
porch and inspect the door until it can be operated. The explorable interior
is limited to a living room and kitchen.
There's little of interest in the living room, although the family answering
machine can be used. (If one puts it off, it'll often beep and even give a
stock "there are no new messages" line, prodding players to inspect it.) It
must be inspected to continue, and plays while exploring, so it's easiest to
do it early.
In the kitchen, Lee can drink some water and grab a walkie-talkie in a right-
-hand drawer. The fridge and cupboards have nothing of interest, and Lee has
nothing else to do until the messages finish playing. Following, Clementine
radios in on the walkie-talkie, mentioning her absent parents and her current
caretaker, Sandra.
Speaking of which, the zombified babysitter attacks Lee after the chat, which
starts a QE event (a term I call it since players have to mash Q and hit E to
get through. These are default buttons and can't be changed.) Once Lee brains
himself on the countertop, kick Sandra away until Clementine arrives with a
hammer. Snag it, then club the babysitter until the danger's passed.
1-3: Suburbs, Pt. II
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: In Your Charge
For players who haven't seen the game's marketing, Clementine's an 8-year-old
who accompanies one through the chapters. She (among others) often remembers
choices and acts Lee does, and this impacts the story's flow somewhat. Here,
Clementine asks her new friend if the zombie's dead; any reply's fine, though
giving silence scares her.
The next decision is the exit strategy: trying to escape as soon as possible,
or waiting for nightfall. Either pick is fine (the end result's the same) but
it does change how the chapter plays out.
• LOOK FOR HELP: Outside, approach the streetside gate to find two men (Chet
and Shawn Greene) near a vehicle. Convincing Clem of the gameplan doesn't
change anything. Shawn will want to know Lee's relationship to Clem, and
one can either lie (babysitter/neighbor) or be truthful ("just some guy").
The choice will be slightly impact the next chapter. Either way, there'll
be a car-pushing event to escape the streets before they're overrun.
• LEAVE AFTER SUNDOWN: Approaching the dark street results in a meeting with
Shawn and a cop, Andre Mitchell, who fires a warning shot. Clem will want
to know if they're going to die: answering "no" settles her, giving silence
has the opposite effect. Either way, the two will have to emerge from the
hiding spot. Describing the relationship to Clem is the last real choice
before everyone escapes...well, except Chet, who became a zombie...but no
one cares about him.
Regardless of the chosen path, everyone winds up at...
1-4: Hershel's Farmstead
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Rock and a Hard Place
Upon arrival, Shawn introduces the escapees to his dad, Hershel, who'll have
some questions of his own once his boy leaves. He'll take note of any lies
Lee feeds him, though it has no real consequences outside this chapter. The
truthful replies are describing the car accident and police involvement, of
course. (Failing to introduce oneself negatively colors his opinion, also.)
Either way, Lee gets patched up and goes to nap in the barn with Clem. The
next morning, one can meet the "other displaced family" -- Kenny, Katjaa and
Kenny Jr. (Duck) -- after a wake-up call.
To continue one must speak to all NPCs around the place. Shawn and Duck will
be in the backyard; Kenny's near the gate; the girls are by the front stoop.
Note that Kenny (Sr.) is a mainstay character in this game, so if one wants
to get in his good graces, this is the first opportunity to win him over.
• Duck: no conversations
• Clementine: no conversations
• Shawn: He'll talk about how he saw a child die, and notes Lee's steely
response ("You gotta do what you gotta do"), plus whether Lee volunteers
info about the zombies he's killed. The rest is irrelevant, though Lee
offers condolensces if Chet died earlier.
• Katjaa: Lee can learn she's a veterinarian ("What do you do?"), and give his
own opinion on how hopeful he is life'll return to normal, which she notes;
"You two actually look relaxed" reveals Clem's a first-grader, while asking
about the city gives Lee a chance to mention he was fired as a professor.
There's a chance to do all conversations here.
• Kenny: He'll note if Lee takes interest in his family ("How's your son
doing") and mention having a boat in Fort Lauderdale ("What's your plan").
He'll also note if Lee has any children, should his new buddy ask about
helping him fix up the truck. Unlike some convos, all the choices can be
explored here.
After speaking to everyone, Hershel appears in the barn. The conversation's
mostly irrelevant, though Lee's past lies/honesty comes into play. The chat
is broken up by Shawn's screams as he's pinned near the fence, walkers nipping
at his heels.
Lee has to decide whether to save Shawn or Duck. This is the first of several
life-altering decisions, or at least a test run -- this one's rigged! Duck'll
always be saved (by Lee or Kenny) and Shawn always dies. Because Shawn has no
real importance in the game, and Kenny will remember Lee saving his boy, it's
usually better to get the youngun outta harm's way. Of course, for those who
hate Kenny and want to piss him off, feel free to swing for the other choice.
Either way, Hershel goes ballistic and kicks everyone off his farm, which
leads to...
1-5: Everett Drugstore
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Portrait, Bandage, Remote, Battery x2, Energy Bar x4
After the opening scene, everyone takes refuge in the drugstore, which also
introduces several more survivors: Doug, Glenn, Carley, Lilly and her father
Larry.
• Choice 1: Clem-related, doesn't affect anything
• Choice 2: Clem-related, doesn't affect anything
• Choice 3: Lilly-related (she remembers all answers except silence)
• Choice 4: Larry talks about Duck; doesn't affect anything
Lee will now have to throw in his lot with the irascible hardass or Duck.
Since a lot of players want to side with Kenny but accidentally side with
Larry (by picking options to reason), do these to the latter.
• Choice 5: "It's him or Duck." -or- "Kick his ass."
• Choice 6: Katjaa wants Lee to intervene (any option's fine)
• Choice 7: "Deal with it."
• Choice 8: "Hit him, Kenny." -or- "NO!"
Like the last major decision, defending Duck helps his dad like Lee, while
siding with Larry has an opposite effect. For those contemplating long-term
decisions, note that Larry is always a dick to Lee (siding with him is mostly
irrelevant) and Kenny will start forming a grudge if he was slighted both here
and at the farm.
But, regardless of how the choices above go, the tension's broken as Clem's
grabbed by a bathroom walker. When Lee gets knocked over in a ridiculous
fashion, quickly click on Clem's grab prompt to rush over for a zombie QE
event -- this causes Carley to gun down the creeper. She'll do this either
way, note, but Clem will remember (for a later conversation) whether Lee
arrived in time.
Anyway, Larry will have some heart palpitations and everyone settles down,
letting Lee explore the pharmacy. (Responses to Lilly regarding pill-finding
don't matter.) Glenn will have left to siphon gas, taking Lee's walkie-talkie
for communication; Larry is resting. Everyone else, though, can be interacted
with.
• Clementine: She has three conversations, though none are of major note. The
third awkward one does drop a humdinger from Lee ("Being good...is good."),
for those interested. She'll remember if Lee gives her an energy bar.
• Kenny's family: They'll reflect on what just happened, whether Lee defended
Duck or not. After exhausting all subjects or trying to exit conversation,
Kenny will want to talk about Shawn. To build extra loyalty with him, pick
"It happened pretty fast," then "Console?". (If Lee didn't defend Duck, this
can't be done, however.) One can always show support by giving Duck an
energy bar, though.
• Doug: He'll be keeping watch by the door, and can go outside with Lee to
check the street. This isn't completely necessary, though Lee can notice a
trapped walker who presumably worked at the store. Doug won't be onboard
with the idea of the zombie having any pharmacy keys without proof, though.
• Carley: She's fiddling with a radio. Inspect it, flip it over, and search
the battery case to find it's...empty. Lee can find two on the floor near
Clem and a shelf near Kenny's kin, respectively. Deliver the batteries,
then put 'em in right to get the radio working (turn power on). Fixing the
sucker lets Lee inquire about Carley further ("Are you ok?"), where he can
rattle her (option 2) or show concern (all others). She'll take note of his
picks there.
• Lilly: Her conversations don't matter much, though she does mention any
recent violent acts and whether Lee saved Clem.
Those seeking energy bars can find four: (1) opposite Clem, on floor near
pharmacy window (2) shelf near Kenny's family (3) shelf near Lilly & Larry
(4) shelf behind Carley. For some reason, the fourth one doesn't always show
up, though.
Eventually, Lee will have to enter the back office. Take the portrait near
the bedding (mandatory for later) for a scene with Carley. She'll keep mum on
Lee's past; she'll remember if Lee thanked her and doubting her reliability.
When she's gone, inspect the pallet for a small scene, then move the desk
with Clem. (The conversations aren't too important, although Lee can confide
that he's a criminal and that his family, who owned the store, is dead.)
Clem'll end up hurting her finger at this point, so fetch a bandage from the
first aid kit nearby to do a patchjob. Answer her parental question, then
search the desk drawer for the remote control. Trying the nearby door reveals
it's locked; if Lee observed the street zombie, he'll know the keys are on
its person. Either way, leave the office.
Speak with Clem about her finger (a kind act she remembers) to get a call
from Glenn at the motor inn. Lee relays that everyone'll talk the situation
over, though the search party is always him and Carley. Speak with her to
skidaddle.
1-5: Travelier Motel
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Pillow, Axe, Spark Plug, Awl
Achievement: It's Just One Bullet
Reuniting with Glenn changes the goal to saving another survivor in a far 2F
room. The team will have to silently nix the nearby foes first, though, and
that requires hiding at the wall. (Peeking above the wall gradually draws
attention, so only do it in short bursts; linger too long and it's game over.)
First, lean left and take the pillow, then move to the crouching spot near
the pickup. Try the pillow on the nearest zombie for a silenced gunshot. Open
the door and flick the gear shifter; Lee finds a spark plug. Push the car to
pin a nearby zombie, then use the spark plug on the pickup's window. Glenn'll
break the plug to make a sharp fragment. Try again, claiming the cab's awl;
this can be used to silently kill the first zombie (from 1st wall position).
Once that pest is (re)dead, Lee hides by the RV to get the zombie 'round the
corner. Inspect it with the awl icon to get its attention, then stab it when
it nears. Upon success, everyone sneaks to the pushed car. Killing this foe
with the awl automatically earns the axe, which can be used to slay the final
two walkers upstairs.
After a chat with the survivor, axe the 2x4 preventing access. However, the
survivor has been bitten and wants to commit suicide to prevent any undeath
scenarios. Neither Glenn nor Carley approves of helping her die, but that'll
happen no matter what, so don't think too hard on it.
1-6: Everett Drugstore, Pt. II
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Pharmacy Key
Achievement: Hey, Bud
The next order of business is getting Larry's nitroglycerin pills, which
requires the back office key. Lee may have already deduced the key's in the
street zombie's possession -- the real problem is claiming it. Speak with
Doug to access the street. (Carley and Glenn have new conversations, but they
don't matter in the long run.)
First, use the remote on the electronic store display nearby -- Doug'll do
his techie magic to turn 'em all on. Next, "use" the portrait on the pinned
zombie to convince Doug the keys are outside. Lee's free to chop through the
padlock and open the shutter now. Once it's done, grab the brick, toss it
at the store display and make a break for the pinned zombie. For some reason,
it takes Lee five whacks to do away with it, but sure 'nough, the keys can be
looted afterward.
Following a scene, unlock the pharmacy and root around for the heart meds.
Unfortunately, this sets off the store alarm, alerting every undead punter
for several blocks.
1-7: Everett Drugstore, Pt. III
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Everything's Going to Be Okay
With everyone scrambling, Lee, Doug and Carley are in charge of keeping the
front door secure...which is hard since the padlock's broken. D'oh! Take
Glenn's spot so he can do his assigned job, then inspect the door prompts
(twice) when the zombies start gaining the upper hand. After a small QE event,
Clem will find a cane to hold the front door shut. Put it in position ASAP.
At this point, Lee has to make a decision to save either Doug or Carley -- and
unlike the farm choice, this really is a "one or the other" scenario. Whoever
ain't chosen, dies. Note that Carley is a kinda-sorta love interest for Lee
and a good shot, while Doug is a nerdy guy with no real assets. Either choice
is fine; just be quick about picking. If time runs out, everyone dies (game
over).
With the choice made, help Clem get free from a zombie's clutches -- it'll
take three kicks. On the way out to the alley, Larry reveals his true colors,
forcing Kenny to save Lee. (He'll throw in a parting shot if Lee hasn't been
helpful to his family, though, heh.)
As "A New Day" winds down, everyone alights to the motel to converse about
what just happened. There's no opinion-changing dialogue here, but Lee's
previous decisions will come back to his favor (or to haunt him) as he checks
in with everyone. The real shakeups are Glenn, who leaves permanently to find
his buddies, and Carley/Doug, whichever survived. Both will want to know why
they were saved over the other, and Doug definitely has survivor's guilt over
the sitch.
Speaking with Larry ends the chapter properly. Each chapter from now on will
have an in-game recap that notes the 5 major choices. For fun, I'll just tell
what they are:
- Most players are forthright with Hershel
- Most players are split 50-50 on who to save at the farm
- Most players are split 50-50 in the Larry-Kenny slug match
- Most players don't hand Irene (motel survivor) the gun
- An overwhelming amount of players save Carley instead of Doug
I suppose it's possible the stats could eventually change, but some are so
overwhelming (like saving Carley), maybe that ain't happenin'. Either way,
next chapter is playable after the first's credits.

02) STARVED FOR HELP [WK02]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
From now on, every completed chapter will recap the previous, reminding one
of the current stakes and who's alive/dead. For those who skipped the first
chapter and started on this one (which occasionally happens due to glitches
that don't save properly), Carley is typically alive.
2-1: Macon Wilderness
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Going Hungry
The second TWD installment takes place during a hunting party with Mark, one
of the motel gang's new faces. After axing a walker, the player can speak
about (1) Kenny's idea of moving on in the RV (2) why Larry has so much animus
towards Lee. Mark will remember most strong opinions given -- especially if
Lee paints Larry as a racist.
After Mark takes aim a bird (situation irrelevant), the duo scrambles to find
the source of a scream. This leads to a situation involving David, a teacher,
and two students, Travis and Ben. David's stepped in a bear trap, and after a
chat about raids and helping, Lee's gotta make a decision.
• SAVE DAVID: The only way to do this is chopping his leg off; other options
won't work. It'll take four whacks to do the trick, after which time, he'll
be brought back to camp. Travis will caught by walkers in the meantime,
though.
• LEAVE DAVID: This occurs if one chooses to leave him or wastes too much
time deciding on how to help. David will be left to the approaching zombies
while the boys are brought back to the settlement. Travis will have been
accidentally shot by Mark, however.
Who's saved only matters insofar as the next chapter is concerned, and it'll
begin as soon as everyone returns.
2-2: Travelier Motel
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Jerky, Cheese Snack, Half-Apple x2
Achievement: Conversation Killer
After the first dialogue, Lee'll find himself smack dab in the middle of a
Kenny-Lilly fight. To side with Kenny, pick "Kenny's right"; to side against
Kenny, pick "Lilly's right". Staying silent frustrates Kenny; maintaininig
neutrality annoys both to a degree.
Either way, Lilly's job as Commissioner Hoardin' will now fall on Lee. He'll
get jerky, half an apple and two cheese snacks to distribute to 10 hungry
mouths. How Lee doles out the supplies will be remembered, though it's not
quite as dire as it seems.
• Clementine: she'll take anything
• Katjaa: she's busy and never takes any, instead suggesting Duck gets it
• Ben: he'll take anything, but the other survivors won't approve.
• Lilly: she's on top of the RV. If Lee sided with her, she'll gladly take a
portion, but refuses if Lee sided with Kenny. In the latter's case, there's
no notable relationship improvement, so it's usually better to skip her.
• Larry: he'll take anything, but this doesn't improve tensions with Lee. He
also complains if Mark is fed before him, and goes ballistic if he gets
nothing. (He certainly hasn't lost any weight, so maybe Mark's comments
about Lilly sneaking food to him are true...)
• Kenny: Everyone in the camp takes note of this choice. It only occurs if
Duck was fed first, though. Later, Kenny can give Lee kudos for feeding the
kids (excluding Ben), so it's not necessary to feed him in that regard.
• Mark: He's along the fence, and takes anything. If Doug's alive and refuses
his portion, Mark asks Lee for it, provided Mark hasn't been fed yet. It's
mostly irrelevant whether he eats or not, relationship-wise.
• Duck: he'll take anything; Kenny and his family will remember the gesture,
even if Lee and Kenny's relationship has been rocky.
• Carley/Doug: depending on who survived, Carley is near the kids and Doug's
near the fence, installing an alarm. They'll both be grateful to Lee for
his earlier judgment call, so stiffing 'em impacts little. Carley/Doug will
only accept an apple, also, though they appreciate the gesture if something
else is tried.
• Lee: Mr. Everett can take the final portion for himself.
Additionally, after talking with Mark and Larry, Lee will have to hand his axe
over for the wall repairs. The decision is irrelevant, unless Carley died, in
which case it impacts the next situation a bit. (Also, not giving it to Larry
pisses him off, and that's always entertaining.) Clementine also comments on
her lost hat, regardless of whether Lee asks.
After handing out all food, a conversation with Katjaa occurs. Pick whatever,
then prepare to fight off the zombified David/Travis. This includes banging
its head along the truck bed, then backing up quickly. Carley, or whoever has
the axe, saves Lee.
The next relevant situation is Andy and Danny St. John, dairy farmers looking
to barter food for gas. (If Doug is alive, his alarm notifies their approach;
otherwise, Carley notices first.) Regardless of discussion, an exploratory
squad -- Lee, Mark, Carley -- will agree to vet the dairy. On the way over,
there's a unique convo with Carley or Doug, about Lee's past and a newfound
laser pointer, respectively.
Eventually, the brothers will ask Lee where he's from, who's running the
motel group and how many said group amounts to. Whether Lee answers honestly
("I'm from Macon") or carefully ("Enough to defend ourselves") is remembered,
though there's no long-term relevance. Arriving at the farm ends the current
subchapter.
2-3: St. John Dairy
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: 2x4, Rope
After some opening chatter about the fence & safety, Carley/Doug and Ben will
head back to the others, leaving Lee and Mark to look around. Andy will try
to rope the team into checking the perimeter fence, a task that can start when
ready.
There's a few things to do before then, though. Andy and Brenda (in house) can
be questioned a little, revealing they keep guns on the property and they've
had other guests. Grilling them for info, and inspecting some random objects
(fence, fence light, etc.) are optional though. Lee can also check the broken
swing, opening up a chance to fix it (available regardless of observation
choice). Simply check the saw near the generator to cut a 2x4, then fetch rope
from the porch's supply box. Note that the swing will be fixed later, even if
Lee does nothing.
When ready, talk with Andy to start the fence inspection, which has a few
zombie husks clinging to it. The first can be pushed off; the second has to
get chopped off; the third has knocked over part of the fence. After each,
Mark will comment on the dairy's state; he'll pick up on any ambivalence and
doubt, though the choices have no long-term consequences.
With the fence rightside-up, Mark is attacked, forcing the two to seek cover
by a tractor. The goal is now to break for the gate, something that's a pipe
dream until the plow is raised (back) and the wheel chock is gone (front).
Taking too long while exposed earns Lee an arrow-ridden game over, so don't
dawdle!
The vehicle starts rolling when its impediments are gone, and the survivors
can stay safe by crouch-walking alongside it. (Again, begin exposed results
in Lee getting shafted.) When prompted, clear the wheel path of carcasses;
the second one contains a QE event and small chase/crawl to safety. When the
tractor hits the grain bin, everyone escapes safely.
Report what happened to Andy, just as the remaining motel survivors (sans
Carley/Doug and Ben, who already ate) arrive. Danny will immediately prepare
to attack a bandit camp he knows about...and Lee's invited! The sojourn can
begin immediately, or Lee can talk with the newcomers first. The only chat
that matters is with Clementine, about life returning to normal. She'll soak
up any honesty ("I don't think so") and hope ("yes") Lee throws her way.
2-3: Save-Lots Bandit Camp
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Clem's Hat, Camera
The site's abandoned on arrival, so the detective work begins. There's a ton
of things to inspect, though most is irrelevant to the proceedings. Check a
Save Lots box on the far table, then the dairy container behind it. A table
near the tent has searchable boxes, one of which hides a battery-less camera
Lee pockets. Taking it gives a throwback reference to who Lee said ran the
motel group (if he didn't pick Lily, Danny ribs him).
With the camera taken, Lee can investigate the tent. Taking Clem's missing
hat from the sleeping bag starts a scene with Jolene, a crossbow-wielding
Save-Lots employee. After some banter, Lee will have some chances to shoot
her (these options are spelled out for the player) or talk her down ("Put the
crossbow down" or "Don't be stupid!").
Danny will kill Jolene if Lee tries talking her down or weighs the options
too long. Lee will comment on her death, about why he pulled the trigger or
why partner did (Danny remembers almost all of these options, even silence.)
If Lee wants to be suspicious of Danny, let him take the shot, then reply
"Thanks, I guess".
2-3: St. John Dairy, Pt. II
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Multi-Tool
Achievement: Thank You For Shopping!
After some squabblin', Brenda notes the kids and Katjaa are in the barn with
Maybelle (the cow) -- naturally, Lee can follow suit. This is one of the few
times Danny can be spoken to, though, so feel free to ask him some questions
before going in (the conversation about his gun echoes previous suspicion).
Inside, there's (optional) conversation to hold, mainly giving Clem her hat
back. Speaking with Duck has Clem point out what the barn smells like, which
hearkens back to Lee's reply on Hershel's farm. Inspecting the locked door
starts a conversation with Kenny about how suspicious it is. Lee can either
echo his sentiments somewhat, or call him stupid (he doesn't like this). Be
sure to inspect the slide lock's screws for a funny racial exchange, which
even gives a dig at everyone's favorite punching bag: Florida!
Andy soon breaks things up, letting Lee ask him directly ("what's behind the
door?") or foist an excuse (Kenny does this if silence is chosen). Either way,
the next step is checking the back room, which requires getting Andy out of
the barn. The game HUD gives this as a notification if left on default
settings.
To stage a distraction, head outside and take a Multi-Tool from the sawhorse
toolbox. (This spawns after the bandit event and can be done even before one
goes in the barn.) Larry is romancing Brenda in one of the few moments he'll
ever show human kindness, giving Lee a chance to sabotage the generator. Use
the Multi-Tool to undo the cover, then hit the power switch to grab the belt.
This causes Andy to emerge and fiddle with the sucker. NOTE: simply hitting
the power switch before checking inside doesn't buy enough time.
Back in the barn (whose door Lee leaves open like a buffoon), approach the
locked door for a dinner bell scene -- this clears the barn out. Unscrew the
assembly to find the waiting surprise. Andy will soon arrive to fetch Lee
(any reply to him is fine) for supper.

Items -----: ---
Achievement: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
As Lee grows ever more suspicious of his hosts, he goes to the bathroom to
wash his hands. Of course, this is just a cover to check upstairs (it creaks,
but this alerts no one). Search the small closet the power cord runs into,
then connect the cables to cue an odd light source. Lee can inspect this
source by going into the next-door bedroom and pushing the shelf aside.
It'll all be made clear of what's going on at this point, prompting Lee to
rush downstairs. (Speed is of the essence to do this right.) Here, choosing
"DON'T EAT THAT" or "CLEMENTINE, NO" has the best effect, while any others,
including silence, fall short. When everyone asks what the ruckus is, Lee can
say outright or yell at Brenda. Doing the latter gives a chance to explain
further or let Larry start eating (a dick move, but funny).
Replies that happen past that point are irrelevant, as Lee big mouth gets
himself, Kenny, Lily, Larry and Clem locked up.
2-5: St. John Dairy, Pt. III
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Coins
Achievement: Too Much Salt Will Kill You
The incarceration act opens with an abundance of vomit and Clem commenting on
what she (didn't) eat. Lee can then walk around to inspect the new cell, or
comment with everyone. The conversation with Larry can be especially great,
as he finds fault with everything Lee's done (not feeding him earlier, being
rude to him that day, and so on).
Eventually, or if Lee inspects the AC unit, Larry's paroxysm brings on a
heart attack. This brings about "Starved for Hunger" major choice #3: help
Lilly with her CPR maneuvers or hold her down so Kenny can ensure he doesn't
return zombified. Either way, Larry won't make it, but Lee's relationships'll
be affected. Note that doing nothing is tantamount to siding against Kenny,
so there's no middle ground here.
When Clem is consoled, Lee can go back to his search of the air conditioner.
Inspect the screw, then Larry, then speak with Lilly -- she'll begrudgingly
let Lee search her dad's pockets. Once the coins are found, use 'em to undo
the AC's hitch, opening up the lateral vent. Clementine will need a pep talk
to go through and unlock the door, but this portion goes off swimmingly.
2-6: St. John Dairy, Pt. IV
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Hay Hook, Sickle, Mini Cattle Prod
Achievement: Taking Charlotte
Control is given to Lee in the abattoir. There's several things to inspect,
though only one weapon can be claimed. (Oddly enough, the meat locker door
has no lock. Maybe Larry didn't even bother trying the handle? Heh.) Speak
with Kenny to enter the barn, where Danny is keeping watch with Charlotte,
his lucky rifle.
Sneak towards the brother until one's forced to hide in a side stall. Lee can
peek out to see what Danny's up to, as he opens a bear trap and walks out of
sight. The next time Lee looks out, or after some time's passed, Lee will be
looking down Charlotte's barrel. He'll be shot if nothing is done, so quickly
grab the barrel and follow up by attacking him with the claimed weapon (or
fists, if that applies). Lee will be saved by either Lilly or Kenny, whoever
he's on better terms with.
At this point, Lee can do the chapter's fourth major decision: killing or
sparing the brothers. Killing him will scare Clementine somewhat, even more
if Lee was an accessory to the previous Larry incident, though she'll take
note if Lee shows mercy. Lilly may reprimand Lee for helping Kenny deal with
Larry but sparing Danny's life. Either way, Danny ceases to be a threat as
he's disarmed and caught in a bear trap (perhaps the same tweaked type that
can't come undone, seen in chapter 2-1).
Exiting the barn starts a reunion with Ben and Carley; if Doug's alive, Lee
will have to spot his laser pointer first (nearby haystack). It's short-lived,
however, as Lee will approach the front porch all by his lonesome. Brenda will
eventually spot him in the darkness, letting him lie ("Yeah, it's me!") or
frighten her ("I left Danny in the barn..." and silence). Yelling about Katjaa
only alerts her to one's real presence.
Enter the farmhouse to find Brenda holding Katjaa at gunpoint. Advance only
when the gun's pointed at the hostage and keep trying to defuse the situation.
If things badly -- moving at the wrong time, inflammatory language -- Lee gets
his daily dose of lead! Instead, try defusing the situation calmly (always
the first option), causing the girls to back up the walk. Repeat as necessary
until the standoff works itself out.
2-7: St. John Dairy, Pt. V
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Camera
Achievement: You Fight Like a Dairy Farmer
With Katjaa safe, Lee runs outside to find Andy. Reply to his first comment,
then get saved by Carley/Doug's quick thinking. This starts a lengthy QE
event where Lee scuffles with the gunman.
Lee gets first blood, making them both roll downhill near the sawhorse. Andy
will regain the upper hand, inching Lee toward the high-voltage fence. Mash
Q-button until Lee calls out for Lilly's help. Depending on how he handled
the Larry situation, she'll fire or do nothing. Either way, the QE event'll
restart, with Lee fighting his assailant off. Slug it out a bit more until
the survivors gather around.
Having proved his point, Lee gets up to walk away, only for Andy to bait him
further. Reply (doesn't matter, although he can pretend both Danny & Brenda
died) then decide whether to leave the matter settled or finish the job. For
the latter, Lee can kick him into the electrified fence or shoot him. (The
gun is only available if Lee took too long in beating on Andy, letting him
regain a momentary advantage.) Killing Andy will impact Clementine, so choose
wisely.
Following the farm events, everyone starts walking back. There's conversation
to make with some main players at this point. This is the order:
• Carley comments on leaving the motel unattended; this affects nothing, but
does reflect whether Lee stopped Clementine from eating her meal. If Doug's
alive, he'll comment on saving everyone with the laser pointer, to which
Lee can drop plaudits ("I'm glad you showed up when you did") or censure
("You probably should have stayed").
• Kenny will comment on what happened in the meat locker, and the options'll
change slightly depending on who Lee sided with. If Lee wanted to revive
Larry, all the options (except silence) are negative. On the flipside,
helping Kenny take care of Larry gives options of support, plus one that
express guilt ("We fucked up").
• Clementine will comment on the farm situation. If Lee killed the brothers,
the best options can reassurance ("I'm sorry you saw that") and honesty
("Yes. They were bad"). Lee can also show guilt ("I shouldn't have done
that") if he prefers. If Lee let both brothers live, he can take a stab at
their fates, reassuring Clem ("We didn't kill them, so I don't know") or
being direct (any other non-silence option). Clem will, naturally, notice
her caretaker's attitude.
The discussion over, everyone happens upon...
2-8: Roadside
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: It's Not Stealing if You Need It
...a supply-filled station wagon! Of course, this is only learned after the
group sneakily approaches the suspicious vehicle. After the previous mess,
and not knowing the owners' fates, Kenny will want to loot the commodities.
This is the final major decision in the chapter:
• AGREE: Taking the supplies makes Clem cross. Unload the swag, then hand
her the child-sized hoodie. She's apprehensive about taking it, but Lee can
make the pill easier to swallow ("Hold onto it for safekeeping") or convince
her it's okay ("It's yours now"). Either way, she'll wear the hoodie the
rest of the game.
• DECLINE: Lee won't take supplies or the hoodie, making Clem happy. However,
the rest don't mind free munchies, so the outcome's mostly the same.
The chapter ends once the hard decision's reached and the camera's contents
are spilled. To recap the major points for the curious:
- Almost 85% of players chop off David's leg to save him
- Almost 90% of players try to save Jolene (crazy crossbow psycho)
- Most players try to save Larry
- An overwhelming amount of players don't kill both St. John brothers
- Most players don't steal from the car

3-1: Macon Streets
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Goodbye, She Quietly Says
The third installment begins with during a two-man supply run in town. Almost
immediately, Kenny will put Lee on the spot about leaving the motor inn -- he
will remember any actual reply (and only agrees with "we should go").
When Kenny climbs the trailer near the drugstore, inspect the ladder. When
it's a no-go, use the jeep's winch, starting a chat about Lilly. Lee has a
chance to condemn Kenny's actions ("You slaughtered her dad") if he didn't
assist, though the other options don't affect anything. Attach the cable to
an axle, then flip the winch control to comment on Clem and the station wagon
(doesn't matter).
Climb the jeep. Before Kenny pulls Lee up, he comments on Duck's near-miss at
Hershel's farm. The choices change ever so slightly if Lee tried to save Shawn
first, and Kenny remembers any remark here. Pick "what'd he say?" or "it was a
scary situation" for best effect; the others border on cruel dismissals.
Kenny will try hoisting Lee onto the trailer, only for it go bust. All that
noise eventually starts the installment's first major decision: performing a
mercy killing on a goner down the street or letting her be eaten (i.e. acting
as a noisy zombie attractor). The decision will impact how much time can be
alloted to the supply run afterwards, and the motel survivors will learn of
Lee's judgment call, too.
Either way, the next step is looting the pharmacy. The key to this portion is
haste: just grab the items, don't stop to inspect what they are. There's 20
to claim in all (8 shelf/floor, 7 box/shelf, 5 cabinet) and the game tallies
this in the upper-left corner. Pressing left/right will jump to the next
search area, eventually looping back around. If Lee killed the girl, time's
heavily constrained here.
When all items are found, or time runs out, Lee and Kenny turn to flee. Hop
the prescriptions counter, only to be pinned by a falling door. The QE event
is unwinnable in its first part, and ends during a small cutscene (Kenny will
flee or help, depending on how Lee assisted with Larry last chapter). Either
way, Lee will regain some strength to fight the horde off. Push the fridge to
block the doorway.
On the way out, the zombie pilot from the fallen helicopter will attack. Hit
it twice -- its motions can make this a little hard at times! -- then QE to
impale it on rebar. Kenny and Lee will then escape to...
3-2: Travelier Motel
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Bad Blood
The conqueroring looters return! First things first, the two report the haul
to Lilly. She'll still be holding a grudge about what happened to her dad,
and voices her opinion about wintering at the motel. Lee's can support Kenny
("We do whatever is best for the kids" & "We have to go eventually") or Lilly
here ("This place is fine, Kenny"). Kenny will take notice if Lee's backslid
from his stance, and always tells the result of how they handled the girl in
the previous subchapter.
Lilly will also comment on stolen supplies, which sets up the main event for
next subchapter...which starts now!
3-3: Travelier Motel, Pt. II
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Flashlight, Pink Chalk
Achievement: Hit the Road
Lee can now be controlled in the parking lot. There's some optional convos to
hold here, including a special Carley-only event (there's no counterpart if
Doug survived) where Lee can reveal his criminal past to the others. It's
optional, but fits the story well. Whatever Lee decides to do, she remembers
the decision. If it's not done, there's little to talk about until one follows
up on the supply thefts.
• Clementine: She's doing a leaf rubbing. If Lee reveals his past crime, she
will understand why he told her. (This option is available even if he tried
to do the same thing at the drugstore in "A New Day").
• Kenny & Katjaa: Lee can go through their normal conversations, but there's
nothing of interest. Each can be pulled aside if Lee wants to reveal his
murder conviction. It goes slightly different for each, with Kenny wondering
what the crime was (if Lee is coy about it, he asks "it wasn't for touching
kids, was it?") and Katjaa wanting to know about the meat locker incident
after. Lee can decline that retelling, though.
• Doug: he's near the couch in the RV foreground, and can be asked about his
safety and opinion on Lilly. There aren't any noticeable replies here.
• Ben: he's the RV watchman. He has some delightfully awkward chat options,
but nothing else, unless Lee talks about his felony. Ben will appreciate
being told...although it's more about someone giving him attention, not
that he cares much about the issue.
If everyone was informed, return to Carley for a follow-up. Either way, the
next step is speaking to Lilly about stolen supplies. Reply at leisure to her
first two comments; when she hauls out a broken flashlight, she'll pay mind to
how Lee reacts. ("I'll poke around" goes best; "It's just a few things" and
"Seems like you're manufacturing this from nothing" make her suspicious.)
Either way, Lee will have to investigate. Duck will have eavesdropped, and
will want to assist like his comic-book heroes. This decision is irrelevant,
since Duck's lizard brain causes him to join in anyway! (To be fair, this is
probably the funniest exchange in the whole chapter.)
Now that the event's started, Lee has access to clues. First, inspect the
sidewalk's broken glass (left-hand side of lot), then the chalk 'X' on the
wall nearby. Ask Clem about the chalk; Duck will find a piece near the gate
and hands it over. (High-fiving him has no relevance.) Inspect the scuff under
the main gate to gain outer-wall access. Walk "right" until Lee finds the
removable grate. Pry it open and get the bag full of...meds!
Lee automatically returns the supplies to Lilly. After the scene, bandits'll
attack the camp, claiming someone broke their supply deal. Lilly will run to
get in sniping position, asking Lee to stall. This can be done by simply
talking to them (any option) until shooting starts.
This starts an event where Lee clears the camp of intruders, an amount that
slightly depends on Doug/Carley's presence (he bags one, she bags). Either
way, reinforcements flock in from the forest, turning the place into a
killing ground.
Lee begins behind the RV. The goal is to pick off the shooters, which is done
by popping out from cover, firing, and popping back. If Lee lingers too long,
he'll be killed. (The now-standard red-screen effect gives this assessment.)
When Lee's killed two, Carley and Ben safely make it to the RV. Next, take
out three on the other side so Clem and Kenny's kin are home free. This will
require sniping the zombie that almost gets Kat. Finally, eliminate the
zombies on both sides of the RV (this part changes slightly if Doug, the
less experienced gunman, is with).
When Lilly finally arrives, the RV sets off...
3-4: Kenny's RV
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: What Now?
...and she starts pointing fingers. Regardless of circumstance, Carley/Doug
dies in this event. Outside that main shakeup, the only relevant dialogue
choices reflect on Ben, and whether Lee goes to bat for him ("Ben's a good
guy" or "I think he probably did it") -- this only occurs if Doug was alive,
though. In-between those choices, during Doug's plea ("I know I don't get
wrapped in the politics..."), Lee's choice has a different effect.
We need to act NOW. ---> You and Lilly agreed on this.
Doug's right ----------> Everyone noticed that.
Let's just let him go -> You tried to let it go.
... -------------------> You chose to remain silent.
After the chips fall, another major decision is reached: whether to let Lilly</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
come with or strand her on the roadside. Ironically, for as much trouble as
she just caused (especially with the growing Lee-Carley romance angle), this
decision matters little. It does make the next subchapter more interesting if
she tags along, however.
Before the decision takes root, Lilly will reveal Lee's past to the group.
Obviously, if Carley was alive, Lee had a chance to explain, but this ain't
the case for Doug. Back in the RV, speak with Katjaa and Kenny (who reflects
on the recent murderer news), then do a chat & silly QE event with Clem. This
is the only QE event where Lee can win it by doing nothing.
3-5: Abandoned Train
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Pencil, Water, Spike Remover, Map, Rag
Achievement: Handle It
The RV will come to rest at a train-blocked crossing, causing everyone to
get out for a rest. If Lilly tagged along, she'll be inside still. Lee will
need to get a Pencil out of the cup holder for later anyway, so feel free to
snag it now. Afterwards, there's a mandatory conversation about how Lilly
wants to commandeer the vehicle. Regardless of what happens, she'll drive off
in it, stranding everyone else. Any response to Kenny's yelling is fine here.
The others have nothing of relevance to say, although Ben will be annoyed if
Lee fingers him as the motel traitor.
Anyway, enter the train and search the boxcar. Grab the water (can be brought
to Katjaa) and start inspecting the engine. It has four compartments, but for
now, only the second-from-left, which contains tools, has anything of use: the
spike remover. Don't bother taking the spanner or monkey wrench, since Lee can
only hold one tool and will have switch later.
Kenny joins Lee in the conductor's car after they inspect the engineer. Look
at the tablet to find the startup controls...or what's left of 'em. If Lee
got the pencil, he can immediately set to work rubbing the indentations; if
not, he'll have to fetch it now. (This starts the Lilly/RV event.)
The tablet rubbing will give the correct order and switch positions. Lee only
needs to find the corresponding switchboard, in this order:
6: Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Down, Up
5: Lateral, Vertical
9: Left Turn, then Right Turn
Switch line 5 & 6 are near the driver's seat; 9 is on the train's outer
face, the leftmost of the four doors. When done correctly, the engine's primed
and Kenny will walk over (conversation is irrelevant). Try the throttle on the
engineer control panel to find the cars are stuck on the wrecked portion. Lee
can cut this loose by taking the spike remover, exiting out the boxcar's other
side, and jiggering the coupling.
Head back to meet Chuck, a hobo who's been inhabiting the train, and who's
already introduced himself to the others. He'll ask if Lee's taken anything
from the place. Lee can either lie ("I didn't take anything," although this
may be true, too) or be honest ("I took the map of the train routes"). He'll
take note of any subject-changing deflections, which is what other responses
do.
Either way, Lee will get the map and Chuck is accepted into the survivors'
group. Approaching Kenny will start the next even, so feel free to discuss
any remaining dialogue at this point. (The chat with Kenny about Duck's
worsening condition will always have the same tone.) When ready, press the
throttle to get rollin'.
En route, Duck will take a turn for the worse. Use the rag (on floor) to wipe
him off, then prepare to inform Kenny, who's still up front. There's no point
procrastinating, since there's nothing else to talk about now. Lee can get
the train to stop through dialogue or force.
• DIALOGUE: Avoid showing him the rag, then try to talk in a friendly or
understanding tone. Basically, these answers listed below. Confrontational
replies will tip things towards a fight, so pick the "back off" or "calm
down" option to right things and try again when the next opportunity arises.
- "Katjaa needs you"
- "I'm sorry"
- "This isn't about Duck"
- "You think you're the reason Duck got bitten"
- "You didn't kill Hershel's son"
• FORCE: Show the bloody rag, then provoke Kenny until he gets out of the
chair. When given the option, don't "back off" or "calm down" -- this'll
initiate the fight. Lee can simply take Kenny's blows (eventually, his rage
subsides) or follow the on-screen prompts to dodge his blows and put up an
actual fight. If done right, Kenny will get some sense knocked into him.
Finally, the train stops.
3-6: Georgia Wilderness
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Bottle of Whiskey, Map, Scissors
Achievement: Unexpected Delay
The first reply to Kenny doesn't affect anything, but the next decides who
(Kenny, Katjaa, Lee) does the deed. Not deciding is the same as picking Kat,
note. If Lee's been the family friend this whole time, him volunteering will
mean a lot to them. Clem will eventually ask about Duck, prompting variations
in Lee's dialogue (second convo counts as speaking honestly).
Regardless of what was chosen a moment before, Lee will run into the woods.
Lee can now have Kenny or himself do the deed. The third option, easiest done
by silence twice in a row, simply has the men leave the forest. Generally,
having Lee shoulder the burden is the best bet for future relations.
Once the event's over, Lee automatically speaks with Clem and Chuck. The
latter will chastise Lee over his lack of planning (he never likes Lee's
second reply) and give some sound advice for keeping Clem safe. Talking with
Kenny doesn't give anything important here, but it's flavorful! Ben, who's
outside the boxcar, doesn't have much to say, although the exchange about
Carley/Doug is hilarious in a twisted way.
Before speaking to Clem, snag the whiskey bottle and bring it to Chuck. Lee
can share a drink with him (doesn't matter), then tell Ken about it. This
gets him up long enough to snag the map in the side bin. En route to the
boxcar, Ben will confess his long-kept secret. Lee can either threaten him
about it ("I could kill you") or dissuade him from sharing it (any other).
Find Clem to follow up on Chuck's advice. They have to be done in the listed
order (Lee can talk about Ben and Chuck in the meantime).
• Shooting: Clem will get in some target practice. To coach her correctly
follow where her shot's off, then give suitable corrections. For instance,
if she shoots SE of the bottle, telling her to aim up and to the left would
straighten her shot. ("Keep it steady" means she's aligned perfectly.) Once
three bottles are broken, practice is over.
• Plan: Lee will hammer out a plan for when Savannah's reached. What Lee
tells Clem here will be echoed later, and some other survivors may not
agree with the priorities Lee sets.
- 1st conversation has Lee talk about main goals. Finding a boat is the
only option Kenny considers later, so tell her that to avoid future
problems. (Silence is tantamount to "let's look for your parents".)
- 2nd conversation is about looking for Clem's parents. Lee can humor her
or say they're dead, which naturally upsets the kid. (Making her cry
counts as "we'll look for them, but then we move on".)
- 3rd conversation is about informing her parents of Lee's checkered past.
This isn't important, so pick whatever.
• Haircut: Grab the scissors from Chuck's pack, then use the cutting option.
Clem expresses relief about Lee talking about his prior conviction. His
response (except silence) will be remembered.
The chapter ends when all three are squared away.
3-7: Abandoned Overpass
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Electrical Tape, Blowtorch
Achievement: Look Behind You
Kenny stops the train before it barrels into a petrol truck dangling from
an overpass. Before a shouting match can erupt, the group is noticed by Omid
and Christa, passers-by on the bridge above. They'll remember Lee's first
impression (pick "no, we're friendly" for best effect).
Climb the ladder, then answer their questions. The important replies they'll
remember deal with Lee's past and if the other survivors are on the level.
Lee can inform them about Kenny's latest predicament, Ben's youthful stupidity
or how they just met Chuck. There's little else to do up here, 'sides getting
the electrical tape from the emergency vehicle.
Back at ground level, pick anything in the next choice, causing the group to
mingle -- Lee can follow suit. Christa ("Where you from") can reveal Omid's
a Southern history buff, but won't appreciate further snooping about their
previous spat. If Lee wants to bond with Omid about the Civil War, find him
in the engineer's room. Note that the boxcar and surrounding area is closed
off from now on.
With the chit-chat over, head for the defunct station on the overpass' other
side -- Clem accompanies for this part. Round the far side is a locked door;
Lee will need to inspect the high window, then use the boost option on Clem.
Reply anything to the next question and Clem will unlock the sucker, despite
it quite clearly having a normal keyhole. Perhaps Lee's taught her magic in
addition to other survivalist traits...
Prop the door open with the spike remover, then inspect the gap above the
locked door. This time, however, walkers break in, causing Lee to drop his
sidearm. Back up to the door, take the tool and eliminate the foes. Then,
for part two, grab the keys from Clem, unlock the door and take the pistol
to eliminate the final straggler. When Christa investigates the noise, she'll
gently scold Lee for dragging Clem into the walker den. She'll remember any
reply to the last convo; to reassure her, pick "we're still alive, aren't
we?".
Grab the blowtorch, tell Clem the lesson they learned (she'll recall anything
mentioned here, even silence) and head back. Visit the overpass and begin
cutting task...only to find there's a minute leak somewhere. Patch it with the
electrical tape, cut it as much as possible, then have Omid do the remaining
portion.
3-8: Abandoned Overpass, Pt. II
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Lend Me Your Ears
Omid's cutting goes smoothly, just as a giant herd of walkers approaches. Kick
the blowtorch into the petrol, then prepare to jump. Lee can push Omid; the
other verbal options let him jump himself. Silence has Omid push Lee, of all
things!
The fifth major choice of this installment is picking who to save, Christa or
Omid. However, both will end up being saved, so feel free to pick either --
it matters little. What DOES matter is letting time run out, which is a major
dick move and influences how the couple likes Lee later on.
With everyone on board, relay to Kenny the decision Clem was told earlier. As
said earlier, he only agrees with finding a boat; the other options rub him
the wrong way. Chapter recap:
- Most players shoot the girl in the street
- Most players don't strand Lilly by the roadside
- Most players end up fighting Kenny to calm him down
- An overwhelming number of players perform the mercy killing
- Most players save Omid and Christa in equal portions.

The fourth installment begins after the team has landed in Savannah and
disembarked from the train to the suburbs. Lee starts with the walkie-talkie
in this scenario.
4-1: Savannah Streets
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Georgia's First City
After speaking with Clem about her radio, Christa will comment on Omid's leg
injury. Lee can have the group halt ("you're right, let's stop") or continue
on, with or without assistance. If Lee lends Omid a hand ("I'll help carry
him"), Christa will appreciate it. Regardless, two useless conversations
later, the loud church bells will summon walkers.
To begin, a zombie will latch onto Kenny's leg, so shoot it off quickly. (If
a player's too slow, Christa saves the day instead.) Next, Clem will be in
the midst of a zombie crowd, which starts a first-person shooting event to
save her. The pistol has infinite ammo in this portion, but Lee can never slay
the leftmost sidewalk zombie gunning for Clem. Instead, just shoot the nearby
stiffs until Chuck's rescue.
The chapter ends soon after.
4-2: Abandoned House
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Shovel, Collar
Desperate to escape the walkers, everyone congregates in a backyard, trying
to find a way inside. Control returns to Lee at this point, letting him speak
with everyone before continuing.
• Kenny: several topics, but none important
• Ben: several topics, but none important
• Clem: she'll be worrying about the yard's safety. Most answers will give
reassurance, though silence is a little unsettling.
• Omid: he'll be wondering about his leg. Lee can be a straight shooter
("She's right, it looks bad") or reassure him (any non-silence option).
When ready, inspect the house's doggie door, enabling Lee to grab the shovel
along the shed. Use the implement on the grave to uncover the former pooch
and his unique collar. When Clem asks, reply anything except the 1st option
("stay away") which hurts her feelings.
Now that the collar's been found, the doggie door can be accessed...by Clem.
When no one's looking. Lee has a chance to praise ("good job, Clem!"), gently
warn ("you should have asked me first") or outright scold her ("don't ever do
that again!"). Like usual, silence offers some neutrality.
Once inside, Christa asks about the walkie talkie issue; Lee can either lie
("I didn't know"), offer an excuse ("I didn't want to worry anyone") or be
honest ("I only found out yesterday," though this still annoys her). After,
Clem will speak to Lee. If Lee scolded her for the entrance stunt, he can
make her feel better by apologizing ("I'm sorry I yelled") or exacerbate the
issue (silence). If he praised or gently warned her, this event doesn't occur.
Next issue for Lee is checking all the downstairs doors: two in the sitting
room, plus the closet near the main entrance. (There's many things to look
at here, though none are important, save the whiskey Lee can't take yet.)
Once all three are checked, there'll be another walkie-talkie scene. If Lee
shouts at Clem ("we want an answer, Clementine!"), he makes her nervous, so
pick one of the gentler options instead.
The conversation's broken up by Ben, who wants Lee to check the attic. See
what the ruckus is, then choose who should kill the zombie. (If Lee chooses
himself, approach the foe, then stomp, shoot or bludgeon it with whatever
instrument is on-hand.) If Lee chooses to leave the attic, Christa performs
the killing. Regardless, our protagonist has to do a backyard burial. Place
the corpse in the dog's grave, then haul dirt four times.
Immediately after, Lee will yell at a shadowy figure spying on him. When the
others run out, he can lie about the encounter ("just a stray dog"), ignore
the question (silence) or be honest (anything else). This event will rattle
the survivors, prompting Kenny to start his River Street boat hunt. There's
no changing the outcome, so those who want to get in good with Kenny should
agree ("the sooner we leave, the better"). This affects a decision later in
the installment.
Clementine and Ben will want to accompany Lee, but they have to be refused.
It's just a matter of informing Clem (gently or firmly) and telling Ben his
place; for the latter, Lee can bring up his past ("no offense, Ben...") or
have him keep watch over Clem/Omid. Either way, Lee and Kenny will be the
two-man crew, leading to...
4-2: River Street Docks
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Quarter, Climbing Pick
Achievement: Down by the River
Answer Kenny's questions en route (they don't matter) to control Lee on the
empty waterfront. The suggestion to check the telescope doesn't pan out, as
neither of the men has a quarter. Lee inspects the walker barricade at this
point, if it wasn't done before. Don't bother shooting any of 'em -- they
pose no threat.
To get a coin, inspect, then club, the newspaper machine with the tool taken
from the train. Get back to the telescope, then start scanning around. The
only thing worth watching will be on the leftmost side of the vista, where
Lee spies a red-clothed figure climbing down a building. The two men hide as
the stranger approaches the defunct newsstand.
Pick any option, 'cause a sneak attack is decided on. Approach the counter
and peek over, only to get snuck up on instead. Lee can grapple with the
stranger and block incoming blows to gain the upper hand, or get clobbered --
either way, Clementine breaks up the row. After Kenny appears, the stranger
then reveals himself to be...herself! Molly!
This handy she-ninja will be wondering who the people are and whether they're
from Crawford, wherever that is. She'll remember Lee's first reply about the
subject if he clams up ("I don't have to tell you anything") but subsequent
queries -- regarding children, bells, the back fence, etc. -- aren't.
Just as the conversation comes to a close, the local "geeks" arrive, causing
the survivors and Molly to enter the alley. Clem and Kenny will get hoisted
up, but Lee lands flat on his bottom. Quickly push the dumpster aside, then
inspect the manhole to get a gift from Molly. Take the climbing pick, then
pry open the cover in a small QE event. Lee, separated from everyone, has to
take refuge in...
4-3: Savannah Sewers
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Handle, Revolver
Achievement: Support Group
Surprisingly, only one zombie takes a header! Lee's only chance of escape
lies deeper in this complex, so venture on, down the small slope, past a
locked door and unusable pipe. From there on, a zombie group blocks the way
forward, and approaching them leads to an inevitable game over. Instead, duck
into the waist-high passage, tamper with the valve clockwise, then take its
handle.
The way back is blocked, so take the foreground passage to the locked door
passed earlier -- it can be pried open with the pick. Next, use the valve on
the corner pipe, being careful not to linger too long in plain sight. (Just
input the command from afar for easy effect.) The running water creates noise
for a diversion, so quickly retreat to the short maintenance tunnel and let
the walkers past.
Lee picks up a revolver while moving past the zombies' latest corpse, and
can stealthily approach the far-off straggler. However, a zombie in a lower
grate snags his leg, causing a small QE event. Lee will need to free himself,
plus deal with the alerted straggler, and the best way to get through is by
using the climbing pick. Lee can also use his own pistol, but the noise will
attract the distracted zombies, making the next portion have a time limit.
Note that if Lee uses the pick on the grate zombie, he'll have to reinput the
command for the 2nd one too, so be careful not to foul it up!
Either way, Lee will make for the passage's end. Use the climbing pick on the
broken ladder to knock loose the sign, which is covering a mysterious hole.
Push it aside and head in to find...a fully-supplied underground bunker! The
door leads into a morgue where several new faces are hiding, which leads to
a quick standoff.
The geezer with the gun will wonder who Lee is. The easiest way to get past
this event is trying to calm him down ("I don't wany trouble" or "nobody"),
then giving reassurance ("let's talk about this" "I'm not from Crawford").
Lee will be shot if he responds with silence to the 2nd question, or if he's
slow taking Vernon's gun away afterward (even if he reassured them), so be
quick about disarming!
With things settled, Lee converses with the cancer survivor group. He can be
honest about his arrival ("walkers" or "we were looking for a boat") or avoid
the question. Lee's next reply doesn't matter much, since, like it or not,
Vernon agrees to guide him back to his group. Finally, Lee can incentivize
his guide, via lies ("we have medicine"), duress ("If you don't, I'll kill
you") or mentioning Clementine; silence brings up Omid's injury. Mentioning
Clem gives Lee a chance to lie about her being his real daughter (Vernon'll
assume this if silence is chosen).
Either way, it's back to...
4-4: Abandoned House, Pt. II
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Hatchet
Achievement: Bedside Manor
Back at the brownstone, the first person seen is Molly, who tagged along with
Kenny and Clem. She'll inquire about Vern, letting Lee answer plainly ("he's
a doctor") or deflect in some manner. Either way, Lee returns her climbing
pick and Christa comes downstairs. If Lee lied about having meds earlier, it
creates an awkward situation when Vernon brings it up. Either way, there's
a scene with Omid before Lee can walk around normally.
Next is finding Clementine. Lee starts upstairs, although to save some time,
she's not up there. (Molly is, though, in the far bedroom, and directs Lee to
his "redneck friend".) Going downstairs automatically starts a scene with Ben
and the newly liquored-up Kenny. Lee can try to reason with his buddy ("give
me the bottle" or "Kenny, take it easy") or yell at Ben. Staying silent does
nothing. After, speaking with the pair again questions them about Clementine,
giving a good chance to rail into Ben, if he was asked to guard her. (Note
that this doesn't affect anything, but it's still great to see Ben get flak.)
Lee will enter the backyard. Approach and open the shed door to reunite with
Clem. Much to everyone's surprise, the shed held a motorboat. Answer any way
one wants until the group must decide on where the battery and gas, the only
two things their new vessel lacks. Suggesting Crawford is the only realistic
answer; suggesting a street search or doing nothing doesn't go over well. The
method Lee wants (negotiation, sneak attack, by force) won't matter.
Eventually, Clementine will ask about Crawford, letting Lee answer honestly
("I don't know" or "yes, it will be dangerous") or assure her ("no, don't
worry"). Either way, having been left behind earlier, she'll want to
tag along, to which Lee can agree/decline. This is the third major decision
and affects the invasion of Crawford slightly. Omid will live either way, so
there's no story-related reason to exclude her, really.
Make the decision and wait for nightfall. Eventually, Vernon will arrive with
his mouthy ally Brie, to which Lee can respond positively ("the more, the
better") or rudely ("we don't need her"). She's coming either way, however.
Also, depending on Clem, Lee will decide to (not) arm her or explain his
rationale, respectively. Hatchet in hand, the group moseys through the sewers
toward...
4-5: Crawford
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Georgia's Last City
*NOTE* If Clem's not with, her related Crawford events don't occur, natch.
When able, climb up to the eerily quiet streets via the manhole. When the
group stumbles upon a guard, approach and dispatch him -- this makes everyone
take refuge in the old school. The response to Kenny about pursuers will
freak out Clem/Ben unless Lee responds firmly ("I don't think so"). Respond
to Vernon's comment to move into a classroom.
Here, the tasks are divied up, with Lee and Molly seeking out the battery,
supposedly in the school's maintenance garage. It's down the hall, past the
staircase entrance, then the right-side exit. Feel free to look around the
classroom -- including a fun convo with Clem, if she's there, and a question
about admitting fault with Ben -- before going outside. (Note that Lee gave
his hatchet to Kenny at this earlier.)
Walk to the small shed along the garage. Eye the roof hole and climb up the
shelving; Lee can hop the side fence. Inspect the heavy garage door and back
fence for a scene where a falling zombie signals Molly's reapparance. Reply
to her in any fashion, then do a quick QE event where Lee jacks up the door.
Naturally, being a slowpoke means dinner for the undead assailants...
4-6: Crawford, Pt. II
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Hilda, Tape #1, Tape #2, Tape #3, Logan's Code, Hatchet, Shotgun
Achievement: For Whom the Bell Tolls
Inside, inspect the hydraulic hose near the raised car, then ask to borrow
Hilda (the "hook-thingy") from Molly. Nick the hydraulic hose to lower the
car...a bit too fast. Disconnect the battery by inspecting the plugs twice
each -- this portion is timed, so don't dawdle. Molly will keep the battery
in her pack, so escape by climbing the truck, shooting the skylight and
letting her pull Lee up. In fact, she has a stronger pulling arm than Kenny!
Now above the garage, respond to Molly's roof-jumping goad (any option's fine)
and prepare to leap. Make sure to click on her hand as soon as possible, lest
Lee and the concrete become intimately familiar! On his way down the hallway,
Kenny and Brie will arrive with gas...and walkers. To do this QE event, close
the door, shoot the zombie, grab the hatchet, then shut the door a 2nd time.
Odd how a billion zombies can infiltrate a small garage and push down fences,
but they can't get through a simple glass door...
Return to the classroom to find Ben and/or Clem waiting, though the armory's
still shut. The next step is visiting the hallway's left fork, although one
can chat with the current survivors here (including one of Kenny's funniest
exchanges, where Lee reminds him Molly saved his life and he complains "but
what has she done for me lately?"). If Lee didn't speak to Ben earlier, he
will repeat his guilt-related query; the answer's irrelevant.
The fork leads to a small QE event where Lee guns down random zombies who've
accumulated at the nurse's station. Inside, the meds have been found...behind
a password-locked safe. When able, root around the office for any goodies,
namely Tapes 1 (inside a file on the desk). Play it in the camcorder.
Lee will recognize the doc as the walker near the outdoor garage. Return to
the garage via the same method -- the only change-up is a walker in the shed,
which is fought off in a QE event (probably the funniest death in the game).
Stomp the doc's head and loot his body for the 2nd tape and a code to Logan's
locker. Lee will automatically backtrack to the schoolhouse, so no garage
hijinx this time.
Finding Tape #3 is optional, but easy to find: it's in the "bloody locker"
en route to the nurse's station. Return to watch Tape #2, after which all
the morphine and antibiotics will be claimed. Lee can watch the third tape
at this time, giving a bit about Molly's past. This will come into play on
the way to the classroom, where Lee can confront her about it (the first two
options) or blow it off ("forget it, let's go"). If Molly explains herself,
Lee can sympathize ("I understand"), blow her off ("I don't care") or gently
change the subject ("let's just go").
On the way back, meet Ben (irrelevant convo) and see Molly get attacked by
a straggler. Lee will have to shoot the zombie in first person POV to save
her, or waste time, leaving her behind. If Clementine was brough to Crawford,
she saves Molly, eliminating the need for Lee to intervene. Either way, Lee
gets his hatchet back and everyone gathers in the classroom.
At this point, Ben's feelings come flowing out. Lee can try to silence him
("we don't have time for this" or "Ben, shut up") but either way, he informs
Kenny about past actions. Lee can then side with Ben ("it was a mistake") or
his longtime travel companion ("Kenny, calm down!" or "kick his ass later!").
Regardless of what Lee says in the next conversation, everyone calls a vote
to let Ben come or stay. Clem will want to vote, too, if she's with -- Lee
can refuse ("no") or agree ("of course you do" or silence). She always picks
to let Ben stay, note. Lee can then cast his vote, or abstain (silence counts
as abstaining also). If Lee votes differently than Clem, she'll be annoyed,
however.
After a cutscene, everyone will scramble through the armory door Kenny kicked
down. For the next event, Lee will have to ascend the stairs while fighting
off the zombies he foolishly let into the room. Luckily, an infinite-ammo
shotgun is just what the doctor ordered. Slowly back up, firing when needed
(watch out for crawlers) until Lee's foot gets jammed. To free himself, he'll
have to kill approaching zombies, then tug on his leg when the coast's clear.
Repeat this four times to get free.
With covering fire from his buddies, Lee can now stalk upstairs to melee the
unaware pursuers. Click on them when able to do the deed, being careful not
to let them turn around and attack (only the third one tends to get a chance
at this game over). The hatchet is dropped after this event.
Everyone congregates at the bell tower's apex, looking to reach the roofs.
Somehow, a zombie is attached to the bell rope and grabs Ben. Lee can shoot
it off or let Ben die. If Lee kills the zombie, Ben will be hanging by a
thread, opening up another conversation in which Ben asks Lee to let him go.
Letting Ben fall, or saving him, is the fourth major decision to deliberate.
(Picking silence lets him die, for those wondering.)
Choose wisely to finish the chapter.
4-7: Abandoned House, Pt. III
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: The Morning After
With meds in tow, everyone returns to base.
• If Clementine was left behind, she'll either have killed an intruding
zombie (provided she was armed) or trapped one in the closet, forcing the
men to gun it down. If Clem didn't come with, she'll ask about her parents.
Lee can reply honestly ("no, we didn't" or "there wasn't time") or sidestep
the issue. If Lee heartlessly left Molly behind, she'll ask about that, too
-- the options are clearly spelled out this time, though. Clem remembers any
reply given (silence included) here.
After the above bullet point, or if Clem came with, everyone goes to Omid's
bedroom. He'll have survived either way, though if Ben died, Kenny mentions
it in front of Clem, causing her to run into the hall. Vernon will want a
private chat, its tenor decided by Lee's recent action (like threatening him
or lying about having meds in the house). He'll also offer to take Clem off
Lee's hands, since there's doubts about her wellbeing. Lee can entertain the
offer ("you have a point"), give a non-answer ("I need to think about this")
or tell him off ("walk away, Vernon").
Having heard Vern's deal, and seen Molly split (assuming she survived), Lee
automatically seeks out Clem upstairs. She'll ask about the boat destination
and Ben, though the replies aren't important. The third question is about
searching for her parents; Lee can be honest ("let it go" or "there may not
be time"), avoid her question (silence) or lie. Either way, the response'll
upset her. Lee will sit on the couch until he conks out.
In the morning, Mr. Everett goes into the backyard.
4-8: Abandoned House, Pt. IV
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Clem's Hat, Walkie-Talkie
Achievement: Penultimate
Pick up Clem's Hat, then hop the fence to find her walkie-talkie by some
garbage. Lee will be ninja'd by a walker, forcing him to bash it into a wall
then stomp it. However, he ain't unscathed. As the other survivors approach,
he has a chance to show or hide his death sentence -- the 5th and final major
decision to make, and it directly impacts the final installment.
Basically, Lee will now have to convince his comrades to help him out on the
search for Clem. They're spoken to in a set order.
• Omid & Christa: They never help if Lee concealed his bite, but always help
if Lee was forthright about his new injury.
• Kenny: Having been in Lee's group since the first installment, there's a lot
of baggage for him to weigh, particularly if Lee's flip-flopped on major
choices that Kenny had. However, it's possible that, in light of past help,
Kenny can rationalize his assistance ("Clementine is my family"). Choosing
the other options, particularly "go f*** yourself," are dead-ends. If Lee
has had Kenny's back the entire game, Kenny pledges assistance immediately,
foregoing any rigamarole.
If Ben survived, Kenny will chime in that he doesn't want to go anywhere with
him, giving Lee an ultimatum. Lee can get both to accompany anyway ("Kenny,
deal with it"), which makes the next chapter more exciting. Otherwise, Lee
can choose not to bring one of them (silence is taken as siding against Ben).
• Ben: if asked to stay, Lee can ask him to stay with the boat, or hook him
into coming with anyway ("Clementine stood up for you"). If Lee has helped
Ben throughout the game, without being overly critical or threatening him,
letting Ben choose ("it's up to you") has him come with, too. Silence will
always have the kid stay put.
Either way, Lee will head to the morgue with those who agreed to help.
4-9: Hospital Morgue
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: ---
Listen to the radio conversation, then the one after that. What Lee responds
doesn't change anything, despite the chapter-ending cliffhanger! Recap:
- Most players kill the zombie in the attic themselves
- Most players are rational and honest with Vernon (instead of threatening)
- Most players bring Clementine to Crawford
- An overwhelming amount of players save Ben at the bell tower
- An overwhelming amount of players reveal their bite
Additionally, the game keeps track of the survivors Lee got to help him (8
possible combination). The combinations are:
- Lee
- Lee, Ben
- Lee, Kenny
- Lee, Kenny, Ben
- Lee, Christa, Omid
- Lee, Christa, Omid, Kenny
- Lee, Christa, Omid, Ben
- Lee, Christa, Omid, Ben, Kenny
The five-man group is generally available by being honest and kind to the
allies, so it's a little surprising that (at time of this writing) it's got
the highest attainment percentage. Just a little trivia.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The final installment will play out slightly different, depending on the
survivors Lee recruited (if any).
5-1: Hospital Morgue
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Rib Spreader
The installment opens with the response Lee chose last chapter, which ends
radio contact with the stranger. At this point, if Omid and Christa are with,
they'll ask Lee how his zombie-inflicted wound is feeling, remembering any
answer he gives. No matter which survivors Lee ends up with, zombies attack
the bunker's door and he'll have to find an alternate route.
One can now inspect the morgue, namely surgical supplies (can't be taken) and
a Rib Spreader, which Lee should pocket. Next, maneuver to the back elevator
and stick the newly-acquired item into the gap; Lee will start cranking open
the door. When the deed is done, Lee loses consciousness.
When he comes to, he'll be on the operating table, surrounded by his pal/s
who've discovered his wound. (If he's alone, he wakes up by himself still.)
This is where last chapter's decision to conceal or reveal the zombie wound
comes into play...although it doesn't have earth-shaking impacts like one
would expect. If Lee hid the ailment, he'll have a chance to make amends.
The installment's first major decision is whether or not Lee should amputate
his arm (to stave off infection) or do nothing. Despite being one of the big
choices for Lee, it affects very little plot-wise, so either option's fine.
If our protagonist goes under the knife, he'll have to pick the saw prompt
four times to complete. (Lee always passes out afterwards, leading to his
helpers dressing the wound.) If Lee skips the literal hackjob, there's no
fuss to deal with.
Anyway, with the milestone over, it's time to enter the elevator. Work the
rib spreader again to bust open the door, leading to a long ladder. Lee will
always take up the rear of his group here (assuming there's a group to begin
with). On the way up, if Lee didn't amputate, he'll nearly fall off, and has
to quickly grab a rung to avoid splattering the shaft's bottom. Otherwise,
the ascent is all about hitting "W" to climb. Any dialogue that takes place,
as well as the falling zombie, don't matter here.
5-1: Hospital Rooftop
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Into the Fire
Up top, everyone will discuss how best to leave the hellhole they're in (this
includes meaningless dialogue about staying on track and, if applicable, Lee
passing out on the ladder). Lee can walk around when everyone disperses, but
his comrades have little to say besides flavor text. However, if Ben is still
alive, Lee can give him further encouragement (or its opposite), which he'll
remember.
To continue, look at the bell tower near Omid, pick up the ladder along
the long wall. Click on its destination for a rote discussion on who'll do
the honors -- it's always Lee. Speaking of things that always occur: the gear
holding the extension in place snaps, forcing one to click the sprint prompt
before our strapping protagonist plummets to his death.
Everything's gone well and now Lee is...stranded on the tower. Inspect the
floor hatch, then pull the rope -- those sweet peals attract all zombies for
miles around. Lee now has the arduous task of jumping back to safety, which
is roughly the same, regardless of possible amputation. Click the ledge
prompt to safely pull up, which cues everyone's swift exit to...
5-2: Abandoned House
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Cleaver
Achievement: Twice Shy
Home sweet hovel! Unfortunately, someone has alighted with the boat. Lee can
deduce the thief ("This was Vernon") or give a wild, panicky guess (the other
two) that makes Christa take notice. If Lee didn't recruit some survivors to
accompany him to the morgue earlier, this situation is replaced by a different
scenario, in which they (the ones who stayed behind) are locked inside the
shed. Lee will then have to let them out to uncover what transpired.
Before going inside, Lee will also have to deal with 3 other situations, if
they apply: (1) if Lee didn't tell Christa and Omid about the bite, forcing
them to stay behind, they'll find out at this point and question Lee. They
remember his answer. (2) Lee will have to answer what he thinks the best
course of action is. "Get to the countryside" appeals to Omid & Christa. (3)
if Ben is alive, he and Kenny will get into a loud argument; dialogue options
here make no difference.
Either way, walkers will force everyone to take shelter inside. Lee gets to
give everyone their marching orders, but it's mostly pointless (although
Christa remembers her given task) -- the front door's open. Kick the zombie
that grabs Lee through the doggie door, then grab the cleaver in the upper-
-right drawer when prompted. Finally, end the panic by slicing the hands off
the door-clogging dead. Be quick about it or the place is overrun!
...which is kinda what happens anyway. Have Lee chop down the unfriendly face
attacking him, then help Kenny push the upstairs desk (QE event). Everyone'll
mount a last stand in the corridor, but no matter how true one's shot, the
horde's too big. End the subchapter by pulling the attic rope and scrambling
to the top level.
5-3: Abandoned House, Pt. II
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Pistol
Achievement: There Ain't No Way
Trapped in the attic, no way through the window...great. (On the positive
side, if Ben is with, he'll give Lee the gun he dropped a moment before.) In
the next few minutes, there's dialogue about Lee's arm and Clem's walkie, but
they lack notable choices.
At this point, tension starts to boil. Lee's reaction to Kenny's escape query
("we have to go NOW", et al.) will be remembered. Kenny will also chastise
Lee if he kept his arm intact, referencing "Starved for Help" events. The only
major decision here is whether or not to let loose on Kenny. To do this, grab
the nearby bust and throw it at him, or do nothing and have Kenny smash it
against the wall in frustration. Either way, a hole in the wall is formed.
Grab the coat rack when prompted.
Kenny will take first shift on the wall-breaking crew, letting Lee converse
with the rest. The dialogue here is plentiful, but irrelevant. Only the talk
about who will be Clem's caretakers if he turns (Omid & Christa, Kenny, or
"find a family for her") will be remembered. Later on, after the whiskey's
found and Kenny starts reminiscing, Lee can comment on Lilly and the past.
One can be forgiving ("I'm sorry for any pain I caused"), brush it off ("water
under the bridge") or call Kenny a bastard; silence is noted by Christa. It
doesn't matter if one drinks the whiskey, either.
Omid breaks through the wall at this point.
5-4: Abandoned House (Next Door)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Mercy
After some dialogue in the corpses' bedroom, inspect the balcony door. The
entire squad will jump onto the roof and make for River Street without any
problems.
• However, the balcony jump portion plays out much differently if Ben's still
alive. Since he's last to leap, and the balcony always unhinges after Kenny
goes, this causes Ben to fall into the alley. The gist of this portion is
Kenny and Lee go down to investigate, walkers appear, and Kenny stays behind
to give Lee a fighting chance to escape. If Lee disagrees, he's locked into
the side alley. None of the dialogue in this section matters, except what
Lee conveys to Christa and Omid on the roof: what transpired and Lee's
honest opinion on Kenny's actions (pick "he wasn't a bad guy" for best
effect).
5-5: River Street Rooftops
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Pole, Walkie-Talkie
Achievement: The Marsh House
The team has finally made it to River Street!
• If Kenny's with, after some small talk, he accidentally knocks the walkie
into a roof hole. Respond to the nudge, and eventually Christa will jump
down to claim it. Grab the pole near the scaffolding to start a QE event,
only for it to (mandatorily) fail. However, the second one can succeed; if
Lee's too slow, it's game over. Later, after Kenny's fighting off-screen,
our hero can comment on his heroics ("he's dead," "I don't know", "maybe
he ran"). Omid and Christa will remember that comment.
If Kenny isn't with, Christa will want to talk about Lee's decision to have
them (or Kenny) take care of Clem. If Lee wants to make a good impression,
pick "you guys would be great for her" or "yeah, you do" (which appears
depends on previous decision). Either way, the 3-man crew will approach the
Marsh House overlook.
Lee now has to decide who'll test the waters in crossing the street-spanning
sign. This choice doesn't matter: Lee will get separated from his companions
from now on. (However, if Lee went first, he'll have to do a small event to
grab the broken strut, lest he fall.) This situation always gives a chance
for Lee to meet up with Christa and Omid later at a designated spot. To do
this, Lee has to decide right when asked ("F*** it, I'm going for it") then
choosing a destination (rendezvous at street level, by the train, or north
of town).
Either way, Lee's going to rough it at street level with his melee weapon(s).
He automatically advances on his own, so the only matter at hand is clicking
on zombies to kill before they approach for snack time. Do this ten times to
finish the event.
5-6: The Marsh House
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Pistol, Cleaver
Achievement: What's in the Bag?
Lee starts in an empty corridor. Enter the first room available and look at
one of the doors connected by rope -- this introduces Lee to Clem's abductor.
After some awkward small talk, Lee will be asked to put his possessions on
the writing desk. How Lee complies here is the third major choice to make in
this installment. (Giving away everything off the bat does just that; picking
a lie requires lying a 2nd time, or caving in to the previous request.)
At this point, the abductor will sit Lee down to discuss who he is and some
past choices, namely:
- who is saved during the drugstore climax of Chapter 1
- the supply-filled station wagon in Chapter 2
- whether or not Clem was brought to Crawford
Lee's responses during this portion don't matter. Eventually, Clem will sneak
out of the bathroom. Lee can nod (prompt click) for her to grab an item on
the desk and smack the stranger with it. If nothing is chosen, she'll use
fisticuffs. No matter what's chosen, this provides enough of a distraction
for Lee to attack.
Bumrush the gunman to start a QE event, which successfully disarms the goon.
Lee can either tackle him as he tries to get the gun, or punch after he gets
the gun and misses. Either way, the guy is pressed into the closet, and Lee
can make the 4th major decision: killing or sparing the abductor. To do the
former, continue choking with the QE prompt; to spare him, simply quit the
stranglehold. Of course, his reprieve is short-lived because Clem ends up
shooting him anyway. (If Lee chokes him, he has the option to shoot the guy
to prevent him from turning, an irrelevant gesture.)
Finally, the reunion takes place. Answer at leisure, then feel free to inspect
what little the room holds. To leave, inspect the main entrance and kill the
walker before it can get Clem. Lee now has the inenviable task of smearing
rotting guts as a type of putrid smokescreen. After cutting into the fresh
walker, do this three times to continue.
5-7: River Street
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: ---
Achievement: Stay Close to Me
The shortest subchapter in the game is just walking along at a snail's pace.
Anything Lee comments on here won't be held against him, and he's scripted to
pass out, regardless of amputation.
5-8: River Street Jewelers
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items -----: Baseball Bat, Handcuffs
Achievement: What Remains
Do the unwinnable QE event and Clem learns Lee's dilemma. Inch along the
counter and listen to Clem's misgiving ("never let yourself get trapped" is
the only option she remembers) before slumping near the radiator. Try and fail
two more QEs, then direct Clem to the baseball bat under the counter. She can
now break the guard station window. The zombie's alerted, but the way's still
clear: move the stool, grab the handcuffs and pick their target.
Clem now has to get the zombie's gun. Coach her in what to do first; either
way, the zombie breaks free and starts chasing Clem. Let it continue (man, it
feels bad saying that) until she bumps the display stand -- quickly inspect
it to get her out of harm's way. Finally, inspect the baseball bat to properly
arm Clem for the kill. (Even if Lee's handcuffed, it won't change results.)
Lee can congratulate her on killing the zombie, though only one option ("you
can take care of yourself") will be retained by the young'un. Eventually, Lee
will have to face the 5th and final major decision: having Clem mercy kill him
or leaving him to turn.
• ABANDON: Lee can explain why he chose this, but Clem will only remember two
of the options ("save the bullet" and "shooting people changes you").
• MERCY KILL: Lee gets to impart a bit of wisdom before the deed. First, he
can suggest where Clem goes from here (find Omid & Christa, don't trust
anybody, find a group). Second, he can offer miscellaneous advice (avoid
cities, always be moving, keep short hair) as a follow-up. She'll remember
any non-silence answers.
That ends the game! Here's the final recap for the main storyline:
- Most players amputate Lee's arm
- Most players don't calmly argue with Kenny in the attic
- A little over half the players surrender all weapons to the stranger
- A little under half the players strangle the stranger
- A litle over half the players have Clem stop Lee from turning
Additionally, the game will recap all major events for all characters. Some
of these events listed can impact Season 2's installments, note. (As of this
writing, only the first two are released, but I've already seen some scenarios
impacted.)

06) 400 DAYS [DLC] [WK06]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The first season's only DLC is a series of vignettes setting up new faces and
reintroducing old ones. The short character pieces can be done in any order,
but the walkthrough'll just do with the 400-day timeline, which is concurrent
with Season 1. Each side story has a major impacting decision, except Shel's
which has two.
Note that the DLC is the only installment with missable achievements ("Two
Out of Three" and "Reunited").
VINCE
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Days In ---: 002
Achievement: Chain Gang
Fresh off a murder, Vince's chapter begins with him deciding whether to ditch
the hot weapon (trash can, roof) or keep moving. This decision is referenced
in dialogue later, but doesn't change that he's arrested and, eventually, put
on a prison bus out of Atlanta. Unfortunately, it's now stuck in traffic...
Chit-chat with the other soon-to-be inmates -- including an option to mention
his crime ("I helped my little brother") -- before trouble breaks out. Danny
will want to help the criminal being choked; Vince's buddies will remember
his answer. Of course, it doesn't change anything: Crabtree chokes the thirsty
fella before getting a shotgun lobotomy.
Talk to the guard until he's attacked, then flip him over (small QE event) to
snag his shotgun, which can then be used to kill the walker. The tension over,
search the guard for the chain keys and...they're not there. Next, shoot at
the looters, then the chain.
This marks the chapter's major decision: shooting the ankle off Justin or
Danny so the other one can escape. The person shot will be left behind,
presumably to die. (To successfully flee, the ankle must be shot twice.)
WYATT
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Days in ---: 41
Achievement: Abandoner
Wyatt and his buddy Eddie, two stoner types, start on the highway, going past
the now-empty prison bus from Vince's chapter. The action begins immediately,
as Wyatt has to shoot out the back window at a pursuing truck. Fire until the
guy's headlight is hit and he disappears.
After turning into a misty forest, the two argue a bit about the course of
action (Eddie remembers the response to him turning off the lights). The rest
of the banter is flavor, including a sweet "let's Tom Cruise outta here," but
fairly meaningless. When prompted, check the glove compartment.
The plot rears its head again when the laughing buddies accidentally hit
someone in the road, causing an abrupt stop. Respond to Eddie, then look at
the missing side mirror and windshield, then glass in the road. Finally, check
the rearview mirror. This starts the major decision of this chapter: which of
the two goes out to check on "the guy".
Wyatt will go automatically if he volunteers. If he doesn't want to, Eddie
suggests a game of rock-paper-scissor to decide. Which friend ends up being
the 1-man search party forms the basis for this story's major decision. (This
is the only chance to get the "Two Out of Three" cheevo, which requires
winning, naturally, 2 of the 3 tries. There's extra funny dialogue for
repeatedly tying.) Whoever checks takes the gun with 'em.
• EDDIE CHECKS: After a little while, Wyatt is thrown the keys, which are
dropped somewhere. Turn on the cab light, then check the floorboard, which
requires pushing the seat back. Once they're claimed, do the QE event, close
the door and fire up the ignition. Punch the attacker three times, then hit
the gear shift to escape.
• WYATT CHECKS: Examine each piece of debris while proceeding, then approach
the cop's body. Wyatt will have to pick up the half-dead man and drag him
back toward Eddie's car, all the while shooting off zombies stumbling outta
the fog. This part's pretty simple -- just don't let the walkers get too
close and things'll be fine.
Completing either scenario ends the story.
RUSSELL
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Days In ---: 184
Achievement: Friends Like These
Russ begins hitchhiking on a road, his first real choice being to hide from
an oncoming truck or do nothing. (To get the "Reunited" achievement, pick the
hide option -- it's the only way to get it.) Nate, the driver, will remember
whether Russell gets smart about his name or not. Regardless of any creepy
vibes this guy has, Russell always ends up taking a ride.
After some amusing small talk, the team will pull into a gas station. Answer
any way to Nate's goad, then sprint to the truck (which Russ foolishly ran
away from originally) for cover. Peek to spy the shooter, then push the truck
in a QE event. Russ will get the option to cover Nate first or run to the
red car first; the choice will be noted, but doesn't matter much. Choose to
fire on the sniper when given the option (it's available sooner or later).
Once the team flanks the station, it's time to hop the back fence and sneak
into the kitchen. Peek over the serving counter, then prepare to take the
gunman unawares (done by holding left-click button and slowly moving up).
Either way, Nate and Russ will find two NPCs, leading to the chapter's major
decision: executing them or leaving 'em alone.
BONNIE
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Days In ---: 220
Achievement: Who Goes There?
Bonnie starts the chapter in the woods with Leland, one of her companions.
Get through the dialogue (probably the only time flirting involves "lobster
hands"...) until Leland's true feelings start coming to the surface. Whether
Bonnie accepts or rejects ("slow down") his advances will be remembered. Dee,
Leland's wife, eventually returns and the woodland trek begins.
En route, a husband-wife spat will take place. Try to warn them about keeping
voices down until karma steps in to teach a lesson. Continue running to slide
down an embankment, and in a few more moments, attack a crawling zombie. (It's
the same one from Russell's chapter, apparently. The prison bus from Vince's
chapter seems to be nearby, too.)
Taking refuge in the cornfield turns out to be a mixed blessing: vision is
impaired, making proceeding rather hard. This starts a small minigame where
Bonnie has to avoid flashlight-wielding gunmen. To win, keep advancing (to
background) and switch rows (left or right) when an assailant's beam points
straight down the row. Getting caught earns a game over, while success will
lead to a small clearing with a tractor.
Unearth some rebar by wiggling it back and forth (requires holding left-click
down) and prepare to attack whoever's approaching. Although Bonnie soon comes
to regret this act, note that failure to strike will lead to a game over, too,
so her hands are tied. Reply in any form until Leland arrives, setting the
stage for the chapter's major decision: truthfully/deceitfully informing him.
SHEL
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Days in ---: 236-259
Achievement: Paradise Lost
As the chapter dawns, we find Shel, her sister Becca, survivor Steph and
group leader Roman enjoying a guitar performance. After, Becca will want to
handle the gun inspection -- she'll remember whether Shel trusts her with it
or not. There's plenty to inspect here, but the main goal is visiting the back
lot, through the kitchen and pantry.
The watchdog (who may or may not be familiar) will be fed on arrival, and
Roman will suggest letting Becca handle this work. He'll remember whether
Shel's up for it or wants to shelter her. Check the far walker, walk back
inside for a faux scare (respond in any fashion), then move to the station's
front.
Roman will have apparently caught a thief and wants to execute him for the
good of the group. The first major decision Shel's faced with is siding with,
or against, the leader. Becca will remember her sister's choice here, both
with her initial assessment and where her swing vote lies. (If the man is set
loose, Boyd will end up dying in the interim period coming up.)
With the decision over, fast forward three weeks to a strenous game of Go
Fish (which Shel can cheat at, oddly 'nough). Roman will want to have a talk
about the latest thief; he's across the parking lot. This mounts the 2nd major
decision Shel makes: to execute the accused or flee the encampment. To do the
latter, grab the keys from the counter instead of the piece. Becca, who is
opposed to fleeing, will remember the decision.
TAVIA
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Days In ---: 400
Achievement: Loose Ends
This chapter automatically starts once everyone else's is over. Tavia, a
survivor from a larger camp, will stumble upon the DLC's main survivors and
invite them back. (Some of the choices made, like Bonnie lying, will have been
made known in the last 100+ days, so they do have an effect at this point.)
Whether a survivor accompanies Tavia depends largely on how their chapter
went (the exception is Bonnie, who always leaves camp). Some replies may also
encourage people to leave, such as talking about finding missing friends (if
Wyatt was stranded by Eddie).
- Vince leaves camp if he saved Justin
- Bonnie leaves camp
- Wyatt leaves camp if he left in the car
- Russell is always skeptical, so Tavia's choices may sway him
- Shel & Becca leave camp if they fled the station in the RV
As for the general recap:
- Vince's Chapter: most players shoot Justin's foot
- Wyatt's Chapter: half the players end up staying (makes sense, actually)
- Russell's Chapter: most players leave Nate
- Bonnie's Chapter: most players lie
- Shel's Chapter: most players leave in the RV

V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQZ]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[Q] - Do the choices impact Season 2?
[A] - Some do. When you start a new Season 2 save, the program will search
for Season 1 saves, if any. Should a save be found, but it isn't fully
complete (ex: up to Chapter 3), then the game fills in the rest of the
blanks.
[Q] - Should I get 400 Days?
[A] - As a standalone? Well, if one likes the first season and may get the
others, I guess it can't hurt. However, after seeing how the characters
were utilized in Season 2, I would probably recommend against it. It's
mostly unfulfilled potential at this point. Perhaps Season 3 will make
good on it.
[Q] - Will these games spoil the TV series? I haven't watched it yet!
[A] - A few characters from the show do exist in the game (Glenn and Hershel,
notably) but the game follows a completely different plot, so it won't
give away any show twists. However, there is one chunk of knowledge
learned in the 2nd chapter that people in the show only learn at the
end of the second season. Keep that in mind.
[Q] - Are there any references to the Walking Dead show?
[A] - A couple, probably more for the comics (haven't read 'em). One notable
thing is the RV with its screwy radiator hose, which plays a part in
"Long Road Ahead" and the show's second season.
[Q] - I try to load my save, it asks me to rewind and it glitches...?
[A] - I've seen this myself. You'll try to load a save, starting at the
continuing chapter, then after picking to (not) rewind, the game just
hangs. Sometimes it may even "load" so the inventory bar is seen, but
the screen's still black. As far as I know, this is mostly a between-
-chapter problem. Going back to the previous chapter and rewinding to
the last-played subchapter usually fixes everything.
[Q] - When I load up the game, none of my saves have...err, saved!
[A] - This has also happened to me. After looking around, it seems the culprit
may be the prefs.prop file, which exists in two places. Copying the one
in...
/My Documents/Telltale Games/Walking Dead
...to the one in...
Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/The Walking Dead/Pack/Default
...may solve things. At least it did for me. Just make sure to do it in
the right order; otherwise, things may be even more screwy! (Of course,
people using Macs and whatnot may have different file paths, so that's
where google comes in, eh?)
