You will spend most of the game time on talking to other people. In the vast majority of cases you will need to choose any of the answers before the time runs out (although you can simply pause the game and choose without having to hurry). If the time runs out, the "silence" option is selected automatically. From time to time there are situations when there is no time limit. The game will not continue until you select one of the responses.

You can choose to be silent yourself - it's as equally right choice as any other, and sometimes it is the best one, tough rarely (it does not matter whether you are waiting till the time runs out or choose the "..." option). If you do not want to remain silent, choose one of the other answers. In most cases, it does not matter what you choose - at the most, the character you are talking to will give you a different answer, but it will not affect his or her future behavior.

After selecting such a response the game will notify you about it (if you enabled the appropriate option in the game settings, the default notifications are on). There are also responses after which you will not see any notification. Nevertheless, they will affect what a character will say or do later in the game.

Sometimes you will have to - speaking quite literally - "use an item on a person". There are two possibilities. You can either start a conversation and choose the right topic, or you can select an appropriate icon and point the character.

These are the moments in the game where you can die. If it does come to that, you will start the game with a save you made earlier. The beginning of a PE has been marked with the line [PANIC EVENT - START], and its end - [PANIC EVENT - END]. During the panic event action you need to perform some actions. It can be:

⮚ pressing the button shown on the screen as quickly as possible

⮚ pressing the button shown on the screen as quickly as possible and then pressing the next one once

⮚ hitting or shooting - a red crosshair will appear

⮚ any other form of interaction, including both hitting/punching and shooting, but not only - for example, taking the item form someone else's hands, closing the door, etc.

⮚ moving in the right direction (usually moving backwards/pulling back).

There are five tough decisions to take in each episode. Some have an impact on the events that follow, that is why, it is worth to think twice before taking them. Most of the time you also need to do it very quickly.

Remember that sometimes your decision will not change certain events - a character that is destined to die, will die anyway. Still, you can try to save him/her or not, or save someone else and this will have an impact on other characters' behavior and attitude towards you.

Tough choices have been presented in the guide with the lines [TOUGH DECISION]. At the end of each episode of your decisions will be recapitulated. You will be able to see how they compare to the choices of other players.

It should also be added that, unlike in most games, there are no "good" and "bad" choices. It rather depends on the kind of relationship you want to have with other characters. Having a good relationship with one character often means sacrificing the relationship with the other character. You should know that it is impossible to live in harmony with everyone in the game.

Upon meeting two new survivors, Omid and Christa, they agree to help the group clear the way for the train, and not a moment to soon as the group is about to be overrun by a herd of walkers.

Upon escaping the basement, the group makes their way back to the house to find that Vernon has taken the boat (there are options to this depending on what was decided at the end of Episode 4). While they are talking, the backyard starts to get overrun so the group fends them off then retreats into the attic. While everyone is barricaded in there, Clementine's voice is heard over the walkie talkie and Lee deduces that she is being held at the hotel where her parents were staying at on their trip. It is decided that it is best to travel across the rooftops to find this hotel. Finally breaking through the outer wall, the group travels across the rooftops. Along the way, Kenny is lost to an undetermined fate (depending if Ben is still with you or not).

Complete The Final Season Episode 1

Story-related; cannot be missed.

Episode 1 gets you reacquainted with the story and characters, and introduces you to some new faces. You'll also quickly learn about the "free combat" in this season: unlike all other seasons, where combat is scripted as part of quick-time events, the combat in this game is open in the sense that you can walk around and choose to attack and dodge to kill zombies. It can be a bit awkward at first, but remember to try to keep the zombies on the same side of you so you don't get surrounded.

The beginning of the episode features some of the new combat and a lot of dialogue, but you'll also eventually head outside to fight off some walkers around trees. This part can be a little frustrating, but remember to make good use of the traps located on each of the four trees. Lure a walker toward one and activate it for an instant kill. If you don't use the traps and walkers are grouped up, it's a good idea to stun one (or more) and leave one standing. Lure this one away from the others so you can kill it without getting grabbed by the other walkers. Repeat this process on the group until they're all dead.

The rest of the episode consists of dialogue or some simple action bits until the episode eventually ends.

Complete The Final Season Episode 2

Story-related; cannot be missed.

The majority of this episode is dialogue with some action interspersed in between. The end of the episode concludes with a huge fight. This fight introduces you to using your bow and arrows in open combat. Arrow drop is present in this game, so if you're shooting long distances at walkers, make sure you compensate by aiming above the walker you're shooting at. You'll have to fight off a couple waves, but there is thankfully an auto-save in between the waves. After the fight concludes, the episode will end.

Complete Season 4 Episode 3

Story-related; cannot be missed.

This episode contains quite a bit of intense dialogue and action. One particular item of note is that during the beginning of the episode when you perform an interrogation, there is a series of dialogue choices that can be made to obtain a password that'll help avoid a fight sequence later in the episode. There are multiple avenues through the interrogation dialogue to obtain the password, but these are the choices I made:

[Shout at Abel]
[Let Abel drink]
"They've abandoned you"
"♥♥♥♥ your war"
[Let him smoke] (click on his chest)
"I hope so"
[Let him sweat]
"You'll know soon enough"

This will result in him revealing the password. Make a mental note of it for use later when you're on the boat.

Much of the rest of the episode is action, but you should be relatively comfortable with the combat at this point. The episode eventually winds down with a big surprise before concluding.

Complete The Final Season Episode 4

Story-related; cannot be missed.

The final episode consists of mostly intense action sequences and some emotional dialogue and situations, as could be expected. There isn't anything that needs explaining in this episode, so sit back and enjoy the finale to this series.
