Chapter 2: Down By The River | Episode IV: Around Every Corner The Walking Dead Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
During the walk to the river you will be able to talk to Kenny. It does not matter which answer you'll choose in the next four dialogues. When the zombies will pass and you will reach the river, Kenny will remind you of what you said about his plan to look for a boat in the previous chapter. After that you will regain control over Lee. Let's look around.
You can look at the boarded-up windows (Look At: Boards), and also at the Sunken Boat near Kenny, a wreck of a Truck on the right, and a "welcome" Banner on the left. If you go to the background of the screen, towards the newspaper stand, the scene will change. You will be able to look at some strange signs on the house doors (Look At: Markings), a newspaper stand (Look At: Newstand) and the Cash Register.
Go to the left. Lee should automatically comment on the barricade built with the "help" of some zombies, and if he doesn't, you can always look at it (Look At: Barricade), as well as the "material" it is made of (Look At: Walkers). But do not try to shoot at the walkers. Go to the bottom of the screen, that is, down to the river and then go along it, to the left. Keep waking till you get to the telescope. Try to use it (Look Through: Telescope). Unfortunately, you need to insert a coin if you want it to work.
There will be no coins in the cash register (Open: Cash Register). Kenny won't have any either, but he will give you some good advice. Go to the right side of the street, toward the car wrecks you can look at (Look At: Car) (Look At: Trolley). The newspaper dispenser should catch your eye. Try to open it (Open: Newspaper Machine) and when you fail, try to break it using the tool taken from the train (Bash: Newspaper Machine).
Having a coin in your pocket, get back to the telescope and put it inside (Use Quarter On: Telescope). You will be able to see a few things - the river, a building, a bridge ... Look all the way to the left. Lee will notice someone dressed in red that will start climbing down the building on the left. You and Kenny will hide behind the rail.
It does not matter what you'll answer to Kenny. Start walking towards the newspaper stand, and once you're there, lean out up and get ready to act fast.
If you want to beat the stranger, place your cursor on the left side of the screen to block his blow. When she falls, move the cursor somewhere in the middle, to make the counterattack (Counter).
If you fail to block the first or second blow, you'll fall down and be very close to dying. But help is on the way and it will be delivered by ... Clementine. When the moment of silence is over, it does not matter what you'll say to Kenny. After that you will meet Molly. Reply anything and when Molly asks you again if you really aren't from Crawford, see the table below.
1. "You guys aren't really from Crawford, are you?"
(1): What's Crawford? | - |
(2): I don't have to tell you anything. | Molly will remember that. |
(3): I'm from Macon. | - |
(4): ... | - |
Then you will get a list from which you can choose the questions one by one. It's best to answer the first one - "Why no children?" at the end. Ask a question about the ringing of the bells ("Who's been ringing those bells?") and about peeking at you through the fence ("Was that you at our back fence?"). After that ask Clementine what she's doing here ("Clem, what are you doing here?"). Lee will tell Clementine that they didn't need any help. Molly will comment on that if you lost in the fight with her (when Clementine's cry was what really saved you).
Finally, Molly will ask once again who you are. Reply what you want. After a while some zombies will appear and Molly will escape to the side alley. The rest of the characters will follow her. It does not matter what you'll shout. Once more it will be Clementine's request that will save you.
When Kenny and Clementine find themselves upstairs, try to grab Kenny's hand (Grab: Kenny's Hand) or just wait. In the first case you will fall down. You have to find another way. From now on, if you act too slowly, the zombie will get you.
[PANIC EVENT - START]
Quickly move the garbage can in the background (Push: Dumpster). Unfortunately, the second alley exit will also get blocked by the zombies.
The only way out will be the sewer. Try to lift the manhole (Open: Manhole). You won't succeed but Molly will throw her climbing pick down - take it immediately (Pick Up: Climbing Pick) and then pry the Manhole.
Afterwards, keep pressing the button shown on the screen as many times as possible. Lee will open the manhole and jump into the sewer, saving himself from the walkers.
[PANIC EVENT - END]
In this way, you will go to the third chapter.
