Chapter 4: Rock and a Hard Place - Arriving at the farm | Episode I: A New Day The Walking Dead Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Watch the cutscene. The chapter will start up with a conversation with Hershel Greene. In some cases, your answers are of importance, however little. Have a look at the tables below for details. It is worth adding that Shawn will introduce you as the person you chose to be at when you first met him, namely that you are a neighbor, or Clementine's babysitter, or a good Samaritan or just an ordinary guy.

1. "What did you say your name was?"

(1): Doesn't matter.	Hershel will remember that.
(2): It's Lee.	Hershel knows your name.
(3): I didn't..	Hershel will remember that / pick again.
(4): ...	Hershel will remember that.

If you do not introduce yourself immediately, it will negatively affect Hershel's attitude towards you.

2. "How'd this happen?"

(1): I don't remember.	You didn't answer his question.
(2): Jumping a fence.	Hershel doubts you.
(3): Car accident.	Hershel made note of that.
(4): I fell.	-
(5): ...	You didn't answer his question.

If you reply according to the truth ("Car accident."), you will get another question (the answer is not important, as being honest is what matters for Hershel), and then another one:

3. "Who were you with? The girl?"

(1): A Police Officer.	Hershel believes you.
(2): Nobody.	Hershel will definitely remember that.
(3): ...	Hershel will definitely remember that.

If you didn't tell Hershel about the accident, you will receive an additional question about the dangers you and your young companion have come across up till now. The answer is irrelevant.

If you set off during the night and if Chet is dead, Hershel will completely agree with his son on the matter of fortifying the fence. However, if you set off during the day (and Chet is alive), Hershel will have some doubts. This results in two additional questions, but your answers will not matter anyway.

Finally, Hershel will show you the barn where you and Clementine can rest. What remains is to have the last conversation with Clementine (she will remember what you said), and then you'll both fall asleep.

You'll be woken up by Kenny. Talk to him and then select any answers you like. When you regain the control of your character, you will need to get to know all the newly met characters better. Start with Katjaa - of course, you can ask more than one question (ask them one by one).

4. "Hey there, girls."

(1): You two actually look relaxed.	You learned Clementine is a first grader.
(2): What do you do?	You learned Katjaa is a veterinarian (see 4b).
(3): How was the city?	Leads to another set of dialog (see 4a).
(4): Exit.	End conversation.

If you ask Katjaa about her profession, she will ask you about the same thing, too.

4a. "What is that you do, Lee?"

(1): No, I USED to.	Katjaa learned you were fired.
(2): My mistake.	-

If you ask Katjaa about the town, she will ask you whether you would like everything to be as it was before, that is, before the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse.

4b. "Don't you want to go back to..."

(1): Things happen for a reason.	Katjaa will remember that.
(2): Was bad before.	Katjaa will remember that.
(3): Who wouldn't?	-
(4): ....	-

You can also ask Clementine if everything's fine.

Next, go right, to Kenny, who's working on his car, and start the conversation.

5. "Hey there, uh, Kenny."

(1): How's your son doing?	You showed in interest in his family.
(2): What's your plan?	You learned about Kenny's boat.
(3): Need any help?	Leads to another set of dialog (see 5a).
(4): Exit.	End of conversation.

5a. "You got kids of your own?"

(1): I have no idea.	Kenny learned something about you.
(2): No kids.	Kenny learned something about you.
(3): I'm ok.	Kenny learned something about you.
(4): ...	Kenny noticed your silence.
