Important choices | Episode 5 The Walking Dead - A New Frontier Guide
Last update: 27 June 2017
In this chapter you will find all important choices available in Epizode 5.
Choice #1
The first major choice takes place at the beginning of the third chapter. Javier can choose to be back on friendly terms with David, or decide to keep to his own company.
- I'm not doing that - You've decided to stay back. David will take it as an offense, which ends in hostile remarks throughout the whole episode. Moreover, you won't be able to save him in the final scenes of the episode.
- Stand with David - You've taken a step forward and joined David. Your relationship will be rekindled, enabling you to achieve an ending in which David survives.
Notes: Choose to stand with David if you want to save him later on.
Choice #2
This choice takes form of an argument between David and Javier at the end of chapter three. Dave will confront you regarding your relationship with Kate. You can choose to reveal your relationship, pretend that there is nothing going on (David will confront you if you are lying), or attempt to explain the affair to David.
Notes: Every choice is viable and will solve the problem but the chosen approach will affect Kate's attitude in the epilogue, provided the woman survives the episode.
Choice #3
The third major choice, thrown at you moments after the one above. David will attack you, forcing you to decide whether you want to fight back or try to get through to him. You'll be left with the same choice three times in a row.
- I love you - In this case, Javier will profess his feelings for his brother and won't agree to fight him. This approach can lead to an ending where, for example, both David and Gabe manage to survive.
- Fight back - Javier will fight back, starting a full-on battle between brothers. Even if you follow David, he won't survive the scene.
Note: You need be a pacifist if David is to survive the episode.
Choice #4
The fourth choice is a summary of your previous actions, and involves Clementine your standing with her. Clementine will make a decision to stay with Kate or follow Gabe. Everything depends on how your decisions (direct or indirect) have affected her.
Note: ... and this creates an interesting situation. Clementine will embark to save either Gabe or David. If you want to reach an ending where Gabe survives, you need to distance yourself from the girl. However, staying close to Clementine and keeping good relations with David will result in a situation where Clem manages to save David.
Choice #5
The final choice takes place at the end of the third chapter. You need to choose whether to help Kate or go after Gabe and David.
- Help Kate and Richmond - You've decided to follow Kate and save Richmond from the undead. Kate will survive the episode.
- Go after Gabe and David - Unfortunately, only one of them will survive. The question who is determined by a number of decisions undertaken in the course of this episode. The only way to save Gabe is to have Clementine with you, while saving David requires you to stay on friendly terms and avoid engaging in any conflicts between the brothers. Unfortunately, choosing family means that Kate won't survive the episode.
