Please Assist-Episode 3

I need help with Episode 3

I began Episode 3 on Standard.

The scene where Clementine and Lee go to the train station.

He puts her through the slot on the top of the locked room.

Then immediately, she looks back and you have a fight with several walkers.

This is too difficult for me.

I've tried it so many times that now Lee just walks out the door but the game still considers him dead and I have to start over again.(probably a glitch)

How do I switch to Easy Mode?

I cannot find anyway to do thhis

There is no easy mode, the game isn't that difficult for most players. You have to grab the wrench below the door and use that to fight.

SteveTheBlocks

you pick up the wrench you propped the door with.

Zeruis

Okay. If you are playing on the pc version, back up to the door where you put that train tool. When looking at it, press "2" to pick it up. From there, smash the walkers. Hope this helps.

You have to pick up the wrench you used to prop open the door. Just walkbackwards until the hand icon pops up when your cursor hovers over the wrench. Then, scroll with the mousewheel to select the use icon and pick up the wrench. After that you hit one of the walkers, grapple with the other and you're right as rain.

I had plenty of trouble with this part as well, as punching one of the walkers or selecting the look action on the wrench causes you to be killed by them.

Make sure you're moving as quickly as you can to the door. Your mission, should you be awesome enough to accept it, is to get close enough to pick up the tool you used to prop the door open. I think you may have to scroll through options in order to pick it up. It's pretty much clear sailing from there.

If you've got the PC version, that scene's one of the few where the game doesn't automatically select the more active option (pick up instead of look), and you have to press 2 or scroll with the mouse wheel to pick up the wrench.

Ok I'm using the W key backwards and then pressing 2

This is not working

Episode 1 and Episode 2 were really fun

This is not fun. In fact it is not pleasant at all.

I've repeated this at least 50 times

Something is badly wrong here

I want O-U-T of this mess


Is this some kind of a "perfectly timed" computer key press rubbish?

It would seem highly unlikely for such a simplistic game as this

Xarne

As soon as you have control of Lee, hit W until your mouse gives you the hand option over the wrench, pick it up and bash them.
Or just box with them a little. There is no timing needed but you do have limited time to get the wrench in hand

ellakizz

I had that problem the first time I played the episode as well, you just have to use your mouse scroll as you would with a conversation to pick the wrench.

This part can be difficult.

1) Back up away from the two zombies using the "W" key. Don't bother punching them.
2) When in range of the wrench, cursor over it.
3) Two options: Scroll your mouse wheel up or hit "2" on your keyboard.
4) Click on the wrench.
5) Bash zombie skulls.

Master of Aeons

Can anyone tell me how many times this "switch verb" mechanic is used in the game? (So far, at least.) It seems like a distant call back.

Hi Ellen,

You are right. It was difficult. Thank you Zeruis for the tip. Everything happens so fast and my screen resolution at full screen kept minimizing in full mode that it was difficult to see. I had to change my resolution to see everything and then I selected "2" at the end to pick up the wrench. I tried all kinds of different scenarios, but kept getting de-gutted. LOL Thanks again for getting me through that one guys.

cromerman

Thank you Ellenflowers for posting this question.

I was stuck in this same situation until the forum came to the rescue.

I had tried for over your 50 times, more like a 100! (Well, I am 82 years old and my reflexes are not so good now).

Now looking forward to Episode 4.

Love this game.

I needed several times to pass that part, Just get the wrench quickly and strike one by one, Untill They die. That's all I have to say.

bunnyrut

i didn't go for the wrench the first time and tried to fight them off by hand. oops i died.

second time i backed up and grabbed the wrench and chose to hit the zombie on the right because he looked closer. then the other zombie, and it was over.

are you using mouse and keyboard? maybe you want to change the sensitivity of the mouse?

i find that even if i don't select the pick up immediately i still have time to grab the wrench and fend off the zombies, just don't take too long.
