Telltale Games

Bigpsycho · 04/26/2012, 01:19 pm

did it a million times back and forth - i think am not not seeing a point somewhere ...i see the screwdriver but can't get it

Hints:

1. Do something else first. Look around.

2. This car isn't the only one you can sneak up to.

3. There's another one on the left... with an open door...

4. Something on the seat of that car might help you get the screwdriver.

You need to do other things first..

details here-
FirstGet the pillow from around the left side of the wall where you first appeared at the motel

Then-use the pillow on the zombie by the car wheel near the truck. Carley will shoot it through the pillow

Followed by-Grab the spark plug from the car and unlock the gearshift

Afterward-Push the car into the walker against the wall

I'll go on if you need.

Wabbit's are the better hints. Although a bit more than "hints".

I totally forgot about the pillow bit

WabbitTwaks · 04/26/2012, 01:25 pm

Hehe. I like your structure better than mine, Vainamoinen

Yeah I know. hehe. At least I gave it in stages like you though. Even if it was more a walk through than just hints.

Hee-hee... I got stuck here myself, as much as I thought I had looked around I just was not seeing the one thing I needed. I actually stepped away from the game and on the next launch I used the rewind to make sure I hadn't forgotten to bring something from the previous location; it would have surprised me if a Telltale game dead-ended the player old-school style, but I had to check. During the cutscene leading into this sequence, I saw what I needed plain as day and was on my way again.

Just a thought.. I personally think hints shouldn't include what happens when you do something.. just a straight-up list so the player isn't already aware of what this achieves, and hides only the specifics. That way the player isn't forced to know the whole sequence and could possibly achieve it with hints provided without the actual spoilers unless they still don't get it.
Also, I feel they should answer nothing beyond what is asked for... don't spoil the game any further than you need to in-order to help them get there.

Ie- To get the screwdriver:

When faced with an obstacle such as this, there are hints if you talk to the other characters as much as possible. As you noticed, the screwdriver isn't something you can get to until you "do something" first. The biggest issue here is getting something else done first and avoiding noise while you do it.

First: Grab the pillow which is on the ground directly in-front of the wall. It's located at the wall position from where you started the scene.

Next: Get to the truck at the right side of the area, and run at the zombie which is lying against the wheel of the car. Use the pillow to attack it

Next: Talk to Glenn.. he has a suggestion at that point which might be useful.

Next: Inside that car is a Sparkplug you can get by opening the door and taking it

Next: Return to the truck and (talk to Glenn again) then Use the broken sparkplug on that window

Yes, I know I gave away too much information for a "hint". My bad and I apologize. Future hints will be just that, hints not walkthroughs. I am not a hint professional
