Walkers as shields (SPOILERS) sorry can't be avoided...

[Krayts]

Ok, i've tried this many times. Anyone else struggling with getting to the boat? All the walkers end up dead before I'm even close so I have no cover and get shot. OR I run past a few and try to use the frontal ones, BUT it doesn't let me use them as shields when I am right behind them. Am I doing something wrong here or is this a problem for all?

I only failed once here because I wasn’t using the walkers wisely. You should use the walkers walking from the back first and not avoid them but also if the walkers walk too far away from you, they will be gone faster so it’s better to move upwards towards the lights, only if there is a walker that can shield you. You get towards the front faster this way, I think.

I think it's bugged. I am directly behind the walker and no Q pops up, so I can't use it to shield myself.

[Krayts]

Hmm I have been trying that, though I end up having no cover after I've used the walking from the back as the sniper kills them all. I will keep trying, thanks!

Yeah same!

If it doesn’t work, you can try moving towards the next set of walkers but I guess not too far ahead. If the button prompts do not pop up then there is a possibility that it’s a glitch.

stick to the right side, more walkers come from the woods on the right

yeah i failed the mission like 5 times, its plain stupid how the mission was designed.

you cant run to a walker that is a bit far, the light point and they kill the walker and you because the Q quick time event didnt show up, is so stupid.

after a lot of tries I didnt run and even use S to go backward of a walker that you didnt see.

You only need to "survive" for a specific time until a cinematic start. awful mission design.


the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ happen when james ask you to not kill the walkers. if you walk a bit faster and knock down every walker with kicks on the knee you get trapped with "invisible walls" on a forest and the walkers eat you.

a lot of missions looks like bad designed or rushed.

It works fine, you just need strategy. Use the right side walkers first then slowly move left as the walker numbers deplete. You need to use the walkers for cover 4 times as you move right to left until the horses have been set free.

Took me a few tries to succeed too, it's definitely not very intuitive. The goal is actually not to reach the boat (you always get shot) but to get close and then hide behind a walker, triggering a cut scene allowing the game to move forward.

there is no strategy. stop defending stupid bad and broken designs to looks smart.
if you go faster to a walker right next to you the Q button never show up, that is a broken mechanic.

Definately bugged then as I get no prompt to shield so far down the path. Did not know it was timed though, that is good to know. I thought you had to run to one of the sides where the torches are.

Yeah I died a few times aswell. I just stuck to the back on the 3rd try and was able to make it

[Krayts]

Got through it finally, ended up being easy if you don't think your goal is getting to the boat. lmao thanks for all the advice!

One of the walkers are bugged.

did they not playtest this at all? the natural assumption is that the goal is to get on the boat, not that you just need to survive for some arbitrary time limit. if you try to run for the boat you will always die and the walkers towards the front don't even give you the option to shield with them. if they can't design a section like this in a logical way they should've just stuck to nothing but QTE's in the first place.
