9 Heart-Wrenching Moments in Telltale’s The Walking Dead that Still Have Us Messed Up

Season 2: Clementine and the Dog

The Most Heart-Wrenching Telltale Walking Dead Moments

Honestly, Clementine’s entire opening sequence in season 2 of Telltale’s The Walking Dead was pretty depressing. First, you’re forced to watch her relationship with Christa deteriorate (baby bump is gone with no baby in sight, awkward). Then, left to fend for herself, she thinks she catches a break when a nice little doggy comes to say hello. At first, it seems like it’s going to be a cute pup that joins Clementine on her journey, maybe even rescues her out of some trouble, but nope. As soon as it realizes it isn’t getting the cut it was expecting from the canned food that Clementine found, it rips a chunk out of Clem instead, and this is what kicks off the event that leads her to join up with the cabin group.

Season 2: Sarah’s Death

A lot of people found Sarah to be irritating, similar to Duck in season 1. Me though, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for this poor, sheltered girl, that clearly wasn’t socially developed yet and was very emotional young, being chewed up (literally) and spit out by this harsh world. She gets by, at least until the death of her father, a good man who at least tried to treat both Sarah and Clementine well.

Clementine and the cabin crew try their best to prepare, protect, and give Sarah a chance to survive. However, when she is tested, regardless of what the player tries to do to help her, she fails, and fails hard.

Season 2: Leaving Kenny Behind

The Most Heart-Wrenching Telltale Walking Dead Moments

Walking Dead Season 2, saddest moments, gaming

This one is determinant and if you chose Jane in the final action-packed scenes of season 2, that you would miss out on this one. Which, to be fair, if you chose to help Jane, not Kenny, then saying goodbye to Kenny probably wouldn’t do anything for you anyway. BUT, if you are pro Kenny, then the last moments of season 2 are absolutely brutal.

Once again, Clementine is put in a situation where she has to say goodbye to someone she trusts, someone she views as a protector and father figure. She can choose to stay with Kenny, but it’s heavily against his wishes, and definitely not in the best interest of A.J., the child of Rebecca that Clementine has effectively adopted.

If you do indeed choose to take shelter with A.J. and leave Kenny, behind you’re rewarded by getting to see Kenny, distraught (but proud), say tearful goodbyes to Clementine as he walks off, alone, into the wilderness, never to be seen again…
