10 Unforgettable Moments From Telltale’s The Walking Dead
Killing Duck
Going into The Walking Dead, players knew that the game would be dark. Few, however, were prepared for the gut wrenching magnitude of Duck’s death in the first season.
Suffering a bite in an escape from their breached settlement, Duck’s condition quickly deteriorates as the group makes their way toward safety. Before long, it becomes clear he won’t make it, forcing the group to stop and put him out of his misery.
Katjaa offers to do it, taking him into the woods on the side of the road, but after a gunshot rings out Lee and Kenny find her dead by her own hands.
Grief stricken, Kenny begs Lee to kill Duck for him, unable to be responsible for the death of his son so soon after losing his wife.
As Duck wheezes and fades, just barely on the verge of turning, Lee pulls the trigger, and players are finally aware of just how dire the game’s world is.
