Episode 1 Faith Guide
A story-focused The Wolf Among Us Remastered episode 1 walkthrough covering Faith, key choices, crime-scene clues, and the Woodsman arrest.
Episode 1 Faith at a Glance
A dead fable, a drunk Woodsman, and a sheriff trying to keep his temper in check: that is the pressure cooker at the heart of this The Wolf Among Us Remastered episode 1 walkthrough. The episode matters because Bigby’s first major case sets the tone for every later choice, from how he treats Toad to whether he plays the lawman or the monster. This The Wolf Among Us Remastered episode 1 walkthrough keeps the route practical: what to inspect, when to push, and where the story turns.
| Beat | What happens | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Opening disturbance | Toad is out of glamour; the Woodsman escalates a confrontation | Learn Toad’s problem, then control the fight |
| Crime scene | Faith’s body is found outside the Woodlands | Inspect the ribbon, blood, fence, and body placement |
| Business office | Crane demands answers; Snow needs a calm report | Stay factual and avoid weak accusations |
| Book of Fables | Faith is identified as Donkey Skin | Use the books, then the mirror |
| Toad’s apartment | Toad lies about a break-in; a coat hides an envelope | Press the evidence, not the man |
| Prince Lawrence | His apartment yields a gun, note, and pills | Search before the alley confrontation |
| Trip Trap | The Woodsman is cornered | Hear his account and make the arrest |
The safest way to play Faith is to treat each location as a small investigation. Talk to everyone, but trust the evidence more than the first story you hear. The episode is less about perfect combat and more about whether you notice the contradictions before the scene moves on.
Opening Brawl and Crime Scene
A practical The Wolf Among Us Remastered episode 1 walkthrough has to start with the opening disturbance, because it introduces Toad, the Woodsman, and the woman whose death drives the case. Start with Toad. He is out of glamour, and his panic is real, but the rule is simple: fables who cannot pass as human risk being sent to the farm. Hear him out, then remind him to fix the problem. Do not spend the whole conversation threatening him; you need his cooperation later. When the Woodsman refuses to calm down, stay with the opening confrontation and use the dialogue prompts to keep control of the room. Bigby can take a hit, but the scene goes smoother if you commit to the prompts instead of backing off.
| Moment | Recommended choice | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Toad’s glamour problem | Hear him out, then hold the rule | Keeps the conversation moving; Toad remains a useful contact |
| Woodsman’s rant | Stay calm, then answer force with force | The brawl escalates either way, so commit to the prompts |
| The woman’s name | Ask, but do not press when she deflects | She agrees to meet later and give a statement |
| Woodsman’s exit | Do not let him walk | The fight ends with a window exit and damage to Toad’s car |
At the Woodlands, the body is staged. Snow found the victim and called Bigby; Crane will want a name and a suspect, but the scene gives you neither at first. Inspect every hotspot before leaving. The episode uses the placement of the body, the strange cut, and the blood trail to signal that this was not a random dump. The Wolf Among Us Remastered episode 1 walkthrough does not require you to catch every hotspot, but the ribbon and blood trail are the ones that matter most.
| Clue | Location | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Ribbon with a symbol | Near the body | Neither Bigby nor Snow recognizes the mark; it looks like a signature |
| Blood drops | Fence and ground | The trail is still wet, suggesting the killer left recently |
| Fence damage | Alley edge | Someone may have jumped or caught clothing while leaving |
| Loose trash | Around the scene | Searchable, but low-value compared with blood and ribbon |
| Body placement | Exact position | The victim was placed to be found, not hidden |
Before you leave, ask Snow what she touched and who else knew. The scene is time-limited, so prioritize the ribbon, the blood, and the body placement. Those details carry into the business office and help you explain why this is a message rather than a simple murder.
Business Office, Books, and Mirror
Your The Wolf Among Us Remastered episode 1 walkthrough reaches its first political test at the business office. Crane is acting mayor while King Cole is away, and he wants the problem contained. Snow needs a calm report; Bigby needs room to work. The meeting goes better if you keep the report factual and avoid turning a suspicion into an accusation. Crane is already looking for someone to blame, and he will use any weak lead to discredit the investigation.
| Choice | Recommended move | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Opening report | State what you know and what you do not | Vague answers let Crane blame Bigby and Snow |
| Bluebeard | Do not lead with him | Crane says Bluebeard is abroad; the accusation goes nowhere |
| Snow’s role | Let her explain how the body was found | She called it in and can account for the scene |
| Next step | Ask for the books and mirror access | The victim’s identity is the strongest lead |
Use the Book of Fables to identify the victim, then use the mirror only after you have a name. The mirror is literal: it needs a named fable, and it will not reveal Faith’s location. That dead end is useful because it pushes you toward Prince Lawrence.
| Request | Result | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Ask about the victim without a name | Refused | Identify her in the books first |
| Show Faith | Location concealed | Go to her husband |
| Show Prince Lawrence | Yellow building, red shutters, South Bronx | Next destination |
| Show the Woodsman | Street scene, not exact address | Toad’s call becomes the better lead |
| Book entry | What you learn | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Faith / Donkey Skin | Real name Faith; husband Prince Lawrence | Gives you the next witness |
| Woodsman | Connected to Red Riding Hood and the axe | Foreshadows the bar confrontation |
| Bluebeard | A file exists, but no proof | Suspicion only; do not treat it as evidence |
The book entry for Faith is the key unlock. It gives you her real name, her story, and her husband. Once you have that, the mirror can point you to Lawrence’s apartment. Do not waste time asking the mirror about the victim before the books give you a name; it will refuse.
Toad’s Apartment and Prince Lawrence
The Wolf Among Us Remastered episode 1 walkthrough shifts from politics to pressure when Toad calls about an intruder. The scene plays like a small break-in, but Toad’s first version of events does not hold up. He says he cut himself on the poker, then changes the story; he says the lock has been broken for weeks, but the damage looks fresh. Treat the apartment as a contradiction puzzle. The goal is not to bully Toad; it is to make him understand that the truth is safer than another lie.
| Clue | Toad’s story | What the scene shows |
|---|---|---|
| Cut on hand | Poked the coals and slipped | Blood on the poker and a story that changes under pressure |
| Broken lamp | Fell off the table | A clean ring in the dust shows it was moved |
| Busted lock | Broken for weeks | Fresh damage suggests a forced entry |
| Window sill | Climbed in after forgetting keys | Marks do not fit the timing he gives |
| Coat | Borrowed or repossessed | An envelope addressed to Prince Lawrence |
Once you press the physical evidence, Toad admits an intruder was there looking for something the Woodsman had. The man threatened Toad’s son, which explains the lies. The coat yields an envelope for Prince Lawrence. That envelope is your bridge to the next scene, and it is worth carrying forward rather than treating the apartment as a side stop.
Prince Lawrence’s apartment is the episode’s quiet gut punch. Search the room before you focus on the body. The gun, the angle through the chair, the prescription sleeping pills, and the note all point to an apparent suicide, but the note also ties back to Faith. The letter from Toad’s coat adds another layer. Opening it is a personal choice; reading it gives you context, but it will not undo the scene.
| Evidence | What it suggests | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Gun and chair angle | Apparent suicide | Inspect the chair before leaving |
| Sleeping pills | Lawrence was under strain | Supports the note’s context |
| Note to Faith | Apology and finality | Read it for closure, not a new lead |
| Envelope from coat | Personal correspondence | Open it if you want the full picture |
| Dusty books and fingerprints | Optional detail | Search after the main clues |
After the apartment, an assailant jumps Bigby in the alley. The fight is short, but the man mentions the Trip Trap and the Woodsman. That name is the lead you need. Get up, regroup with Snow, and head to the bar. The episode is done hiding the Woodsman.
Trip Trap Finale and Arrest
This The Wolf Among Us Remastered episode 1 walkthrough ends where the case began: with the Woodsman. The Trip Trap is hostile before you say a word. The patrons know Bigby, and they resent the idea that the Woodlands only sends the sheriff when its own people are threatened. Keep your answers short. Do not turn a bar full of angry fables into a second brawl if you can avoid it. The Woodsman is the target; everyone else is noise.
| Moment | Recommended approach | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Entering the bar | Ask for the Woodsman and ignore the taunts | The crowd is already tense; a direct accusation makes it worse |
| Woodsman’s story | Let him talk about Red Riding Hood | He reveals his motive and undercuts his own hero story |
| The fight | Commit to prompts and keep pressure on | The scene turns violent once the truth comes out |
| The arrest | Bring him in if he yields | He is the episode’s main suspect and lead |
The Woodsman’s account is the episode’s biggest reframe. He says he went to rob Faith, found Bigby already there in the Red Riding Hood situation, and saved the girl only because he hoped for a reward. The hero story was a cover. That does not automatically make him Faith’s killer, but it makes him the right person to bring in. The episode ends with the arrest and a lot of unanswered questions.
| Before the episode closes | Check |
|---|---|
| Faith identified | Book of Fables entry read |
| Prince Lawrence visited | Apartment searched and note read |
| Toad’s envelope collected | Coat checked |
| Woodsman confronted | Trip Trap scene completed |
| Arrest made | Woodsman in custody |
