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.

BeatWhat happensPriority
Opening disturbanceToad is out of glamour; the Woodsman escalates a confrontationLearn Toad’s problem, then control the fight
Crime sceneFaith’s body is found outside the WoodlandsInspect the ribbon, blood, fence, and body placement
Business officeCrane demands answers; Snow needs a calm reportStay factual and avoid weak accusations
Book of FablesFaith is identified as Donkey SkinUse the books, then the mirror
Toad’s apartmentToad lies about a break-in; a coat hides an envelopePress the evidence, not the man
Prince LawrenceHis apartment yields a gun, note, and pillsSearch before the alley confrontation
Trip TrapThe Woodsman is corneredHear 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.

MomentRecommended choiceWhat it changes
Toad’s glamour problemHear him out, then hold the ruleKeeps the conversation moving; Toad remains a useful contact
Woodsman’s rantStay calm, then answer force with forceThe brawl escalates either way, so commit to the prompts
The woman’s nameAsk, but do not press when she deflectsShe agrees to meet later and give a statement
Woodsman’s exitDo not let him walkThe 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.

ClueLocationWhy it matters
Ribbon with a symbolNear the bodyNeither Bigby nor Snow recognizes the mark; it looks like a signature
Blood dropsFence and groundThe trail is still wet, suggesting the killer left recently
Fence damageAlley edgeSomeone may have jumped or caught clothing while leaving
Loose trashAround the sceneSearchable, but low-value compared with blood and ribbon
Body placementExact positionThe 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.

ChoiceRecommended moveWhy
Opening reportState what you know and what you do notVague answers let Crane blame Bigby and Snow
BluebeardDo not lead with himCrane says Bluebeard is abroad; the accusation goes nowhere
Snow’s roleLet her explain how the body was foundShe called it in and can account for the scene
Next stepAsk for the books and mirror accessThe 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.

RequestResultFollow-up
Ask about the victim without a nameRefusedIdentify her in the books first
Show FaithLocation concealedGo to her husband

Faith / Donkey SkinReal name Faith; husband Prince LawrenceGives you the next witness
WoodsmanConnected to Red Riding Hood and the axeForeshadows the bar confrontation
BluebeardA file exists, but no proofSuspicion 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.

ClueToad’s storyWhat the scene shows
Cut on handPoked the coals and slippedBlood on the poker and a story that changes under pressure
Broken lampFell off the tableA clean ring in the dust shows it was moved
Busted lockBroken for weeksFresh damage suggests a forced entry
Window sillClimbed in after forgetting keysMarks do not fit the timing he gives
CoatBorrowed or repossessedAn 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.

EvidenceWhat it suggestsPractical tip
Gun and chair angleApparent suicideInspect the chair before leaving
Sleeping pillsLawrence was under strainSupports the note’s context
Note to FaithApology and finalityRead it for closure, not a new lead
Envelope from coatPersonal correspondenceOpen it if you want the full picture
Dusty books and fingerprintsOptional detailSearch 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.

MomentRecommended approachWhy
Entering the barAsk for the Woodsman and ignore the tauntsThe crowd is already tense; a direct accusation makes it worse
Woodsman’s storyLet him talk about Red Riding HoodHe reveals his motive and undercuts his own hero story
The fightCommit to prompts and keep pressure onThe scene turns violent once the truth comes out
The arrestBring him in if he yieldsHe 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.
