Notes

• All screenshots are by HuntingFever.
• Whilst your decisions don't matter where the trophies are concerned, the Guide Author has highlighted the dialogue options that will make the last 3 chapters of Episode 5 a lot easier to finish.
• Credit to MentalMars for explaining how to unlock the hidden characters.
• Whilst it's possible to die in this game, doing so will only set you back to the last auto-save.
• There is no cross-save or auto-pop with any version of this game.
• The save system in this game revolves entirely around auto-saves.
• Whilst most of the QTEs have fixed controls that don't change between playthroughs, some of them are randomised, so they might not match up exactly with what's written in this guide.
• Tales from the Borderlands retcons part of the ending to Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep so the stories don't quite line up.

General Information

• Explaining the convoluted stacks: Before Tales from the Borderlands was temporarily delisted in the wake of TellTale Games going bankrupt, you could platinum it twice by playing the digital PS4 release, plus one of the following: PS3 digital, PS3 retail or PS4 retail but the rights are now wholesale owned by Gearbox so the only available stack is this one, which is obtained by playing either the PS3 Digital, PS3 Retail, PS4 Digital or PS4 Retail releases. When Gearbox and 2K re-released Tales from the Borderlands on the PS4 as a digital-only version, they made the boneheaded decision to use the shared PS3/PS4 list instead of the PS4 digital-only list but according to this thread, there might still be a way of getting this stack if you have access to the German PS Store.
• Patch 2.0 problems (PS4 only): The 2.0 patch that was released shortly before Tales from the Borderlands was re-released has broken several trophies and caused them to either pop early or completely out of sequence so see here for more information. These issues don't seem to affect everyone and might be fixed in the version given away with New Tales from the Borderlands. Also, it appears that either the trophies or the chapters they are attached to are incorrectly coded and appear in the wrong place, e.g. Chapter 4 is called Bro or Bot in the Chapter Select menu but in the trophy list, it's listed as Chapter 6. Whilst the official patch notes don't say what the update does, the Guide Author has discovered the following:
  • The ability to create/link a TellTale Games account has been removed.
  • There is no longer any option to compare your choices with other players either at the end of an episode or via the Extras menu.
  • The initial boot-up screen is different.
  • The in-game store has been removed (at least it has from the retail version).
  • All references to the Season Pass have been removed (at least they have from the retail version).
  • You can no longer link the game to Gearbox's Shift system and unlock bonus items for use in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
  • At least some of the old bugs and glitches have been fixed, e.g. the chronic performance problems during Episode 5.
• Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel bonus items (pre-delisting and pre-patch 2.0 only): Prior to Tales from the Borderlands being delisted and before the 2.0 patch was released, it was possible to unlock bonus items for use in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel if you owned the Tales from the Borderlands Season Pass but the only way to get the guns after October 2018 (since the cosmetics are account bound and can't be traded) is to find someone who is willing to duplicate theirs. If you do happen to have a copy of the PS3 release, there is still a chance you can get the bonus items if you email Gearbox/2K and ask them to remotely unlock them in your Shift account. See here and here for support links.

Glitch Notes (PS4 Only)

• The subtitles are incomplete/have generation errors: The subtitles have an irritating habit of appearing incomplete or even not generating correctly so they end up appearing, disappearing, then reappearing again.
• Graphical corruption/flickering: This doesn't start happening until Episode 4 but very occasionally, part of the screen will glitch out and start flickering for a few seconds.
• Lip sync issues: This is one of the rarer glitches but sometimes the lip syncing will break and go out-of-sync with what's being said at the time.
• Certain QTEs reset/auto-fail when the game is paused: This is easily the most irritating and potentially gamebreaking issue in the game but pausing during certain QTEs (Quick Time Events) will cause them to either reset or automatically fail when you unpause it.
• Frame-rate issues: This is another rare issue but occasionally, the frame rate will chug for no reason and cause some slowdown.
