Telltale’s Game of Thrones series plunges players into the heart of Westeros, forcing them to make difficult choices that impact the fate of House Forrester. This guide provides insights and strategic advice to navigate the treacherous political landscape and survive the game’s many challenges, focusing on key decisions and their potential consequences. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the series, this Game of Thrones guide will help you make informed choices and experience the story to its fullest.
Chapter 1: Bowen’s Fate
SAVE BOWEN – Regardless of your choice, saving Bowen or not, this decision serves primarily as an introduction to Telltale’s decision-making mechanics. While it highlights the weight of your choices, Bowen’s fate in Chapter 1 has no bearing on subsequent events in Game of Thrones.
Chapter 4: Pledging Allegiance in King’s Landing
SWEAR LOYALTY TO MARGAERY – Navigating Cersei Lannister’s manipulations is crucial. While Margaery advises saying whatever Cersei wants to hear, appeasing Cersei at Margaery’s expense will damage your relationship with the Queen.
- Kneel before her (Queen is pleased)
- We serve King Joffrey (Queen is pleased)
- They were our Wardens.
- He is the new Warden.
- To our mutual benefits.
- There are limits, your grace.
- I won’t judge her.
- I won’t be conflicted.
- I am sworn to my Lady Margaery.
While Cersei’s actions will unfold regardless of your choices, Margaery will remember how you treated her later in the game. Choosing to support Margaery is the wiser, long-term strategy.

Chapter 5: Decisions at Ironrath
Show him mercy (Free Erik) – This decision presents a moral dilemma with practical consequences. Freeing Erik might seem unwise for a Lord, but the House Forrester needs every available soldier.
Consequences:
- Free Erik: He will be grateful and fight for House Forrester.
- Send him to the Wall: His family will starve. Gared can interact with him at the Wall.
- Chop off his fingers: He is maimed and unable to fight.
ROYLAND DEGORE AS SENTINEL – Duncan’s diplomatic skills make him a seemingly logical choice for Sentinel. However, consider that Ethan is easily influenced. Malcolm’s recommendation of Royland might sway Ethan’s decision. Royland’s martial prowess also makes him a suitable choice for the battles to come.
Sentinel choice dictates who will betray House Forrester. The Sentinel choice is all about who will be the traitor in next episodes. Duncan, as the traitor, claims his betrayal was for the good of House Forrester. Royland’s straightforward nature makes him an unlikely traitor in many players’ eyes.
I will make Ramsay wait at the gates – A small act of defiance against Ramsay Snow. This decision doesn’t affect the overall outcome.
Send Malcolm to Essos – Malcolm will eventually seek out Asher, regardless of your choice. Therefore, there’s no reason to oppose Lady Forrester’s wishes.

Chapter 6: Intrigue in King’s Landing
Do NOT take the seal or key in Lady Margaery’s Chamber – Maintain Lady Margaery’s trust by not stealing from her. Mira should remain a loyal handmaid, not a thief. Betraying Margaery’s trust undermines your position in King’s Landing.
Chapter 7: Facing Ramsay
This chapter presents a fixed ending. Regardless of your choices, the conclusion remains the same.
Best way to act:
- The gods don’t favor us
- Just you
- No one can match our skill
- You want our fealty? (You got Ramsay’s attention)
- [Kneel]
- You’re father needn’t worry
- You’re mistaken
- We are the true craftsmen! (Ramsay heard your argument)
- That will cause more trouble, not less
- Enough, Lord Snow!
- [Grab Talia] (You protected your sister)
