Introduction:
Tales From the Borderlands is the latest episodic story-driven release from Telltale Games, this time based in Gearbox's Borderlands franchise.

Zer0 Sum is the first in the five-part series focusing on a pair of Hyperion employees (Rhys and Vaughn) and two sisters from Pandora (Fiona and Sasha). Rhys and Fiona are both playable characters, and the story will switch back as their stories intertwine.

Atlas Mugged is the second in the five-part series focusing on a pair of Hyperion employees (Rhys and Vaughn) and two sisters from Pandora (Fiona and Sasha).

Catch a Ride is the third in the five-part series focusing on a pair of Hyperion employees (Rhys and Vaughn) and two sisters from Pandora (Fiona and Sasha).

Escape Plan Bravo is the fourth in the five-part series focusing on a pair of Hyperion employees (Rhys and Vaughn) and two sisters from Pandora (Fiona and Sasha).

Vault of Traveler is the final episode of five exhilarating episodes. We have had some laughs, and maybe some tears; some ups and some downs along the way so let's finish what we started and see how everything wraps up.

Step 1: Play the game!
That's it, just play the game. You can't make any wrong decisions or miss anything, so just enjoy!

Conclusion:
After many months of of waiting, the conclusion to Telltale's latest and greatest is finally done. You have now experienced the end, and have nabbed yourself another 1,000 as well.

There really isn't much to explain for getting any of these achievements. All you need to do is complete the story. Nothing can be missed and no wrong decisions can be made, so you are able to tailor the experience to your preference. To get the full experience, you should investigate everything, or to speed through you can simply go to the proper objective.

The only thing worth noting is that you'll have to be quick in some of the action sequences, flicking the thumb stick in the proper direction, hovering over the proper item to select it, or mashing the proper button quickly. I never failed a sequence in my playthrough though, so it's really not that hard. The game will tell you what to do at all times with on-screen prompts, including when to use Rhys' echo eye ability.

Story related can't be missed. This episode is fairly straightforward as they make everything pretty easy to follow. The game does a good job of guiding you a long so that you can see the story. The key difference between this episode and previous ones is the quick time events are little different. They play out like fighting game combos. It doesn't make it harder, it's just one those things that caught me off guard.

Here is a video walkthrough of this episode if you need/want it:
