Minecraft: Story Mode is the next game from the Telltale Games studio's adventure series. The game will be released in episodes, similarly to previous games of this type. This game guide is divided into five parts - one for each episode. In the guides, you will find detailed walkthroughs, descriptions of important decisions (which will have their consequences in next episodes) and the differences between them. The last part contains also a description of all the possible endings. All the differences between them and the ways to achieve each one are described.
After such productions as The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us, Telltale Games decided to take a shot at the well known Minecraft world. In the game, the player impersonates Jesse. You can select the gender and appearance, but the game doesn't provide a different story for every character. During your adventure, you will often face decision that will have consequences later in the game. This is a common feature for Telltale games. During your gameplay, you will encounter various logic puzzles or features typical for the Minecraft universe.

You will find the first important choice in the second chapter of the game. You have to decide whether you want to rescue your pig or not.
The second important choice is connected to the situation in chapter three. You have to decide whether you want to go back and rescue Lukas or warn Gabriel.
The consequences of this decision are similar, because even if you don't go back to rescue Lukas, you will meet him when running away from Wither.
The third important choice can be found in the fourth chapter of the game. You have to decide who you want to rescue from Wither.
No consequences of the choice in this episode.
The next important choice is connected to a situation in chapter five. You can convince Lukas to stay in the shelter or tell him to go away.
No matter what decision you make, Lukas will be with you to the end of the episode. Even if you tell him to go away, he will go back in the morning with some food.
The fifth important choice can be found in the sixth chapter of the game. You have to decide who you want to look for.
This decision will have its consequences in the second episode, as the story will be different depending on what you choose to do.
Right after starting the game, you can select your character. You can choose between a female (three different types of appearance) and a man (also three different types). After choosing a character, you will enter a dialogue in which you learn the mechanics of the game.
Huh?
Chicken-sized Zombies
Zombie-sized chickens
...
Reuben is my friend
People love pigs!
It's not weird at all
...
Who cares what they think? / Olivia will remember that
Just embrace it
We aren't losers
...
Cool mask / Axel will remember that
You had that coming
Not funny Axel
...
If he's happy, I'm happy
He looks awesome!
He looks ridiculous
...
After the conversation, look around the room that you're in. Your task is to pack your things and head to the contest. To do that, you need to approach the two chests and take the items (Chest - Open). After collecting them, open the hatch in the floor and go outside (Trap Door - Use).
I wish the rest of them were here
It's not that big a deal, is it?
I'd love to meet Gabriel!
...
We'll win this time / They will remember that
Have a little faith, Olivia
Anything can happen
...
How about the zombie?
Enderman are cool
Let's build a creeper!
...
The next part of this chapter contains some quick time events. Press the appropriate keys appearing on the screen to get ready for the competition.
We're the Nether Maniacs!
We're the Dead Enders!
We're the Order of the Pig!
...
After arriving at the competition, go to position number 5. Just turn left and you will see a large sign that will lead you to your friends.
Our design is way cooler
A beacon sounds awesome
Don't worry, we got this
...
Shut up, you jerk!
Don't mess with him!
Reuben is not food
...
Teach your friends some manners
We're going to crush you
May the best team win
...
When building, press the buttons appearing on the screen. At the end, you will see an opposite team trying to destroy your construction using lava. You have to decide whether you want your friends to help you find Reuben or stay here and defend the construction. No matter what you decide, you will go search for Reuben.
When searching the area, you will find some Hoof Prints (press Look At). Follow them to continue looking for Reuben. On your right, you will see Rising Smoke (Look At). Head this way. In the next part of the location, you will find Reuben's costume (Smoldering Costume - Examine). Right next to the entrance, where you find the costume, you will find a small passage (like a cave). On the other side of the passage, you will find some grass in which Reuben is hiding (Tall Grass - Search).
I'm glad to see you!
You're in big trouble!
Let's get out of here
...
During your conversation with Reuben, you will be attacked by zombies. Approach them and attack with your wooden sword. After the fight, you will face the first important decision.
When fighting the spiders, press the keys that appear on the screen until Petra comes to help you.
You went to the Nether?!
That's insane, Petra
No big deal
...
Why didn't he get it himself?
This sounds sketchy
That's worth a diamond?
...
I'm all in
What's in it for me?
I'll back you up
...
After the fight, you will need to craft a new sword. To do that, you have to place appropriate items in the right places on the table. You can see the right placement on the screenshot above.
You might be right
Not a chance
...
At the end of the chapter, decide whether you want to fight the monsters or jump. No matter what you choose to do, the situation will end the same way.
Talking is what I do!
Should I be nervous?
I'll keep quiet
...
We deserve a victory party!
I'm proud of you guys
You actually won?!
...
Okay, I'll stay here
Don't leave me!
This doesn't feel right
...
Don't creep up on people
No, who are you?
My name's Jesse
...
You want a wither skull
I'm ready to deal
I'm her partner
...
Not so fast
Petra has the skull
Of course I have it!
...
Let's do this
I'm cool if he's cool
I've got a bad feeling
...
He can't get away with this!
Why did you trust him?!
Lapis isn't that bad
...
After talking to Petra, go search for Ivor. On the left side of the street, you will find Simon. Ask him if he saw Ivor (Simon - Talk To).
My team earned it
Your machine was cool
Your friend hurt my pig
...
Next, approach Axel and talk to him.
You're no help
Stop messing around
We can't find him alone
...
After talking to Axel, you will notice Ivor. Follow him until you can grab him (Ivor - Grab). Unfortunately, the person will turn out to be someone else. You will unlock a new part of the location. Approach the cook and take Reuben from him.
[Do Nothing]
[Threaten him with a sword]
[Offer to trade sword]
After a while, you will notice Ivor one more time, running towards the building with a guard. To get inside, you need to destroy the chicken machine to distract the guard.
Go to the shop where you can buy Slime and talk to the seller. You will obtain only eight units of Slime. To get one more, approach Lukas and ask him to give it to you. When you have nine units of Slime, go to a nearby workshop and create a block. After placing it on the ground, jump in the right moment to break the glass barrier. This way you will be able to enter the building where Ivor is.
We politely ask for what's our
We get a little payback!
Whatever we have to
...
Sounds good to me
Just find the skull
We should hurry
...
To find the skull, you have to go to the last room of the library. You will find Axel, Olivia and Reuben here. Approach the potion (Fancy Potion - Look At).
Leave it alone
That's mine!
It's all yours
...
After taking the potion, Axel will place another one on its place. This way you will discover a lever (Lever - Pull). Look inside the chest on the ground.
This is too weird
Don't touch it!
It's a machine?
...
We need to get out of here
Maybe Ivor's a collector?
What do these skulls mean?
...
After a short conversation, head to a place where you can hide (Hiding Place - Run To).
Hello Ivor
Look out!
Over here!
...
We don't want any trouble
We saw your Wither
Give us our diamond
...
When running away, press the keys that show up on the screen. After the chase, you will notice that Lukas is missing. Now you can go back by choosing the "I'm going after Lukas myself" option. After getting inside the chest, talk to Lukas who is also there.
Sit tight
I'm going to attack it
Make a run for it
...
As soon as the conversation ends, take the bottle from the right side of the counter and throw it towards the shelf (Shelf - Throw Bottle At). After escaping, talk to Gabriel, who is standing on the stage.
How do you know him?
That's they guy who attacked us!
You're part of this?
...
Somebody stop him!
This can't be good
What's he doing?
...
Ivor, what are you doing?
He can't stop that thing!
That's not working!
...
When Wither attacks, press the keys appearing on the screen to avoid the obstacles on your way. Watch out especially for the beams of light. Near the end of the road, approach the Portal (Portal - Light). When talking to Gabriel, you will receive a special amulet.
You want me?
How will I find them?
What does it do?
...
Head to the portal!
I'm going with you!
I won't let you stay!
...
Now you will face another important choice. You can rescue one character from Wither. It can be either Petra or Gabriel. In this episode, there will be no consequences of the choice.
He froze
It was chaos
Tell them, Lukas!
...
It's too dangerous!
We have to go back
Petra's/Gabriel's already lost
...
[Punch him]
You can't blame us!
This is all your fault!
...
Our friend is in trouble!
Petra will make it
You're a coward
...
Leave us alone, Ivor
We should listen to him
How will you get out?
...
After the conversation, there will be a series of quick time events. Press the keys appearing on the screen to avoid the obstacles and reflect the missiles back at the monsters. At the end of the road, you will find a large portal. Go through it and deal with the zombie. Wait for the rest of the team.
Axel, cut it out
It's here somewhere
We're vulnerable here!
...
Now you have to decide which shelter to choose. You can build a treehouse or a hut. No matter which one you choose, the story will go similarly. When talking by the campfire and sharing food, you can give your part to Lukas [Give cookie]. It will make it easier to convince him to stay in the shelter for the night.
No more jokes
Petra would like it
Gotta stay positive
...
We'll figure it out in the morning
Lukas is trying to help
Who put you in charge?
...
Let's calm down
Lukas, stop it
Axel, back off
...
Now you face an important decision. You can either tell Lukas to go or to convince him to stay in the shelter.
No matter what option you choose, you won't get rid of Lukas. Even if he goes, he will come back in the morning with some apples.
After reaching the wall, climb up to see the temple that Gabriel spoke about.
What are we waiting for?
Let's be careful
This has to be it!
...
When walking, Reuben will trigger a trap and arrows will start shooting. Run through the corridor and press the keys that appear on the screen to finish the event. When you are inside the trap, you will need to use a bow and arrow to reach the switch. Place the items in the workshop in the right order (shown on the screenshot above). After crafting the two items, aim at the switch and shoot (Pressure Plate - Hit).
When you are in the library, approach the open book and tell your friends about what you found.
Ivor was a member of the Order?!
This explain a lot
Gabriel didn't mention this!
...
They go up
Only one way to find out
Someplace safe, I hope
...
The stairs will lead you to the main part of the temple in which you can activate the amulet. To do that, approach the pedestal and select Pedestal - Use Amulet On. Go to the other side of the room, where you will find five levers. Your task is to find a combination that will make all the colours near the map glow. Below, you will find the right combination (from the left):
This is what Gabriel wanted us to see!
This must be a tracking system!
What do the colors mean?
...
We have to find Petra
We have to stop Ivor
It's trying to tell us something
...
What if you're wrong?
Right, you should stay
We need you with us
...
Now you will face the last important choice which will influence the story in the next episode. You have to decide whether you want to go with Olivia to look for Ellegaard, or go with Axel to look for Magnus.
Minecraft: Story Mode is a production from the Telltale Games studio, which is famous for its adventure games released in episodes. Just like the previous games, this one is based on Telltale Tool engine, which doesn't provide any advanced graphic options. The game was created to fit multiple platforms and therefore PC requirements are very low. This game guide was created using a PC with Intel Core i5 4460 processor, AMD Radeon R9270x 2GB graphics card and 8GB RAM. During the gameplay, the computer was able to generate 60 fps with 30% system usage. However, there were some fluency losses, like lowering the number of fps to 30 for one second. Sometimes there were only 15 fps. The cause of the problem is v-sync (vertical synchronization), which can't be turn off. The problem went away after minimalizing the game window and then opening it again. None of the previous games from Telltale studio had such a problem. Besides that, the game was of high quality (from the technical point of view) and there were no bugs or crashes.
The Minecraft: Story Mode game guide was created using a PC with the following configuration:
The game was running fluently on the above configuration.
Minimal requirements:
Minecraft: Story Mode - Assembly Required is the first episode of the new adventure game from Telltale Games studio. This game guide will help you to get through the main story. The first part contains a detailed walkthrough with a description of all the important decisions and solutions to puzzles. You will find the walkthrough in the first chapter of the guide. The next chapter contains the description of important choices. You can read about their consequences and the differences between them. In the second episode of Minecraft: Story Mode, the gameplay is focused on continuing the story and some of the important choices from the first episode will have their consequences now. In this game guide, you can find the description of consequences of both the options from the end of the first episode.

You encounter the first important choice in the first chapter of the episode. You have to decide how you want to get rid of Ghast.
There are no consequences of this choice.
The second important choice depends on your decision from the first episode. If you chose Ellegaard, you can now steal the repeater or craft it from scratch. If you chose Magnus, you can give the amulet to Alex when running from the griefers or keep it and try to escape.
Ellegaard:
No consequences of the choice.
Magnus:
No consequences of the choice.
The third important choice is different depending on who you've chosen in the first episode. If Ellegaard, you will now have to decide whether to help him build the mechanism or not. If Magnus, you need to pick a nickname for yourself.
Ellegaard:
No consequences of the choice.
Magnus:
No consequences of the choice.
The last important choice in the second episode can be found in the third chapter of the game. You have to decide whether you want to go search for Soren now or wait until morning to avoid potential danger. The difference lies in a short cut-scene and a longer fight with the monsters.
No consequences of the choice.
The first chapter is directly connected to the ending of the first episode, in which you had to choose who to ask for help - Magnus or Ellegaard.
It's pretty amazing!
Remember why we're here
Watch out for monsters
...
After a short conversation with Olivia, you will be attacked by one of the monsters. Press the keys appearing on the screen to defeat it. During the last part of the fight, switch to a bow and aim at the monster to kill it.
Take us to her
Maybe you can save the world?
Can you give her a message?
...
The world is ending!
I'm here to reassemble the Order
I have message from Gabriel
...
Your task is to obtain a mechanism that will allow you to get to Ellegaard. Head to the right side of the location where you can find the device. When looking at the item, its owner will approach you and tell you that he needs it (Lava Disco Creator - Talk To).
Can you spare me a repeater?
What is this?
Need a hand?
Nevermind
After using all the dialogue options, the creator will tell you not to talk to the schoolboy standing nearby. Now you can set a little trap by talking to the schoolboy.
Tell us about your machine
Do you have a repeater?
Perhaps I could help?
...
I'm not looking to start a trouble
He thinks you're not inventive
He called you an idea thief
...
After choosing the He called you and idea thief, dialogue option, both the characters will start fighting and you will have some time to steal the repeater. Head back to the place where Olivia is and place the device in the appropriate place to power it. Next to the mechanism, you will find three levers. Pull all of them to reach Ellegaard's quarters. Move through the corridors until you reach a trap. To disable it, you have to press the switch next to the trap twice. When the door starts closing, press the key appearing on the screen to jump through it.
I have NO idea what I'm looking at
Don't touch anything
What I sit doing?
...
Next step is to disable to lava barrier. To do that, go to the left side to find a lever. You will find another lever in the next part that will unlock another door. This way you will reach Ellegaard's main quarter. Approach her and select Ellegaard - Talk To.
It's an honor to meet you
We're not assistants
We need your help!
...
Don't blame Olivia
We're not actually assistants
We've got bigger problems
...
Ivor created a monster!
Just listen to me!
Gabriel sent me
...
Command Block's are trouble
I've seen on of those
Let me help you
...
Ivor had one
I've been trying to explain!
It's incredibly dangerous
...
Now do you believe us?
Gabriel gave it to me
It's how we found you
...
That's a great idea
Is that possible?
No! You can't!
...
After talking to Ellegaard, start building the mechanism. Press the keys appearing on the screen in the right order to succeed. When building, you will be attacked by WitherStorm. Press the keys appearing on the screen when running away.
The last decision in the previous episode was who you want to ask for help. If you've chosen Magnus, you will go with Axel to BoomTown. After arriving to the city, press the keys appearing on the screen to avoid the exploding TnT crates. When it gets dangerous, turn right and reach the banner shown in the screenshot above, which depicts Gabriel's amulet (Banner - Look At).
I know what this means
It's done this before
Only the green part
...
None of your business
Who wants to know?
I think we might
..
You can't have it!
Who wants to help us?
Don't mess with me!
...
After a short conversation with some people that interrupt you, you will start running. Follow the thief that has your amulet and press the keys appearing on the screen to catch him. After reaching Magnus's house, knock on the door.
We mean no offense!
We need your help!
We're not griefers!
...
But he's your biggest fan!
He's definitely not a griefer
Just pretend he's not here
...
We used that amulet
Gabriel sent us here
Ivor sent us
...
The world is in danger!
I'm reassembling the Order
I need the great Magnus
...
Do it for the boom town
Forget it, we'll ask Ellegaard
I thought you were hero!
...
It's the truth
Why can't you trust me?
We're wasting time!
...
They're no match for you!
What does that mean?
We could sneak out
...
Just let one of them win
You can't hide in here!
So choose a new King
...
Wouldn't I be stuck here then?
How could I beat you?
That's a great idea!
...
No crazy cannons
I'll destroy you with TNT!
We'll just throw eggs
...
When talking to Magnus, press the keys appearing on the screen to dodge his arrows and hit him with eggs. In the final moment, aim your bow at the explosive under Magnus's feet to win the battle. With Magnus, run away from WitherStorm and go back to the temple.
After returning to the temple, talk to Gabriel or Petra, depending on who you chose to rescue from Wither in the first episode. The conversation is the same with both the characters.
I can't believe you found us!
I'm so glad you're okay!
How did you escape?
...
What about Gabriel/Petra?
Is there anything left of our home?
Did anyone else get away?
...
All of you, stop!
Stay out of it, Axel!
It's okay Ellegaard
...
Will you stop fighting!
We'll need some serious firepower
It's nothing we can't handle
...
Can't we make some?
So what are we going to do?
I thought you were heroes!
...
Something stronger than TNT?
What did Soren have?
Let her talk Magnus
...
That's perfect!
Do you know where he kept it?
How could that even exist?
...
He wasn't on the map
I think we can find him!
You really don't remember?
...
After the conversation, place the amulet on the pedestal and pull the first lever to activate the system that will show you Soren's location.
So what's the problem?
Then let's go!
He'll help us!
...
Blue?
Who's that?
That's not good
...
Now you face another important decision. It won't have any consequences, because both the stories end the same way.
No matter which option you choose, your team will reach Soren's location. The first thing that you need to do is to jump onto the other side. You will fail to do that and you will land one floor below. After meeting Endermen, start pressing the keys appearing on the screen. You will end up in the water. Swim towards your allies standing near the main door.
Seems like they fight a lot
They've got issues
Forget about them
...
After a short conversation, you have to choose who you want to follow - Ellegaard or Magnus. No matter who you choose, you will end up in the same situation. Depending on who you've rescued in the first episode, you will be accompanied by either Gabriel or Petra. The conversation is the same in both cases.
It better be important
You can talk to me
It's not a problem
...
You need to get help!
What is that?
Are you sick?
...
Are you okay?
Go get help
I'm fine!
...
When going through the corridor, pick up the amulet that you lost when falling down. After reaching a large room, turn right, towards the library.
Show yourself!
Soren?
Hello?
...
I found the Order
Why are you here?
Please calm down
...
But, I have question!
Stop right there!
Fine, get out
...
Let him go
He can't leave this place
The Order should decide
...
When fighting Ivor, press the keys appearing on the screen to dodge his attacks. Perform counterattacks by aiming at the right spot. The fight will end with Ivor running away and having you locked in the bunker.
