Chapter 6 - Blood Money, Episode 1 - Zer0 Sum | Tales from the Borderlands | Walkthrough

Tales from the Borderlands

Description

Tales from the Borderlands is an interactive adventure game developed by Telltale Games in partnership with Gearbox Software, creators of the mainline Borderlands series. Set on the lawless planet Pandora, it adopts Telltale's signature choice-driven narrative approach, blending cinematic storytelling, character development, and quick-time events with the irreverent humor, distinct cel-shaded art style, and deep lore of the Borderlands universe. The story is framed as a recounting by two protagonists, Rhys and Fiona, detailing their intertwined quest involving a Vault key. Episode 1, "Zer0 Sum," concludes with the action-packed Chapter 6, "Blood Money." Following a chaotic vehicular chase event, Rhys, Fiona, and their companions are pursuing a briefcase containing ten million dollars. Simultaneously, Zer0, a vault hunter from the main series, is tracking the bandit leader Bossanova. As Zer0 confronts Bossanova, eliminating his forces with deadly efficiency, Felix, the mentor to Fiona and Sasha, intercepts the money briefcase. In a shocking betrayal, Felix turns on the sisters, intending to steal the money. Players face a critical choice: warn Felix about the briefcase's explosive lock, shoot him, or do nothing. This decision determines his fate. Meanwhile, Zer0 finishes his fight with Bossanova before departing, having completed his mission but unaware of a greater discovery nearby. Rhys falls into a hidden Atlas chamber, where he and Fiona uncover two pieces of metal. Bringing them together assembles the Gortys core, an artifact Zer0 was unknowingly searching for. Upon assembly, the core activates a dormant AI within Rhys's cybernetic implant – none other than the digital ghost of Handsome Jack, the infamous former Hyperion CEO. Jack confirms they have found the Gortys Project, which leads to a Vault, ominously promising future trouble. This dramatic conclusion cements the episode's events, sets up the main quest for the Gortys Project, and introduces Handsome Jack as a key, unpredictable element, earning the player the "Blood Money" achievement and concluding the first episode.
