My guess now is whatever Daryl and friends do is what ends up actually clearing the walkers from the sanctuary.

 

I doubt it, but I love your ideas.

 

Is it not Daryl's plan to somehow blow open those gates so that all the walkers can flood into the main building?

 

Yes, so how would that result in their actually wandering away? The noise of the gates blowing would turn them all in the opposite direction?

 

I think Daryl might use Rosita's RPG and blow open the gate (not an perimeter fence gate) that is on the ground floor of the building. Once blown up, walkers will go into the building. But they can only flood the ground floor as all the saviours and workers have moved up to higher floors.

 

There was dialog last episode that workers were required to stay either on the first floor or outside. But they moved up anyway because of the situation? I thought the weird dialog was setting them all up to be killed even though it was obvious that could simply climb some stairs.

Edit: Also, wasn't an order given to block access to all floors back when Rick and Daryl had snuck in to look for weapons?

 

Was the speaker warehouse the building where Noah got killed? I mean set wise not TWD universe.

 

can walkers climb stairs? do we know?

 

They did in season 1, i/e They climbed the stairs to Merle on the rooftop. But the show and walkers mannerisms have changed dramatically since then!

 

We also saw them go downstairs in Season 3 in the dumb blonde flee the Guv episode.

Great profile pic.

 

They did when Alexandria was over run, We saw Deanna shooting them.

 

That was at an outpost. It was where they found Morales and the baby.

 

Negan is smart to have the Fat Lady stationed outside the Sanctuary, ready to come anytime to distract walkers surrounding his main base. In essence, this technique of attracting the herd by using a noise making vehicle is similar to what Rick used to lead the herd away from ASZ.
But since the Sanctuary is his main base and a surrounding herd is such a big threat, I would think Negan has a backup plan, in addition to the Fat Lady.
I would probably have something on site or very close nearby. This secondary system might be like having some speakers positioned in a building just a few blocks away and can be turned on remotely to attract a big portion of a surrounding herd away.

 

Yes, Z's can absolutely manage stairs, up and down (although down is easier lol).
