Achievement roadmap

Prologue

Start by entering the Winter Garden. Before you leave it, check the corner beside the flowerbed for Livia’s Diary Page 2/7.

Go into the Fumoir, use the telephone on the lower floor, then check the other desk before leaving. That is Livia’s Diary Page 1/7.

Head to the Library. Near the bookshelves and small wooden stepladder, pick up Livia’s Diary Page 4/7. Take the story key from the Library too, but do not go straight downstairs yet.

Make a short detour into the Gallery. Near the display with two stone figures, collect Livia’s Diary Page 3/7 from the floor.

Return toward the Fumoir and take the upper route down to the Basement. Near the upper Basement entrance, search below the nearby furniture and shelving for Livia’s Diary Page 7/7. Deeper in the Basement, check the lower shelves for Livia’s Diary Page 6/7.

Continue toward the Cellar and find the workbench with the red box or toolbox. Livia’s Diary Page 5/7 is there. With all seven pages collected, What I saw. What I felt should unlock.

Continue down to the Crypt and interact with the altar. The story event here unlocks Midway upon the journey of our life.

The altar is missing three animal statues:

• Lion: upper Fumoir, near the route toward the Basement.
• Leopard: on the route between the Library and Winter Garden.
• She-Wolf: in the Winter Garden, close to the flowerbed where Diary Page 2 was found.

Collecting the three statues unlocks The Three Beasts. Return to the Crypt, place all three on the altar, activate it, and enter the portal. The following sequence unlocks I found myself within a forest dark and moves you into Chapter I.

Chapter I

Follow The Dive through the opening route. Once the aircraft wing is behind you, keep going until you reach the Plane Ticket, then inspect it for Gabriele’s Memory 1/7.

Continue to the First Trial, the circular puzzle covered in red growth. Do not solve it yet.

Explore the side paths around the Trial first. Near the sin and virtue clue area, inspect the pack of cigarettes for Gabriele’s Memory 2/7. Continue through the nearby route and, after speaking with the Ancestor, pick up the Coin on the ledge for Gabriele’s Memory 3/7.

You should have 3/7 Gabriele memories before finishing this chapter.

Find Livia before the First Trial

From the Trial, turn around and follow the blood-marked path away from the mechanism. At the doors, take the right door. Cross the room, exit through the opening on the right, then immediately look left.

Livia is beside the strange tree-like figure. Finding her unlocks What makes this mass of flesh Livia.

Find Charon

Continue along the blood trail from Livia. Pass under the fallen pillar and climb the stairs. At the top, approach the overlook until the Charon encounter triggers.

This unlocks Charon the demon, with the eyes of glede.

First Trial solution

Return to the First Trial. The seven sins need to be paired with their matching virtues:

Align every red sin animal with the correct white virtue animal.

Completing the Trial ends Chapter I and unlocks For the straightforward pathway had been lost.

Chapter II

Back in the manor, go to the Fumoir and call Dalila. Return to the Crypt and enter the portal again.

Follow The Dive. After crawling beneath the rocks into the next open area, look left beside the stone rocking horse for Gabriele’s Memory 4/7, Family Photo.

Continue until you reach the broken bridge. Turn right, descend, pass the fallen structures, circle the crater, and go through the large gates.

First procession puzzle

At the first set of red-wheel pillars, rotate every pillar in order:

1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5

Once the procession is redirected, use the nearby platform or elevator to descend.

Before going too far, look for the yellow rubber duck on a small stone pedestal. It is Gabriele’s Memory 5/7, Rubber Duck.

Second procession puzzle

At the next procession puzzle, leave the first pillar untouched. Rotate:

2 → 3 → 4

After the procession reaches the portal, ride the raised platform back up. Skirt the perimeter until you reach the gate identified by the large orange eye, then go through it.

Continue through the caves until you reach the low crawlspace. Before entering it, search the rubble nearby for Gabriele’s Memory 6/7, Car Keys.

The story returns you to the manor. Call Dalila from the Fumoir again, then enter The Dive for a third time.

After the next Ancestor conversation, keep going until you pass under the first large fallen pillar. The Worn Rosary is on that pillar. This is Gabriele’s Memory 7/7.

If you collected the previous six memories, The essence of your being. should unlock here.

Memory-object sequence

Continue into the large puzzle area with the table of objects tied to Gabriele’s memories. Complete that sequence to unlock I just feel… empty.

Five statues puzzle

One of the golden paths plays five musical notes. Those notes are the clue for the statues on another branch.

Activate the five statues in this order:

I → IX → V → X → II

Clock puzzle

Follow the remaining golden path to the clock mechanism. The five controls represent the hands from longest to shortest.

Set them left to right as:

IX → I → X → V → II

After both puzzles are solved, return to the central area and use the handprint pedestal. Wait for the mechanism to finish, then follow the newly opened route until you return to the manor.

Library chest and Archive Key

The Archive is locked, so go to the Library and inspect the chessboard and the chest beside it.

On the side of the chest closest to the chessboard, press:

E2 and D3

On the opposite side, press:

C2 and F3

A circular mechanism appears on the front. Set:

• White dial: VI
• Black dial: IX

Take the Archive Key from the opened chest and use it on the Archive door beside the Library.

Inspect the main document and the other papers inside the Archive. The sequence that follows unlocks Truths too painful to unearth.

Return to the Fumoir, call Dalila, and continue through the story. When you regain control, head upstairs through the altered route. Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say unlocks as Chapter II ends.

Chapter III

Continue through the mandatory story sequence until the manor changes again. This can’t be happening… unlocks during this transition.

Follow the voice through the altered manor and complete the family-memory scenes. Endless Cycle unlocks before the Third Trial.

Third Trial solution

The Third Trial has a small central table and four doors. Each round shows an image on a hanging banner. Match that image with the symbol above the correct door.

The full nine-door sequence is:

Sunset → Disc → Sun → Moon → Disc → Sunset → Sun → Sunset → Sunset

For reference, the banner matches are:

The Missing Piece

When the Dagger banner appears, stop before choosing the next door.

Search the left-hand shelving before touching another door. The small chess piece there unlocks the missable achievement The Missing Piece.

Resume the Trial with Dagger → Sunset, then continue through Key → Sun, Catlike Beast → Sunset, and Harp → Sunset.

After the ninth correct door, the central table disappears. Follow the new path. Breathe, you made it. should unlock for completing the Trial.

Walk the Path and final route

Continue through the white-and-black outdoor area toward the red portal. Finishing this route unlocks Which in the very thought renews the fear.

Enter the red portal and return to the altered manor.

Go to the Fumoir and interact with the board of recovered pages when the objective tells you to touch the pages and awaken the ritual.

The usual paths are partly blocked now. Reach the Crypt through:

Winter Garden → Library → rear staircase → Basement → Crypt

Continue the final ritual and story sequence. Completing Chapter III unlocks What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,.

If you followed the route in order, the run should now include every missable diary page, every Gabriele memory, both optional Chapter I encounters, the Chapter III chess piece, and all story achievements covered by the walkthrough.
