## Walkthrough

Following the water level, the final area of the game is now the focus. However, before embarking on this new journey, an unobtrusive Memento awaits acquisition as the Prologue's 2nd Memento.

To initiate the forthcoming adventure, ascend the stairs situated on the temple's right side. Seek out a jar harboring red birds among luminescent plants. Utilize these birds to leap upward and proceed leftward.

Continue until you encounter a cul-de-sac hosting a lightning bug. Interact with the lightning bug, forging a companionship. Ascend the stairs to the right, benefitting from the illumination provided by the lightning bug.

Upon reaching the zenith of the stairs, the lightning bug departs. Shatter the jar containing red birds and proceed upward. Progress until further ascent becomes impossible, then move rightward. An assembly of hovering gold birds emerges. These birds, akin to their red counterparts, offer both illumination and elevation. It's noteworthy that the light they provide is ephemeral, and the platforms they generate are evanescent.

Efficiently traverse the illuminated edifice, availing yourself of the second set of gold birds to maintain the luminous pathway. Continue leftward, shattering the floor at its terminus and descending. More red birds are found here, facilitating an upward leap into a sizable semicircular pool.

Retrieve the Memento, then utilize the red birds within the semicircle to launch yourself upward, subsequently reaching a waterfall. Ascend through the waterfall to access the next region.

Proceed leftward and descend the slide until arrival in the water tree section. Ascend through the water trees, ultimately encountering a breakable floor.

At this point, your firefly companion returns, providing illumination as you traverse rightward. Proceed to the far right, where a gathering of red birds awaits within a jar. The application of the Heavy ability prompts the departure of the lightning bug; fortunately, an alternative lightning bug nearby is at your disposal.

Leap upward using the red birds, and traverse the platforms that materialize until you find yourself atop a small structure adjacent to a set of red birds.

At this juncture, you bid farewell to your firefly companion, utilizing the Heavy ability to instigate its departure. Prepare to seize the red birds and employ them to propel yourself upward while descending.

Return to the familiar area where new abilities are obtained. Embark on the quest to locate stars!

Commence by venturing rightward, identifying red birds immersed in water. Utilize these birds to leap onto the rooftop of the waterfall structure, then continue ascending with the aid of red birds, eventually arriving in an upside-down region.

In this instance, red birds are enlisted to guide your descent. The process of alternating orientation leads to a breakable floor while in an upside-down state. Shattering the floor allows for entry into the water below. Swim within the horseshoe-shaped area, gather red birds, and enact further descent.

With the semicircular water area negotiated, employ the red birds within to ascend to the waterfall. Submerge within the waterfall and proceed to the subsequent zone.

Proceed leftward, descending through the water trees, and reaching the bottom will require smashing a floor. At this point, your firefly friend rejoins you, illuminating the way ahead. Proceed all the way to the right, releasing more red birds from a jar. The Heavy ability dispels your lightning bug companion, and luckily, a replacement is situated nearby.

Leap upward with the aid of red birds, and then navigate the platforms until you reach a small building above a collection of red birds. Here, part with your firefly friend once again and use the red birds to facilitate an upward trajectory while descending.

The well-known area where new abilities are acquired comes into view. Time to search for stars!

Embark on a rightward trajectory, using the red birds to ascend. Upon reaching the breakable floor, break it and employ the red birds to proceed upwards. Continue ascending to enter an upside-down realm.

Travel rightward and utilize the red birds for a descent. You'll arrive on a platform adorned with red vines.

With this Memento procured, move leftward until encountering a circular chamber housing dormant flowers. Your song activates the central platform, rousing both the central flower and those on the platform.

Harness the red birds that materialize to initiate an ascent into the upside-down world. There, awaken all the upside-down flowers, utilizing your song's range to encompass each one.

Depart from the upside-down flowers, then employ the right-side-up flowers to traverse leftward. From the leftmost flower, jump into the upside-down realm, then leap again to reach the adjacent floor to the left. Employ the red birds at the terminus to reorient yourself.

Continue leftward and collect a Star at the end of your path, where a slope materializes beneath you. Upon reaching the bottom, proceed rightward and shatter the floor, leading you into water. Swim toward the right, noting Fowl #5 situated on a disk across from a pillar. Subsequently, return to the central area to prepare for exploration on the right side.

Having completed the left side of the area, shift your focus to the right.

Shortly after ascending the initial set of stairs, a cluster of flowers ready to bloom awaits. Utilize the liberated red birds to leap into the water tree and from there, access the upside-down water above.

Swim rightward, and upon encountering a platform featuring a pulsating light, employ your song to lower the platform's lower half. This triggers the activation of a peculiar creature, akin to a water glider, with a red eye, referred to as Blinky.

Position yourself atop Blinky's head, guiding his movements. Proceed to the right side of his head to navigate him toward the forthcoming waterfall building. Upon arrival, leap onto the building and continue your journey rightward, subsequently descending onto Blinky's head once again.

Employ Blinky's movements to align with flower outlines encountered along the way. Utilize your song to awaken the flowers. Subsequently, disembark from Blinky's head and leap to the upper flower to acquire a Star. Continue rightward, employing the red birds to plunge into the water.

Accumulate red birds while submerged and utilize them to leap into the water tree above. Transition from the water tree into the upside-down world.

Progress rightward, noting the red birds near clusters of purple grapes.

In the vicinity of this Memento, locate Fowl #6 and prompt its awakening through your song. Continue onward, then reverse course, employing the red birds to descend to a lower platform. Subsequently, leap to the adjacent platform on the left, using the red birds to return to an upright orientation.

Persist in your rightward journey until encountering a circular chamber. Within, two creatures named Beetly and Super Beetly await rousing through your song. Following Beetly's awakening, hop onto its wings and invert your orientation to rouse Super Beetly. Employ Super Beetly's wings to facilitate a leap to the adjacent corridor.

Continue rightward, utilizing the red birds to transition to an upright state. At the path's terminus, the final Star is accessible. Leap onto it and engage in a slide down the incline.

Upon initiating a leftward trajectory, Fowl #7 presents itself. Sing to this bird to potentially complete the challenge: Magic Fowls - Sing to the Magic Fowls.

Upon concluding your song, shatter the floor to descend into a water-filled corridor

. Swim leftward through the corridor until emergence.

With this last Memento collected, the successful acquisition of all other Mementos may culminate in the completion of the challenge: Mementos: Find All of the Mementos.

Navigate the watercourse back to the central area where the singing ability was acquired. On both sides of the ability rock, awaken flowers through song, prompting the emergence of red birds.

Leap to the left tower using the red birds, then ascend to the upper levels. A cutscene will ensue, enveloping Gris in darkness.

## Mementos

Again, players may be tricked into believing that they cannot pass these pillars, however, they can walk behind them.

Players will be able to pass through these pillars on the bottom right to do a simple parkour jump in order to get a memento on the left.
