Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream Chapter 1: What the Boy Took. Navigate guards, find collectibles, and escape the boiler room, attic, workshop, and more.
Walkthrough
- 1After the intro cutscene, you'll be in a boiler room. Collect the note on the table and the hanging poster collectible (Rosmark’s Gate and Bastion) on the wall.
- 2Exit the boiler room by going up the stairs, waiting for the guard to turn away from the hallway, and then exiting through the door.
- 3Knock on the next door to meet Hanna's Aunt Mary. After the dialogue, go up the ladder.
- 4In the attic, stay behind the boxes. Wait for a guard to go check the trap door, then sneak past him. Enter the vent on the left.
- 5Before exiting the vent in the workshop, observe guard patrols. Exit the vent behind cover to the right.
- 6Wait for guards to enter and for one to leave via the stairs. Go down the stairs on the right, carefully navigate around the metal grates, and proceed left towards the stairs. Look through the window to see the red crank wheel. Exit through the door into the engine room.
- 7In the engine room, hide behind the big wheel. Wait for the second guard to pass, then move to the red crank wheel area. Hide behind the middle wall and wait for the guard to pass. Interact with the crank to turn on the machine.
- 8Immediately sneak up the stairs onto the upper grate area. Cross the grate while the wheel is on. Use the moving boxes to cross to the right and reach the ladder.
- 9On the rooftops, wait for dialogue, then climb the ledge to the left.
- 10Continue down the rooftops. Collect the note on the vent ahead.
- 11Vault over the gate to the left of the note and proceed to the next rooftop and ladders leading to the ground floor.
- 12On the ground, walk right past the truck and down the stairs. Collect the item (Apple Gardens Travel Guide) on the platform up the ladder on the left.
- 13Backtrack to where you climbed down from the rooftops. Go to the steel roofs on the left past the birds. Make noise near the birds to distract the guard. Vault over the gate to the left and walk past.
- 14Grab the note on the table behind the gate you vaulted over.
- 15Enter the next open doorway. Quickly run across the yard to the left (hold Shift + M1) to get past the first revolving guard.
- 16Wait for the second revolving guard's back to turn, then walk down the wooden walkway.
- 17Grab the note on the barrel near the vault gate.
- 18Climb over the gate to the left. Look through the window into the warehouse. Drop down from the upper platform (or take stairs) and move around the corner toward the brick wall with the picture. Climb the ledge and enter the vent.
- 19Inside the vent, enter the warehouse and collect the note and collectible (Madame Cecilia).
- 20Exit the warehouse back to the wine storage deck. Wait for patrols, then cross through the middle toward the left where birds are on the roof.
- 21Step toward the birds to make noise and distract guards. Exit the area and walk around the guards to the back right side. Vault over the gate and head towards the stairs.
- 22Grab the note on a crate at the bottom of the stairs.
- 23Choose one of the two paths to reach the objective area, both containing collectibles.
