Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream Chapter 1: What the Boy Took. Find all collectibles, notes, and tips to navigate the Boiler Room, Attic, Workshop, and more.
Walkthrough
- 1Boiler Room: After the intro cutscene, escape through the vent into a boiler room. Collect the note on the table and the poster collectible (Rosmark’s Gate and Bastion) on the wall. Exit the room by waiting for a guard to move away from the hallway, then proceed up the stairs and through the door. Talk to Aunt Mary and climb the ladder.
- 2Attic: Upon entering the attic, two guards will appear. Hide behind boxes. Wait for one guard to investigate a noise, then sneak past him. Enter another vent on the left.
- 3Workshop: From the vent, observe guard patrols. Wait for a guard to move away from the vent, then cross behind cover to the right. Wait for more guards to enter and for the guard near the metal grates to exit. Go down the stairs, navigate around the metal grates, and proceed to the door into the engine room.
- 4Steam Engine: In the engine room, wait for a guard to go upstairs. Hide behind the big wheel, then wait for the second guard to pass. Move to the red crank wheel, hide behind the middle wall, and wait for the guard to pass through. Interact with the crank to turn on the machine, creating noise cover. Immediately sneak up the stairs onto the upper grate area. Cross the grate while the guard investigates the crank. Use moving boxes to reach the ladder on the right. This section is where the 'Escape Artist' achievement is unlocked.
- 5The Rooftops: After reaching the rooftops, climb the ledge to the left. Continue down the rooftops. Collect the note on the vent. Vault over the gate to the left and proceed to the ladders leading back down.
- 6Repair Shop: On the ground, walk right past the truck and down the stairs. Collect the 'Apple Gardens Travel Guide' collectible on the platform up the ladder on the left. Backtrack and go left from where you climbed down. Use the birds to distract the guard, then vault over the gate. Grab the note on the table behind the gate.
- 7The Pub (Wine Storage): Enter the next open doorway. After the cutscene, quickly run across the yard to the left (hold Shift + M1). Wait for the next revolving guard's back to turn, then walk down the wooden walkway. Grab the note on the barrel near the vault gate. Climb over the gate. Enter the vent to access the warehouse. Collect the note and the 'Madame Cecilia' collectible inside. Exit the warehouse back to the wine storage deck.
- 8Wine Storage (Continued): Wait for patrols, then cross to the left where birds are on the roof. Make noise near the birds to distract guards. Exit the area and go around to the back right side. Vault over the gate and head towards the stairs. Collect the note on a crate at the bottom of the stairs. There are two paths forward, both containing collectibles.
