Guide to mastering the environmental elements in Gris's Prologue. Learn how to navigate the crumbling world, collect stars, and complete the 'First Stage of Grief: Denial' challenge.

This section of the Gris walkthrough covers the game's Prologue, focusing on how Gris interacts with and progresses through the environment. It details the initial movement mechanics, the acquisition of the jump ability, and the introduction of collectible stars that form bridges.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by moving Gris to the right. As she moves, the world will start to take shape.
  2. 2
    After a brief collapse, Gris will gain the ability to jump.
  3. 3
    Optional: Backtrack left to a pillar near where Gris first landed. Observe a collapsed statue. Let Gris fall and get up without touching the controller to complete the First Stage of Grief: Denial challenge.
  4. 4
    Continue forward until you reach a giant rock. Ascend it.
  5. 5
    Proceed until you find a pulsing light, a Star. Absorb it to gain a companion.
  6. 6
    Continue platforming left across crumbling platforms until you see a black mountain.
  7. 7
    Climb the black mountain and collect a second Star.
  8. 8
    A gap will appear, requiring the stars to form a bridge. You do not have enough stars yet.
  9. 9
    Climb stairs to the left of the gap to find a leaning tower. Ascend the zigzagging stairs to the top.
  10. 10
    Your two stars will form a bridge to a smaller tower, where you can collect a third Star.
  11. 11
    Before returning to the gap, mount the first staircase of the leaning tower and jump left. Activate the first Memento by passing over the symbol.
  12. 12
    Return to the gap, and your three stars will form a bridge. Cross it.
  13. 13
    Continue right until you reach a crumbling stone hand. A cutscene will trigger, and you will receive the notification Red - A Color Has Been Brought Back.
  14. 14
    Continue to a giant staircase leading to a temple. At the top, observe a pictogram on the back wall.
  15. 15
    Proceed forward to a blood-red tree. Your star companions will form a constellation in the sky and leave you.
  16. 16
    Continue down the stairs and head right until you slide down a red mountain.
  17. 17
    On flat ground, continue right to a black tower. Gris will automatically climb it, marking the end of the Prologue.
