Acquiring the Heavy Form

Learn how to navigate Gris's crumbling world, master the jump ability, and find all the Stars and Mementos in the Prologue section of our walkthrough.

Hey there! So, you've just started your journey in Gris and found yourself in a pretty rough spot, huh? Don't worry, we've all been there. After that big fall, you'll find Gris collapsed on the ground. The first thing you need to do is just get her moving. Point the left joystick to the right, and she'll get up and start walking. Just keep moving forward, and you'll see the world start to come back together around her.

You'll eventually collapse again after passing through some fog. When you get up this time, you'll notice Gris can move a bit faster. Even better, she's now gained the ability to jump! It's like she's a little bird, ready to take flight.

Five Stages of Grief: Denial

Now, this is a cool little secret. After you get the jump ability, try heading back to the left for a bit. You'll see a small pillar, and near it, a collapsed statue. Get close to the statue and let Gris fall and get up on her own. Crucially, don't touch the controller at all during this. If you do it right, you'll get a notification on the screen: First Stage of Grief: Denial. There are five of these 'stages' to find throughout the game, so keep an eye out for these subtle challenges!

Constellation Bridges

Alright, back to moving forward. The world gets a bit rocky here, and you'll climb a big rock. When you leap over the edge, there's no going back, so just keep pushing right.

You'll eventually come across a small, pulsing light. This is a Star! Walk up to it, and Gris will absorb it, gaining a little companion. Keep going past where you found the first Star. Look for some crumbling platforms – the first one has a tree with upside-down triangular leaves. Hop on those and keep platforming to the left until you see a black mountain going up to your right.

Not too far up this mountain, you'll find your second Star. Now, a little further on, you'll see a big gap between structures. This is where your Star companions come in handy! They can create bridges for you, but you don't have enough lights yet to cross this one. Luckily, there's a third Star nearby. Head up the stairs on the left, and you'll find a large leaning tower. Climb the stairs on this tower, and once you reach the top, your two little Star companions will automatically create a bridge to a smaller tower nearby, where you can collect your third Star.

Memento #1

Before you head back to that gap, there's a collectible you won't want to miss. Go up the first set of stairs on the leaning tower, then jump to the left. You'll see a symbol on the ground – this is one of the game's Mementos. Just walk over it to activate it. There are more of these to find, but this is the first one!

Now, return to the gap. Your three Star companions will form a bridge, so cross it and keep heading right. You'll reach a crumbling stone hand, and a short cutscene will play. You'll also get a notification: Red - A Color Has Been Brought Back. These color challenges are tied to completing each chapter, so don't worry if you don't get them all at once.
