Delsin Rowe

Follow this comprehensive guide to navigate Delsin Rowe's journey in Hyper Light Breaker, covering spray painting, rooftop traversal, and environmental puzzles.

Delsin (that's you) will start on a rooftop with some spray paint and a billboard. Turn your controller vertically and shake it. Once the prompt appears to use R2 to spray, you can turn the controller back horizontally if that is easier. Spray all uncovered areas (which include slanted vertical lines running from the top down the billboard). If you can't find the spots, just cover the entire thing. After you fill it all, you'll start over again with black this time and spray again.

Once done with that, you'll see a cutscene and be put into a building Climb up the stairs and take the open back door onto the deck. Move right and drop off of the deck onto the rooftops below. Walk straight forward and down the rooftops. This will bring you to a dock area. Turn left and climb the ladder on the large red tank. If you fall into the water, press on the touchpad to start over.

Take a running jump to the next red tank and then walk off the back of that onto the pier beyond. Stairs on the pier will take you down to the shore. Follow the shoreline and climb along the broken down wooden bridge. At the end of the bridge, you'll see some planks stuck into the rock wall. Run up that and grab the white ledge. Slide left to find another section of bridge/pier.

Follow the cave to another section of beach with an empty rowboat to the right. Jump onto the large rock with the fallen tree to your left. Cross the tree and then hop to the next large rock ahead. Get on the next broken pier and follow it between two large, tall rocks. Just past those are some shorter rocks that you can climb on to. Hop onto the first one and then make your way along the rocks with the grass. At the end of these, you'll find another wall with planks stuck to it. Climb that and make your way to the right.

You'll find a small section with a jutting rock leading towards your destination. Jump off the rock onto the next landing. Jump up the wall ahead where the red planks are and slide left. Climb up and head for the front door. Slide your finger from left to right across the touchpad to open the door.
