Embark on your Journey with our comprehensive walkthrough. Discover how to navigate The Beginning, The Bridge, The Desert, The Descent, The Tunnels, The Temple, The Mountain, and The Summit.

This is a brief summary walkthrough of Journey. The primary goal is to reach the mountain. Along the way, you can collect glyphs and symbols. This walkthrough outlines a possible route, but exploring on your own is also encouraged.

Consider collecting PS3 Trophies, Ancient Glyphs, or Glowing Symbols in addition to the main path.

The Beginning

Start by walking up the sand dune. Collect your first glowing symbol near the rubble. Head towards the mountain to enter "The Hub," where you can find two more symbols. Ascend the middle tower and fly to the glowing area.

The Bridge

In this area, you can find three glowing symbols. To rebuild the bridge, hold the Circle button near the long pieces of cloth. Once rebuilt, cross it to the next section.

The Desert

Encounter Cloth Creatures that can help you fly. Follow them or head towards the mountain. In the sandstorm area, use cloth creatures to climb a tower. At the top, hold Circle to release more creatures and proceed.

You can find the Hidden Desert Flower in this area for a trophy.

The Descent

Surf down through a ruined city. Gliding through 15 columns earns the Adventure trophy. During a resting period, use Circle on long pieces of cloth to create a cloth fragment cyclone for the next surfing segment.

The Tunnels

Evade Guardians with spotlights. Being caught in a red spotlight will cause your scarf to be torn. You will encounter new cloth types that allow you to 'swim' through the air and jellyfish-like cloths for boosts.

Continue through the tunnels, avoiding monsters. At the end, surf through a magical barrier to finish the level.

The Temple

Find glyphs and hold Circle to illuminate them, causing magical water to rise. Swim through the air to power up quickly. Four glyphs are needed to raise the water to the top. Climb the central tower to continue.

It's possible to bypass raising the water by reaching higher platforms. If you reach the side room without raising the water significantly, you can see and play on a whale swimming on the ceiling.

The Mountain

This is the most challenging and emotionally taxing level. The snow drains your scarf's energy. Battle strong winds by hiding behind stones and evade flying spotlight monsters. You will weaken as you progress, eventually sinking into the snow.

The Summit

A being will awaken you and send you flying to the mountain's summit. With a full scarf and unlimited energy, fly to the top to reach your final destination.
