Walkthrough for "Don't Look Down", the climax of Chapter 1 in Life is Strange: True Colors. Learn how to calm Ethan and cross the log.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When Ryan asks Alex if she's okay, choose any dialogue option as they do not significantly impact this scripted setpiece.
  2. 2
    Move the left stick forward to guide Alex slowly and carefully onto the log towards Ethan.
  3. 3
    As Alex approaches Ethan, she will be in range of his fear. To get closer, give Ethan words of encouragement.
  4. 4
    Hold A (or X on PlayStation) to tune into Ethan's emotional state and understand his perspective.
  5. 5
    Move the right stick to focus on different objects: the comics, the bag, and the ruts in the cliff wall that resemble claw marks.
  6. 6
    After understanding Ethan's fear, move the left stick forward to guide Alex and Ethan across the log, similar to how Alex crossed it earlier.
  7. 7
    Once close enough, a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (an in-game cinematic) will play.
Tips
  • Dialogue options in this scene have minimal impact; focus on the objective.
  • Don't worry about falling off the log; it's a safe scripted event.
  • Understanding Ethan's fear by tuning into his emotions is key to progressing.
