Prologue

Learn how to complete the Prologue in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, including how to get Kuro's feather and help Ku fly.

Hey there! So you're diving into Ori and the Will of the Wisps? Awesome choice! The game's prologue is a really sweet introduction to the story and the world, and while you *can* skip it, I really recommend playing through it at least once. It sets up everything that's about to happen, especially with our little owl friend, Ku.

So, the story kicks off after Ku, Kuro's owlet, is born. Naru, Gumo, and Ori all pitch in to raise her, treating her like their own. As Ku grows, they try to teach her to fly, but you quickly see she's got a bum wing – she can't take to the skies. Ori, being the resourceful little guy he is, comes up with a plan.

Here's what you need to do: Head to the tree where Ori keeps his stuff. From there, go west and use the rope to swing open the door. Once inside the tree, climb up. In the top-left corner, you'll find Kuro's feather. This magical feather is key – it grants Ori the ability to glide! Grab it and head back to Ku.

Once you're back, Gumo will attach the feather to Ku's wing. Now, Ori hops on her back, and you get to experience your first taste of flight! You'll be able to double jump and glide. As you move to the right, you'll pass a wooden platform. See that stone just ahead? Jump off it, double jump, and then glide. This will lead you to a tree branch where you can find a nest. Inside, you'll spot a drawing of Kuro on the tree – a nice little nod to the past. Keep heading right, and you'll see the stars align to form Kuro's image in the sky. Pretty neat, huh?

After that, just drop down from the tree and keep pushing right until you reach the end of the area. A cutscene will play, wrapping up the prologue and kicking off the main adventure. Enjoy the ride!
