Complete walkthrough for The Lake area in The Drifter, including Central Town, Soccer Field, Eastern Dregs, and The Lake secrets.
Walkthrough
- 1In Central Town, buy the DASH SHIELD at the Dash Arena and your first ROLY POLY at the Tech Shop.
- 2To get the NATURAL LEADER achievement, head West toward the exit, then South to a small area with a painter. Stand in front of him, wait for a snail to appear, and remain still.
- 3To get the MEDITATION achievement, continue waiting for a very long time.
- 4Walk West past the Weapons Shop and South to a newly opened area.
- 5At the Soccer Field, score 10 goals before your adversary to gain access to a reward. A winning strategy is to push the ball slightly up and to the left, then dash it left and down directly into the adversary's goal. This rewards the STAR ATHLETE achievement.
- 6Head back to the main plaza and proceed through the East exit toward The Lake.
- 7Upon entering the Eastern Dregs, immediately go South to find a [REWARD] and the [REWARD]. Make your way East until stopped by a river. Dash North to find a hidden path leading to the [REWARD] / [REWARD].
- 8Head back to the main path and follow the Southern passage, grabbing another [REWARD] on the way to the next area.
- 9In The Lake, immediately head South to find the [REWARD]. Follow the main path, talk to The Ninja, who will give you the location of The Emperor. Dash to the exit but instead of taking it, walk North on a very small path and dash to a secret section leading to two invisible switches and the [REWARD].
- 10Proceed to the next area. Kill your first Ninja Toads. Go to the South Eastern part of this first platform; the camera will show you the [REWARD].
- 11Follow the main path to the exit and find a [REWARD] close to it.
- 12Take the elevator to the next area. Follow the main path to an intersection at the bottom of a staircase and take the South Western path to get to the [REWARD], then the Eastern path to get to another elevator.
- 13Dash North three times and take the Western exit to get the [REWARD] / [REWARD]. Go back to the previous area, follow the main path, and activate the teleporter.
- 14Head North into the temple to talk to The Otter Prisoner. Go back to the teleporter, dash East, and continue South to the next area.
- 15Follow the main path and find a [REWARD] if you walk around the trees North West of the elevator.
- 16Walk South, kill the Plant Beastlings and the Dirk Rifleman. Collect the two [REWARD]s if needed and activate the switch. Break the first crate you see for another [REWARD].
- 17You will be ambushed by Plant Beastlings and Plant Beasts. Open the Southern door and head East at the intersection.
- 18Kill the Dirk Riflemen for the [REWARD], then collect the [REWARD] on the South end if needed. Aim East to locate and shoot a distant switch. Walk this new path and into the South wall behind the switch to find a secret room with a [REWARD].
- 19Head North into a room with monsters and the [REWARD]. Head back to the previous section, activate the nearby switch, and continue back to the intersection. Take the Western path and activate the switch at the end.
- 20Go back to the intersection and take the South way. Pick up the [REWARD] on the South end if you wish, then continue West past flaming platforms to a big crate you can break for another [REWARD].
- 21Use chain dashes to get past nearby flaming platforms, leading to the [REWARD]. Make your way back out of these platforms, continue North, take the [REWARD], activate the switch, and follow the Eastern path. Grab another [REWARD], walk East, and open the Northern door.
- 22When the road goes West, walk East into the wall to find the [REWARD] / [REWARD]. Go back to the other side, kill Dirk Riflemen for the [REWARD], and follow this path to find a [REWARD] and the [REWARD].
- 23Activate the nearby switch and jump down to the elevator.
- 24Grab the [REWARD] if needed. Follow the main path to a room filled with monsters you need to kill to get the [REWARD] and open the path North.
- 25Before walking North, head West to a [REWARD] and the [REWARD] hidden behind furniture. Open the 1-key door nearby.
- 26As you enter, look on the West wall for a piece of platform. Dash there to get the [REWARD] / [REWARD]. Continue South past flames. Dash on the small platforms against the West wall to get to a [REWARD], or follow the path to an intersection on small platforms.
- 27From the intersection, head West to find the [REWARD], then back and South to another [REWARD] and the [REWARD].
- 28Dash on the small platform nearby and the one after to find and activate an invisible switch, revealing a path to the ORANGE OUTFIT.
- 29Travel all the way back out of this area and take the North door in the next one to get to an elevator and back outside.
- 30Instead of following The Jackal, dash on the Eastern platforms to get the [REWARD]. Head North to meet The Guardian again; he will show you the locations of four Modules.
- 31Continue West and follow the Northern path to a small platform with an invisible switch, revealing a way to the [REWARD]. Go back to the main path, dash East to a platform leading North (do not go yet). Shoot a distant switch on the East.
- 32Follow this road to the [REWARD], the [REWARD], and a step-on switch, which creates a way back to the beginning of the area. Head there and follow the main path to the next area.
