Firmament

Walkthrough for Firmament

Cliff

We enter the game after a short initial video and meeting the previous Guardian in the form of a ghostly girl.

We are approaching an unknown device on the table, called “Adjunct”. Press LMB to take it from the table. We look around.

We approach the table on which lies a lone book (1/15). We carefully study all sections of this tutorial on managing the game. After that, we go up the stairs to the left.

We stop in front of a locked door. We follow the instructions on the screen.

Press the ” E ” key to open the door. Press RMB and enter the next room.

We stop in front of other locked doors. We execute the same commands.

Activate the connector on the ceiling. Press the “E” key to raise the bunker. We go outside. We go right towards the bridge.

We connect to the connector on the console near the bridge. Press the ” E ” key to raise the bridge. We continue along the bridge.

Climb up the stairs on the right. We continue to move in the direction of the crane.

On a crane

From the console we turn to the metal ladder, we approach it as close as possible. We click LMB and automatically go upstairs.

We connect to the connector and find out that the adjunct has a second “Forward / Back” crane control function, which can be connected with the “TAB” key.

We press the “Q” key to drive the platform with the capture back to the glacial quarry. We bring the platform back to the stop. Again, press the “Q” key to lower the capture to the very end. As soon as a block of ice is in the grip, the grip lifts automatically with an ice cube. Press the “E” key to bring the grip with ice closer to the quarry.

We align the grip so that the ice becomes a kind of bridge over the failure. We look at the finished solution in the screenshot. Let’s split up. We turn to the ladder, click LMB and automatically go down.

We connect to the connector on the bottom platform of the crane. We raise the first half of the bridge. We go down the screen.

Neighborhood of Curivale

Turn right at the lamppost. We pass between two boulders. We continue down the narrow path. We cross the ice bridge.

We connect with the connector on the bridge, raise the second half of the bridge. We move on, we pass by the blue capsule (we will return to it a little later). We approach another bridge.

We connect with the connector on the console, lower half of the bridge.

We approach the very edge of the lowered half of the bridge so that we can reach the connector on the other half of the bridge as an adjunct. We connect and lower the second half of the bridge, which leads to a locked door. We turn around and head to the blue capsule.

Open the door of the transport capsule. We connect with the connector inside the capsule. Use the “Tab” key to change the control mode in the adjunct and charge it by pressing the “E” button. Then we automatically move to the kingdom  “Swan”.

Swan

We leave the capsule, follow forward.

We read the information on the stand. After that, we go to the right to the living quarters. We go into the open cabin  on the right. We get into the living quarters of our mentor.

We take the book (2/15) from the table, which contains the verses of the Guardians and the parable of the Guardians. We pay attention to the next book (3/15), which turns out to be the diary of our mentor. We read it.

We go out into the corridor. Now we go into another cabin through the open doors. We find a book (4/15) on the table, leaf through it. This is again poetry and a parable about the Keepers. We leave in the lobby and follow now to another compartment.

In the left room, some names are written on the wall. Our mentor confesses that she put them all to bed and put them to sleep. In the room on the right we read a table about the “Vigil of the Guardians”.

In another living compartment in an open room, we find another book (5/15) of verses. We look at the posters on the wall.

We go out into the lobby, go around and find another book (6/15) on the table. We decide to return to Curivale. We follow to the blue transport capsule.

With the help of the adjunct, we open the door to the capsule. Inside, we connect with the connector, charge the adjunct and move to the previous location.

Curivale

We leave the capsule and move to the left side.

Cliff

On the previously lowered bridge, we head to the second crane near the locked doors. We climb the stairs to the second tier of the crane.

On a crane

We connect to the connector on the console. We raise the ice cube on the claw of the capture up to the stop. We switch to movement and move the platform with the ice cube to the top platform of the crane.

On a moving platform

Let’s go to the platform. We connect to the connector in the center of the platform and move it forward a little.

We separate and approach the very edge of the back of the platform. We reach the connector on the console of the crane. We lower the ice cube down, because otherwise it will cling to rocky ledges.

Note . If you moved too far from the crane platform and you can’t connect to the connector on it, then try to go back a little and stand on the very edge of the platform.

After that, we reconnect to the connector on the site and move forward. We stop the platform at the entrance to the cave on the right.

Cliff

We go deep into the cave. We open the heavy door with the help of the adjunct. We return to the upper platform of the second crane.

On a crane

We connect to the connector on the console. Dropping a block of ice. We switch to the movement and adjust the platform as close as possible to the building visible in front. We go down to the platform. Follow the path through the cave to the bridge.

Our Verdict

Very good

A game of very high quality. Although some aspects might have been executed better, we would recommend this game without hesitation.

As you wander Firmament’s splendid landscapes, the narrative builds to a heartening finale — but be prepared to strenuously exercise your brain along the way.
