Röki – Chapter 3: Castle Walkthrough

To my regret, this is not a completionist guide. Though, of course, I will mention every collectible item. Feel free to mention any collectible I hadn’t and where you have found it and I will update my guide.

General Tips

There are explorer’s notes I didn’t mention, but keep in mind to check them while playing as Henrik. Anyway, checking the locations while spamming the F button will make it easier to find everything.

Also keep in mind to talk to your dad/daughter as frequently as you can, especially after solving the puzzles, and to the dark creatures aka crows in the cells as so, there are achievements related.

The Coast And The Main Yard

• HENRIK: walk around the left corner and pick up the climbing piton on top of the box. Then pull the metal plate out of the wolf’s bust on the right of the gates walk around the right corner and pull the grates aside.
• TOVE: walk around the left corner and pick up the arrowhead, then squeeze between the grates around the right corner and run to the opposite side. Climb the wall and go outside through the hole in it, there you can find the second metal plate and heavy rock. Go back and insert the plates into holes behind the main lower gates.
• HENRIK: climb the ladder on the right and place the rock on the counterweight thing. Go down and stand on the flagstone in the center.
• TOVE: pull the lever on the wall to the left of the gates.

Proceed to the next location with both characters.

• TOVE: check the blue banner on the wall beside the left bottom gates. Run straight and you will find a red puddle in front of the gates. Inspect it and get oily seeds. Go left and climb the wall, then go right and pick up the spear, in the same room, to the left, beside the exit, you will find a studded eyepatch.
• HENRIK: use the spear on the well in the middle of the yard.
• TOVE: climb down the well, pick up the keystone from the bucket on your left, run to the right, and squeeze between the grates. Pay attention to the hammer on the wall and on the closed cells and run to the right to the room with crows, the second guy has the key. Don’t forget to check the banner.

• HENRIK: walk outside and use a hammer and piton on the crack in the wall to the right.
• TOVE: walk outside and climb the wall and pull the lever.

Proceed to the next location.

Right Part Of The Yard

• HENRIK: pull the lever on the top left of the wall, to the right you will find the crates, use the spear on them to obtain the old book. Walk up the stairs and pick up the lucky card on the stones on the left. On the crate to the right, you’ll find another keystone, walk up the stairs again and pick up the climbing piton on the wall beside the collapsed floor. Go downstairs and use a hammer and piton on the crack on the wall, then go downstairs again and place yourself on the left side of the cart.
• TOVE: interact with the crow on the bench and pick up the doll. Then walk up the cart and pick up the tile. Go upstairs and climb the wall and pick the fruit.
• HENRIK: walk upstairs twice and open the cell.
• TOVE: walk upstairs and place the fruit in the cell then climb the wall and untie the rope. Walk upstairs and pick the old brooch on the right, then go left to the next stairs, go down and pick the fruit and check the banner.
• HENRIK: follow up to the place you have Tove left and pick up the shovel. Go back up, pull the lever and open the cell, repeat the procedure of catching the crow.
• TOVE: pick up the gear, climb the wall and pick the fruit, repeat the procedure (be aware that crow won’t enter the cell if the previous cells are up and shown) run to the place where two crows stood, here you’ll find another gear and fruit, repeat the procedure. When the path is clear, run to the collapsed tower where two crows stood and pick up the ancient key.
• HENRIK: Go to the right and open the door with the key. Here, in the tower, push the shield to the side and knock down the chest’s lock with a hammer to obtain the keystone.
• TOVE: you’ll find the tile behind the shield.

The door in the tower leads downstairs to the yard, leading both characters down.

Left Part Of The Yard

• HENRIK: use the shovel on the ground in front of the gates on the left top.
• TOVE: crawl under the gates and pull the lever the clear the path for Henrik. You’ll find a torch on the stairs below and the stone on the stairs on the left, go up and stand on the right side of the cart
• HENRIK: run to the left till the end and pick up another stone, place them both on the right side of the cart so you could reach the gear. Grind the seeds you found earlier in the mortar and place the gear in the mechanism on the left, grease the gear with the oily thing and lower the gate, then place the gear in the mechanism on the right and fill the well with water.
• TOVE: climb down the wall and enter the crack. Here in the dark, you’ll find the axe, walk to the right and climb the ladder, check out the banner, and pick the book up.
• HENRIK: use the axe on the door on the left, enter the room and pick up the dried fish face from the floor and the hook on the pile of stones. Try to pick up the key in the middle of the room and then pull up the right top floorboard.
• TOVE: go back down to the dark cellar, open the chest and get the rope.
• HENRIK: pull up the left bottom floorboard
• TOVE: open the chest and get the torch.
• HENRIK: pull up the left top floorboard
• TOVE: pick up the spindle whorl.
• HENRIK: pull up the floorboard in the middle.
• TOVE: combine the rope with the hook and the spear and pick up the key.
• HENRIK: open the door on the back, go up and move the stone to get the keystone. You already have two torches and the last one is in this room but in the wrong place. Pay attention to the marks on the torches and on the torch stands and place all three of them correctly. Turn them all and the doors will open. Go to the left one and pick up a coin.
• TOVE: go to the room where Henrik was moving floorboards, climb up the wall to get another tile. Go through the right door and pick up the ceremonial knot from the top of the wall. Go to Henrik.
• HENRIK: under the table, you’ll find the tiny silver spoon, exit through the right door, and run up the stairs and to the left, here’s a collectible – lichen. Go right, into the tower, and here take another tile off the wall.

Now that we have all tiles, we can solve the puzzle in the dining room. In the middle of the wall, there’s a plate with hints, but if you need the answer it’s here – place the tiles in the following order: spring – winter – autumn – summer.

The banners you were seeing during the playthrough contain the hint for the next part of the puzzle. Playing as Henrik, standing on the floor tiles, and playing as Tove, press the tiles in the statues. You can see the answer here: wolf – spring, crow – winter, bear – autumn, stag – summer.

• TOVE: squeeze through the opened hole, here in the tunnel you’ll find the book. Go up the ladder and leave the room.

Lead both characters to the tower with the bookcase. Place the books on the shelves according to the titles you can read interacting with them. The answer is upper shelf – book with a fish, middle one – book with a tree, bottom one – book with a bird. Pick up the ring and lead the characters to the right side of the yard downstairs.

Right Part Of The Yard Again And The End

Pressing the wolf statue in the middle will give you a hint how to solve it, if you wish, you can find the answer here: on the right of the statue you can see an orb, it’s the sun, place the keystones clockwise starting from the right hole: sunrise – stars – sunset – sun. The second part of the puzzle is about timing. You will have to move all the ‘sliders’, but you can’t just move them all at once, only one small and one big can be moved at the same time. Tove moves small ones and Henrik can move big ones. So just pull the first two sliders up, ‘start’ the sun, and switching between characters, move other sliders at the right time so the sun could continue its way till the end.

• TOVE: squeeze through the hole and go downstairs. In the tunnel, you can find a collectible gem. The path leads you to the cell you couldn’t get to earlier. Take the ring off the crow’s hand and go back upstairs.

Then get both characters on top of both towers and insert the rings on the sides of the gate lifting mechanism. Now you’re awesome and can proceed to the next location. In case you frequently talked to your dad/daughter during your playthrough, now you can talk once again after opening the gates and get the achievement. Walk upstairs till the first landing and play as Henrik enters the collapsed tower on the right to get the piece of the torn flag. Then walk to the very top and play as Tove collects the toenail clipping on the left of the left lever. Lead her into the cell and make Henrik lift her up with a lever.

A cutscene and another nightmare will follow, but there is nothing interesting or difficult in there, so just enjoy the ending of the game.
