For the endless canyon, there's a way to do it without using knowledge you shouldn't have. The owl will searching for you if you turn off the lights so don't do it at first. Go to the mansion and do everything to create the bridge inside. After crossing it, go to the right (left will be the archive downstairs) to go to the elevator to access the river. Make it go down but don't go in it. Stays upstairs. When it's done, go back to the start of the level, go through the painting and turn off the lights. Now jump in the water to wake up. Go to the other fire in cinder isles. In starlit cove, just go straight ahead then left and immediately left to light up the building. Go back to it and downstairs to the river where you will take a boat. Cross all the worlds to the last one which is endless canyon. You will be able to take the elevator you made go down and you will be on the other side of the bridge without activating it. You then just have to rush downstairs to the archive.

you only have to deal with the horror moments on the way to the 2nd archive. The 1st and 3rd you can skip completely if you figure out how. And 2nd is almost skippable, if you wait for the tower to fall in the water so all the Antlerians die inside. But it only gives you enough time to watch 1 slide reel before the time loop end and there's 3 in that archive.

Dark Bramble

20:00 "You'll hear a creepy noise but don't worry" me: I'm very worried by that creepy noise

When I played echoes the fear the shrouded woodlands and the starlit cove created prevented from progressing. Hearing the footsteps in the cove... the creepy ass swamp noises in the woodlands... and not being able to see anything was too much. I watched a streamer (Vinny vinesauce) play a little bit (like 40 minutes) and that helped a lot. And I also realized later on the the longer I spent in the dream like world the more comfortable and less on edge I became. But for the first hour of gametime I was there was extremely stressful. Take your time. And don't worry. It's unlikely you will be jumpscared. I can almost guarantee that you will be aware of anything that may want to harm you before it will be aware of you. Just like everything else in the outerwilds you have the benefit of being able to learn about the areas you need to go too and the things you will encounter there. I recommend taking a break from whatever are you are exploring and checking somewhere else out if it gets too stressful or scary. You can do it.

Thanks for making this, I hate that I have to spoil myself but I’m literally too scared to be able to make it through the intended way lol. I appreciate the aesthetic but the playing it part gets me stuck

Thanks a ton for the guide. I love this DLC aside from the parts that make my skin crawl. The horror segments had me not wanting to finish it. I just wanted to learn the story. I wasn't expecting a horror game when I bought this DLC.

Thank you for this! I didn’t want to avoid the horror segments at all, I genuinely enjoyed them. But I just simply could not figure them out was all. I very much enjoyed this game, and the dark areas with the pursuers gave me chills which I thought was masterfully done. But I just could not figure it out in the time I have and with the resets. I could not even remotely see them or hear them at all until it was too late, and I tried baiting and luring but I’d end up cornered every time and I just simply could not see where to go. I really needed this video and I have no regrets using it to help me. Because of your help I was able to finish and enjoy the rest of this otherwise fantastic DLC!! Thanks!!

People aren't put off by the horror element, they are put off by the horrible design of the stealth mechanics which is just extremely frustrating. The owls will always keep their lamps off so you can't anticipate their movement. If you want to escape an owl you must cover your own light but this puts you in 100% darkness. The light radius of the lamp is way too small, you can only see the environment when you're right next to it. Focussing the light beam slows you down and alerts the owls much faster. Only after memorizing the maps and learning through trial and error how the owls work can you maybe navigate the other world. But all the while you're in the timeloop and you will waste so much time on resetting and getting back to the stranger. The point is, navigating the pitch black sections while avoiding owls is extremely frustrating and dogshit design. An ugly blemish on an otherwise so interesting game.

Thank you for this. I liked that I tried a few times to get through these sections but I'm so impressed that there are dev blessed routes to avoiding them entirely. Thank you again for pointing them out!

@@tank19768 I'll tell you, full disclosure that these will give away mechanics and paths that are spoilers. Woodlands: No stealth necessary here - the intended and only way to get through doesn't involve any Elks anyway. Gorge: Go in, create the bridge. Go over to the elevator and send it down, but don't ride it. Turn off the lights and exit the dream. Re-enter from the tower (or the lowlands but be fast in that case) and take the raft back to the gorge. The elevator we sent down earlier now takes us up, past the bridge (that's been deactivated by turning the lights off) and away from the stealth section. There's one last elk downstairs but you can just book it easily. Cove: This one has one forced interaction but it's pretty brief. Turn off the lights and immediately head to the right to take the hand statue over to the start of the area and down the elevator. Here, one elk is blocking the path. Shine light on him and walk around him using the wooden platform. Conceal your light to walk down the stairs and avoid the bells. Now, enter matrix mode and scan the guards paths. My method was simply going straight ahead, keeping on the right platform in the center (not the far right, guard is there) and waiting for the ventral guards shadow. Once that one moves, book it through the door, conceal your lantern and you're done! (Apparently you can also ride an elevator straight down after turning the lights off) With those three done, you can... Do new things!

Youre kind and these explanations are easy to understand, thank you very much.

you made starlit cover sooo much easier for me with this. Thank you! You don't even have to extinguish the light to do your method and you'll encounter zero enemies. Easy-peasy.

I’m glad I solved these myself, but I’m *more* glad this exists because I was VERY CLOSE to noping out on these segments, and a guide like this would have been perfect. Incidentally I used the same solution to area 1 as you! Also that area 3 painting skip was BRAND NEW INFORMATION to me! 🥰

I did it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! This guide couldn't have been more helpful. I'm sorry for bugging you with questions in my other comment but I have intracranial hypertension and long story short it caused me to have brief episodes of total blindness before I got diagnosed/treated. Which meant I saw NOTHING but black. I was already scared of the dark before that, and I love me some silent hill or resident evil, but something about that dark view was tough for me to handle, gives me a headache thinking about it. 😆 So thank you very much from the bottom of my soul. This guide was Perfecto! And your reassurance in the video was very much appreciated.

For the endless canyon part, I found that in the area where the bridge appears to take you to the other side and down to the painting, you can drop off a cliff and strafe back to land on the top of the stairs taking you to the painting room. You will not die of fall damage.

I felt really accomplished and used the lantern technique to happily and shamelessly cheese Starlit cove by just jumping down to the well, then, in the final part, spent minutes in the glitched space routing the perfect path to the end, which I inevitably failed so many times that the loop ended. But still, got it eventually, lol.

21:44 you can totally light that bridge without running into any scares too if you go into the building with the lights still on, though yeah using the invisible bridge makes you avoid the spooky boi entirely I suppose. Shit cray. So tech you don't need to go into the horror segment to extend the bridge but you need to in order to cross the bridge normally.

You can actually reach the lowlands archive from the underworld area, so you don't need to go through the fireplace at all.

You can do parts 2 and 3 without knowing about the dying trick or the going out of range of your lantern trick. For the 2nd part, you can skip it by lighting up the dock, then going to the 3rd temple and boating to the dock. The 2nd temple falls underwater near the end of the loop, killing all the strangers so you won’t have to stealth past them. For the 3rd part, you can also set up the dock by taking the elevator down, drowning yourself, then going back in to extinguish the lights. Then, go to the 2nd temple and boat over to skip all except the last stranger.

So I understand that some people get scared easily and therefore don’t want to face this part of the game but what you could’ve done for Cinder Isles/Starlit Cove is to find the easiest path possible where you need to encounter none of those creatures or the least amount of it which would allow the player to skip this part without ruining the rest of the game. Or else, why would you bother doing a skip part and not simply give the solution to end the DLC, which would be the same at this point.

Come on, the video IS a spoiler in itself, obviously some of the comments would talk about what was done in the video… Plus, I made the comment so people could guess there would be a spoiler so they could leave before the spoiler appear, in the case they would start to read the first line without thinking about the potential spoiler.

There are two owls in the end of statlit cove now though , I really enjoy outer wilds , but those isn't just horror anymore , it's freaking annoying

yeah it sucks that the only way i could progress there was to use the hidden valley fire and run into the well when owls die because i couldn't get past them

absolutely loved the first half of this dlc exploring the new areas right up until the stealth parts that are just the absolute bottom of the barrel frustrating, boring and cheap game design that i would never have expected to end up in a game this perfect :( thank you for this video i had completely given up trying to get past this annoying horror part and lost my motivation in continuing the dlc but i'll give it another shot

How am I supposed to know that If I die it doesn’t reset but put my in the dream world?!🤯

Dude the Hidden Gorge is way too hard. That bridge stalker is right in the path and caught me at least a dozen times over multiple time loops. When I did get past him by luck I either got caught by the dining room stalker or the supernova got to me before I could finish. It makes it seem like your using the wrong approach. Thanks for the guide to avoid it. I would've been fine with it if was more like the upstairs stalker that you can much more easily lure and then go around, just to find there is nothing up there...

Anyone trying to skip the spooky section is missing the whole point of the story. You're just making the same mistake the strangers committed

There was a horror section?

There are a couple of sections where you must remain undetected and be chased by something in the dark

Perfect, just what I wanted. Sucks I had to spoil a bit but still a bit more enjoyable way to do it. After such great exploration, this was just not what I was in the mood for. Feel like they tried to recreate the angler fish moments but this wasn't the same feel.

I did this on accident.

I actually discovered the invisible bridge skip in endless canyon completely by accident without knowing about matrix mode, I decided to try and jump into the water from where the elevator is, and when I jumped I just stopped in midair. I thought it was a glitch haha

So, you have to use the secret mechanics to avoid to do the scary parts, to learn the secret mechanics you just used. What's the point

The point is that, from a gameplay perspective, by going against something fearsome you learned a knowledge. And that knowledge ( that everything was basically a game ) render the whole situation that you found frightening completly obsolete and artificial. But you were able to do it ! Contrary to that new species of owlmen... They were afraid and they chose to escape from that reality, they were cowards that couldn't confront their fears... And they paid a terrible price for it ! So in a way, the gameplay experience completely complement the story because really, once you accept what is in front of you, it's not that frightening anymore.

You don't actually need to use the secret mechanics to avoid any of the horror segments. The tower falls in the last 2 minutes of the loop killing all the strangers giving you just enough time to get to the archive and watch the reels, although not ideal. For the mansion you can go through it normally with the lights on, send the elevator down and then blow out the lights and come in from a different painting to skip using the invisible bridge.

it's kinda make me confused, how most people complaining about how some horrors are not scary or just hilarious (like security breach, and unity mobile horrors) which makes me die from heart attacks and shaking hard a hour or few but when they see game without jumpscares and cute owl creatures they saying all that this is pretty scary??? okay, i am pretty weaknerve person and can die from any scary thing from heart stop, but this part in outer wilds are not so scary for me, i just running around and don't care about anything

Using the reward knowledge for bypassing the segment to bypass the segment is kinda advice in bad faith. You might as well outright show the slides themselves per segment For the well you can either wait until the Owls die near the end of the loop and sprint to the room, or you can cheeze by jumping from a bridge to a rock and enter by slipping behind the alarm bell. and you didnt even need to show the matrix trick for the manor one dude lol.

I’m going to add a spoiler free way to do this below, A lot of this relies on spoilers to explain, The Well rewards the player by explaining that you can die to bypass alarms, and similarly the Canyon reward is explaining that you can drop the light to see hidden walkways. If you spoil them in the solutions, they don’t even need to go through it in the first place you’ve given them the info they will get as a reward they can just go right to the endgame. For getting into the well what I did was blow out the lights, reset by jumping in the water then walk across the bridge, go to the left and there’s a sloped rock right above the cave that leads to the well, just jump over the rail and walk down that with the light off. And for the section below instead of hugging the left just walk right down the middle. You can see the center guards antlers backlit by the wall so once he turns his back just go across the bridge and your good. And for the Endless Canyon, just go through normally, make the bridge then drop the elevator without you in it. Reset in the water then blow the lights out. Reset again but instead go in through a dif entrance (like the Woods for example) and just take a raft to the elevator you dropped, then the rest is the same, just gun it.

isn't it the only and intented way for the first one? I have not seen any other way to do that yet! but all these part have been the worse of all outer wild for me they are not even scary to me, just tedious and fustrating: - the first one took me way too long to get when it's one of the very few things that take advantage of the dam breaking - the second one almost made me give up. even after spoiling me you can have the "ghost view" by droping the artefact to know better what is ahead, i had to cheese the 3 owlguys in the pit. - the last one after a few failed attempt, i've send the lift down before turning off the light so i could come back from an other 'world'. long story short, only the last one felt nicely done to me. i feel like it miss some more info in the real world to get past them. and even now I know more, i still feel a bit like if it been like you had no other choices than outruning the fish in the main game indeed those info are also what let you know how to solve 2 of the 3 very last puzzle, but there are trivial anyway compare to these 3 worlds, and it would not be such a bad things if those where just optionnal to get the full lore

That is in fact the intended way for the first one, although not quite the only way. If you already have knowledge of the trick you learn at the end of it (this is a pattern for these, I think) you can simply go straight to where the reels are from there.

Something else you can do for the sencond one is deactivate the light like intended and jump into the water to reset. Then walk out of the tower and instead of turning left or right, just jump right over the barrier. You will land pretty much exactly in front of the bridge you gotta cross and avoid every single owl the trick in the video avoids. Only real difference is you don't have to die to do it.

Take the real horror sections, the sections that are lighter in horror but only in retrospect, and factor in the amount of time you're spending trying to figure out puzzles while fumbling in the dark and shitting your pants. Show that to the people claiming the DLC is only partly horror. It's like... 60% of it lol

I mean as someone who has completed the DLC, no, not really. Unless you're scared of the dark and class that as horror. The only part that was genuinely scary or frustrating was getting to the Forbidden Archive in the Endless Canyon. Other than that it was superb

@@captainclipy6236 I wish it was as simple as you described, but the amount or trial and error involved, the fact that the tiniest mistake can reset your progress, and how hard it is to see things are the what make it so frustrating.

@Momiji it's no more unnecessary than the Anglerfish in Dark Bramble. Sure, they don't have to be there to make it as impactful as it was, but having them there didn't really take away from anything either

You should really state clear: END GAME SOILERS ahead!

I'm gonna be honest. This DLC is total disspointment. I was so excited at first, but then I started getting annoyed running around in the dark not knowing what to do trying to find something in a complete dark enviroment is just annoying. So I googled what the hell I'm even supposed to do and where to go. Wouldn't find out on my own - focusing light on a specific part in a dark forest to progress like wtf? Then I got to the stealth parts and that was it for me. Had fun for the first hour or so then it was just being miserable and regreting paying full price for the DLC.

@@Cavar21 It'll basically change up the behavior of these Owls, so that instead of their current behavior - that being how they turn their lights on to investigate further, creep up slowly and charge at you with a scary sound effect. Instead of that they will no longer turn on their lights, meaning they will only see you if YOU have your light on, as well as they will no longer charge at you, but instead walk VERY slowly towards you. Of course, if you do get caught, your light will still get blown out by them, but there's no scary/eerie music or any creepy sound effects playing. If you're struggling with it, but don't really want to give up with the DLC, then I'd honestly recommend you to try enabling this, as the slower walk combined with their increased lack of awareness, given that they'll now only notice you if YOU have your light on, made it a lot easier for me to figure things out and get it done! I hope that helps though, sorry to hear it didnt turn out to be that much of an enjoyable experience, although I personally had a great time with it!

Uhh... when do you have to focus your light on a random spot to progress? I know there's a SHORTCUT in the forest where you point your light at a hand to get to the other side of the river, but you don't have to take it, I think, and you can easily discover it from the other side.
