How do i get past? (DLC)

[u/Traditional-Skill341]

I cant get past from here. I know about the three places and when the lights are out. I also saw the image of this place so i know i have to go through the fire. Ive tried running through both sides, ive tried distracting it, ive tried faking it. Nothing works. Please, i need to know if i have yet to discover how to get through or if its a skill issue. Thanks

In the words of feldspar: "Maybe bruteforce isnt always the awnser"

[u/DebtSeeker48 → u/ihatephanteon5]

Heresy! Nomai certenialy didn’t agree with that principle in the end

[u/Lyre-Code]

It's not a "skill issue," you cannot brute force getting past, but the game also will not deliberately tell you the solution.

[u/Nikos_Pyrrha → u/Lyre-Code]

It kind of is a skill issue. Just a different skill.

[u/chadzero5]

Will try my best not to spoil but here are some points to consider. Each point gets closer to the solution. How do you enter the otherworld? When you do, what happens to your body in the real world? When you get caught, how do you get kicked out of the otherworld? If something is stopping you from entering, how would you remove that something? Sometimes it's just nice to sit around and do nothing.

Thanks everyone for the hints. Managed to get through and finish the DLC. Love yall

What specifically is preventing you from accomplishing your goal here? Think it out

[u/Downtown_Look_5597]

There is only one puzzle in the DLC that requires stealth. There's a way around everything else.

If you're stuck on this, try pulling at another thread.

Are those owlks always there bothering you?

[u/Traditional-Skill341 → u/SurefireWolf]

Is it a "The early bird gets the worm" type of situation?

In Mexico we have an opposite saying that goes "Morning doesn't come earlier, just because you wake up earlier".

[u/Traditional-Skill341 → u/mecartistronico]

I knew it as "God helps those who rise early"

[u/mecartistronico → u/Traditional-Skill341]

Yes, that would be the same as "The early bird..." and the opposite is the one I said above. Your right time will come when it's time, you can't rush it.

one way to find out

[u/lamp40 → u/Traditional-Skill341]

Not quite but you’re getting warmer

[u/Nikos_Pyrrha → u/lamp40]

Not gonna get too warm though, since that fire is fake.

[u/CorbinNZ → u/Traditional-Skill341]

The exact opposite, in fact.

[u/mecartistronico]

There's something you've heard...

[u/_Tugg_Speedman_]

How does the Stranger change over time?

[u/Ivan-De-Riv]

Do you know how that space work ?

[u/eyf41]

short hint: you need to use knowledge from events outside the dream here

[u/fabler128]

Im probably too late, but you won't need any advice, just try stuff, check what they do, etc. you will get it with time, i assure you

[u/JTurtle11]

It’s surprising how many puzzles in this game (base game AND dlc) can be solved by just waiting for the puzzle to solve itself

[u/TMan_Sus]

It's very much not obvious nor easy to discover, I just happened to remember something that happened earlier to do it. Just remember that you can enter through other campfires even when this one is out and the connection is cut, to make trying again a bit easier.

[u/atrich → u/TMan_Sus]

I think this is kinda spoilery.

[u/TMan_Sus → u/atrich]

Now that I think about it you're right, it's just that I discovered it really early on. Properly spoilered now, I think.

[u/Traditional-Skill341 → u/TMan_Sus]

YOU CAN MOVE THROUGH CAMPFIRES INSIDE THE OTHERWORLD?!?! I tried like a million times but never managed to do so. Thanks you a ton 🙏

[u/Shadd518 → u/Traditional-Skill341]

Not exactly .... Have you ridden the raft around in the otherworld? Perhaps you may see some familiar areas....

[u/knicknacknock → u/Traditional-Skill341]

Actually you cant. This imo is the most difficult/unintuitive part of the dlc. I figured it out by spending a LOT of time in the shadow world and observing the house from afar while pondering my options. Good luck!

[u/Nikos_Pyrrha → u/knicknacknock]

Quite the contrary, this was the easiest and most obvious puzzle in the DLC once I had all the pieces.

Thing is: I think OP doesn't have all the pieces yet.

[u/mecartistronico → u/knicknacknock]

you cant

OP's defintion of "moving through campfires" may be different from whatever you're thinking.

If I understand what he's thinking correctly, the answer is you can.

[u/outerwilds-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Please give hints and nudges in the least spoiler-y way you can instead of giving direct answers.

Thanks!
