If you reach an area with wooden floors you’ve gone too far. Take it up to the next floor, and look on your left for one of the wooden statues that allows you to extinguish candles. Now, you should see an elevator in front of you. Shine your light through the fissure to teleport to a hand receiver.

Ride it to the right where you will pass by rocks with a crack in the center.

Follow the stairs (if you have to jump over an illuminated sign in the green script, you’re going the right way) until you reach the two piers observed by a watcher. Head right until you come to a section where there’s a hand teleporter receiver and a staircase heading downward. Turning the Lights Offįrom the tower where you arrive, enter the stilted village. So, our first task is extinguishing those pesky lights. Unfortunately, the Well is guarded by a watcher and, as long as the lights are on, you won’t be able to sneak by. Once you arrive, you will be attempting to reach the Secret Well at the center of the village. Looking for the codes to enter the Abandoned Temple? All signs are pointing to Starlit Cove, the candlelit village you arrive at via the Island Tower’s ritual room.

Our guide will explain how to sneak around this area to avoid Watchers and owls who prowl the area. Not to mention another fantastic soundtrack.In this Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye guide, we’ll give you a walkthrough of the Starlit Cove. It provides both a great counterpoint to the themes of the base game and provides explanations for a few unresolved plot threads (and not just why your map works). The main puzzle is more difficult, I’d say, but then it’s all optional content anyway. That being said, there is an in-game option to make the stealth sections far easier (“Reduced Frights” mode), which I did end up resorting to – at which point things flowed far better for me.Īll in all, the DLC is certainly Tier One. Your built-in time limit starts feeling too short, a complaint I did not have in the base game. The penalty for failure is actually fairly brilliant (and what isn’t in this game), but the length and ambiguity of the stealth sections is just too great when compared to the time you are allotted. The DLC has significant horror aspects (which is fine), but there are mandatory stealth sections which drag on just a tad too long. My last two hours, sadly, were where my experience soured a bit. The moment I arrived appropriately stunned me, after which I spent my first few hours happily thinking to myself “that’s so cool!” each time I found a new aspect of the DLC (in-between overpowering my terror to proceed).

On the plus side: the DLC is set in a location I have always wanted to see in a video game (making my previous article seem almost prescient) and builds upon the lore of the base experience in a tremendous way to give the whole game an even more classic sci-fi vibe. While practically everything about the DLC would be a spoiler, I do want to touch on two specific aspects in general terms – one positive and one negative. This works, I think, since the base game had every corner packed already and adding DLC content there would dilute the main experience. Echoes of the Eye is almost entirely divorced from the main game, from mechanics to locations – and practically a separate game entirely. The answer Mobius Digital came to was to create an entirely separate but parallel experience. So how do you expand upon that for DLC? As much as I wished for DLC, I couldn’t see it fitting anywhere in the experience. Perhaps my personal taste is affecting my judgement here since it’s almost exactly what I want out of a game, but there are few games I’ve played which so superbly show why gaming is a fantastic and unique medium. The above screenshot has the fewest spoilers possible while technically showing some things from the DLC this really is a game you should play blind, and the same is equally true for the DLC. Echoes of the Eye is the DLC for Outer Wilds – and since I never mentioned my final thoughts on Outer Wilds as a complete experience, I figured the DLC was the perfect time to do just that. How do you improve upon perfection? Well, you can’t, really.
