Chapter Objective
Start with the safe goal before looking at cleanup or achievement notes.
Chapter 12
Skipping Stones
Read the throw arc calmly and avoid wasting attempts through rushed inputs.
Step-By-Step Route
This route is written for a first playthrough: useful, cautious, and light on late-story spoilers.
Clear optional prompts
Line up the target first, then commit to a single smooth throw. If the scene has a tire swing or narrow opening, aim for the center gap and adjust only after watching the full result.
Advance only after the final sweep
Before leaving, check whether dialogue has changed, whether an object can be inspected twice, and whether the chapter seems to be asking for a clean performance.
Achievement And Cleanup Notes
The safest strategy is to track likely missables without claiming unverified hidden flags.
What to watch
Skim Gordon-style searches should land here because the chapter is built around a stone-throwing challenge.
Light. It covers mechanical execution rather than plot reveals.
Use this page during a first run if you want route confidence without reading ending explanations.
Log the cue
If a song stands out, write down the scene and compare it later with the full songs list and songs-by-chapter page.
