Chapter Objective
Start with the safe goal before looking at cleanup or achievement notes.
Chapter 21
Coastal Cruise
Keep the cruise readable while logging any timed prompts, music cues, or optional interactions.
Step-By-Step Route
This route is written for a first playthrough: useful, cautious, and light on late-story spoilers.
Clear optional prompts
Late travel scenes can hide small performance checks. Keep your eyes ahead, avoid overcorrecting, and treat every obvious target or conversation change as something to clear before the route advances.
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
Paint it, Black, If You Want and coastal-route cleanup searches can connect here if players are tracking late-game task order.
Moderate. It sits in the late-game stretch but avoids ending explanations.
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.
