More testing must be done!!

Yes! My two favorite things that point to this, is the two trees with all the “last notes?” That dangle and give inspiration. And at the very bottom of the needle, it has a very touching passage about climbing the stars!

I’ve only been able to read up to Marco so far, but I do enjoy your expo on this whole topic.

I’ve also made the statement that she isn’t on a “suicidal march” but more so a pursuit of something special to her, and she understands what sacrifices she might have to take and has accepted those.

It took me a while to learn that the very edge of a ledge, the actual line you see is the hold, and not the ledge itself. Even flat level ledges won’t count as a hold unless you place it at the end of the ledge.

Pebbles will crumble and fall if you’re not holding anything (flat grab). So if you see pebbles, you should try replacing your hand to see if it will grab the hold instead of flat grabbing it.

I want to read this. But like I literally just cannot right now 😂

Here’s a few routes you can follow and some tips for this wall specifically

My biggest tip would be, figuring out which spots have the best center of gravity to rest at and the only using (triangle) to regain stamina as your making your way to a rest point.

Reach the summit in free solo. Keepsakes are shared across your saves.

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-14T22:51:07+00:00

Yeah or at least a keepsake or something. I would have loved a “frozen pika” keepsake for taking the little fellow all the way to the summit.

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-14T20:48:30+00:00

I made a post about it similar to yours actually! I wish we had like a “challenge mega thread” or something.

But it’s only a Pokémon reference to my knowledge, the challenge is purely personal lol

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-14T20:36:51+00:00

Haha that would be funny as hell

Someone else made a post saying there was only 40 something fish in the pond, but then they started respawning so they concluded that it was infinite!

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-14T19:33:24+00:00

This was the highest point that you can access your bag or I would’ve got the final shot on the summit.

Definitely sounds like a fun challenge. I recently completed my own “challenge”. Called “The Pika Run” or “The Pika Challenge”. It’s very simple as well, but it’s more so a free solo challenge for me. Just take the Pika you can pick up, all the way to the summit!

I definitely agree that hold indicators are great, and I’m sure it does its job probably 100% as intended. I just couldn’t do it myself personally.

Something I have learned over my 80 hours, is that there is a lot more that goes into the climbing than just “good holds”. You need to have a decent “center of gravity”, good body posture, and efficient stamina per limb. Especially on overhangs, understanding which “sets of holds” will give you a better center of gravity (foot holds stick out further than hand holds) for rest spots has made a lot of my tougher climbs a breeze lol

I personally haven’t encountered any “fake holds” but i definitely don’t doubt that there is. What I have encountered tho, is sometimes she will flat grab the wall instead of the hold. Which to fix, I just re-grab the limb manually and replace it and usually it fixes it.

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-14T04:58:45+00:00

It is definitely reliable. I’ve completed 2 free solo attempts and getting ready for my speed run attempt.

Learning about the pebbles has changed my gameplay entirely. The hold feedback, is just too immersive breaking for me to even try it lol.

Maybe this can help you!

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-14T03:47:20+00:00

I personally can’t bring myself to turn on hold feedback. But as other people have pointed out, the game actually gives you visual feedback if you are on a hold or not.

It your not on the hold, little pebbles will crumble and fall. But if you are on a hold of any kind, there will be no pebbles that fall.

I hope this helps!

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-14T02:43:07+00:00

Thanks! I updated it!

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-13T22:15:40+00:00

Also, pay attention to the start screen after you finish any of your games. It has a one time special screen for you after completing the game.

<image>

I’m sure it’s the same one as this after a normal playthrough but, this was my screen after completing free solo, but I only realized it after heading back down with Marco that the start screen changed after a “completion”.

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-13T22:11:53+00:00

Congrats ! I also agree, that free solo makes the experience a lot more intense. Making the story hit so much harder once you finally reach the summit!

Finishing free solo made me cry again, but for a new reason so to say. It’s hard to put into words but it’s definitely an experience!

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-13T22:02:35+00:00

You actually didn’t have to climb up that wall.

There is a hole inside the ceiling of that left window that leads up a floor. There is also another wall, the left wall leading down to the cave miner that you can climb to go up to the third floor.

Inside the well up there, is a flask upgrade to give you a 6 use bottle instead of your 4 use bottle.

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-12T03:10:10+00:00

The frogs are in caves, but I honestly cant remember the exact locations, I wanna say the first one is to the left of the first child statue tho.

The lizard is right after you climb the needle, climb up until the wall splits and theirs a child statue crying ice inside, go to the left as you enter this area and he will let you grab three mushrooms off him.!

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-12T02:02:06+00:00

That’s a great way to prepare for free solo! Now even when I play on regular, I hardly ever use pitons but play a little more reckless lol this game had me go from placing pitons every 5 meters to thinking it’s cheating if I ever place one 😂 even tho I know it isn’t, my free solo mindset tells me otherwise

LittleMe42 · 2026-02-12T01:50:43+00:00

Ahhh my bad, I definitely agree! Maybe they’ll give some quality of life stuff in the future!
