Fairies, secret treasures and puzzles

Start with solving hints and open input answers only when needed. Distinguish 20 fairy slots from 12 secret treasures, then progress to the sheet rewards and Mountain Door.

Scope: Basic progression for Steam App 553420, including assistance settings added in the official 2022-09-27 update. Checked: 2026-10-02 UTC. This is not a single list of current build numbers across every platform.

Later progression appears when you choose "Expand to read," and puzzle inputs require the additional "View answer" choice. Search alone does not open closed answers. Chapter links open the chapter you select.

Things to try before viewing answers

Open page 43 onward and consider how cross-shaped directional input relates to lines on the game screen.
Look for a starting point on a door's line and record each turn on paper.
Flowers, carpets, candles, travel routes and sounds can also stand in for lines. Observe nearby shapes before changing regions.
Open the chapters below if you need exploration answers. Longer inputs require opening an additional nested answer.

Mechanism: directional input and exploration help

Expand to read (Later-game information）

The Holy Cross is your D-pad/arrow keys, not an item equipped in a weapon slot. Once you understand the clue, some puzzles accept input even before collecting their sheet.

Stand before the door or pattern and trace from the line's start. Use the D-pad, not the movement stick.
Do not add repeated directions merely because a line is long. Where a mark crosses the line, enter that direction once more.
Entering page 47's fairy-seeking line produces small lights pointing toward nearby hidden fairies. Use them to narrow the region, then solve the local pattern.

Target	Input, left to right

48/49 golden slab	↑ ← ↓ → ↓ ← ↑ →

These 2 inputs were compared against guides for the same targets. Sources contain mirrored sequences for the 44/45 door, so this guide explains reading its local pattern instead. This is not a table of every individual input for all 20 fairies.

20 fairy slots: regions and clues to read

Expand to read (Later-game information）

Numbers organize the entries by page 48's order, which may differ from other guides' discovery-order numbering. Check all 20 names/regions and return to unsolved clues.

02 / Flowers 2	Overworld	A different flower arrangement; separate from slot 01.

04 / Caustic Light	Overworld	Indoor light pattern. Also check changes that appear to move.

06 / Sealed Temple	Sealed Temple	Check the floor pattern below the 3 fox statues. Ring both bells to enter.
07 / The Quarry	Quarry	Check regional patterns. Use the fairy-seeking input to narrow the direction.

14 / Cube	Overworld: hidden room behind a breakable wall	Read the cube's route. Find the entrance with bombs.
15 / Maze (Invisible)	Overworld: room under the bridge	Record movement across the invisible floor. Turns in the safe route are the clue.
16 / Fountain	Overworld: fountain	Check the number and order of drawn shapes as well as connecting lines. A different objective from sheet 42/43.

18 / West Garden	West Garden: blue floor	Trace the connected blue floor.
19 / Eastern Vault	Eastern Fortress	Examine candle arrangements near the pillars.
20 / East Forest	East Forest: broken stone pillars	Look for missing line fragments and combine with the Overworld coastal fragment. Distinguish from dancing-fox slot 08.

Rescue 10 fairies for sheet 54/55 at the gathering place. Rescue all 20 for Spring Falls at the same place. Page 48's checks also indicate rescue status.
The dancing fox's movements can be observed at night. Do not assume the input itself is a night-exclusive ability.

11〜20	↑ → ↑ ← ↑ → ↓ → ↑ ←
21〜30	↑ ← ↑ → ↑ ← ↓ ← ↑ →

Decoding beyond the endings

Expand to read (Answer and ending information）

Secret treasures and later manual pages leave advanced text/audio puzzles. This page covers the route through collection and endings, not every answer to Glyph Tower, Trunic or Tuneic.

Text and sound decoding remains a goal after seeing an ending. Distinguish ending requirements from the advanced puzzles beyond them.
