    Sorry for the delay everyone! The guide for the base game is nearly complete and should be submitted for publishing either tonight or sometime tomorrow. The guide for the DLC will be released later, though hopefully also relatively soon!
    Thanks for your patience, everyone! The walkthrough for the base game has officially been marked for publishing. Shouldn’t be long now before you guys get your hands on it! I hope it helps you all complete the game before it’s removed from Game Pass! For those of you interested, the guide for the DLC should be coming at a later date, as well - hopefully one shortly after the holidays!

    For what it’s worth, I will be updating the guide for the base game in the future with more images - I just wanted to get this out to you all before a good chunk of you can’t play it anymore!

    I've just finished the base game and I have to leave a comment to say that this might be the best walkthrough I've ever used on this site! Brilliantly written, very easy to follow and concise, I can't praise your work enough!

    The only thing I ran into trouble with, and it's extremely minor, is in the Southern Observatory section of Brittle Hollow, where you say "After getting caught by one of these beams and landing on solid ground on the other side, glance to the Southwest (note your player arrow on the map). You will see several more rocky platforms across the gap.", there was a gravity crystal wall I had to climb to a higher ledge to see these platforms. I landed in the gravity beam on the left and thought I went the wrong way so reset the loop to try again. I don't know if you have to do this with the one on the right.

    Again though, thanks for writing such a great walkthrough and I look forward to the DLC page toast

    Maybe I'll use this to get trophies since bureaucracy prevented timely publishing for getting Gamerscore...

    Well we have our rules and standards for a reason. Apologies if that meant you weren’t able to make use of it on Xbox, but we’re not going to publish an unfinished walkthrough for a multitude of reasons.

    Thanks for the comment, I’ll keep this in mind for when I go back through and revise this walkthrough once I add the DLC in. I plan to add a ton of images in the revision as well, since I was unable to for the initial posting, so hopefully an image added to that section will also help with any confusion for anyone reading the guide. I’m glad you enjoyed the walkthrough!!

    Sorry I couldn’t get the walkthrough published in time, but I didn’t want to post it incomplete! I was adding important aspects up until I marked it ready for publishing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Outer Wilds returned to Game Pass someday, for the record. It’s left and come back once before! Good luck on your journey either way!

    Imagine having this attitude towards a free resource that a volunteer has spent hours to painstakingly ensure is accurate and easy to follow.

    I'd suggest maybe reminding yourself that the universe does not revolve around your personal hunt for Gamerscore

    Given how this game goes to great lengths to show that the universe doesn’t revolve around you (i.e you finally become a pilot on the day the sun goes supernova and a bunch of other spoiler examples) you couldn’t have put that any better. toast

    And also I’m gonna join the bandwagon and say the top comment quoted is dumb and counterintuitive to put nicely: if it was rushed out to comfortably be available before leaving Game Pass (for the second time mind you, I didn’t hear this whinging the first time), as it was available for a week before the departure, it would very likely miss information critical to completing the game due to Archaeologist. A week is enough time to do the completion anyway: I myself only used the walkthrough at a couple points (on that note, it was great for what I needed) and completed the base game in six days. Game’s more than worth the money anyway.

    Hello everyone! I will hopefully get back to writing this walkthrough in the coming weeks. I've been very busy with college, but I would like to finish the DLC walkthrough and add more images to the main walkthrough as soon as I can. Stay tuned!

    I'm using your guide to get the Archaeologist achievement and so far it's been perfect, thanks so much for writing this. In case this happens to anyone else for some reason I didn't get the dialog option when talking to Gabbo after dying that let's me learn how to meditate. I just had to kill myself again and the option was there the second time.
