Complete walkthrough for the Forest Living and Countryside House section of A Way Out. Learn how to catch fish, light a fire, make a choice, and find collectibles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the path right, hugging the mountain, and hop down to a chasm. Jump across and have both characters sit on the flat rock to unlock the 'Take a Breather' achievement.
  2. 2
    Head down the mountain slope and follow the linear path.
  3. 3
    Interact with the fallen tree to trigger a cutscene.
  4. 4
    Near the campfire, craft a spear by whittling it with a knife.
  5. 5
    Go to the shallow water and have both characters catch a fish (orange or black). Spamming the spear near them is effective.
  6. 6
    Gather firewood by walking south of the campfire to a yellow marker labeled 'Twigs'.
  7. 7
    Place the twigs on the campfire and blow on it until it's fully ablaze.
  8. 8
    After the cutscene, follow the linear path to a house, passing a black barn.
  9. 9
    At the barn, both characters must pry open a makeshift gate.
  10. 10
    After a cutscene, you will face a gameplay decision: Vincent's way (release horses) or Leo's way (subdue the couple).
  11. 11
    For Leo's Way: Enter the house. One character enters through the porch window to the kitchen and hides. The other climbs the wall near the porch and enters through the second-floor window. The upstairs character knocks down a picture, causing the old woman to go to the kitchen. The downstairs character grabs her. The upstairs character then runs down and subdues the old man with his shotgun.
  12. 12
    For Vincent's Way: Go to the red barn. Use a ladder found near a tree to reach an open window on the top floor. Inside, open all horse stalls. Go to the upper level and push the machine to the ground to scare the horses outside, causing the couple to chase them.
  13. 13
    After dealing with the couple, go to the upstairs master bedroom closet and have both characters change into casual clothes.
  14. 14
    Head to the barn with white doors and open it together to find the truck.
  15. 15
    Grab the pinch bar leaning against a wooden rail on the side of the barn and place it at the back of the truck to repair it.
Tips
  • Fish tend to clump together, making spamming the spear a viable tactic.
  • The path through the woods is mostly linear with rocks on either side.
  • The decision between Leo's and Vincent's way primarily affects immediate gameplay.
  • The horseshoe minigame outside the house does not unlock an achievement.

Achievements:

  • Take a Breather: Sit on the flat rock after crossing the chasm.
  • Timeless Treasure: Examine the clock near the stairs to reveal a secret door, then open the chest inside.
  • Take It For A Spin: As Leo, climb the ladder on the windmill near the barn and spin it a few times.
  • In Sync: Have Leo play the banjo and Vincent play the piano simultaneously.
