Part 1

Your friendly guide to starting Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake. Learn the unique controls and how to master the early game with your two brothers.

Hey there! Welcome to Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake. This game is pretty special, and the way you control the two brothers is its main hook. It might feel a little weird at first, but stick with me, and you'll be a pro in no time. Think of it like learning to pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time – it takes a little practice, but it's totally doable!

The biggest thing to get used to is controlling both brothers simultaneously. The left analog stick moves the older, bigger brother, and the right analog stick moves the younger, smaller one. If you're on PC, it's WASD for the older brother and the arrow keys for the younger. Honestly, if you're on PC, I'd really recommend tweaking the controls so the younger brother uses the numpad (8, 4, 5, 6). It'll save your hands a lot of grief! Using a controller is also super smooth for this game.

The core of the game is working together. The older brother is your powerhouse, great for moving heavy stuff like big levers. The younger brother is nimble, perfect for squeezing through tight spots. You'll see them hoist each other up walls – it's all about teamwork!

If you ever feel lost, just look around the environment. There are usually objects you can interact with, and the brothers will often point towards where you need to go. Plus, if you sit on any of the benches you find, the camera will show you the next objective. You rarely have to backtrack, so don't worry about going backward.

Don't stress too much about dying. Most areas are peaceful, and the few enemies you'll meet usually announce themselves. Getting too close to them is the main way to get a game over, but checkpoints are frequent, so you'll just restart nearby if you mess up. Falling off ledges, however, is a bit more common, especially when you're first learning to manage both characters' movements. Remember to hold the action button when you're hanging!

Part 2

Master the Prologue of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake! Learn to control both brothers, solve puzzles, and find hidden achievements with this detailed walkthrough.

Alright, let's dive into Part 2 of our Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake guide. This section covers the Prologue, and it's where the game really introduces its unique control scheme. Get ready to get cozy with those action buttons – you'll be using both brothers' simultaneously a lot!

The game kicks off with a touching cutscene of the Little Brother at his mother's grave. After a brief flashback, you're back in the present, and your father is very ill. It's time to take him to the doctor, and this is your first real taste of controlling both brothers at once.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Picking up the Cart: You'll need to pick up the cart carrying your father. Both brothers have an interact button – the left trigger (or Spacebar on keyboard) for Big Brother and the right trigger (or Ctrl on keyboard). You MUST hold down both interact buttons to pick up and move the cart.
  2. 2
    Moving the Cart: While holding both interact buttons, use both joysticks (or WASD/arrow keys) to steer the cart. If only one brother moves, you won't get anywhere. You need coordinated movement from both to navigate down the hill. Aim for the wooden bridge with the platform and lever.
  3. 3
    'Take a Break' Achievement: Before you cross the bridge, let go of the cart. Head down the stone steps near the bridge to a small beach. Follow it to the far side, find a pile of small stones, and have Little Brother interact with them to skip stones. This will net you the 'Take a Break' achievement.
  4. 4
    Operating the Lever: Head back to the bridge. As Big Brother, pull the large lever on the platform. Little Brother can't move it. This will shift the wooden platform across the chasm.
  5. 5
    Crossing the Chasm: Cart your father onto the new platform, then leave him there. Head down the stone steps to the right. You'll see a broken rope ladder and a real rope above it.
  6. 6
    Hoisting Little Brother: As Big Brother, walk under the broken ladder and hold the interact button. This positions him to hoist Little Brother. While Big Brother is holding this pose, move Little Brother over and press his interact button to be pushed up.
  7. 7
    Getting Big Brother Up: Once Little Brother is up, have him grab the rope and drop it down. Now, Big Brother can climb up to join Little Brother.
  8. 8
    The Dual-Lever Barrel: With both brothers up, find the dual-lever barrel near the platform. Position both brothers so they can grab a lever, then hold the interact button.
  9. 9
    Raising the Platform: Using both joysticks (or WASD/arrow keys), rotate the levers. A good rhythm will raise the platform faster. Once the platform reaches the top, move the cart with both brothers to the doctor's house. A cutscene will play, setting up your main quest: finding a cure for your father.
  10. 10
    The Bully: After leaving the doctor's house, head down the slope towards a small bridge. You'll encounter a man blocking your path – we'll call him the 'Bully'. You need to find a way past him.
Tips
  • Always keep both brothers' interact buttons in mind. You'll need to hold them down for many actions.
  • Pay attention to the brothers' expressions and tone of voice to understand the story, as they don't speak a real language.
  • Don't forget to look for those achievements; they often lead you slightly off the main path and add to the experience.

  8. 8
    To the right of the doors, find a small cliff with small green rock levels.

    Hold the interact button to grab the rock, then release it to jump to the next rock. You must hold the interact button again when reaching the next green rock to avoid falling.

  23. 23

Chapter 1 Start:

  1. You begin Chapter 1 on a dirt path. To the right is a yard with a stone water well.
  2. An old lady and a small girl playing with her ball are in front of you.
  3. To receive the "Wishing Well" achievement, grab the ball from the little girl when she bounces it against the wall and toss it in the well.
Tips
  • When swimming, you *must* hold Little Brother's interact button so he stays latched onto Big Brother. If you let go, Little Brother will struggle in the water.
  • To climb vines or grab onto rocks, you must hold the interact button while pressing up or moving. Release the interact button to jump between rocks.
  • You can scale cliffs with both brothers simultaneously or one at a time, with the latter being easier.
  • You do not need to perform actions like climbing the wall plank at the same time with both brothers.
  • The Bully can be dealt with by having Little Brother turn a lever to release a dog.

Part 4

Complete Part 4 of the Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake walkthrough, including how to get past the dog and obtain achievements like Bunny Buddies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Pick up the boy and walk back to the well (south of your current position). Release the interact button near the well to throw the boy in. This action triggers a sad reaction from the little girl and unlocks an achievement.
  2. 2
    Make your way down the road. A small shortcut is available via stone steps across the dirt path.
  3. 3
    Reach a closed gate next to a small house with a man gardening. Position both brothers next to the horizontal white handles on the gate. Hold their interact buttons to grab the gate, then move both brothers forward to open it.
  4. 4
    Past the gate, follow the dirt path across a small area to a guy on a cart. Go down the small path to his right, past a small pond, to reach farmland with a barking dog.
  5. 5
    Stay on the elevated levels to avoid the dog. Dropping to the ground where the dog is can result in a game over, but you will restart at the beginning of the farm.
  6. 6
    To dodge the dog, position both brothers on the ends of the land. Have Little Brother jump down and run to the three haystacks in front of you. Climb onto the haystacks to be safe from the dog.
  7. 7
    While the dog is focused on Little Brother, drop down with Big Brother and run to the rocks on the left side of the area.
  8. 8
    Depending on which brother the dog is focused on, control the *other* Brother and run to the next higher ground. For Big Brother, this is another elevated piece of land; for Little Brother, it's another trio of haystacks. The dog can get hung up beyond a haystack, making advancement easier.
  9. 9
    Move each brother to the next position one at a time, as the dog will refocus its attention, allowing you to move the other brother.
  10. 10
    When the haystacks turn into tan barrels, you are almost through the dog area. For the last part, run one brother to the land on the far side, drawing the dog's attention, which allows the other brother to move across safely.
  11. 11
    After evading the dog, follow the path north and slide down a stone slope.
  12. 12
    Cross the river with the small waterfall. Grab the black vines and climb up to reach the top. Both brothers can climb at the same time.
  13. 13
    At the top, jump across the three land platforms to get across the river. Both brothers automatically jump if you are near the ledge.
  14. 14
    On the other side of the river, you will see a broken ladder with a rope. As Big Brother, hold the interact button under the broken ladder and position Little Brother to be hoisted up. Little Brother then drops the rope so Big Brother can climb up.
  15. 15
    Once both brothers are at the top, climb the small wall with green rock levels. Hold onto the lower rocks and jump up to the higher rocks until you reach the top. Two sets of rocks are available for both brothers to climb simultaneously.
  16. 16
    Follow the linear path northward to see a group of bunnies in the level below. Drop down to the right and run to the bunny area.
  17. 17
    In the bunny area, find the single white bunny among the black bunnies. As Little Brother, grab the white bunny and drop it into the coal pit in the center of the area to receive the "Bunny Buddies" achievement.
  18. 18
    Head back up the slope and go to the small drawbridge. Open the bird cage north of the bridge, next to the bench, to begin the "Love Birds" achievement.
  19. 19
    Go back to the bridge with the wheel. As Little Brother, jump onto the hamster wheel next to the bridge and walk on it to lower the bridge. This is part of the "Black Sheep" achievement, which requires moving a sheep into the coal pit.
Tips
  • The dog encounter is designed to be manageable by controlling two characters simultaneously.
  • Utilize the elevated areas and natural obstacles like haystacks and rocks to your advantage when evading the dog.
  • The game provides opportunities for both brothers to perform actions concurrently, making some climbing and puzzle sections easier.
  • "Bunny Buddies" achievement
  • Progress towards "Love Birds" achievement
  • Progress towards "Black Sheep" achievement
