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.
- 1Picking 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.
- 2Moving 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'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.
- 4Operating 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.
- 5Crossing 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.
- 6Hoisting 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.
- 7Getting 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.
- 8The 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.
- 9Raising 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.
- 10The 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.
- 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.
