Walkthrough for Control Resonant's Scaling Overtone Mountain Part 3. Find all treasure tokens, solve puzzles, and reach the mountain peak.
Walkthrough
- 1After obtaining the Sacred Bell of Order, return to the entrance of Tempo Keep. Head north to the throne room, bomb the door behind the magistrate, and exit via the stairs. Open the chest on the castle roof to collect [TOKEN21].
- 2Leave Tempo Castle and bomb the rock southwest of the drawbridge to reveal a ladder. Climb down into the cave and bomb cracked blocks to collect [TOKEN22].
- 3Return to the first area of the Tonal Plains east of Melody Village. Use your sword and bombs to reach the chest to the north and collect [TOKEN23].
- 4Go to the west side of Melody Village and bomb open the door of the vacant house next to the Treasure Shop. Solve the block puzzle inside to collect [TOKEN24]. The steps are: left, push left, left, push up, up, left, up, up, push right, up, up, push right, right, push down, down, right, push right, right.
- 5Enter the Treasure Shop and talk to the cap'n repeatedly to receive two extra hearts and a pair of Reading Glasses.
- 6Go back to Prelude Beach south of Melody Village. Bomb the rock wall northwest to enter the secret pirate den. Avoid cacti, smash the pot, and bomb the rock to reach the chest and collect [TOKEN25]. A button under the pot in the southeast will reopen the cave door after it closes.
- 7Head north through the Tonal Plains to Interlude Bridge. Before crossing, collect two more treasure tokens.
- 8On the left side of the bridge: smash all pots and bomb all cracked blocks. Stand south of the chest, surrounded by blocks, and push left and right. Step right, push up, then push the block beneath the chest to the right to collect [TOKEN26].
- 9On the right side of the bridge: smash the pot right of the builders and exit east. Follow the path around the lake to the back of the fields. Cut down bushes and bomb the rock to collect [TOKEN27].
- 10Return to Interlude Bridge and cross north. To enter Signpost Studio, follow the directions on the signposts exactly, starting with the one nearest the south exit. Read each sign directly in line with the previous. Be careful not to destroy signposts when bombing rocks. Reading the wrong sign restarts the puzzle.
- 11Enter Signpost Studio and read the bottom-left signpost from behind. (This step is not required for progression but teaches an important mechanic.)
- 12Exit Signpost Studio and read the back of the sign to the right of the building to start the bonus round. Follow the directions to spawn a chest and collect [TOKEN28].
- 13Head north to the foot of Overtone Mountain. Follow stairs to the blocked cave entrance in the northwest. Bomb into the cave and bomb the rocks (starting with the sides to avoid damage) to reach the mountaineer. Talk to him, then collect [TOKEN29].
- 14Go back outside and bomb the rocks to the right, moving left to avoid falling rocks. Enter the ladder beneath the tent to unravel it.
- 15To release the ladder above and to the right of the tent, place a bomb directly below it at the cliff face. (A speedrunning shortcut allows releasing the lower ladder from below with a bomb.)
- 16Climb the ladder and continue north up the mountain. Enter the cave to reappear out of the cave above. Enter the middle cave on the same level, then re-enter the cave you just exited to appear out of the top-left cave. Climb down the ladder and bomb the rock to collect [TOKEN30].
- 17Enter the middle of the three caves, release the ladder, then enter the cave to the left. Place a bomb, re-enter the cave, then enter the cave to the left again after the rock is destroyed. Continue past the Mountaineer's Hut and climb the ladder north to the peak of the mountain. Talk to Arabella for [CONVO4].
- 18To enter Harmony Temple, light the torches on each side from underneath. On the left side, stand two steps above the signpost and walk right into the wall. Press button 2, then 3, then 1 (numbered 1-3 from left to right).
- 19On the right side, walk left into the wall in line with the bottom torch. Push the left block down, the middle block left, and the right block left.
- 20Exit the cave, climb the steps, and enter Harmony Temple.
Tips
- When bombing rocks on Overtone Mountain, start with the sides to avoid taking damage from falling rocks.
- Be mindful of bomb blast radius when destroying rocks near signposts in the Signpost Studio puzzle to avoid accidentally destroying them.
- The signpost puzzle in Signpost Studio requires precise alignment with each signpost.
