How to Beat The Windstorm (Environmental Challenge)

Learn how to overcome the Windstorm environmental challenge in Gris. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to navigate this section of the game and progress.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Continue moving forward until you reach a giant rock. Ascend it and leap over the edge; there's no turning back.
  2. 2
    Approach a small pulsing light, a Star, and absorb it.
  3. 3
    Past where you collected the star, find crumbling platforms (the first marked by a tree with upside-down triangular leaves). Jump on them and platform to the left until you see a black mountain ascending to the right.
  4. 4
    Shortly after starting to climb the black mountain, collect a second Star.
  5. 5
    Continue past the second star to find a large gap. You will need more stars to bridge it.
  6. 6
    Climb the stairs on the left to find a large leaning tower. Use the zigzagging stairs to reach the top.
  7. 7
    Your two collected stars will automatically create a bridge. Use it to collect a third Star from a smaller tower nearby.
  8. 8
    Before returning to the gap, locate the first Memento by mounting the first staircase on the leaning tower and jumping left. Pass over the symbol to activate it.
  9. 9
    Return to the gap. Your three stars will form a bridge. Cross it and continue right until you reach a crumbling stone hand. A cutscene will play, and you will complete the challenge: Red - A Color Has Been Brought Back.
  10. 10
    Continue to a giant staircase leading to a temple. At the top, a pictogram on the back wall depicts a leaning tower and two circular symbols.
  11. 11
    Proceed forward until you reach a blood-red tree. Your star companions will flow from you to form a constellation in the sky; you must now proceed without them.
  12. 12
    On the other side of the red tree, at the edge of the downward stairs, you will see symbols on black walls representing chapters and their Mementos.
  13. 13
    Continue down the stairs and head right until you slide down a steep red mountain.
  14. 14
    Once on flat ground, continue right to a black tower. Gris will automatically finish the climb, marking the end of the prologue.
Tips
  • The stars you collect act as companions and can form bridges across gaps.
  • You need to collect all available stars in an area to create the necessary bridges.
  • Look for Mementos, which are collectibles that can be activated by passing over them. The first Memento is found near the leaning tower before crossing the first large gap.
  • The completion of this section also awards the challenge Red - A Color Has Been Brought Back.
  • Completion of the environmental challenge and progression to the next section.
  • Awarded the challenge: Red - A Color Has Been Brought Back.
