    Optional: Backtrack left to a pillar near where Gris first landed. Let Gris fall and get up without touching the controller to complete the First Stage of Grief: Denial challenge.
  4. 4
    Continue right, ascending a large rock.
  5. 5
    Reach a pulsing light, a Star, and absorb it. This star becomes a companion.

    Platform left, past a tree with upside-down triangular leaves, towards a black mountain.
  7. 7
    Collect a second Star shortly after beginning to climb the mountain.
  8. 8
    Further ahead, you'll see a gap that requires stars to bridge.
  9. 9
    To the left, climb stairs to a leaning tower. Ascend its zigzagging stairs to the top. Your two stars will form a bridge to a nearby smaller tower.
  10. 10

    Return to the gap. Your three stars will form a bridge. Cross it.

    Continue right until you reach a crumbling stone hand. A cutscene will play, and you'll complete the Red - A Color Has Been Brought Back challenge.
  14. 14
    Proceed to a giant staircase leading to a temple. At the top, a pictogram shows a leaning tower and two circles with a dot.
  15. 15
    Continue forward to a blood-red tree. Your star companions will flow from Gris to form a constellation in the sky, leaving her to proceed alone.
  16. 16
    Descend stairs and head right to a black tower. Climb it; a cutscene will play, marking the end of the Prologue.
