Cairn is a survival-climbing adventure game developed and published by The Game Bakers (creators of Furi and Haven). Released on January 29, 2026 for PC and PlayStation 5, Cairn challenges players to ascend the deadly, never-before-summited Mount Kami in a deeply immersive, realistic rock-climbing experience. In this part of the walkthrough we cover the climb through The Child, The Standing Stones, The Vault, Terraces. We also find all three pieces of the Troglodyte Doll.

Day 5 – The Child
After saving inside the giant statue we need to head back out. Easiest way across is to rappel down to the cavern floor and climb up the other side. It’s a pretty easy climb. Head out of the statue now. Rappel down and then walk to the central part of the mountain.
I took the green path up here now.
Day 5 : The Standing Stones
While there are what looks likes stairs to the side, this was my path up –
On this first ledge, if you go behind the archway, you can find a cave. Inside the cave you can find a frog keepsake for your backpack and you can lick a frog for a trip and an achievement.
Start on the next part of the climb. Its marked on the map in green.
Climbing up this path will lead you to a backpack .
The backpack has Kurinol, Coffee and Climbing tape. I rappelled back down and was ready to go check the cave out in the far left side – under The Vaults.
Inside you can find paintings of Troglodytes and a backpack. I headed out, I then climbed the central part of the mountain – the black marked climb to find Doll Part II.
Doll Part II
Day 5 : The Child
I climbed back down and went back to the statue – The Child. I climbed back up to the top and then decided to try the red path leading up.
This was my path up –
Just climb up a little bit further to find Doll part III.
Doll Part III
Rappel back down and head to the far left side to get the last piece of the Doll. To the Vault.
Day 6 – The Vault
Hop over the small ledge and begin your ascent.
This was my path up –
Go up the stairs and you will find a goat. You can fill up any empty bottles you may have with goat milk now. As well as your tummy.
You can find Climbing Tape and Uncooked Rice in the bearproof box. There’s a small narrow cave past the goat that you can follow through to the end to watch a cutscene. Once that’s done there is a bivouac on the right.
Once you have rested you can take Tomatoes, Chocolate, Tea, and water from under the Shepherdess’ house. You can also find a recipe for Pasture Tomatoes in the small library.
You can also pick up the Keepsake: Chimes here. If you picked up Rody’s letter from The Village earlier, hand it over to the Shepherdess for a Thermos.
Head back out and start the ascent again.
The easiest path upward is the blue one.
If you climb to the right instead of going straight up the blue path, you will find a bivouac.
Get back to climbing the blue path and then finally take the red path veering to the left inside a cavern.
Doll Part 1
Inside you will find Doll Part 1.
Get back on the main path and climb up to the blue path leading up to a tree with a bunch of flags on it.
Go past the tree and climb up to find a small cave. You can lick a frog and fill up on water here.
Day 7 – Terraces
Climb up the wall on the right.
From the cave make your way up the mountain.
And you will reach a ledge with two small statues from which you can get Booze and Fireworks. A little bit further up and you will have reached The Terraces.
