Chapter 5: Herman
Cross the Old Bridge
After the introductory cutscene to this chapter, you will have control of both Alva and Hanna again. Switch to Alva and climb the shed on the right.
Climb up and station Alva near the tower, overseeing the birds. Watch for the spotlight and use Alva’s slingshot to rattle the birds. Use the distraction to move Hanna into cover.
Move to the boxes up ahead and take out the guard. Move his body in the shadows before the searchlight sweeps back.
Next, use Hanna to startle the bird, and then take out the guard when he comes to check. Make sure you get him out of the line of sight of the spotlight. Video below –
Once he is out, switch to Alva and run to the grass. Once the spotlight sweeps by, keep going till the ship-shaped rock formation with two guards on top. Use your slingshot to distract the guards and use that to run across the grass with Hanna.
Reach the docks by the fort
Switch to Alba and climb up the narrow pathway and wait near the painted ledge. Move Hannah close to the wall near the two guards. There are birds on your right. You need a bit of synchronization here. Use Hanna to startle the birds on the right and at the same time use Alva to startle the birds on her side. Then use Hanna to move to the left and out. Here’s a video for it –
Switch to Hanna and take her to the end of the path to a camp. Wait for the guard to turn his back and go up the stairs. Take out the guard on the right, complaining of mosquitoes.
Move the body and take out the other guard. Jump down the tarp-covered ledge and make you way across the shipwreck and to the door. Switch back to Alva and run for the door. Exit the area once both of you are together.
Watch the cutscenes.
Find a key to the tunnels
You will be controlling Dovan now, head to the objective marker and watch the cutscene.
Get back to the house
Now you need to get back. You will find the drawbridge has been raised. Watch the altercation and then press the switch. After the sequence plays out, you need to move Jimmy’s body around the boxes. Check the video below –
Now cross the bridge and avoid the crowd. Be patient, move when you need to. There is going to be a path. Might need a couple of tries though. Once you make it through, open the trapdoor for the girls.
Find Herman’s Cell
Switch to Alva and climb the pipe and go around to the edge of the bridge.
Use your slighshot to distract the guard while Hanna runs up the stairs. Once the guard comes back knock him out. Run with Hanna to the cells. Now take out the light.
The guards will close the gate. Switch to Hanna and bring her over to the center with the machine.
Take out the first guard when is close to the closed gate. When the other guard shows up, distract him with Alva and knock him out with Hanna. Now wait for the last guard to come down – switch to Alva jump down and move the body. Once the guard comes into range for Hanna, take him out.
Open the gate with Alva and go through with Hanna. Go to the end and climb the ladder and exit the area. Watch the cutscene unfold and that will end the chapter.
That concludes the walkthrough for Chapter 5 of the Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream walkthrough.
