Lifted Walkthrough – A Chilly Chase

As you start the game, a cutscene will begin, and once it ends, you will be controlling a vehicle. You can control its direction along the straight path as well as jump. When the tree falls down, you will have to press the jump button to avoid getting hit.

Just avoid getting hit, and you will make it through. Also, falling on the left side is meant to happen, so do not worry about going through the forest. Once you do, you will have to traverse another path. When you see a branch blocking the way, do note that you will have to jump on the side that is lower to avoid making contact.

Then, as you continue moving ahead, you simply need to keep going, and another cutscene will begin as you jump off the cliff.

Lifted Walkthrough – Exploring 1817 Egypt

The cutscene shows how Ari and the professor end up in the past, and once you arrive there, you will have to explore the area. So, start moving ahead. Keep progressing using the simple controls, and pick up the stone in the air by performing a double jump.

If you fall, do note that you can get back up from the left side. Double jump your way ahead, and then another cutscene will begin. The cutscene will feature a tower that you need to climb to the top of.

Get On Top of the Tower

You now have to climb the wall. Do so, and once you have climbed the first one, head right and pick up the stone, then continue climbing the wall from the left side. Climb the wall, and once you land on a surface, you will notice that the next wall to climb is on the left side.

Now you have to double jump toward the left, grab the wall, and then move down a little. Then head left, and once you reach the farthest point on the left side, jump to the left again to land on the platform. From there, keep moving ahead, and then you will have to perform some rope swinging.

Swing across and jump to the other side, but be careful because the platform ahead will collapse. Keep going, swing across another rope to reach the other side, then continue ahead, use the double ropes to progress, and climb the wall to trigger another cutscene.

Note: If you are having trouble reaching the other side using the rope, do note that you can climb down the rope. Simply press the down button to move lower, then swing for a much bigger jump. This will ensure that you can make it safely to the other side of the area.

Use the Grappling Hook to Go Ahead

During the cutscene, the professor will give you a grappling hook that you can use to move further ahead. Go a little farther, and you will see which button to press to throw the hook. Swing to the other side, then double jump to grab the next rope.

Then swing again and double jump to reach the next platform. Continue ahead, but do note that the second plank will break, so be ready to perform a double jump. Then use your grappling hook, but you do not have to swing this time. Simply climb the rope instead.

As you continue ahead, you will notice a piece of the Rosetta Stone. Pick it up, then climb back up again. You may be able to use a double jump to avoid falling down. To continue, use the grappling hook twice, and then you will have to use it one more time.

Use the grappling hook again, and this time you will have to climb the rope before jumping and instantly using the grappling hook on the next anchor point.

Reaching the Top

From there, keep moving ahead while performing double jumps where needed and using the ropes whenever required. Eventually, as you reach the top of the tower, you will have to use the grappling hook to move upward. Then climb the ladder, and you will finally reach the top.

Reaching the top will trigger another cutscene, and with that, Chapter Two, Egypt 1817 in Lifted, will be concluded. The cutscene features you traveling across the desert to reach the tomb where you need to find the tiara.

Lifted Walkthrough – Nefertari’s Tomb

Go ahead and climb the structure. Once you reach the top, you will need to use the grappling hook to smash the gate. In order to do that, jump and swing to the other side while making contact with the gate. Upon doing so, the gate will be destroyed.

Go through the gate, and you will notice that the path ahead is blocked. You now have to solve a puzzle to continue through.

Solve the Puzzle

Keep moving ahead, jump onto the structure, and use the grappling hook to reach the pillars ahead. Then move ahead a little to see where you need to go, and perform a double jump to land on the pillar ahead. After that, use the grappling hook to reach the other side.

Now you need to double jump toward the left side and climb the wall. After that, continue ahead and perform a double jump twice to avoid falling into the giant holes. Then perform another double jump to continue forward and climb the wooden platform.

Next, jump onto the boxes, then jump onto the wooden platform on the right. You now need to jump onto the platform below you, and upon doing so, another cutscene will begin. With that, the path ahead will finally be unlocked.

Go Through The Unlocked Path

Now, go through the unlocked path and continue ahead just a little farther to trigger a cutscene. Once the cutscene ends, head to the left side and jump up from where you see the torches. Continue left to find a piece of the Golden Ankh, then get back up by performing a double jump.

Then make your way right, up, and then right again. After that, head left, go down, grab the rope, descend, swing, and grab the rope on the right. Descend again and swing once more. What you need to do now is swing in a way that allows you to jump and land on the wall ahead.

Once you have landed on the wall, jump and use the grappling hook. Then use your swinging momentum to break the gate ahead.

Break the Gate

Now you need to be a little creative here. In order to break the gate, while you are swinging, climb the rope as you reach the left side. However, as you reach the right side of the swing, instantly descend enough so that your character makes contact with the gate.

You may be able to do that with the rope fully extended, but we found this method to be much more effective. Then make your way to the top, and your character will shout to let the professor know that he has made it to the top. Continue ahead a little farther and interact with the mechanism.

As you interact with it, a cutscene will be triggered, and a pathway will be extended. A shortcut that lets you go back down will also be unlocked. So, use that shortcut to head back down. Use the grappling hook, then descend. Do note that on the left side you can also find another piece of the Golden Ankh.

Head to the Right Side

While the platform has been extended, it has not extended all the way. So, you now need to head toward the right side. As you move right, you will come across a large block. You need to grab it and push it forward. Do not worry about it falling because it will stay in place, so simply push it ahead and then jump onto it to reach the other side.

Then continue ahead, grab the small stone, push it forward, and place it on the mechanism for the door to unlock. Continue ahead, head upward, climb the wall, and once you reach the platform between the walls, grab the stone block, push it forward, and then continue climbing.

Align the block with the gaps in the row, then head back. Climb back up, head right, and then use the block you just positioned to continue upward.

Keep Going Ahead While Solving Small Puzzles

Now continue ahead, and you will come across another small block. Grab the block, pull it back, and place it on the mechanism. Upon doing that, the path ahead will be unlocked. However, you also need to move the first block to the other side. To do that, continue ahead, pull the block to the far left side, and then head left.

Push the block forward, and while the wooden platform will move downward, it will not go down completely because of the block. Now push the block forward again, and it will move to the other side. You can still use a double jump to reach the right side, so do not worry about getting across.

Now push the bigger block all the way to the right side and place the smaller block on the mechanism. Then use the bigger block to climb up. After that, climb the wall, continue upward, and interact with the second mechanism. Doing so will extend the path even farther and unlock another shortcut.

Use the shortcut to head back down and return to where the professor is waiting. Upon doing that, another cutscene will begin. The cutscene reveals that someone has already taken all of Nefertari’s treasures. With that, Chapter Three of Lifted, Nefertari’s Tomb will be concluded.

Lifted Walkthrough – Minecart Escape

After the cutscene is over, chapter four, Minecart Escape in Lifted, begins. It is a chase sequence, and you now have to escape in a minecart. You will need to jump and duck to keep moving without getting hit. Do note that there will be several jumping sections ahead because the track will keep breaking apart due to the debris falling onto it.

As you reach the end, another cutscene will begin. The cutscene will then feature you returning to the time travel elevator after Blackbeard takes away the Tiara. As a result, you will now have to travel further into the past and find the Tiara once again.

Note: The chase sequence can be a little difficult. However, you will not have to restart from the very beginning because there are checkpoints throughout the sequence. Even if you fail a few times, it should not become too frustrating.

With that, the Minecart Escape chapter concludes and our first walkthrough of Lifted. Hopefully, this walkthrough helped you progress through the first section of the game.
