Lifted Walkthrough – Snowy Climb & Castle Escape

Welcome to the Into Indie Games walkthrough of Snowy Climb and Castle Escape chapters in Lifted.

Lifted is a charming 2.5D indie game where you play as Ari. Your main objective is to help the professor find a Tiara so he can confess his feelings to the woman he loves. For that purpose, you will have to travel through various timelines. For more information, check out its Steam page.

This game is a platformer, so there can be many challenges, including platforming sections and solving puzzles. We already have a walkthrough available up to the chapter, Namine’s Room, so check out the walkthrough hub if you want to navigate through the previous chapters. Here, in this guide, we will provide you with a walkthrough of the Snowy Climb and Castle Escape chapters in Lifted.

Lifted Walkthrough – Snowy Climb

As the Snowy Climb chapter starts in Lifted, begin moving ahead. Perform wall climbs through the gaps and keep making your way up the area. When you reach a certain height, you will notice that the wind current is quite strong and is pushing you away.

To get through this area, keep moving forward whenever the wind eventually stops. However, do note that the wind current will start blowing again. You cannot do much while the wind is blowing your way, so simply wait for it to stop and then proceed further.

Now, do note that there are objects you can take cover behind. The first one will be a stone block-like structure. It will be located right next to the second flag, so take cover there and, once the wind stops, proceed further. Now, what you need to do is jump onto the platform ahead and take cover there.

That will prevent you from getting blown away by the wind, and once the wind stops again, continue moving further.

Keep Progressing Further

Now what you have to do is grab onto the gap in the ice blocks and climb through it. Then move ahead, jump to climb the wall on the right, and jump once more. Stay behind the cover and wait for the wind to blow again. Once the wind stops, jump up and then use the hook to ascend further.

Now continue climbing the area until you have to head left. You cannot make the jump normally, even with the double jump. So what you need to do is wait for the wind current and then perform the double jump. With the wind at your back, you will be able to make this jump much more easily.

After that, you will notice gaps in the wall on the left side. Use those gaps to climb the wall and reach the top. Then jump again to go even higher and head right. Now, as the wind starts blowing in your direction, that is when you should move right and jump.

Using the wind, perform two jumps to move further. You can cross both sections if you are quick enough. However, if you do not think you can make it, it is better to wait for the wind to appear again.

Keep Using The Wind In Your Favor

Now, drop down and, using the gust of wind, head to the right. You will not be able to jump any farther without the wind, so make sure it is blowing before you continue. Then keep moving right while jumping, and make sure to perform a double jump to land on the plank at the end. From there, you can jump down on the right side.

Then jump to get on the platform and keep moving to the right. When you reach the building, a cutscene will trigger.

Enter The Castle

Now you have to enter the castle, and to do that, use the grappling hook to go up first. Then, head up the platforms. Before you can continue any farther, wait for the wind to finish blowing. Once the wind stops blowing, that is your cue to perform a double jump and wall climb if necessary.

Then continue progressing while jumping or double jumping ahead before the wind starts blowing again. Stay on the balcony so you remain in cover because the wind is about to start blowing again. As soon as the wind stops, double jump ahead and use the grappling hook.

Then perform another double jump while you are swinging forward, use the grappling hook again, and jump onto the platform. After that, move a little farther ahead, and you will be inside the castle.

Now, if you are having trouble crossing this section, do not swing using the grappling hook. You will already have enough momentum from the double jump before using the hook, and that momentum will position you well enough for you to jump and use the grappling hook again. Because of this, you do not have to waste any time swinging.

Explore the Castle

Once you are inside the castle, go ahead and head down the stairs. As you do, a short cutscene will begin. After the cutscene is over, move ahead, jump onto the platform, and then interact with the white lever to activate the elevator.

Now you need to be careful and clever here. As the elevator goes up, the wind coming through the window will push you toward the right side. However, if you are quick enough, you can use the wooden wall on the right side to perform a wall jump and continue climbing upward.

Do this and catch the elevator before it goes up, or you will have to call it back down again. After that, a gust of wind from the right window will push you toward the left side. What you need to do is jump and use the grappling hook to ascend. Then quickly get back inside the elevator to reach the top before it leaves you behind.

Keep Progressing Inside the Castle

Now, head left, roll forward to continue progressing, and use the grappling hook to move ahead. From there, keep moving forward and jump across the ice platforms. Once you reach the fourth ice platform, where there is a wooden structure on the left side, double jump onto the platform on the right side that is slightly above it.

Then use the grappling hook to proceed to the platform on the upper right side. From there, continue toward the left side. When you slide down, make sure to jump and use the grappling hook, or you will fall. Continue climbing upward, and once you reach the top ice platform, use the grappling hook on the left side once again to continue progressing farther.

Ahead, you will notice a zipline. Use it to go down. You do not have to do anything special. Simply get close to it and move ahead a little, and Ari will do the rest automatically. From there, continue ahead, jump, keep progressing, and then use another zipline to descend even farther.

As you go through the window, a cutscene will begin featuring some very bizarre yet fascinating events. After the cutscene ends, you will have to escape the area. With that, Chapter Nine in Lifted, Snowy Climb, comes to an end and Castle Escape will begin.

Lifted Walkthrough – Castle Escape

Although you will only be chased for a very short time, an avalanche will soon occur. You will now have to escape from it. Fortunately, it is not very difficult to do so. Simply jump over the trees that are lying on the ground. Other than that, you will mainly need to perform regular jumps and double jumps as you continue moving forward.

However, do note that you should not double jump over the trees that are slightly taller than the others. Rolling through them is the better option, although double jumping over them also will not cost you enough time to be caught by the avalanche. Even so, it is still better to roll because if you avoid getting hit by the avalanche, you will earn an achievement.

Keep moving ahead and continue escaping the avalanche. Before long, you will successfully escape it, and as soon as you do, another cutscene will begin.

Escape Using the Anytime Elevator

Now, the cutscene will reveal that the elevator has malfunctioned, so you cannot time travel for the time being. Then, the event that took place at the beginning of the first chapter will occur once again, and this time you will be driving the Anytime Elevator. Simply drive it normally and jump whenever you need to in order to keep progressing.

There will be several obstacles that you must jump over to continue moving forward. Also, make sure that you do not hit anything while driving because there are rocks and trees scattered throughout your path. Keep driving ahead, and eventually you will reach the lake that has completely frozen over.

As you continue moving across the frozen lake, the ice will begin breaking in different areas, so make sure to navigate carefully and jump accordingly whenever necessary. Once you have crossed this section, another cutscene will begin, featuring the events from the first chapter.

This cutscene is fairly long because it shows the events of the past (your current present) and of the future, 2026. During these events, the Professor successfully makes his way all the way to Egypt and finally reaches Nefertari’s Temple.

With that, the Castle Escape chapter comes to an end in Lifted, and the next chapter, Nefertari’s Temple Entrance, begins.
