Welcome to the Into Indie Games guide for Monument Valley! This guide was made with the Panoramic Edition in mind, but it should be valid for all versions of the game.

Chapter 6

Part 1

Grab the circular handles and pull the pillar down. Step on top of the pillar and pull the pillar back up. Go up the stairs at the end of this path.

Now say hello to your friend Totem! Grab the Totem by its circular handles and pull it onto the grey button at the end of the path.

In the next screen, move Totem onto the orange-blue button, and then move Totem right to align it with the ledge high above. This lets Ida step on the next button, so do that.

Have Ida return to the top of Totem and then drag all the way to the left, aligning with the high ledge. Have Ida step off of Totem and onto the ledge, then drag Totem back to its previous position along the right high ledge. Have Ida step on the pressure plate (with the grid of four squares on it).

While Ida is standing on the pressure plate, Totem’s position will be raised high above. It can also move along the high ledge now. Move it to the far left, in the small off-path near the stairs that Ida is at.

Have Ida go up the stairs and the ladder up the pillar. Bring Totem next to the pillar and then have Ida step on Totem. Move Totem back to its previous position (near the stairs) and have Ida step on the pressure plate under the gazebo. This opens up a new path.

Move Totem through the path to the button at the end.

Once Totem is in its new position, move it to the far left, which creates a path for Ida to walk over Totem and head through the doorway on the other side.
