Welcome to the Into Indie Games walkthrough for Selfloss. For more information on Selfloss beyond this walkthrough, check out the official website.
After landing head straight into the cave. Once inside head out through the door on the left. You will come across another of those white tall characters. Speak to him to learn that your staff has now been upgraded and then get on the boat. Charge through the barrier on the river.
Head upstream through the archway, charging through barriers till you reach the shoreline cave. Inside you will come across a giant fish with a lamppost. Keep going past him to the house at the end. Once inside, keep going past the people frozen in place to the house on the left. Drag yourself through the murk and clear the miasma from your wife and child.
You will wake up near a campfire. Head down the stairs and talk to the white character. Get on the boat and set off. Follow the river to the mermaid and keep going. The next time you see the mermaid she will scream and crash your boat. Hide behind the walls to avoid her screams and make your way through. Read the seal on the gate and keep moving.
Head downstream now and activate the three seals while avoiding the mermaid’s scream to unlock the door. Head through the opening and go to the bigger area with the mermaid. Once again avoid the screams by hiding behind the outcropping and activate the seals. The first two seals are in the open while the third is hidden behind miasma. You have to cleanse the nodes to activate that one.
Once you are done head to the next area. Keep going till you can dock on the shoreline and step into the portal. Talk to the tall character and head on. You will see another mermaid here, but she is a blue one. Go down to the log and cross the stream. Jump across the stones on the waterfall. And then talk to the small guy on the bridge. Get on the boat next to him and ride it to the next dock. Interact with the mermaid here.
Get back on your boat and head to the left. Crash through the barrier here and you will find another dock. Its an island with little people and their king. Activate the seal underneath the plank bridge and climb up the vines.
Get on the plank carefully now and activate the seal. Drop down and activate the seal again on the bottom and climb up the vines again. This time go right and smash the vases to activate the hidden seal here.
Go through the gate that just opened and pick up the herbs and check the inscription next to the herbs. Get back on your boat and go north. Catch the red fish here, next to the red mermaid.
Now ride south past the blue mermaid to reach another dock.
Talk to Roma here and she will tell you about the Great Elfur Vanishing and the ingredients needed to craft an oil to get past the miasma crystals. Get back on your boat and back to the island with the little people and their king. Talk to Roma’s brother here. Get back on your boat and head through the archway on the right.
Follow the river till you come across another red fish. Capture it. Now, head north pas the two statues and dock at the castle ruins. Kill the miasma creatures here. Clear the miasma blocking the path on top and go across.
Kill the creature on this side and kick the ladder down and activate the two nodes to unlock the gate. Keep going to climb the vine here and you will find a chest. Keep going to find another ladder. Kick it down and then keep going on the ramparts. You will find a switch to unlock the gate below and blue essence. Attract it with your light and bring it to the chest.
Now drop down and head to the gate we opened earlier and go up the stairs to activate another switch.
This will summon a whale spirit. Now, you have to follow it around to clear the miasma on its body. You won’t be able to clear the miasma as the whale swims by you. Get on your boat and go to the next island over to talk to the forest spirit.
Pick up the herb here and paddle your boat to the central island with the whale skeleton and attract the yellow school of fish here.
Get back on your boat and ride back to the forest spirit. Present him with the fish and he will give you the blue flower. Go back to your boat and find the whale spirit. Clear the miasma off it’s body.
The spirit will settle in its skeleton, destroying the miasma crystals. Go back to the skeleton and pick up the glowing whale fat.
Get back on your boat and head south again to the island with the little people and talk to the merchant and hand over the two fish essences.
Take the pouch from him and move back to your boat. Head back to the island with Roma and the alchemist and give them all the ingredients. Your staff will now be imbued with the Impulse of Light. Go up to the crystals on the left now and clear the path to the switch. Use it to open the gate. Go back to your boat and ride through.
Follow the river till you find the fish essence. Capture it and then leave the area – through the way you came. Go back near the area where the red mermaid is and clear the miasma crystals here to find a scroll.
Go back to the island with the little people and their king. Clear the miasma crystals and then to the well. Clear the crystals on the door and head through. In the next area, you will see a giant jellyfish. Climb down the vines on the side and go through the red door at the bottom. In the next area, kill the creatures till you reach the boss. A miasma worm.
Killing it opens the gate. Go through to find another boat. Ride it to the center of the area, where there is a giant jellyfish trapped by tendrils and surrounded by bells.
Ignore this area for now and head through the southern river – where the tendril goes off to. You will be attacked by another miasma worm. Kill it and then dock. Go up the stairs and you will see a spinning cross. Don’t get on it. Drop down and cross the miasma goop and destroy the crystals blocking the other crosses from spinning.
Kill the creatures that swarm you as you do this. Heal yourself and head back up. Jump across the crosses to get to the light switch on the far end. Use it to drop the cross on the right. Leave your staff here at the switch.
Cross over to the middle cross and jump on the now lowered cross. Use your staff to raise the cross once you have jumped on top of it. This will allow you to reach the end of the area. Clear the tendril here and walk across the plank, kick the ladder down and get back on your boat. Back to the central area, now follow the next tendril to the left.
Another couple of miasma worms. Dock after you kill them and then clear the tendril. You will notice two little people are riding on the boat with you now. They are for the king back on the island. Now head off in the direction of the final tendril. Once again, kill the worms and dock. Pick up the herb and climb the vines. Cross the planks carefully and to the light switch. Leave your staff here.
Cross the plank and activate the staff to drop the gate on the south. Pick up the scroll here. Back in the planks, get to the miasma creatures shooting at you and kill them. Clear the tendril next and head back to the central area. From there take the river branch with the weeds to reach a castle.
Dock and head inside to find out the order in which you need to ring the bells surrounding the giant jelly fish in the central area.
Ring the bells in order to free the jellyfish. The path to the north will open now, with the three jellyfishes there swimming away. Head through and dock there. Climb up the stairs and the king will now reward you with a hairpin. Pick it up and head back to the blue mermaid. After the scene with her, go talk to the red mermaid and the exit should open up.
