Side Chapter 1: The Crimson Shadow

A timed side-on stealth stage: the water, the laser floors and the exit, with every pickup on the way.

Side Chapter 1 is a single side-on stealth stage through a facility, played against a clock and with no numbered verses. Guards see along a cone in front of them; slip past or strike from behind. Vents turn you into a lynx and water into a centipede. The route runs from a computer that opens a big door, down into a flooded section, up through floors guarded by lasers, and on to a second computer that opens the exit. It holds two Echoes of Memory, two Figure Boxes, four fast-food pickups and five Bewitchments. The food (a burger, toilet paper, a soda and fries) adds to the score at the end. The Bewitchments stay hidden in the menu until the side chapter's first clear, but they count when earned on this first play.

Collect as you go

The timer runs the whole way, so doubling back costs time. Every pickup below is on or just off the route, in the order you reach it; some rooms add time to the clock. Anything missed can be collected later by replaying the side chapter from Chapter Select once the side chapter is finished.

Location

About this guide

One story run on Standard walks every chapter and takes every collectible, Niflheim and hidden verse as you pass it. After the credits, Chapter Select replays finish the rest: Jeanne's unlocks, the Golem chapter, the Witch Trials, the Phenomenal Remnants with their timed Bewitchments, and a long shop list that needs farmed Seeds and Halos before the Rodin fight. Infinite Climax and Pure Platinum ranks are optional extras.
