Endless Canyon

Outer Wilds guide · Second dream world location
← All areas in this guide

The Endless Canyon is an expansive simulation area accessed by dozing off with an artifact at the Hidden Gorge campfire inside the Stranger. To reach its deepest archive, you must navigate an immense lodge built across a ravine, manipulate light totems to extinguish the building's interior lighting, and bypass the awakened inhabitants roaming in the dark. Solving the lodge's puzzle path reveals a secret passage beneath a mural that leads directly to the Forbidden Archive.

Tips

  • Send the raft down into the ravine while the lodge is still lit, extinguish the lights from the mural totem, and then enter the canyon via a different campfire's raft to bypass most Pursuers inside the mansion.
  • Concealing your lantern allows you to walk right past Pursuers in the dark as long as you do not bump directly into them.
