1st underwater section
This chapter starts underwater. You don't have to worry about not having oxygen. Norah will transform into a sea creature so that she can move freely underwater. This will not only prevent her from having problems breathing, but will also enable her to swim quickly.
Your task is simply to swim to the exit. There are no dangers or collectibles along the way.
To leave the underwater area, you must swim up to the purple circle. You must then place your hand in the indentation to return to your normal form.
Surfacing
This location is very unique. Every now and then you will have to change your form and traverse different areas. You'll switch between various activities, such as traversing a large area underwater or completing a puzzle on the surface.
Remember, however, that the purple circles will always transform you and transport you to another part of the location - this cannot be undone. If you fall into the water, the only way out is from the other side.
2nd underwater section
In the next underwater section, you will need to solve a small puzzle. It won't be difficult, but it requires dexterity and patience. You won't be able to progress unless you complete it. This puzzle will change the strength of the current to let you swim further.
It's really quite simple. All you have to do is combine the two liquids so that they converge at the center point. To do this, you must first click on the point corresponding to the bent path. When the liquid is about midway, click on the opposite point. After a few seconds, the fluids should merge, and you will be able to swim forward.
The water current will lead you straight to the exit. Just place your hand in the indentation and you'll arrive on the surface.
Lowering the water level
Once out of the water, you'll have to complete a longer section on the surface. To progress from this point, you must drain the water, otherwise Norah will not be able to cross.
You have to solve a few puzzles here. Their description can be found on a separate page of this guide.
- Lowering the water level;
- Boat.
There are several monoliths in this area. Click them in the correct order to drain the water.
Once you select the 4 monoliths in the right order, go to the point near the waterfalls. Clicking on the yellow key should make the water stop flowing. However, if you did something wrong, it will reset all the monoliths in the area.
Once the water stops, run to the bottom. Again you have to click one button to drain the water. That'll let you progress to the next purple circle.
If you are sure that you have already explored everything, go into the water to advance the story.
3rd underwater section
In this section, you will have to solve some small puzzles involving changing the strength of the water current. Once more, you will need to connect the two liquids in the middle of the circle. These are simple tasks, just make sure not to hurry and get a feel for the right moment to let go of both buttons.
After completing all of the puzzles, swim to the top. There you will find the button that opens the cave. This is a timed section. Click on the button and let the current carry you, as it will lead you directly to the cave.
If you fail to do this the first time, repeat the sequence until you complete it. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of this water reservoir.
Once you enter the closed cave, you simply have to continue to swim forward until you find the exit to the surface.
Tunnel
Once you're out of the water, you will have a long, straight road ahead of you. All you have to do is run through the tunnel, all the way to the purple circle. Don't let anything distract you from the main road.
4th underwater section
This is a very short section. Just let the water current carry you and your character will arrive at her destination. All you need to do is watch what happens in the water.
Cave
Eventually, you will emerge in a cave. Your task is to simply complete the final puzzle to be able to go to the sanctuary.
The trick is to release the liquid properly. This is not difficult as long as you click on the buttons in the right order.
Once you solve the puzzle, a method of transport will appear - entering the boat will end this chapter.
