Level 8 - The Letter | Walkthrough Unravel Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Fields full of crows
The beginning is easy. Just go to the left and jump a little. It is worth noting that breaking the ice in water reservoirs is rewarded with an achievement called Obsessive (you have to break all the ice in one go, all the way to the mailbox). It might get problematic when you encounter crows. You must hide behind objects as soon as you see an approaching bird. At the end of the road, when you can see the ball of yarn, you can try using the lasso to quickly escape the bird that will be close. More fun awaits you in the shed...
Shed
You must create a large bridge heading up: once to the right, two times to the left and then once to the right towards the left lamp. Push a cardboard box there - you can find it at the beginning of this stage. Use it to jump onto the board over the lamps - go to the right and pull the handle of the hammer. Now create another bridge using the board and the hammer, and push the box there to collect the button.
To get out of the room, you need to use the window on the right. You can push the cardboard box there and slide it under the window or swing using the hammer.
In the next room you can find two secrets. First go to the right along the trailer of the car. Use the hanging lamps to jump up to the left to find the next ball of yarn next to the hay. Now go to the right as far as you can. You will find a hanging hook - push it all the way to the left. Then build a trampoline connected with a lamp and you will be able to jump higher. The button is located in the right corner. That's also where you can get out of the shed by dropping down.
Once you're on the highest lamp at the level of the hook, swing to the left and go over the edge of the screen. There you will find a green paint container. Drop it all the way down and push it to the right corner. There you'll find the third button. To reach it, you must jump over from the container.
Another way to get out of the room (besides the one next to the first button) is to propel the hook on the story near the hay to the right to force open the door. Then drop down. Watch out for how many and what kind of loops you've made earlier in the shed. If you run out of thread you will have to come back.
Well and the second attack of crows
Soon you'll see a well. Open the hatch on both sides and first drop down to collect the button. Then make a trampoline and jump onto the handle to pull the bucket out from the bottom. Turn the bucket to be able to go across a field full of crows. In the bucket you are completely safe.
There's another secret collectible behind the field. To collect it you must: score a checkpoint in front of a frozen puddle, break the ice on the water and get the pole out of it. Use it to make a trampoline. Jump up and swing so as to collect the button. Don't score the checkpoint to the right before collecting the button.
In order to go over a stack of hay lying on the car a bit further, create two trampolines and pull the wheel from under the car. Then you will be able to pass over the obstacle. Once you free a bird from the cage by pulling the loop, you will finish the level and get an achievement called Reach out.
