Famously one-eyed — a first-person folk horror based on the folk tale of the same name. The story is about a village blacksmith who has never seen any grief in his life and decides to go in search of evil. Exploring gloomy locations steeped in Slavic folklore, the traveler will have to outwit the evil creature of darkness, relying only on himself and a matchbox. It is this inconspicuous tool that will help the craftsman move forward, solve riddles and escape from his evil fate.
The guide provides a detailed walkthrough of all chapters of the game with the solution to each puzzle, as well as the location of chests🧰 and mortes☠️. Playing with us, you can collect not only collectibles, but also get all the hidden achievements - we will explain what you need to do.
Mysterious forest
Together with the tailor, the blacksmith will leave the village and go to the mysterious forest. The first part of the prologue consists exclusively of the road to the destination and conversations with the traveler. Near the wooden gate you will notice diploma, which can be explored. Moving deeper into the thicket, you will unlock the first achievement "Mysterious Forest".
Where to find the key to the hut
The night thickens, and soon two men will come to a lonely hut, locked with a padlock. Turn left and go past the wooden idols, then pass the stone arch. Behind it you will find a stump on which a raven is sitting. Next to the bird lies the key to the front door. Take it and return to the tailor.
Hut
Enter the creepy dwelling and move along the narrow corridors to the first room, where on the tabletop in the center lies a box of matches - a key survival tool.
You can use the item an unlimited number of times, so it's not worth saving. For burning 616 items, you will unlock the "Prometheus" achievement. Destroying an unread note will also unlock the "Nihilist" achievement.
Matches not only light the way, but also open new passages by burning away obstacles. Take out the fire and throw the burning object at the idols blocking the way.
In the corridor you will come across another barricade, after passing which you will come to a fork. Inspect the passage on the left to find a note, then turn right and move to the end, ignoring the cocoons hanging from the ceiling.
How to open the passage
From the corridor you will reach the kitchen, combined with the dining room. First turn left and inspect the toy horse. Once you get rid of the horse's head, you can take the Odyssey tablet.
To the right of the note, on the table, you will find a morteshka☠️, the only collectible in the game. Throw a match at it to "collect".
Looking around the room, you will find in its very center a cradle suspended from the ceiling. Throw a match into it and wait until the furniture burns out, after which another tablet will fall out of the crib - a fragment of "Awl".
To the right of the crib there is a stove, and a fork is leaning on it. Take the tool for yourself and remove the metal flap from the stove. Using a match, burn all the firewood lying in the mouth, and then use the fork to pull out the pot. In it you will find the last fragment - the "Polyphemus" tablet.
Interact with the door to the right of the stove. Insert all three found items into the slots, after which the passage will open. Go down to the basement and continue through the underground tunnels, which are sometimes blocked by totems and chairs.
Eventually you will come to the altar, which you can examine: Likho is located on three of its parts, and near the central fresco lies Book of Worlds. It will allow you to learn more about the local mythology, collecting tales and beliefs from all locations.
To find all the mortes, be careful - look around, raise your head up and burn everything you can spot.
Crossing
Having left the dungeon under the hut, the blacksmith will reach the crossing separating his native island and the lands of Likha. With the help of a boat, the traveler will be able to swim across the sea.
Once you get into the sunlight, immediately turn left and look at the trees: find the second monkey on the stump☠️.
How to unhook a boat
The boat that is currently tied to the pier will help you cross the sea. You can unhook it using the mechanical wheel nearby, but you need a suitable item here, without it you won't be able to assemble the puzzle. To the left and right of the puzzle are hints that direct the blacksmith to nearby huts.
The first part of the mechanism
Return to the fork at the beginning of the pier and turn right (left if you go from the exit of the cave). On the right hand side there is a hut, and next to the entrance there is a note. If you have collected all the letters before, you will open Student TrophyThrow a match at the idols and go inside.
Remove the glowing eye of the wooden idol - this is the first part of the mechanism on the pier.
The second part of the mechanism
Return to the crossroads again, but this time go straight ahead, so you can get to the second house on the shore. To the right of the path you will find another birch bark with notes. Climb the stairs and burn the idols in the doorway.
In the dwelling you will need to destroy the wooden figure standing in front of the icons. After removing the barrier, approach the wall and take the ring from the mechanism.
Go through the exit to the right of the iconostasis and go down to the basement with the skull above the arch. After passing part of the catacombs, you will come to the first chest🧰 in the game. Interact with it and enter the code 4532Inside is a page from the Book of Worlds called "The Third Voyage".
Prepared in a separate guide detailed solutions to chest puzzles, where we give explanations for each riddle. In this article, we will only mention the codes for them, so as not to overload you with information.
How to solve the lock puzzle
Place both rings in the mechanism to activate it. To open the lock that holds the boat, you will need to solve the puzzle with the painting, rotating three parts of a circle:
- The outer fragment can scroll independently.
- The middle layer rotates only with the inner one, while the inner one rotates more slowly.
- The inner part rotates together with the outer part, the speed is the same.
Assemble the correct picture shown in the second screenshot to move on. It is important to say that the mandatory condition is the position of the image, if it is turned upside down or tilted, the puzzle will not be solved.
All that remains is to get into the boat and head to the other bank, where Likho lives.
THE HOUSE OF MORTS
The Isle of the Dead is a transition zone between the world of the living and the lair of the Evil One. After leaving the shore you landed on, go a little further - you will find yourself at the gates leading deep into the location. There are four empty pedestals in front of the passage. You need to stuff something into this mortar, having previously found four items.
Where to find stupas
Need to collect four statues - figures of animals depicted on the gates. They are located in two parts of the island, in pairs.
Bull
Facing the gate, turn left and climb the stairs by the wall. On the ledge on the right you will find the second Morteshka ☠️.
After climbing the stairs, turn right and go to the cliff. Near the cliff there is a tree with a statue of a bull hanging on it. Burn the dried plant, this will allow you to take the mortar.
While at the top, throw another match into the tree below. This will allow you to make a bridge and get to the chest 🧰, the password for which is 1321.
Bird
From the bull statue, follow the crypt past the chest, eventually reaching the shore. Among the stones you will see an eagle - take it for yourself. You can also get here from the gate, turning right at the crossroads.
Angel
Return to the gate in the center of the location and turn right. Ignore the stairs and move deeper. You will reach a cave in which the angel's stupa is located.
Leo
On the way to the cave you just left, there is a staircase leading to the level above. The passage is cut off by a small ravine. Burn the dried flowers, this will allow you to make a bridge and move further. Turn left and go forward, this way you will reach the last stupa.
To the left of the statue there is a descent into the crypt, and inside it another chest 🧰 is hidden, the code for which is — 1323.
How to place stupas to open gates
Return to the center of the area and arrange the stupas according to the arrangement of the animals on the gate:
- Lion on the bottom left.
- Bird on the top left.
- Angel on the top right.
- The bull is on the bottom right.
Once you reach the top of the mountain, set fire to the many spindles that have been thrown into a pile. Crying animals will appear behind you, but you cannot interact with them. Jump on the coffin and open its lid - all that remains is to wait for it to fall into the pit.
Thread of life
The rash actions at the gate did not go unnoticed: Likho has awakened and is now eager to satiate himself with uninvited guests. Get out of the coffin, move along the only accessible corridor and open the door, this will allow you to enter the first room.
A stone tower will appear in the center of the room, interacting with it will open the way further. First, examine the chest 🧰, to do this, turn left and go along the corridor to the end. Enter the code 1147.
Return to the center of the room and examine the arch above the door through which you entered this room - there you will find a morteshka ☠️.
Go the other way and examine the second tunnel. There are several items scattered there, hinting at the presence of children in the dungeon. Turn around and you will find a statue that has appeared behind you, which you need to burn.
How to solve the chimera puzzle
To solve the Chimera puzzle, you will need to interact with the tower in the center. Rotate the rings of the structure and change the animal displayed at the corresponding level. The following creature must be revealed:
- The top part is an eagle.
- The central fragment is a lion.
- The lower part is a bull.
After this, the gate on which the mythical creature is drawn will open.
Go to the cave with spinning wheels
Go past the tunnel and into the room with the web. You will encounter animal totems there, they are not a threat, and there are no interactive objects in the room itself. Enter the cave and move strictly along the path, you can ignore the spinning wheels along it. Having reached the top with a glowing spindle, throw a match right into it. As soon as the pieces of wood burn out, a cutscene will start.
Dead Man's Belly
After getting out of the cave with the spinning wheels, you will find yourself in a dungeon. Leave it and go to the hut, where you will meet the tailor. As soon as Likho takes him, open the gate with the lever and go into the room.
In the room where the tailor was just killed, examine the stove - on its right side you will find a morte ☠️. Examine the man's head and follow it when it rolls down the corridor.
Throw the tailor's head into the well and jump after it to get to the Dead Man's Belly.
How to walk the path of the dead
The entire path of the dead is a corridor location without screamers and riddles. All that remains is to go through the tunnels, moving deeper and deeper, since there are no branches here.
After the next turn you will come across a room with a note, the passage to the next room is guarded by two totems on the sides of the passage. In front of the birch bark on the right you can find a room with a chest 🧰, the code for it is 3121.
Soon you will reach the path leading to the gate. After passing through the gateway, you will get to the next chapter.

There is a three item slots, on which you need to put something heavy. Examine the "saints" - they have the necessary attributes in their hands.
Iron staff
The first key subject is iron staff, lies near the entrance. Lift the "lever" and move on.
Iron bread
In the center of the dining room, you'll come across a long table. Throw a match at the pile of chairs at the opposite end to remove the obstacles. Once the items burn out, you'll be able to pick up the Iron Bread.
Iron boots
Go through the dining hall to reach a gate next to the stairs. On the right hand side is a wooden totem holding the third iron item, the boots.
To the left of the totem there is a ladder, deal with the chairs in the way and go up to find a chest 🧰. The code for it is 3422.
Where to find the seal of the sun
Return to the entrance to the location, to the place where you previously looked for the spider. Inspect the left part, standing with your back to the refectory. You need to open the passage, to do this, ask the tailor to climb up and throw down the utensils. As soon as the furniture falls into the snowdrift, set it on fire.
Now you will be able to examine the gates, you will notice a sun-shaped depression on them, in which you need to put a seal. You can get it using a puzzle with iron things.
How to place items
Return to the pedestal at the entrance to the location. Place all the items according to the picture above:
- On the left is bread.
- In the center is a staff.
- On the right are boots.
Once all the attributes are set to the correct positions, a recess in the wall will open from which you can take away the seal of the sun. When you have acquired the quest item, take the iron staff, it will still be useful.
Directly opposite the iconostasis there is a gate, open it with the staff and go deeper to find a chest 🧰, the code for which is - 6645.
Go to the roots of the temple
Open the door with the seal and move deeper into the temple. While walking along the wooden bridges, accidentally collapse one of them, which will cause you to find yourself in a cave.
Once in the ravine, go to the end and squeeze through the narrow passage on the right. From there you can reach the roots leading to the next area.
Mistress of animals
Having made your way through the corridors, you will come out into the domain of the beast mistress. Move a little further, you will find yourself in front of the bridge. Throw a match in the bush in the corner left: the fire will spread to the rope, it will burn and lower the crossing.
Once you get to the lower tier, you can turn right. Burn the chairs below - this will open the passage to the chest 🧰, the password for which is - 3354.
Follow the main path to the entrance of the tunnel with the sign "Run away". Throw a match into the vase on the right, the fire will spread to the rope, which will activate the lever leading to another chest 🧰 - password 1213.

First, examine the cells on the left, after passing through one of them, you can lower the lever and open the passage. In the cell opposite, which is located to the right of the main corridor, you will find a morteshka☠️.
How to release the sickle
From the dungeon you will exit into a large arena, in the center of which there is a sickle, sharpened under a layer of ice blocks. Simply setting fire to the wooden elements will not work, you will need to melt the ice with the help of ropes. It is necessary to study the main lattice in the center, however, interaction with the castle will immediately provoke Likho, so we recommend that you first look around the location.
You will need to burn all the ropes, while escaping from the monster. The main feature is that Likho does not look for his victim, but simply follows him on his heels, which is why it is worth constantly looking back and catch the timing when the monster enters the door to immediately move to the next point.
First, go behind the iron gate located to the right of the main passage, on which hung a lock with a sickle. Go down and burn the totems, and then stand at the lever. As soon as you see Likho through the hole in the wooden totems, open the door and go out to the center of the area.
Leave the first room and move forward. When you reach the iron gate, turn left and head into the corridor. At the end of it you will find a statue of a bull, burn it and stand at the lever.
Look down the corridor you just came from. When you spot an enemy in a small hole in the wall, open the gate and head back to the sickle.
After leaving the second room, go to the sickle, looking straight at the door that you need to open with it. Turn left and go down to the basement. In the center of the small room is the third totem, burn it.
Go up the second ladder and stand at the lever. The voice of Likh will continue to be heard, but the creature itself is no longer dangerous. Open the door and take the sickle, use it to open the gate in the center.
Currant
Make your way along the roots until you reach a cliff by the Smorodinka River. Go down and turn right first to find a chest 🧰 in a pile of skulls - the password 4361.
Now go up the main stairs. After the first turn, look carefully to the right - there is a morteka hidden on one of the stone pillars ☠️. All that remains is to reach the bridge and throw a match into a thousand spinning wheels lying in the river. As soon as you do this, run to the gate on the other side of the bridge.
