Space capsule | Walkthrough The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

As you follow the tracks, you will run into another heap of stones. In the distance, there are two freight cars. Walk into the mead on the left side of the tracks - nearby, you will find a mysterious relay. You can locate it thanks to the characteristic sound it makes.

Approach the relay and note that pressing any of the buttons makes it change colors. It is a random puzzle that consists in changing the color of all the lights to blue. Thanks to the trial and again method, you need to recreate the appropriate order (lighting of the red light resets the relay, but it does not change the correct order).

Follow the astronaut that appeared in front of you. The mysterious figure keeps disappearing and appearing several meters ahead. This challenge is not too much of a problem, apart from the moment when the astronaut appears outside of your sight - you then need to run to the right and take the path up, in front of the large boulders.

A moment later, there appears a space pod on the mead. Enter the beam of light that comes from under the pod. After the cutscene, read story inside.

You will be teleported to a cottage, where you can watch a cover of the collection of stories. Nearby, you will see an abandoned platform. Follow the tracks and you will reach a huge dam on the right.
