Walkthrough Eastward - game guide

At the moment, pixelated Eastward has been translated into several foreign languages, including English and Chinese, but, unfortunately, it does not have Russian localization. Therefore, I will duplicate the names of some items, quests, tasks and locations in brackets in English. At the same time, the Russian translation is mine, the author's, and if localization ever appears, some points may differ slightly.

Buy treasure hunter

After starting the game, leave the house. Before doing anything, you should buy a treasure hunter from Johnny's Emporium. This place is located in the very northeast (upper right) corner of the current location. Treasure Seeker will be equipped forever. And every time you get close to the treasure chest, it will make a certain sound. There is a chest in the far southwest (lower left) corner of the area that contains 50 Salt , the main currency in the game. Climb the stairs and head west.

The path to the mine

In the next area, you will stop near a bar. You cannot enter here. At the top of this area, you'll see a Hello Grocery grocery and an Earth Born arcade game. The grocery store is closed and a memory card is required to unlock the slot machine.

Head south down the hill and turn right to find a treasure chest containing 50 more salt . Now go east (left) to get to the miners' dorms (diggers). Enter Dormitory #3 to find a chest containing 50 Salt . Get out of here and go west (to the right) to enter the mines. In the next area, head north to trigger a cutscene.

A Slug Problem

After a short cut-scene, Chuck will appear and report problems with the slug. You can now save using the refrigerator in the room. Then head south (down) to the exit that Chuck came through. It's time to enter the first battle. Drag the box to the right to get to the slugs.

On the Switch, you need to press the Y button to attack the slugs with a frying pan. To defeat them, you will have to turn off the generator blocking the power line. Once the slugs are defeated, plug in the power line at the bottom of the area and turn the generator back on to open the nearest door. Open the chest located inside and get the key .

Turn off the power where the slugs were and connect to another line. This will open the door in the upper left corner of the room, but if you try to go through it, Chuck will stop and tell you to bomb the nests. Enter the room where Chuck is standing (in the northeast corner) and use the key on the door. When you open it, you will find bombs . You can now place them by pressing the X on the Switch.

Place the bombs next to the crates blocking the path to the pantry on the left. Enter and plant a bomb next to the nest to destroy it. You can now exit the room through the door you opened earlier at the far west end. Bomb the crates and go outside.

In the next room, blow up the crates on the left path. Beware of the electric slug that will fall from the ceiling. Then head north and blow up the slug nest to destroy it. If you're low on bombs, you can find more in the yellow barrels on the right as you enter this area.

There is a wall in the easternmost part of the corridor, blowing it up will reveal a chest with a mechanism part . Head north down the corridor to reach a new slug nest. Blow it up and go left through the door.

Here you will meet Dr. Bogutu, who will give you a hot dog that restores health. Leave the area the same way you came here. Watch the cutscene, which will open the door on the right. You have to fight with a handful of slugs. After the door closes behind you, go down the stairs.

Fight your way through the rows of slugs and destroy all three nests. There are a lot of barrels here to replenish ammo (bombs). When you blow up the last nest, increase your maximum health by 1 heart. Leave the mines and after the cutscene you will get 2 Sandrupe - an ingredient for cooking something. Return to Potkrok Island for a cut-scene near Hello Grocery.

First interaction with Earth Born

After the cutscene, you must help Sam find friends. Head to the Hello Grocery store and spend 25 salt on a memory card . Exit the store to familiarize yourself with the Earth Born arcade machine. Complete the training. Don't worry, you can't win. As a result, you will receive the first Pixball - an item that is used when playing Earth Born. You can buy even more from the machine to the left of the slot machine using tokens found in some chests.

Improving the frying pan at Sunny Side Ranch

You can now find Mason at Sunny Side Ranch. Return to the first area of the island and go through the exit at the very top. You will enter the School. Head east to continue towards the ranch. Once at the ranch, talk to Mason, over whose head there will be a marker. It will upgrade John's frying pan so you can now perform a charged attack. Hold y and aim where you want to attack. Return to John's house, go to the stove and cook dinner for Sam. Select the three collected Sandrupe ingredients. Prepare your pasta. After dinner, the prologue will be completed.
