Chapter 1: Stuck at the hot-air balloon

[Deadly S-aï-leun-ce]

Hey guys,
I went through different topics but apparently I'm the only noob getting stuck at first chapter (red). feelsbadman...
I usually don't like playing these games because I always get stuck at some point. But GRIS is just too beautiful to ignore. I thought I'd give it a try.

There is a hot-air balloon and I guess I'm supposed to get on the second level by jumping on the rock, I tried a bunch of different techniques and none works.
It's very frustrating as I'd really like to explore more than just one chapter.

See here: Screenshot 1[imgur.com], Screenshot 2[imgur.com]

If anyone can give me a clue,
Thanks

It is some time ago, but it was some kind of "timed weight" riddle. If I remember correctly, you have to stand on the platform of the balloon and "drag it down" with your weight.

Jump off at the right time and quickly jump over the rightern fixed platforms to get higher and finally reach directly the top platform of the balloon. From there quickly further to the left (before you push down the balloon too much) to reach the "star" and slide down the slope.

Thanks a lot for taking time to answer me, Kelrycor.
I already tried to drag it down, but as soon as I get off, it goes up again and I'm too slow to catch up with it to get to the top platform.

I'll give it another shot tomorrow, enough failed jumps for today haha

This is how it is done:

Good luck, and have fun with the game :D

I see perfectly! I’m just too slow. Lol
Thanks so much!

There is only a memento up there, you don't need it to complete the game... BUT, if you collected all mementos in the game you can watch a hidden cutscene that is explaining a lot more about the story.

But don't worry, as soon as you completed the game you get a chapter select via the EXTRA menu. From there you can jump forth and back collecting all the missing mementos - or even play from the beginning if you want.

Just DON'T USE the "new game" menu point, cause it will erase all your progress: your last checkpoint, collected mementos, and the chapter select will be locked again. So never use it ;)

[Deadly S-aï-leun-ce]

Just got it! Yayyyyy
I’m trying to collect the mementos, if it’s too hard, I’ll try to finish all 5 chapters first and go back as you suggested.

You’ve been really helpful :D

[Kelrycor]

You're welcome :D

I hope that you already Van get The baloon. You realy need to be fast to get it and found The archviment. You Just need to down till The floor and jump fast and wait The baloon up for you to jump.
This baloon its not necessary for The history game, its Just to found The archviment, but you can skip it and back later, because you Will learn a lot of New mechanics ln The entire game.

Got a real problem here. I fall off and enden up at the first windmill where you balance the platform to get up.. once I'm in the top/middle of this windmill the camera loses focus and pans up to the hotair balloon and I'm not longer able to see Gris movements and get back to the baloon. #stucked #plzhelp #possiblebug

This happens for some people that they fall / clip thorugh the floor and end up in an area or get stuck. It is definitely a bug.

Just leave the game and continue on your last checkpoint. Hope you aren't softlocked.

I've contacted nomada studios and sent them the savegame, they're trying to fix this \o/
