Introduction:

Pillar is a collection of mini-games each designed around different people who represent different personality traits. These games are puzzle based and range from ones designed around sneaking, to others where you have to meticulously plan a path. The trophies in this game are all relatively straightforward and reward you with "Notes" for completing them. This game can be rushed through with the use of a slight walkthrough. However, in order to fully enjoy the game it is highly recommended you try to solve all puzzles yourself and to track down all hidden Notes yourself.


Walkthrough:

Step 1: Complete all mini-games until you reach the end credits and the Pillar in each.

The first step is to play through to the end of each respective mini-games until you reach the end credits and the Pillar. Sometimes, the game will stop progression with a certain character and force you to use another. Just keep playing and you will eventually be able to finish. While you complete this step, you will want to collect as many Notes as possible.

At the end of this step, you will earn:

Pillar Found


Step 2: Clean up all Notes from each game

Once you have completed each mini-game, you will want to return to each one and collect any missing Notes. Most notes are found by completing each puzzle of each personality type. However, a fair number of Notes are hidden and can only be found under specific conditions. See each trophy below for specific Pillar locations.

At the end of this step, you will earn:

Distant
Focused
Giving / Capable
Enduring / Renewing


Step 3: Reach any Pillar with 100% of the Notes in each personality

After you have earned all Notes, simply reach any Pillar and you will unlock the final trophy.

At the end of this step, you will earn:

Great Knowledge and Understanding

6 trophies ( 5  )

  • Find the Pillar.

    After you have reached the end of a puzzle, you will come through a vertical hallway with the credits on each side. At the end of the Hallway, there is a room with a Pillar and a circle of light. You have to reach the Pillar and step in the light in each of the 4 Puzzle types. After you have reached your fourth, the trophy will unlock.

 

Secret trophies

  • Understand the Distant personality. (Note 100% complete)

    You earn this trophy by collecting all 7 Notes in the Distant puzzles. Distant puzzles are stealthier puzzles where you use to set sound pads that attract enemies. If you get caught, you end up in a weird Shadow World. You can use this Shadow World to skip areas, however, you will not earn a Note. In this personality, you do not have to touch the Notes to pick them up. Just getting close to them will suffice. See here for a full walkthrough (credit to pennysticks): LINK

    Here are the locations of the Notes:

    • 1-3:The first 3 notes are earned after finishing each area. They will be in your path as you progress from one area to the next.
    • 4: Once you have completed both the Distant and the Focused personality’s, both characters will meet up. You must successfully navigate both characters to the end to earn this Note.
    • 5:In the Home area (the first area) get caught by the first enemy you see. When you end up in the Shadow World, run all the way to the right, back to the character’s home. The note is in the house.
    • 6: In the School area (the second area), get caught by the first enemy you see. When you end up in the Shadow World, run to the right. The Note will be in a lit-up section of hallway a short ways away.
    • 7: In the Church area (the third area), get caught by the first enemy you see. When you end up in the Shadow World, run to the left. The Note will be quite a ways down in plain sight. It is after the family on the couch and the guy working at the desk.
  • Understand the Focused personality. (Note 100% complete)

    You earn this trophy by collecting all 7 Notes in the Focus puzzles. Focused puzzles are another set of stealth puzzles, only this time you press to shout at enemies to lure them to locations. If you get caught, you also end up in the Shadow World. Like before, you can use this world to skip areas, although you won't get a Note for this. See here for a full walkthrough (credit to pennysticks): LINK

    Here are the locations of the Notes:

    • 1-3: The first 3 notes are earned after finishing each area. They will be in your path as you progress from one area to the next.
    • 4: Once you have completed both the Distant and the Focused personalities, both characters will meet up in the Park area. You must successfully navigate the female character to the end to earn this Note. If you successfully navigate both the female and the male to the end, you will receive a Note for each of them.
    • 5: In the Dorm area (the first area), get caught by the first enemy you see. You will end up in a room with "Which one is red?" written on the ground. Walk to the left to find the Note in the shadows. There will be a woman in the way. You need to go over top of her to get past.
    • 6: In the Lab area (the second area), get caught by the first enemy you see. When you end up in the Shadow World, immediately walk up. The Note will be right near the wall.
    • 7: In the Post Office area (the third area), get caught by the first enemy you see. You will end up in the Shadow World in a Library. Navigate your way through the 2 rooms until you step outside onto the snow. As soon as you reach this point, walk up. The Note will be in the corner.
  • Understand the Giving and Capable personalities. (Note 100% complete)

    You earn this trophy by collecting all 14 Notes in the Giving/Capable puzzles. Giving/Capable puzzles involve hitting floor switches to illuminate lamps. Yellow switches illuminate, red switches destroy/extinguish lamps, and blue switches repair lights. You do not actually have to finish all puzzles in order to reach the Pillar at the end. However, you do need to complete each puzzle in order to collect Notes. See here for a full walkthrough (credit to pennysticks): LINK

    The locations of each of the Notes and a full walkthrough for the lamp puzzles are located below:

    • 1: The first Note in this area is found in the beginning area of the Giving personality, in the Cathedral. When you start, you will notice some glowing golden beams to your left and a calendar in the top right. Enter the gold beams and your character will pray and advance the day by one. Pray 4 times and you will be transported to another area. Walk to the right and you will see the Note in the bottom-middle room, to the south of the statue.
    • 2-14: The remaining 13 Notes are all located in puzzles. Once you have successfully illuminated all the lamps in a puzzle, you will receive the Note. If you need to check whether or not you have completed the puzzle, you can look at the centre of the puzzle. The note will be darkened if you have not collected it. See the video below for a walkthrough for all puzzles or select your starting point:

      Suburbs Start; Hospital Start; Garden Start.

  • Understand the Enduring and Renewing personalities. (Note 100% complete)

    You earn this trophy by collecting all 4 Notes in the Enduring/Renewing puzzles. The Enduring/Renewing Puzzles are similar to Pac-Man, in that you have to collect orbs. However, there is only a single enemy chasing you, there are teleporters and there are numbers on the ground that hurt and kill your character. As such, you have to carefully plan your route and react to the enemy. There will be 5 different layouts you need to finish in order to reach the end. See here for a full walkthrough (credit to pennysticks): LINK

    Here are the locations of the Notes:

    • 1-2: Earned by completing the mini-games. These are in plain sight.
    • 3: Once you have reached the Credits Hallway, before you reach the Pillar let the Lady in Black touch you. Rather than killing you, this turns you into an orb of energy. Providing you are energy, the next Note will be right in front of the Pillar.
    • 4: Replay the Enduring/Renewing puzzle a second time. You will have to do a different arrangement of puzzles this time. Another Note will appear at the end.
  • Understand the Pillar.

    Once you have every Note in every puzzle, simply return to any Pillar and the trophy will unlock. The easiest to reach is the Giving/Capable Pillar. Load the Garden area and run through every puzzle; you do not have to complete them.
