Quick Links
Roki is an adventure game that follows a young girl named Tove, who travels through the uncharted, snowcapped wilderness to find her younger brother Lars and rescue him from Roki, a pitch-black monster of legend. Throughout Roki, Trove w🦄ill solve puzzles, unravel a deep and emotional storꦕy, and collect strange relics.
In this guide, we will walk you through every puzzle, dialogue choice, and action you need to take in the first chapter of Roki to progress further into the story. This chapter is more of an introduction to the game's systems and story, resulting in mainly straightforward puzzles and choices. Still, if you are stuck, the guide below should have your solution!
Tutorial
Roki will open up with a basic tutorial that shows you the systems and mechanics you will be using throughout the majority of the game. Things such as combining items and dragging them onto the object/pers🍷on you need to interact with to ཧprogress further in the game.
At the start of Roki, you will get introduced to the main character Tove and her little brother Lars. Here, the basic premise is Tove says it's time to go home while Lars has different plans and decides to play a quick round of "hide and seek" before heading home.
After the game teaches you how to move around, sprint, and open your inventory, Lars will hide behind a giant wooden statue, prompting Tove to find a way to get him out from behind it. To do that, walk to the statue's right and collect a snowball from in front of a tree.
From there, open your inventory and drag the snowball icon over the statue to have Tove throw 🎀the snowball at it. After she performs the action, Lars will pop out from behind the statue and continue heading home. You will cross a bridge and promptly start the first chapter.
Fixing Mr. Jotun
After you cross over the bridge, you will see Lars standing in the distance sobbing with a stuffed animal at his feet. Approach him to learn that it's his favorite toy, Mr. Jotun, which he dropped, causing its eye to pop out. After you assess the situation, pick Mr. Jotun up and look for a way to fix him.
With Mr. Jotun in your inventory, head to the cabinet on the back left wall of🍌 the house. To the right of the parked yellow car. Once there, search the upper left drawer to find a tube of glue that you can use to patch Mr. Jotun up.
Next, open your inventory and drag the glue icon over Mr. Jotun's icon to fix him up. When he's all patched up, head back to Lars, open your inventory once more, and drag Mr. Jotun to Lars to give him back his toy. Lars will thank you and run into the house, follow him in to continue the chapter.
Making Dinner
After you patched Mr. Jotun up, it's time to head inside the house and fix dinner up for Lars and yourself. To prepare a meal, you will first have to gather all the necessary ingredients from within the kitchen.
First, grab the frying pan to the right of the stove and above the small mouse hole on the wall. Then, from there, look left to see a wooden bowl on the shelf to the left of the stove and walk over to it and pick it up. Next, head to the fridge, open it and grab the carton of eggs sitting inside. Finally, it's time to mix the ingredients and cook the food.
(Note: Before continuing, walk further into the room and go behind Lars. You will see Mr. Jotun on the floor. Pick him up for a later time as Lars doesn't want him at the moment.)
Before cooking the eggs, you must first prepare them. To do that, pull up your inventory and drag the carton of eggs over the bowl you picked up to whisk the eggs together. Then, head over ♎to the stove, open your inventory again, and drag the pan on top of the stove. Now, open your inventory once more to drag the bowl of e🧸ggs onto the pan to prepare dinner.
Bed Time Story
Following dinner, it is time for you and Lars to check in for the night. But first, before you do that, you have to add more firewood into the furnace to keep the house warm throughout the night. Head over to the furnace beside Daddy Hendrik and grab a piece of dry wood that's on the floor to the right, then open your inventory and drag the piece of wood over the furnace to keep the fire going.
After the fire has been taken care of, climb up the ladder to clock out for the night. When you get upstairs, you will see Lars jumping up and down on the bed, and ultimately wants to have a bedtime story read to him, along with Mr. Jotun. Grab the book that's at the foot of your bed, then make your way over to Lars. When beside Lars, open your inventory and drag Mr. Jotun to him if you grabbed it earlier (if not, retrieve it from downstairs).
Next up, after giving Lars his stuffed animal, it's time for you to read him the book you previously picked up. Open your inventory once more and drag the book over Lars to read him a bedtime fairytale. Let the cutscene play out, then continue onto the next section.
Bathroom Break
Tove falls asleep while reading to Lars and gets jolted awake as he n༺eeds to use the restroom. However, the bathroom is outside, and you have to accompany him to make sure nothing happens to him along the way. So, after Lars gets dressed, you make your way downstairs.
When downstairs, Tove notices the fire is a bit low again. Make your way over to the furnace, grab another piece of wood, open your inventory and drag it over the furnace to keep t🎉he fire going, just like before.
Next, make your way outside to see a large murder of crows sitting in front of the house. Lars, obviously, is terrified that there are over a dozen crows in the front yard and refuses 🍃🌳to walk to the bathroom until you take care of them.
To deal with the crᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚows, walk towards the ones on the ground to chase them off, then head behind the well directly across the house to♌ find a pile of rocks. Pick the stones up, then make your way over to the outhouse.
Open your inventory and drag the rocks over the crows. Tove will then toss the stones at the crows, chasing them off the roof of the outhouse. With the pathway clear of crows, Lars will finally go to the restroom. Let the cutscene play out, then coꦦntinue to the next steps.
The Monster Outside (Upstairs)
After Lars finishes his business, you both quickly head inside due to weird sounds and violent shakes coming from the woods. Once inside, a small cutscene will play out, and a monster's arm will burst through the wall and start reaching around aimlessly.
In a panic, you have to look around to room for something that will repel the monster. There will be a piece of wood on the floor with a sharp point. Pick it up, open your inventory, then drag it over the monster's hand to have Tove stab it. The beast will roar, look through the hole in the wall, and then walk away.
Once the monster leaves, you will have to find a way to get downstairs since the ladder got knocked down. Walk over to the beds and gather pieces of clothing scattered across them due to the monster's attack. There will be three articles of clothing to pick up, and all of them are by the hole in the wall.
With the three articles of clothing collected, open your inven𒁏tory and combine them to create a makeshift rope. From there, drag the clothes rope to the piece of wood on the edge of the floor. Lars will descend to the downstairs first, then you will follow shortly after.
The Monster Outside (Downstairs)
Once downstairs, the monster returns with a vengeance, and you have to chase it off yet again. This time, however, it's going to take a lot more than just a piece of wood. Survey the room and locate the following items: A beer bottle (next to Daddy Hendrik) and a piece of cloth (on the floor beside the carpet).
When you have both the beer bottle and piece of cloth, open your inventory and place it over the furnace to create a Molotov Cocktail. Next, op𝓡en your inventory again and throw it at the beast to set it in a blaze and chance it awa🦩y once more.
The Monster Outside (Basement)
After chasing the beast away with a Molotov Cocktail, you will head down into the basement. Once down there, head over ꧂to Lars and then🔜 look for the last box on the left. Go over to it and search it to obtain a chisel.
From there, walk behind the steps and to the other half of the room. There will be a flashlight standing up on a box. Grab it ꦑand make your way towards the cabinet on the wall to the right. Search the draws until you reach the bottom one, which appears to be stuck. Open the drawer with the chisel to obtain a screwdriver.
Next, search the bookshelf directly beside the cabinet to find a battery. Now, open your inventory and combine the battery with the flashlight, to which Tove will state she still needs one more for it to work. Make your way back over to Lars and use theꦬ screwdriver on his robot for the second battery, which you can safely combine with your flashlight to make it work again.
With both batteries in the flashlight, shine it on the sleigh hanging from the ceiling. The light from the flashlight will attract the beast once more, having it punch🌌 through the basement ceiling, knocking the sleigh down.
Now, a cutscene will play out, showing you and Lars ride the sleigh down a hill outside of the house to get far away from the monster. With the bea🌞st roaring in the background, and th꧂e house on fire, you have finished the first chapter of Roki!
