Quick Guide
For an entire route, choose the chapter walkthrough. If only a Basement picture, crystal or paper puzzle blocks you, choose Basement puzzles. Use the table to resume at your unfinished checkpoint instead of repeating the opening.
Completion Route Map
Keep chapter completion separate from its earlier checkpoints. The Farmhouse handoff leads into its ending. Normal Basement needs both its Key and three accepted puzzles; either line of work can come first. Ranch continues from delivered parts and finished repairs into the fight and drive. Follow the relevant walkthrough through its ending signal.
Search For The Needle Chapters FAQ
Should I use the Farmhouse walkthrough or a Guides article?
Use Guides for the collection loop, Needle search, inputs or troubleshooting. Choose the Farmhouse walkthrough when you need the full route through the handoff and ending.
Basement walkthrough or Basement puzzles: which fits my checkpoint?
Choose the walkthrough for the Key, levers, room access or exit. Choose Basement puzzles for a picture, crystal or paper clue and its acceptance check. The Key and accepted puzzles remain separate escape requirements.
Can I resume Ranch after finding parts or defeating the Golem?
Use the Ranch walkthrough at the stage you reached. It separates delivery from repair completion and continues beyond the fight to the car key and departure. Read its equipment conditions before using the combat example.
Which UFO guide covers my objective?
The Farmhouse red-button event and Find the UFO badge check are in Resources. Repairing the crashed Ranch ship is part of the Chapter 3 walkthrough.
