Cairn – I Did It!, Return To The Source, & The Secret Trophy Guide

Cairn, a recently released mountain climbing simulator by The Game Bakers, may be a mostly solitary and gruelling experience. However, every budding pro-climber needs to have some training and knowledge if they hope to defeat Kami, something that no one has done before. Here is our trophy guide for the I Did It!, Return to the Source, and The Secret trophies in Cairn.

Check out our Cairn Review for our full thoughts on the game.


I Did It!, Return to the Source, & The Secret Trophy Guide

You reached the summit!

NOT! You still have about a third to go. Perhaps you can get a taste of what’s to come by climbing the mini-Kami.

To get started, you must have progressed far enough into the main story until you’ve crossed The Needle. Once through, you’ll come across the third troglodyte village, filled with cave structures.

Ignore my many failures on the right there. I was too scared to climb ice, buuuut, it’s definitely the “preferred” way to go

Head to the right entrance, leading you into a cave, then exit right. Before you do, though, make a quick stop at the left fork and fondle the salamander there to get the Return to the Source trophy!

From here, you can venture off on your own, with the goal of going up. I have no doubts that you’ll notice the stone sphere-like structure in the middle of this area. However, if you just want to bee-line to the goal, follow this route:

Once you’ve made it inside the sphere, you’ll see the mini-Kami in the middle. Attempt to climb it, and you’ll be rewarded with temporary joy.

Once you’re done practising what you’ll do after you reach the real summit, climb back down and look at the statue to the left of mini-Kami, and you’ll see your third and final Troglodyte piton as well as The Secret trophy!

What a productive trek, eh? Congrats on nabbing these three trophies!
