Cairn – In Memoriam Trophy Guide

achievement, cairn, guide, In memoriam, trophy

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 In Memoriam trophy guide for Cairn.

Check out our Cairn Review to get our full thoughts on the game.

In Memoriam Trophy Guide

It’s easy to forget, especially in video games where the heroes can perform ridiculous feats, that activities like mountain climbing can claim a climber’s life. Aava does what she can to immortalize them through memory.

This guide takes you to near the end of the game, therefore, there may be some spoilers. I will attempt to be as vague as possible.

One of the many shrines you’ll encounter during your climb

For this trophy, we need to reunite an origami’s owner to the rest of its climbing crew. While it’s not necessary to learn of the origami’s backstory, it can be found in the 2nd large troglodyte village.

This shows what their climbot mapped out ahead of time, as well as each member’s name and their origami animal

Since these journal entries indicate that Yamina was unfortunately left behind, we need to locate the lynx origami and place it past where the team ascended to.

The map indicates that Yamina’s climbot was last seen at the top right area here

You can find the location here, though I attempted it in several ways, as I kept failing. The one on the left was my initial attempt. However, I ran out of resources and decided to head up and rappel down towards the hidden cave instead. As usual, in Cairn there are always more than one way to tackle the climb.

In the cave, you’ll find poor Yamina, as well as her lynx origami. Now that it’s in your backpack, it’s time to reunite her with her team.

Progress the main story until you meet up with Marco near the end of your climb atop Kami. There you’ll see a cutscene with Marco as he shows you a shrine of fallen climbers.

You’ll see many backpacks in this room, so it may be easily missed. It’s near the middle and will have the Look prompt

Congrats on the trophy as you solemly place the lynx in Memoriam.

That was our In Memoriam trophy guide. We hope that it was helpful and that you learned from the trial and errors we experienced!
