Keeper Boat Walkthrough (Clean & Corrupted Water)

After spending some time as a lighthouse in Keeper, players will transform into a boat, and they must then navigate through two sections. The first of those sections is filled with clean water and brightly-colored coral, while the second has been overtaken with corruption. Getting through these boat sections in Keeper can be a bit tricky, and this walkthrough is intended for players who may be stuck.

This walkthrough is split into two sections, the first covering the "clean ocean" and the second covering the "corrupted ocean."

Keeper Clean Ocean Walkthrough

Through Slime Grotto

After flopping into the water, follow the path forward, ascending blue ramps as necessary. This path eventually leads into a cave, and players should head right at the fork. Beyond the fork, players will find a stone wall blocking the way, and they should focus their light on the yellow growth to its right to clear the path.

As players continue forward, they will encounter several more obstacles that must be cleared by destroying yellow growths. The first of those obstacles can be cleared simply by focusing your light on the two growths attached to it. The second is cleared by focusing your light on the green pod on the left. And the third is cleared by focusing your light on three growths, two of which are tucked away in an alcove.

There is another obstacle in the next room, and players can destroy it by focusing their light on the growth that is attached to it and on the growth attached to the opposite side of the room. Players can then exit the cave to continue exploring Keeper's world.

Collect Four Small Creatures in The Coral Sanctum

Players will now reunite with the bird (and its baby) and work through a sequence that centers around sailing next to some very large creatures. At the end of that sequence, players will pass through a short corridor and dock on the island at its far end. This docking will cause a small creature to board the boat, and players must now find three more of them in the open area beyond a shell gate.

For the second creature, head to the tall tree with the purple top that is forward and to the right. Focus your light on all the yellow growths that are attached to the tree, some of which will be revealed after destroying the first set, and dock on the island to collect the creature.

Now head to the alcove that is just past the tree. Here, focus your light on the three orange plants until they bloom. This will make it possible to dock and collect the third creature.

Exit the alcove and go forward and to the left to run into an island covered with tall, pink coral. It is possible to dock at one side of this island to collect the fourth creature.

Players should now sail to the large island near the entrance to the area, the one with the pink orbs hovering above it. There is a creature with a staff on one side of this island, and players can dock near it to release the creatures they have collected. This action will cause an orb to be dispensed, and players should use the bird to collect it.

After collecting the orb, insert it into the illuminated statue that is just past the large island. Now sail to the large statue that has emerged from the water and guide its light toward the obstacle that is blocking the path that leads to the next area.

Collect Four Drifters at the Lock Keeper

In this next area, begin by heading forward and to the right to approach an arch created by roots. There is a small creature, a Drifter, floating in the water in front of that arch, and players should use the bird to interact with it. Players should then follow the Drifter under the arch and into a small alcove. There is another Drifter there, and getting close to it will cause both creatures to follow the boat.

Now sail to the back-left corner of the area. Players will find an alcove where a Drifter is sitting on top of a creature in this position, and here is how to get the Drifter to follow you:

Send the bird to the crank on the left.
Wind the crank so that the bucket is under the falling water.
Wind the crank so that the filled bucket is above the Drifter.
Focus your light on the bucket's eye.

Leave the alcove and sail to the illuminated statue that is peaking out of the water, just in front of the large, smoking machine. Use the bird to reset its bulb, and then sail back to the alcove. A large statue will have now emerged from the water, and players should guide its light to the nearby gate. Once the top of the gate has been activated by the light, focus your light on the bottom eye to open it.

Enter the cave beyond the gate, and go right at the fork. Focus your light on the yellow growth you encounter to clear an obstacle. There is an orb in the alcove past the obstacle, and players should use their bird to collect it.

Head to the other side of the fork, and use the bird to clear the vines on the right. Now use your light to destroy the three growths in the area and free the fourth Drifter. Notably, players will need to focus their light on the ovular section of the left wall to reveal one of the growths.

With the fourth Drifter collected, leave the cave and sail back to the large, smoking machine. Insert the new bulb into the illuminated statue next to that machine, and then sail to the large statue that has emerged. Use the light from this statue to break through a series of barriers and access an alcove with a large bone, which the Drifters will lift. Follow the creatures up the bone to enter an alcove with a third orb.

After using the bird to collect the bulb, sail up the ramp and return to the large, smoking machine. Insert the bulb into the final illuminated statue to open the large machine, and then enter it to access the next area and continue Keeper's story.

Keeper Corrupted Ocean Walkthrough

The Lighthouse

Follow the path forward to reach a section that centers around briefly controlling the lighthouse. During this section, you can focus your light on the approaching creatures to send them away, though you will eventually be overwhelmed by them.

The First Creature

After retaking control of the boat, follow the path forward, focusing your light to get through corrupted water when necessary. This path will ultimately lead players to a creature that is caught in the corruption, and they should focus their light on the corruption to clear it and free the creature. The creature will then clear the path, and players should continue to follow it.

Players will soon run into an obstacle that they can destroy by focusing their light on the yellow growth attached to it. Players should then focus their light on the pink eye that is revealed to clear it. There is an alcove just beyond that eye, and here is how to remove the obstacle that is found within it:

Send the bird to the crank on the structure to the right.
Wind the crank to bring the dangling object all the way up.
Wind the second crank to point the object's light at the right eye.
Focus your light on the left eye.

In the next area, head towards the pink eye, and focus your light on the two yellow growths to reveal a second eye. Now sail to the left, and focus your light on the pink vines that are holding an orb. This will cause the vines to retract and the orb to fall into a pipe.

The pipe will take the orb to a large statue near the pink eye, and players should guide the light that it emits to the pink eye on the right. Players should then focus their light on the pink eye on the left to clear the obstacle, and then focus their light on the pink barrier in the next area to continue moving forward.

In the next area, follow the path, sticking to the right, to run into a yellow growth that should be destroyed by focusing your light on it. Then sail to the left, traveling under the pipe, to find an orb that is covered with corruption. Focus your light on the corruption to clear it and free the orb, sending it into the pipe.

Follow the orb as it travels through the pipe, and dash into it when it gets stuck. Then focus your light on corruption that traps the orb to free it again, allowing it to roll into a statue and activate it. Guide the light that the statue emits towards the pink eye on the right to clear the obstacle.

Collect Two Drifters

In the next area, head forward and to the left to find a Drifter trapped behind some corrupted water. Focus your light on the corruption to clear it, making it possible for the Drifter to follow you.

There is a pipe section near the first Drifter that is being swarmed, and players should now focus their light on it. This will cause the swarm to surround the boat, and players should once again focus their light to disperse it.

Return to the entrance to the area, and this time go forward and to the right. Keep an eye on the left as you travel down this path to find a water flow, which can be used to enter a cave. Clear the corruption that is trapping the orb in this cave to send it down a pipe.

There is a waterfall across from the water flow, and there is a shrine that can be activated behind it.

Players must now turn their attention to redirecting the green light beam inside the cave, and here is how that is done:

Focus your light on the pink vines to the left to reveal a crank.
Send the bird to the crank. You must keep your light on the vines.
Wind the crank to move the suspended device toward the pink eye, stopping when it sends the green beam into the eye.

Now exit the cave to enter an alcove with a Drifter. Focus your light on the corrupted water to clear it and free the creature.

Leave the alcove, and head towards the pink eye on the left. Focus your light on that eye to clear the obstacle, allowing the orb that was inside the cave to continue along the pipe. Follow the orb until it gets stuck, and send a Drifter to lift the broken track. Send the other Drifter when the orb gets stuck again, and then sail up the ramp that is created to send the orb into a large statue. Now guide the statue's light towards the right pink eye and focus your light on the left pink eye to clear the path.

Head into the next area, and focus your light on the pink barrier to clear it. The section beyond the barrier centers around enticing two small creatures to move, and here is how to get through it:

Focus your light on the orange plant on the right side of the bridge to make it bloom.
Focus your light on the yellow growth in the alcove where the creature started once it moves to the plant.
Focus your light on the growth to the left of the alcove.
Sail under the spikes on the left, and focus your light on the growth to the right.
Focus your light on the pink eye that is revealed.
Head to the back-left corner of the area that is now accessible to find an orb, clearing the corrupted water in front of it.
Send the bird to the orb.
Focus your light on the orange plant to the right of the bridge until it blooms.
Sail down and to the right, passing under a bridge, to access an area with two orange plants, both of which should be made to bloom.
Sail next to where the creature is waiting and dock.
Take the creature into the area where you just made two plants bloom and dock on the left side.
Sail to the right and make two more orange plants bloom in the next area.
Clear the corruption when it appears in the water and dock to give the creature another ride.
Sail right, up, and to the left to reach another dock, which will allow the creature to reach the last two plants that bloomed.

There is a ramp to the left of the final dock, which can be used to enter an alcove with a shrine that can be activated.

After reaching the last plant, the creature will release the orb into a pipe, and players should follow it. Once the orb activates the large statue, guide its light to the right pink eye and focus your light on the left pink eye to clear an obstacle.

The Second Creature

There is another creature trapped in corrupted water in the next area, and players should use their light to free it. Players should then take these actions to clear the next obstacle:

Focus your light on the pink growth to the right of the pink eyes.
Send the bird to the flower that appears and tug on it.
Sail down and to the left to find a tunnel marked with pink vines. Enter it to be transported to a new area.
Focus your light on the two yellow growths that are tucked into the shells.
Focus your light on the wall to the left to find two growths that should be destroyed.
Destroy two more growths in the water.
Use the bird to collect an orb in the water.

Players should now take the orb to the left, clearing corrupted water as necessary, to reach a ramp. Players will find an illuminated statute just past that ramp, and they should insert the orb into it. Players must now simply focus their light on the central pink eye to clear the obstacle.

In the next area, approach the large pink creature and focus your light on it. This will trigger a cinematic sequence, which marks the end of the boat section of Keeper.
