The Deer God

Story-related

You will receive relics from story-related quests. In order to progress, you need to make sure you're also interacting with the elder deer you encounter as they give you special abilities that are required to help progress the story. They aren't directly-relic related, but you won't get some of the relic quests until you speak with elders. All of that is covered in the story walkthrough below.

This trophy will pop when you take the last relic you receive from beating the eagle to an alter. Once you place that relic, the trophy will pop and your playthrough will come to the screen where you choose whether to become an elder deer or a human.

You'll receive relics from the following sources:

• The old man who's lost his monocles
• The woman/family who needs witchhazel
• The priest who needs new worshippers
• The ghost man looking for his wife
• Defeating the Turtle Boss
• The witch and her sister
• The diver that needs his ship released
• Defeating the Eagle

Below is a story walkthrough:

This will be a quick and abbreviated walkthrough. The basic rule of thumb is...interact with everything you encounter. To talk to the elder deers or friendly humans you encounter press

You'll first come across an elder deer that you need to speak with to receive the double jump ability.

Your next encounter will be with a man who has lost his monocles. You'll need to progress to the right until you come across his house. Enter the house, he'll tell you the monocles are in some bushes. Right outside of the house destroy the bushes that will drop the monocles. Return them to him and he'll give you your first relic.

Your next encounter will be with another elder deer. He'll ask you double jump over a waterfall looking area. It's impossible to miss. Simply keep right and you'll come across him again and he'll award you with the dash ability.

Next you'll come across a family in the desert area. The woman will explain she needs witch hazel. You may or may not already have it. If you have it, give it to her. If you don't just continue to the right until you find some in bushes etc and eventually you'll loop back around to her. DON'T GO BACK TO THE LEFT. Just continue right and she'll appear again. Once you give her the witch hazel she'll give you the relic.

After that you'll come to a church in a cemetery/swamp area. Inside, a priest will ask you to find him worshippers. Right outside of the church and to the right is a couple. Stand in with them for 3 seconds or so and then go back to the church. They should follow you. Take them inside and the priest will give you another relic.

Your next quest will come when you reach a river boat in the swamp area. Go inside and you'll find a ghost. He'll ask you to find his wife. Leave and go right. Eventually you will find a woman. Speak with her, get the photo and then head right. When you come to the boat again go inside and speak with the ghost. He'll open the area to the right where the relic is. Grab it and leave.

The next encounter is with the 3rd elder deer. He'll give you the razor hoof ability (stomp). Short after this ability is given you'll come to your first story boss, the turtle. He'll be inside the cave you encounter shortly after being given this ability. Stomp him to death, GRAB THE RELIC HE DROPS and move along.

The next elder deer you encounter will ask you to take care of a witch. She's in the next cave area and towards the top. You'll need to pay attention to the openings in the ceiling and jump up there when you find it to encounter her house. Go inside and she's going to attempt to curse you. Just jump over her curse attempts, they are easy to time. If she hits you leave the house and go back inside. She will get tired eventually and then drop the key to her sisters house. Go right once again until you reach the next house and go inside. This witch will ask you to take care of the skunks outside. There are four you need to kill. Their stink will kill you fast so use the fireball power if you have it to take them out. If you don't stomp them and run away. Rinse and repeat until they're all dead. Go back inside and she'll award you with another relic.

The next area with a quest is at a large lake. You'll need to swim down and find a diver. Make sure you come back up frequently for air. For this underwater quest you need to push the block with deer head all the way to the left as far as it will go so that the fish will eat away at the plants above the block you need to crush. Then use the stomp ability to break the rock and it will free the ship. Once this is done the diver will give you a relic.

You'll next encounter another elder that asks you to free some deer from the mountain. Head right and you'll eventually come across two deer located under some frozen rocks. Break the rocks to the right so the deer are able to escape and follow you. You only need one to follow you to the elder deer to complete the quest. If you come across only ONE deer under frozen rocks, the sidequest is glitched. Continue right until you come across it again and it has two deer. When you complete this, the elder will tell you that you are one with the deer or something lol Continue right...

You'll get grabbed by an eagle and this start the last boss fight and last quest. See Deer Boss for tips on beating the eagle. Once you beat him he'll give you the last relic and you'll need to place it in the later (the large statue with deer on it) and the trophy will pop and end the playthrough.
