Find the hotel and Zoe
Head southwest toward the hotel before the city map is fully available. Clear the enemies, then follow Zoe’s alley route and the bird trail through the window toward the television. The TV leads into the first Jesse sequence; it is a progression interaction rather than background scenery.
Finish the first movement ritual
Follow Jesse’s platforms and the tutorial instructions for Double Jump, Elevate and Rush. Use the televisions to move between the ritual spaces. Continue through the exit rather than stopping after receiving the first movement instruction.
Defeat The Artist and choose
From the vantage point, continue across the rooftops and use the gallery’s rear approach. Follow the linked Artist guide for attack openings. After the fight, enter The Gap and complete the ability selection. On older builds, quitting to the menu at this point could trap progression; 1.4.2 fixes that specific issue.
