Intro
Hello! Welcome to my guide on The Coffin of Andy and Leyley Chapter 3! I'd appreciate any feedback on how to improve it :) This is currently a work in progress, and I'll update it as I get further along.

This guide will eventually contain instructions on all the achievements in Ch 2, but that's a lower priority on my development than just getting the basic walkthrough done. So note the following if you're here for achieves:
Ones with a "D:" Before them are done - implemented. "W:" I will add when I reach that point in making the guide. For all other achievements I'll go back, figure out how to get, and add once the rest of the guide is complete.
D: Time Capsule,
D: No Witnesses,
D: Happy end!,
D: _____ in a Box,
W: Little Mathematician,
W: Sister Slaughterer,
W: Decaying Along
Starting Dream - Elevator levels
After moving up and speaking the "Something Terrifying," you'll end up in a strange area. To progress through it and the next three, you'll need to hop on all the books before reaching the elevator. It's important to keep in mind that you can only step on each book once. If you find yourself trapped, any island you can get trapped on will have an eraser on it that you can interact with to reset the level.

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4
Starting Dream - Family Level
Dinner
Once you go into the elevator for the 4th time, you'll end up in an area with a Grocery store (bottom left), kitchen (Bottom right), park (Top left), and a work area (Top right). There is, of course, also the dining table, portrait, and clock.

(Note: Unlike the the previous areas, in this one you can hop on top of the closed books.)

First thing you need to do is walk up to the buttons below the portrait and start smashing. You'll probably notice faces change as you do. This is the first puzzle.

(I'll put hints here as soon as I figure out why the faces are like this)

Solution:


Once you update the faces, ghosts will appear in 3 of the areas (1 is hidden behind the bush in the park). Your goal here is to prep dinner for everyone and get all the ghosts to come.
  1. Buy groceries from the pink ghost
  2. Turn groceries into food in the kitchen
  3. Set table
  4. The green ghost can't leave its area before 6, so set the clock that's to the left of the portrait to "1800" (6 pm in 24 hr time), then pick up the ghost.
  5. Pick up pink ghost

Now, to set up the ghosts at the table, there are some rules to follow:
  • Lime won't sit next to Pink
  • Lilac will sit anywhere but on the left
  • Pink will only sit next to you

Solution:


Household
You'll speak with the "Something Terrifying" again, then enter another location. Stepping off the path here will make the green ghost mad (Dunno if this has any effect on the story). First pick up all the laundry. Then pick up the detergent by the washer and put the laundry in.

Make sure to collect the key that falls, then pick up the cleaning supplies from the cupboard, and go answer the phone. Grab the second key and go clean up a couple of the paintings. After the ghost paints another image, go turn on the TV and bring her over. You can either take her drawing tools away or bring her some of your homework paper to draw on. Either way, clean up the rest of the drawings.

Once you have all the keys, unlock all the doors on the left and interact with the whiteboard.
The Past
After Ashley leaves the lunchroom, you'll need to bring her her backpack and speak with the teacher.

When you've arrived home, grab the shoe she threw at you and the one by your mother. Head out and speak with her. Once she's ran. follow her to the third floor and catch her. She'll escape and run to the second, continue following.

You can hide a shoe in the plant by the elevator, and she won't find it. You can hide the other shoe in the lower rightmost container - the one with three on top of each other. (Credit to Octavio Bannach on the second spot)

Once you arrive at your grandparents, bring your luggage to the second floor and place it by the window. Then head back downstairs and speak to the grandmother so you can collect some blueberries (How fun!)
To get the last two, enter "538" on the window padlock (numbers come from the trees), and enter the abandoned house. Grab the hammer to the right and pull the boards off of the door ahead of you. Grab the last two berries and head back to the house. After turning in the berries to your grandmother, head upstairs and grab your notebook from your backpack to start studying.

Ashley's gone - head outside and grab the trowel, then continue on. Walk over to the lumpy patch in front of the bush on the right. Dig up the time capsule to get the "Time Capsule" Achievement. Then enter the abandoned house, grab the lighter that's near the matress, and head downstairs. Light up all the candels and look in the cupboard.

Run upstairs and head out the door you pried open earlier to find Leyley. To get down to her, grab all the sticks and the stone from outside, and then interact with the bookshelf. Head down the shelf and place down the stone and wood, then head back to the basement and grab the metal sheet from the wall.

After rescuing Leyley, head back to the house. Grab the rope swing from the tree and make your way inside to the bathroom. Open the window and head out of the bathroom.

Oh, hurray, chores. Grab the sprouts from the box on the right, then the watering can. Fill the can from the barrel and begin planting the sprouts... then again. Head upstairs to the mess that is your room. Interact with the paper to complete the level.
The Gas Stop
Yay! You're here! Buy our Twinkies!
Head inside the gas station and grab stuff off of all the two middle shelves, and take a peek at the ews from the self by the door. Bring your goodies to the guy at the counter and then head into the bathroom.

Oh wonderful - the police are here. Knock on the bathroom door to try and get Leyley to hurry. Then head over to the magazine rack again and look through them. When you talk to the police, choose whatever lie fits your fancy.

Head into the woods via the path on the top right. Push the rocks to clear a path onwards.

2nd area paths:

3rd area paths:
You can choose to go left or up here. Left just moves you on, while going up gives you a star... and who wouldn't want a star!? If you want to go up, don't move the blue-marked rock past the star I drew. If you choose to go left, you just have to move the rocks marked blue, yellow, and green.

4th area paths:
Move the rocks in order by color: Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Red, Purple, Grey. (The colors eventually repeat since I ran out of presets lol)
The Vision
Once you and Leyley find a place to rest and you steal her trinket (You monster!), you get stuck in the demon realm. Every step you take the demons will come that much closer. To move on you have to crush all the flowers to open the portal, then move through it - all without the demons reaching you.

Level 1:


Level 2:

Level 3:


The corpse

Once you've gone through those last few puzzles, you'll arrive in a nice cozy little graveyard / resting site area. First, grab the wonderful plank and use it to bridge between the graveyard and the bedroom. Grab the shovel and dig up the grave to get the pink plushie, and dig around for the limbs (Locations shown below)


Grab the key from the padlock right tof the bed, and use it to fetch the green plushie. Head to the right area and move to the scale.

Hints:
1: Bed design
2: Sun, moon, star.
3: Move along the tiles in a pattern.



Put the green plushie on the left and the pink one on the right, then pick up the head that falls. Proceed to be alarmed. Grab all the flowers and bridge back to the center area from the left of the scale and assemble Ashley.
Campsite (Andy or Andrew)
Once you've made it through the vision and all the dialogue after, there comes a major decision. This singular choice will have a major impact on your playthrough. When Ashley demands you choose your name, you can choose:

For the "_____ in a Box" achievment, choose Andy.
Andy: Ashley wins. You are hers. This puts you on the path to an ending (takes quite a bit to get there, though). Note, you will be able to revert to this decision point once you reach that end and continue on the other path.

Andrew: Reaffirm (again) that you are Andrew! This path will lead you to Chapter 4 eventually.

The game content in this section will be the same in all aspects except dialogue, no matter which you choose. However, once you exit the campsite, I'll have a different section for each path, as they differ significantly.

Paths Maze

Once you get out of the car, follow the family by entering the path up top. Note that if you chose Andrew here you can call your (ex) Girlfriend from they pay phone to piss of Ashley.
Go:
Right,
Right,
Up,
Left.

Great job! You should now be in a greener area. This is a checkpoint.
Continue upwards.
Left,
Up,
Up,
Left.

You've reached the family, right? Good. Continue left.
Up,
Left,
Up.

No more mazes!! Hurrah!
Grab the stick in the top left, then the wooden plank (not the broken one, you fool) and prop it against the boulder on the right to grab the leaves & 2nd stick. You now have what you need to start the fire (can't actually start it yet).

Return to the family and speak to them. Choose whichever method of embarrassment you wish (Cousin, Friend), as it has no impact overall.

When back at the empty campsite, gather all the dry grass and start the fire...

Btw, you can loot the bodies for some cash :)

The Child!?

Head back to the family's site again and check the tent. That easy, kid found. Oh... crap.

Head to the right and follow the footprints. Follow him when he runs, and just continue tracking him.

Enter the caves in the order shown below:

Talk to the kid, then go through the caves in reverse order. Once you're in the parking lot, you have 2 choices. You can have mercy and just return to Ashley now - since the harm has already been done... or you could grab the rock on the right, break into the car, and kill the child to get the "No Witnesses" Achievement. (Then return to Ashley).

Note: Read the next bit in full if you're interested in an achievement.

Once you're back at the campfire, talk with Ashley (if you chose Andy, enjoy what I consider to be the best scene in the game). After this dialogue, the Entity will open up a portal, and you'll have 5 seconds to enter. Failing to enter within the time will kill you and grant you the "Happy end!" achievement. (You'll respawn right where you were).

Here, the routes in the guide split.
Realm Between - Andy
This section is only if you choose to give in and let Ashley call you Andy.

Safe?...

Congrats on making it this far! Head through the doorway on the right. And grab the 4 flowers from the island you're on.


Bridge over to the middle island and grab the axe, the some firewood (from the structure, not the ground). Head back to the spawn location and wrap around the door to interact with the black & red flowers above it to grab seeds. Then, interact with the two fire pits to put the firewood in them. Move across the bridge that appears and collect the sun stone.

Step on the rock near the left, marked with a sun. Then grab the bucket, fill it with water, and grow a bunch of flowers. Ashley will say at some point that's it enough, not sure if it actually is or if there's a benefit in getting all of them.

Go back to the other area and bridge across to the rightmost island and exit. After Ashley guides you through the next area and the Demon summons another portal, all that's left is to go through it.

In the Demon's home
First of all, just sleep. Nothing else to do here.

Congrats! Ending reached. Lenley wins, you're her toy. Loved and abused until broken, then discarded.
Realm Between - Andrew
Whether you're here because you chose right, or because you went allll the way through the Andy path, welcome :)

Grab the two flowers at the top of the island, and bridge to the middle.

Hints:
1. Looks at the stars hanging from the sky
2. Each group has a certain number of stars in it...
3. 1st group: 2, 2nd group: 3, 3rd group: 1

Step on the pink spots in order of 2, 3, then 1.

Climb up the stairs on the right, and grab the two bridging flowers. Go back down the stairs, and bridge to the pink flower as shown.



Grab the star, and go back up the stairs (good job getting your steps in!).

Lower the rightmost chain all the way by turning the crank clockwise. Then, climb on the rubble closest to the chain and hang up the star. You're now ready to complete the puzzle.

Hints:
1. Notice the flowers on the wall
2. Their colors match the stars
3. The flowers are at specific heights.



Move the stars to the positions above, and climb the floating stairs on the right that have just helpfully appeared. Inspect the spot where a crank should be (at the base of the gear thing holding the moon), and go grab one of the cranks you used to lower the stars, and put it in its place.

Lower the moon as much as you can, and then grab the 6 bricks from around. marked below

The puzzle with the big family portrait is related to veryone's sprites. It's the faces they have, ashley looks sad, andrew looks unimpressed, the mother is angry, not sure about the dad.

Like the previous comment said Andrew tried merking Ashley, and the path splits again depending on what you choose
Riskydood 25 Jun @ 9:21am 
So when me and my wife got to the realm between as Andrew path, Andrew decides enough is enough and tries to merk Leyley and kill her chasing her through the realm. Where did that path split off compared to yours as we didn't do any of the puzzles which are in here.
