IMPORTANT INFO
LAYOUT
The guide has been re-ordered and separated into categories, to make it easier to find what you need.

PLAYING THE GAME
Thankfully there are no missable achievements, so you can do these in whatever order you want, but I do recommend you beat the game and then get the collectables afterwards so you have a feel for the game

GENERAL TIPS
  • Be fast. A good majority of these levels are dependent on your speed and how fast you move
  • Due to the physics, Emma can sometimes remain on what is invisible air for a brief second. That is because the animation of the disappearing area hasn't gone yet, which allows you to make very last minute jumps, climbs, slides and finishes
  • Due to the physics, Emma may sometimes lose momentum, hit a wall and stop dead or slide off the edge of a platform. Make sure to land dead center

E:LiM is a relatively short game if you play through it without collecting feathers. Simply beat the tutorial level and all 55 levels (50 levels and 5 intermissions) and you'll unlock the respective achievements for each world. Refer to the Feather's section for a guide on how to get past each level.

TIPS
  • Depending on your set-up, there might be a slight delay in when Emma jumps, slides and climbs. Learn this fast and adapt to it
  • You have a lot more time than you think. Due to the physics, Emma can remain in the air for a split second after the platform has disappeared. Keep this in mind
'X Death'
Hiding from Death
Complete the last level from the Forest without dying

Dodging Death
Complete the last level from the Hills without dying dying

Fleeing Death
Complete the last level from the Mountains without dying

  • 3 - 10
  • 4 - 10
  • 5 - 10

without dying. Thankfully the game isn't insanely hard and you'll most likely get this on your first attempt. If you do die, simply exit the level and start it again.

NOTES
  • Restarting doesn't work, you need to exit and reload
FEATHERS ACHIEVEMENTS
All 50 main levels (Not the Tutorial or Intermissions) have 1 Feather each. To get a feather, you must touch it and complete the level without dying.

GENERAL TIPS
Some important things to keep in mind
  • You need fast reflexes
  • Sliding and then jumping right before it ends gives you a boost in both distance and height
'The first of many'

ALL FEATHERS: Hills
Remember far from home
Get all the feathers from the Hills


Below are timestamps and written descriptions

00:00 Hills 01
No advice here. Just double jump and go.

00:12 Hills 02
Double jump to the first platform and then climb up until the bottom one completely disappears. Then jump down and go.

00:28 Hills 03
This will take a few tries to get right. Once you reach the second platform, DON'T DOUBLE JUMP, instead do a single jump and then time your second jump right before you get the feather.

00:48 Hills 04
Slide-Jump into the right wall and then quickly scurry to the top. Once you get the feather, slide down a bit and jump, or else you might hit the ceiling and destroy the platform.

01:12 Hills 05
Much like 03, all about timing and getting it right.

01:31 Hills 06
Once you get to the bottom pillar, you'll need to be fast enough to reach the top of the 4th pillar and hop on top.

01:55 Hills 07
This one requires you to have precision. Hop entirely over the first platform and once you hit the ground, run to the wall and jump without touching the ceiling.

02:14 Hills 08
Once you reach the second platform, power-slide jump underneath the pillar, hit the wall and jump on top of it.

02:32 Hills 09
Nothing much to say, just be fast and don't idle.

02:54 Hills 10
Play through the level as normal, but when doing the final slide do a single jump through the gap. Touching the top of the spikes will kill you.
ALL FEATHERS: Forest
Deep memories
Get all the feathers from the Forest


00:00 Forest 01
Nothing to say here, just move fast and jump when needed.

00:20 Forest 02
For this one, you need to master a technique called "Slide-Jumping" it's when you jump right before a slide ends. Do it before you hit the spikes on the second platform and the rest is easy.

00:40 Forest 03
When you get to the second platform, slide underneath the spikes.

00:56 Forest 04
Play the level as normal, but when you get to the second platform, make sure to touch the pillar sticking out or else you'll fall to your death

01:20 Forest 05
This requires insane timing. Play the level as normal, but when you have to double back jump and land on the pillar, jump and slide down the 2 pillars.

01:45 Forest 06
Play the level as normal but make sure to power-slide when needed to get those extra seconds of platform

02:07 Forest 07
When you get to the last 2 pillars at the end, slide down the right side until the floor disappears, then wall jump to the feather and wall jump to the end

02:35 Forest 08
Nothing much to say, just be fast and don't accidentally clip any walls

03:05 Forest 09
Climb the 2 pillars, but when you get to the top, jump so you hit both the top and bottom platforms. Continue running and then jump to the feather. You should have JUST enough space to stand on the platform.

03:30 Forest 10
Same as before, except when you get to the tight area, Slide-Jump after you get the feather
ALL FEATHERS: Mountains
Remember at the peak
Get all feathers from the Mountains


00:00 Mountains 01
Very easy. Complete the level as normal but when you reach the ice pillar right before the final platform, keep climbing until the bottom platform disappears entirely. Then drop and climb back up.

00:28 Mountains 02
This one requires precise timing. Making sure to jump to land on the edge of the right pillar so you don’t touch any of the above platforms but accident.

00:55 Mountains 03
When you reach the two close platforms, power-slide underneath to avoid touching either one.

01:24 Mountains 04
This one is the hardest to do. Before you begin running, power-slide to touch the second pillar and as soon as you make contact, wall-jump off to get the second feather and when you slide down, right before it evaporates hop off. You want to make sure you DON’T touch the ceiling or else you will have to restart.

02:00 Mountains 05
Make sure your timing is on point. This one does require a bit of waiting and precise jumps. Anytime you begin sliding or climbing, always wait till the last possible second before jumping.

02:40 Mountains 06
Thankfully this one isn’t nearly as hard as the others. Very basic and simple timing and jumps and you should be good.

03:17 Mountains 07
Another relatively easy one. For this one, keep running and drop off to the bottom platform normally. Then climb and jump to the end.

03:35 Mountains 08
When you reach the isolated pillar above the second platform, climb and continue climbing to the top until the platform bellow disappears. Drop down, pick up the feather and continue.

04:10 Mountains 09
This one requires quick movement. Play as normal but when you go down to the second pillar, jump off and climb immediately. You should pick up the feather before you drop.

05:23 Mountains 10
Play the level as normal, but right before you reach the end power-slide under both pillars, get the feather and climb. Then jump on top of the third pillar and finish the level.
ALL FEATHERS: Caves
Buried memories
Get all the feathers from the Cave


00:00 Caves 01
Nothing much to really say here. Play the level as normal, make sure to jump onto the platform and you're good to go.

00:31 Caves 02
Very straight forward. Play the level as normal, but when you get to the feather, you're going to have to jump right before it disappears, then bounce back really fast to climb back in time.

00:57 Caves 03
Pretty straight forward, just play the level as normal.

0139 Caves 04
Again, very simple. Play the level as normal but when you get to that section be very quick.

02:06 Caves 05
Play the level as normal, but make sure not to hit the pillar with the feather on it. Then when you get to the top, drop down, pick it up and continue.

02:29 Caves 06
Play the level as normal and make sure to touch the first, second, third and fourth pillar, but leave the fifth one. By the time you circle back, you need to jump and hit it, so you slide down and get the feather.

02:58 Caves 07
This one is a close call. Play the level as normal, but when you get to the top. just keep going right. Once you past the first gate, touch the ceiling to get ride of the above platform, then jump up and away.

03:22 Caves 08
This requires some precision jumping. Play the level as normal, but when you get to the roundabout, hit the wall, jump onto the platform wedged into the spikes, then to the ceilings, bounce off to the other wall and jump off to the feather.

03:50 Caves 09
Play the level as normal, but as soon as you get to the last top platform, immediately jump to reach the feather.

04:33 Caves 10
Play the level as normal, but right before you reach the feather, slide all the way down and at the very last second, jump back to the other side and continue.
ALL FEATHERS: Return
Scattered memories
Get all feathers from the Return without dying

+

Buried memories
Get all the feathers from the Cave


00:00 Return 01
Power-slide underneath the first set of spikes, then bounce back from the wall and double-jump through the gap in the wall.

00:24 Return 02
As soon as you get to the end walls, slide down and once you hit the bottom wall, bounce off, grab the feather and then climb back up

01:09 Return 03
Once you reach the top, power-slide to keep ahead of the disappearing floor, but slow down near the end so when it disappears, you'll fall right into the feather

01:45 Return 04
After getting to the top, just drop down from the wall, pick up the feather and double jump

02:05 Return 05
Right before you reach the feather, make sure to power-slide jump into the feather

02:36 Return 06
Play the level as normal, but when you get the middle platform, double-jump up and continue

03:04 Return 07
Play the level as normal, but when you reach the wall, jump off, slide down and continue normally

03:36 Return 08
Play the level as normally, but when you wall jump, slide down to get the feather

04:00 Return 09
Play the level as normal, but right when you get to the 2 platforms, make sure to jump so that when Emma lands, she slides down a bit, just barely catching the feather

04:23 Return 10
As soon as you start, just run left and drop till you reach the first back-to-back pillars. Jump all the way up, the jump up, get the feather and run back to the second back-to-back pillars, climb up then head towards the exit
IMPORTANT NOTES: The Memory Chest
The feathers in the Memory Chest DO NOT contribute to the Photo Album or Story Mode feathers. There are there own seperate category and aside from added challenge, do not have any unlockables tied to them

For the Easy, Medium and Hard Chests, I grouped both the 'Beat X' and 'Collect X Feathers' together because I collect all feathers in each one. These levels operate the exact same as Story Mode. Collect the Feather without dying and beat the level to keep it. Below each video is a timestamp.
'Dusting the past' + 'My memories'
Dusting the past
Visit the Memory Chest

Once you've completed the main campaign, The Memory Chest is unlocked. Simply visit it to get your achievement.

My memories
Complete all levels from the Memory chest

There are 3 different sections: Easy, Medium and Hard. Levels are grouped in fives and to unlock the next set of levels, you'll need to collect a certain amount of feathers. The amount scales up as you progress. Ideally you should collect all feathers and beat the level, instead of beating all the levels and backtracking. Here are some more tips

  • MOVE FAST: Medium and Hard mode lose the puzzle aspect and instead are much more difficult and brutal in their platforming. A lot of it is dependent on speed, so you will need to move fast.
  • QUICK REFLEXES: A good majority of levels involve you having to wall-jump, slide-jump and circle round a lot of times. Make sure to be vigilant and aware
  • MOMENTUM: Emma has momentum, which can change. When wall-jumping, the higher you are the further you go. When Double-Jumping, making sure to double-jump lower to the ground to push further or you may end up falling just short of the mark

FINAL NOTES
This is a really wholesome, fun and engaging game. The puzzles are very chin-stroking, the art style is gorgeous and the music is soothing. I do hope to see maybe a sequel or perhaps some additional content, like extra levels added soon. I am not ready to leave this game yet.
