Below is our walkthrough on Chapter 1 of The Gunk! Objects that you can scan for the encyclopedia are in the pinky purple font color! Remember that if you scan all the available items in The Gunk, you’ll earn the Space Archeologists achievement! Please also pick up all the materials that you find as you explore the area. You’ll need these materials to unlock upgrades for Pumpkin (your hand device). If you obtain all the upgrades, you’ll receive the All In achievement!
Once you gain control of your character at the start of Chapter 1 in The Gunk, you’ll be tasked with exploring the area. Follow the path forward a short way and hug the right rock wall. Take the first available right to find your first scannable object, Luminescent Shards.
Continue following the path and jump down to spot some gunk. You’ll automatically scan the Gunk as part of the story.
When prompted, hold down RT to slurp the gunk up! You’ll have to move your character around while holding RT to collect it all. After it’s been collected you’ll spot a glowing pool that was hidden underneath the gunk. Hold RB to scan the Energy Fissure!
Continue following the path to reach some ledges that you’ll be prompted to jump up. On these ledges, scan the purple crystals to enter Luminescent Crystal into your encyclopedia.
Make your way along the linear path following the purple crystals. Eventually you’ll reach a spot where you have to crouch to squeeze yourself through the narrow opening. Do so to reach the next location called Campsite. On the path that veers off to the right, you’ll spot some more gunk. Clean it all up by holding RT to allow Becks to land. You’ll then receive the Land the Ship achievement and Chapter 1 will complete!
