This Reanimal Chapter 3 Walkthrough Guide details how you can complete the third chapter of the game and find all collectibles in it. This chapter takes you back to the beach where everything began, but now the world is underwater. With your boat, harpoon, and teamwork, you will explore flooded buildings, secret islands, and abandoned farms while collecting every hidden item along the way.
Chapter 3 Walkthrough Guide – Reanimal
Chapter 3 starts at the same beach as the beginning of the game. This time, you have a crowbar. Use it to open the fenced gate on the right side. Head upstairs and climb the tall ladder.
Enter the building on the left and check the storage room to find a wheel. Take it outside and attach it to the crank mechanism on the right.
Now comes an important part. Turn the wheel slightly, about 1.5 rotations to the right. You want the sluice gate to open only partway. If done correctly, you can jump over it to reach the other side. Once across, use the control console to open the second sluice gate.
Jump back over to the left side, then rotate the wheel fully to lift the first sluice gate. This allows your boat to pass through.
Return to the beach, get into your boat, and drive through the open gate.
Sailing Through the Flooded Areas
As you move forward, you will enter a dark stretch of sea filled with floating mines. Carefully steer around them. After passing a group of six mines placed close together, you will drive into a flooded building.
Keep moving straight until you pass through a doorway and enter a submerged library. Enemies begin chasing you here, so don’t slow down too much. Turn left, then right, then boost forward using L2 + R2 to smash through a door.
Soon, you will reach a brighter outdoor section. Turn left, then right, and continue through a tunnel on the right side. Park your boat on the broken roadway to the left so you can continue on foot.
Poster 6 (Secret 13)
After stepping out of the boat, look at the wall on your left. The poster is clearly placed there. Pick it up before moving on.
Finding the Harpoons
In the same area, check the front-right side and interact with the wall to assist your partner in climbing up. Once you reach the top, go inside the ruined building and interact with the body sitting in a chair. This gives you harpoons.
Return to your boat, and they will automatically be stored.
Trophy: “Naval Blazing”
From this point onward, destroy every naval mine you see using the harpoon (L1 + Square / LB + X). You need to destroy 20 mines total in one playthrough to unlock the “Naval Blazing” trophy. There are 24 mines across the entire game, so you can miss a few. Chapter 3 doesn’t have enough to finish it yet, but keep destroying them whenever you see them. The trophy will unlock near the end of Chapter 6 if you’ve destroyed enough.
Coffin 2 (Secret 14)
After using the harpoon to destroy your first mine and defeating a swimming enemy, turn right toward a hotel. There are two more swimming enemies nearby.
Before going into the hotel, steer right into a flooded city path. You will spot two mines on the left; destroy both. Drive to the end of this area and enter a building through a hole in the wall. Follow the path downstairs, and you will find the coffin waiting at the bottom.
Return to your boat afterward.
Clearing the Hotel
Drive into the hotel. Take a left turn. In the next hallway, defeat the water enemy using your harpoon. At the end of the corridor, one enemy drops from an elevator; eliminate it quickly. Right after that, another enemy spawns in the left corner of a flooded hallway.
When it appears, reverse immediately (L2 / LT). If you don’t back up, it can reach your boat too quickly and sink you. Keeping distance gives you time to aim and defeat it safely.
Continue forward. You will face another water enemy before entering a flooded restaurant full of enemies, both in the water and sitting on chairs. Clear them out carefully, backing up whenever needed to give yourself space.
At the end of the restaurant, drive through a door and follow the straightforward path. A wall will eventually collapse, leading you back outside to the open sea.
Coffin 3 (Secret 15)
In the middle of this sea area is a large cannon sitting on an island. Drive around the cannon to its right side. Behind it, toward the back-left area of the sea, you will notice mountains and a small passage you can sail through.
Follow that hidden path all the way to the end to find another coffin.
Critter 2 + Mask 6 (Secret 16)
After collecting the coffin, sail to the beach on the far right side of the sea, to the right of the cannon island. Park your boat there.
Chase away the seagulls and climb the long ladder up to a flower field. Stay to the left as you move forward until you see a scarecrow. Hit it, and a Critter will appear. Defeat the Critter, and it will drop a mask you can pick up.
Continue toward a barn. Squeeze through the wooden fence on the left and try opening the barn’s side door. It is locked, and a seagull flies away.
Go back out through the fence. Now the seagulls will be on the ground in front of the barn. Defeat them and pick up the key they drop. Return through the fence and unlock the side door.
Hidden Statue 2 (Secret 17)
Once inside the barn, take the path on the right to find the hidden statue immediately. Grab it before continuing.
Then go left and squeeze past the pigs. You can explore further inside to see a large pig if you want, but it’s optional. Exit through the left door.
Outside, head left and deal with any attacking seagulls.
Poster 7 (Secret 18)
You will enter a small shed or cabin with a tractor inside. You will find the poster behind the tractor, hanging on the wall.
Lighthouse & Bird Chase
Cross the bridge on the left to reach the lighthouse. Climb to the top floor, where you will see an NPC trapped inside a hanging cage. Stand underneath until the interaction prompt appears and lift your partner to free them.
Once freed, a giant bird begins chasing you. Immediately run all the way back toward the barn. If the bird catches you, you will die, so don’t stop.
Inside the barn, pigs will run through a gate on the right. Follow them into a field.
Poster 8 (Secret 19)
In the field, move ahead until you reach a small bus stop. Before sitting down, check to the right of the station. The poster is attached to the second pole. Pick it up before progressing.
Rest Your Legs 7
Now sit on the bench at the bus stop to trigger a short scene. This counts toward the “Rest Your Legs” trophy.
After the scene, get into the yellow bus and interact with any seat. Doing this ends Chapter 3.
