InCrow Country, players take on the role of Mara Forest, a Police Investigator searching for “Mr Crow.” This Mysterious and Wealthy Man created the Amusement Park “Crow Country”, but has been missing for two years now, so Mara arrives at his abandoned park to track him down and solve the mystery of his disappearance.
Crow Countryis a Survival Horror game that shares a lot of its DNA with the likes of Silent Hill and Resident Evil, with an art style and control scheme that both harken back to the PS1 Era. Players will need to solve puzzles and uncover essential clues as they explore the Park while avoiding the monsters that roam its long-abandoned grounds. Early into the game, players will uncover clues suggesting that the Bronze Key was dropped into the Fairy Pond, which a Fairy Statue blocks. This guide will explain how to open the path to the Pond and uncover the key, unlocking several new paths through the Park.
How to Find the Fairy Statue Code
Next to the Fairy Statue, players will notice a keypad. The code will need to be entered before the statue can be interacted with in any meaningful way. Luckily, this step is pretty simple, since the wounded man a little further along the path has the code. To get the code from him, you’ll need to give him a healing item to treat his wounds. After you’ve healed him, you’ll need to speak with him again and help him move to a safe place, before returning to where you originally found him. Under his body is a note with the code for the Fairy Statue on it.
With this code, we can activate the statue and speak to it,but it won’t respond or allow Mara to pass unless she knows what phrase it is waiting to hear.
How to Find the Pass Phrase for the Fairy Statue
To learn the words that cause the Fairy Statue to move, you’ll need to head to the end of the path, past where Adam was, and take a left turn. This leads to a long hallway where you’ll have your first encounter with the monsters that roam the park. At the end of this hallway you’ll find a safe room containing a fireplace, offering you a chance to save the game, along with a note containing the phrase that makes the statue move.
Head back to the statue and input the phrase “Hear Me, oh Great Fairy of Fairest Forest!” This will cause the Statue to clear the way to the Fairy Pond, where another tricky puzzle awaits.
How to Get the Bronze Key
To get the Bronze Key,you’ll need to uncover the secret of the Fairy Pond.First things first, pull back the curtain nearby to reveal the filter pump. Don’t do anything else with the pump yet, instead head for the red valve at the back of the room. You need to turn this while looking at the gauge on the pump, so you can run over there once the needle is in the sweet spot. Activating the pump while the pressure is too low or too high will activate the ventilator, which is highly dangerous according to a note you can find elsewhere in the park, though you can use the emergency button near the red valve to disable the ventilator again if necessary. Additionally, try not to run through the steam near the valve, since it will cause damage.
After activating the pump, the water in the Fairy Pond will become crystal clear. You’ll notice there’s a target on the tree in the reflection. Shoot the spot where the target would be on the actual tree to activate a hidden mechanism, causing the Fairy Statue to rise from the Pond, Bronze Key in hand.
Interestingly, if you shoot where the target is before revealing it, it will still work, so you can skip the majority of this puzzle if you already know where to aim. This might be useful if trying to move through the game quickly, such as if you forget to save and end up having to repeat the puzzle after dying.
Also, after leaving and re-entering the Fairy Pond area, once the puzzle is solved, a monster will start spawning in this room. Like many of the monsters in this section of the game, it is quite easy to dodge around it and escape.
