Hidden Dolls

Hidden Dolls

Each world hides one doll in its secret structure, in the vault chest, next to a Carver's Note. Gathering the ten grants the hidden achievement Every Doll. Nested together in the right order, they become the key to World 0.

Nesting

1. Hold the smallest doll in your main hand.
2. Hold the next doll in your other hand.
3. Use the doll in your main hand (right click).

If the doll in your other hand belongs right around the one you hold, it closes with a click and you now hold Nested Dolls (2 / 10). Keep the Nested Dolls in your main hand and bring the next doll to them, until the tenth closes: you then hold the Whole Matryoshka.

A doll that does not belong rattles and is refused; nothing is lost. The nest can only be built from the inside out, starting from the smallest doll.

Hints

The order is not the order in which the worlds open. Every secret has at least three hints:

• The notches. The tooltip of every hidden doll tells how many notches are carved under its base. The fewer the notches, the deeper the doll sleeps: one notch is the smallest.
• The coded pages. Page 4 of every world's Journal says which doll holds that world's doll.
• The Carver's Note. Left beside every hidden doll: "Count the notches. The fewest sleeps deepest."
• The peoples. Show a world's people their own hidden doll (hold it and talk to them): they tell which doll sleeps inside it.
• The Doll Peddler on the Surface explains how to nest them when you show him a doll; the Old Apprentices of World 10 know what the Whole Matryoshka opens.

Spoiler: the order

From the smallest to the largest: World 6, 3, 9, 1, 5, 8, 2, 10, 4, 7.

The Whole Matryoshka

Use it once your group has beaten the Unfinished to open World 0. Before that, it stays shut. See World 0.
