How to Pass Through the Grate in Of Ash and Steel

The plot of Of Ash and Steel unfolds on a distant island where everyone fights for their place in the sun. The capital youth Tristan will have to learn to survive to withstand wild animals and gangs of marauders. In this guide, we will explain how to pass through the enchanted grate in the starting location.

On the way from Neryest’s Hut to Greyshaft, after the abandoned village, you can meet the trader Radim. If you go forward from him, at the first torch by the trail, you will see a statue in the rock on the left holding a mug in its hand behind an iron grate. To ensure no one disturbs you, we advise you to eliminate all the bugs.

Approach the grate and take the wet note smelling of alcohol, which reads:

Also, note that the statue holds an iron beer mug in its hand. Accordingly, this grate has magical properties. To pass through it, you need to be drunk — in a state where Tristan is unsteady and the screen is blurry. Drinking three alcoholic beverages, such as Rzhonka, is enough. If you don’t have alcohol with you, you can go to Radim and buy some drinks. Once you pass through the grate while drunk, it will remain open for the hero until he takes something.

Inside, you will find many useful items, such as:

If the hero is stuck in a sober state and the grate does not let him pass, try again when he is drunk. In rare cases, the trick to resetting intoxication may not work — then change the time of day, cook and eat any dish, and wait a bit.
