In this Funeral for the Sun walkthrough, I cover all three acts, including every location, point of interest (POI), character identity, family relationship, puzzle solution, and achievement covered in the story. I follow the locations in order and explain which portraits to combine, which relationships to establish, and how to progress through each section.
Funeral for the Sun Complete Walkthrough
This is my step-by-step guide to Funeral for the Sun, with spoilers for the entire story. I have divided Act One into two parts to make the walkthrough easier to follow. Act One focuses on the Solanor family during the 1940s–1960s, Act Two explores earlier events and later time periods, and Act Three takes me back to the 1500s.
Table of Contents:
Act One – Part One
Dock
I begin at the dock, where I speak with the boatman and inspect the two points of interest. I also notice the initials “F.S.” written on the boat, which I keep in mind for later.
Solanor Hacienda (Front)
I select the blue flower and inspect all 4 POIs. This gives me my first four portraits. Based on the conversation, I identify the scarred boy as Oscar Solanor, the teenager as Jose Solanor, and the smiling child as Carmelo for now.
After examining the scene, I use the orange flower to leave and inspect another 4 POIs.
Solanor Hacienda (Side)
I inspect the 5 POIs around this area and record three important clues:
- The purse has the name C. Acosta.
- The tree stump has the initials M + N carved into it.
- The oil field is named Rutherford.
I then select the blue flower and inspect 3 POIs. I identify the scarred man wearing glasses as Oscar Solanor, the woman as Acosta, the blonde man as Nate, and the one-eyed woman from the earlier scene as Amadis.
I also establish Oscar and C. Acosta as a couple.

I inspect 1 POI, enter the blue flower scene, and examine another 2 POIs. Here, I add Rutherford as Nate’s surname and mark the blue-eyed beast as the one responsible for Nate Rutherford’s death.
Next, I return to the side of Solanor Hacienda. A ghostly figure opens a crack in the wall, allowing me to continue into the pantry.
Hacienda Pantry

I identify the stabbed man as Jose Solanor and mark Oscar Solanor as his killer.
