Act One – Part One
Dock
I begin at the dock, where I speak with the boatman and inspect the 2 Points of Interest (POI) available in the area. During my examination, I notice the initials F.S. written on the boat. I keep these initials in mind because they may help identify someone later.

I inspect the 2 POIs in the north hall. Next, I select the blue flower and examine another 3 POIs.
During this investigation, I mark the boy as responsible for killing the cat. I keep this relationship in mind because I will need to identify the boy and connect him to the other characters later.

I then combine the cat with Aural. This unlocks the achievement 9th Life.
The new woman can now be identified as Oscar’s mother. I mark her as the mother of Oscar Solanor and partner of Franco Solanor.
Another important discovery concerns Franco’s daughter. I recall that Franco’s young daughter and Jose appeared together at the funeral of Franco’s wife. Using this earlier scene, I combine Franco’s daughter with Franco’s wife’s daughter.
The calendar and the previously discovered ages help me identify her as Marta, age 30.

I enter the church and inspect all 3 POIs.
Here, I use two clues discovered earlier to identify Franco’s second wife. The first clue is the name Serena, which appeared on the child’s drawing. The second is the letter addressed to Sra. Arango in Jose’s room.

Using the readable letters and the names already discovered, I can reconstruct the inscription as:

Several important identities and family connections become available.
First, I give Hernando and Isabela the surname Zuniga, establishing their family name.
I then identify the sun king woman as Tarsicui.
The man wearing red-orange paint, who was previously marked as having been killed by the priest, is identified as Racuixe.
The butterfly-masked woman is identified as Niktue.
I combine Niktue with the partner of Tockaiye Red Singer, establishing the connection between the two portraits and identifying her as Nitkue Red Witness.
I also identify the priest as Efain Vallejo.
Finally, I mark Racuixe and Xenacui as partners.
Next, I select the black flower and inspect another 4 POIs.
I combine the helmeted indigenous man with Tockaiye Red Singer, since both characters are translators.
The evidence also allows me to establish two important death relationships. I mark the man carrying the obsidian knife as responsible for killing Esteban Vasconcelos and the priest.
Sacred Grounds
I enter the sacred grounds and inspect the 2 POIs available there.
The investigation provides two additional death relationships:

- I mark Jose Arango as responsible for killing Xenacui.
I also identify the man carrying the obsidian knife, who killed Esteban Vasconcelos, as the parent of Xenacui.
Next, I select the black flower on the left and inspect another 2 POIs.
I mark Tarsicui as the parent of Franco, Aurelio, and the kite girl.

After completing these connections, I select the black flower on the right and inspect the additional 1 POI.
I give Tarsicui the surname Red Actor, establishing her full name as Tarsicui Red Actor.
I also combine the painted Spaniard with Esteban Vasconcelos.
The older indigenous man with the blue shoulder can now be identified as Taracko Lilac Singer.
I mark Taracko Lilac Singer as the parent of Tarsicui and establish that Velasco Arango is responsible for killing him.
I also mark Xenacui as the daughter of Tarsicui.
Next, I combine Esteban’s daughter with Aural Vasconcelos.
Finally, I combine Xenacko with the man carrying the obsidian knife, connecting the two portraits.

I enter the temple and inspect the 2 POIs available there.
The new information allows me to combine the young man with Franco Solanor, the son of Esteban Vasconcelos.
I also identify the baby as Franco Solanor and mark him as the son of the young man and Isabela.
Next, I select the black flower and inspect another 2 POIs.
The evidence allows me to mark Franco Solanor, the son of Esteban Vasconcelos, as responsible for killing Tarsicui.
I then combine Tarsicui with the beast, establishing their portrait connection.

Final Character Names and Achievement
Before finishing the game, I return to the remaining character names and complete the final surname assignments:
- Racuixe: White Singer
- Aurelio: White Witness
- Xenacko: Red Actor
I then establish the final death relationships involving Jose Arango from the 1500s.
I mark him as responsible for killing Xenacui and Isabela.
Completing these final relationships unlocks the achievement Fool Me Thrice.
Final Return to Aurelio
I return to Aurelio and complete the final portrait combination by combining Madeleine Rutherford with the butterfly lady.
With this last combination established, the remaining investigation is complete.
I speak to the boatman to finish the game. I can now enjoy the credits and the final end scene featuring Nayla’s father.
That completes the full walkthrough of Funeral for the Sun, including all three acts and the achievements covered in this guide.
