Bramble: The Mountain King is a unique adventure game inspired by Nordic mythology and centered around the perspective of a child in a very dark and gruesome fairytale world. Players control Olle, a boy in search of his missing sister, as they evade all manner of treacherous challenges and enemies.
Although the game is very linear and narrative-focussed, there are several extra achievements players can unlock to achieve 100% completion. One such challenge is the collection of 11 wooden figures, each representing and important character within the game's main storyline.
11 Lillemor
Lillemor is Olle's sister, and one of the key protagonists in the game's story. The daring, curious young girl is fascinated with the surrounding world, and it is precisely this naive curiosity which leads her to being captured by trolls in the first place. From there, Olle's key task throughout the game is to find and save his sister from the Mountain King.
The wooden figure can be found in the tree house at the end of the children's garden. Players will need to pass through this area and obtain a key to unlock the tree house door. The figure is located on the table, next to a matchbox which contains the key.
10 Gnome
Gnomes are certainly among the more friendly creatures inhabiting the Bramble world. Their childlike behavior and miniature communities make players sympathize with them, and throughout the story Gnomes play an important role on several occasions.
The Gnome wooden figure can be found during Chapter 3: Gnome Forest, next to the sleeping gnome on a bench beside the red house.
9 Troll
By contrast, Trolls represent some of the more menacing inhabitants of the mythical kingdom. Often towering over other creatures and feeding on just about anything innocent and pure, large portions of the game revolve around avoiding being crushed and eaten by them.
The Troll figurine is located on top of a box on a platform during Chapter 5: Troll Forest. Having waded through the gory entrail pit and avoided the strange blood-entity that dwells there, players will then enter a small castle tower which they can scale before progressing.
8 Näcken
Nacken is perhaps the most scary and memorable of the game's many mythical enemies. This water spirit was once a man with a great gift for music. Despite this, he was very disliked, and out of vengeance played forbidden melodies to curse and torture his kinsmen. Now he dwells in the waters, looking to capture and eat young children.
Nacken's wooden figure can be found on the small island with the tree trunk at the start of Chapter 6: Nacken's Pond. During the segment in which Olle rides a hedgehog through the pond, he can get to this island and pick up the figure from there.
7 Lemus
Lemus is a friendly giant made of stone who lends a helping hand to Olle on more than one occasion throughout the story. Since he is considerably larger than Olle, he is able to pick him up and place him atop various high terrains that Olle would otherwise not be able to access. He is one of the few real allies the children meet throughout the otherwise dark and hostile world.
Lemus' figure can be located also in Chapter 6: Nacken's Pond. Before ascending across the wooden plank with small creatures on it, players will see a small cliff-edge to the upper-left side of the screen. The figure is standing alone by this patch of grass, and is the only interactive item in the area.
6 Tuva
Tuva is another friendly, semi-divine angelic child of the forest. She uses her magical powers not only to guide Olle throughout his difficult trials, but to revive him on several occasions when it appears as though he is near death.
Tuva's wooden figure can be located during Chapter 9: Tuva Pt. 2. Early in the chapter, players will be exploring through the woods when a fork in the path will offer two options. While one will progress with the game's main objective, investigating the left pathway will take players to Tuva's figure.
5 Kärrhäxan
Kärrhäxan, or the plague witch, is the villainous entity responsible for terrorizing and annihilating the village. She will appear in the swamp and players will need to defeat her, along with her menacing bird-skull, as they travel across the open waters on a raft.
The figure can be located in the fishing village by following the network of planks. One path will take players beneath a large house on stilts. Here, players can fetch the figure from a small pile of debris in the water.
4 Skogsrået
Skogsrået, or simply "Skogsra," is a malevolent female spirit who is said to have lured many men from the village to their deaths deep within the forest. Players will encounter her in the level "Skogskra's Grove," and she is one of the most difficult bosses to defeat in the game.
The figure can be located in the church of the Plague Village. By interacting with the book on the small pedestal behind the dead woman, players can freely look and collect the figure from a small cabinet at the back of the room.
3 Pesta
Pesta, the nightmarish hooded woman with a deadly rake as a weapon, is another challenging enemy players will have to encounter before the story is through. She will also appear in the background of some prior missions such as the Plague Village.
Pesta's figure can be found just before reaching the tower at the very end of Chapter 13: Plague Village. Following the wooden beams around the tower, players will find the figure at the base of a ladder, which must be climbed to fully ascend the tower.
2 Lyktgubben
Lyktgubben, also known as The Lantern Man in Swedish mythology, is another friendly character who briefly assists Olle on a few occasions. He is also the keeper of a large library which holds several of the game's storybooks.
Lyktgubben's figure can be found in Chapter 16: The Halls of the Mountain King, when players will revisit him for a short while. The figure can be acquired from a small desk at the lower side of the room and is placed on top of various scrolls and manuscripts.
