What to know
- Marcel and Pontus are tied to the Kami travel book extra, not a marked NPC waypoint on the mountain.
- The travel book is positioned as their climb chronicle, with tips, sketches, and a recounting of what they saw.
- Access depends on whether the Deluxe Edition or Deluxe Upgrade (platform/store dependent) is owned and installed.
- If a guide claims a “location,” it’s usually pointing to where the travel book is accessed in menus, not to a character encounter.
Confusion around this topic in Cairn is common because the names “Marcel and Pontus” sound like two NPCs to find, while the game mostly presents them through a deluxe extra rather than a world interaction.
Where Marcel and Pontus actually appear in Cairn
Marcel and Pontus appear as the credited climbers/authors of the Kami travel book, a Deluxe Edition extra described as a rugged mini guide that includes tips, sketches, and a recounting of what they saw on Mount Kami.
Reference details for quick checking
| Item | Where it’s typically found | What it confirms |
|---|---|---|
| Kami travel book (Marcel and Pontus) | Deluxe Edition / Deluxe upgrade extras | Marcel and Pontus are referenced through a guide/chronicle, not as an in-world destination |
| Keepsakes (backpack items) | Deluxe Edition extras | Deluxe content is delivered as add-ons/extras, reinforcing that “Marcel and Pontus” is part of bonus content packaging |
| Wallpapers | Deluxe Edition extras | Store-bundled bonus content, unrelated to finding NPCs on the route |
How to access the Kami travel book and verify “location” claims
Step 1
Open the game’s installed content/add-ons list (platform library or in-game content management) and confirm the Deluxe Edition or Deluxe Upgrade content is installed.
Step 2
Launch Cairn and reach the main menu (or the in-game pause menu, if already on a run) to look for an Extras, Deluxe, Bonus content, or similar section where supplemental items are accessed.
Step 3
Open the entry labeled Kami travel book (or a similarly named deluxe “book/chronicle” item) and check the description text and cover/title area where Marcel and Pontus are credited.
Step 4
If the item is missing, re-check platform entitlement (owned edition) and installation status; Deluxe content may require a separate download/install toggle even when the base game is installed.
Step 5
When encountering any “Marcel and Pontus location” claim, verify whether it points to a menu path (Extras → Travel book) versus an in-world coordinate; if there is no quest marker or journal objective naming them, it is not a mountain waypoint.
Step 6
Use the travel book as a practical reference rather than a collectible hunt: skim for route hints, resource notes, or climb context, then return to the climb to apply the guidance where it fits the chosen line.
How this fits Cairn’s exploration-first structure
Cairn centers on choosing routes, reading the rock, and managing gear/resources, so named figures frequently show up as context or guidance rather than as characters placed at fixed points on the map. That design makes a menu-accessed travel book a more natural home for Marcel and Pontus than a traditional NPC “find them here” objective.
