'''Farewell''' is both the final chapter of ''[[Celeste]]'', as well as the longest and hardest. Released on September 9, 2019, as free DLC<ref
Farewell introduces [[Wavedashes]] to the player, but also uses other tech such as [[Wallbounces]]. Unlike all other main chapters in ''Celeste'', only one side

The second Badeline orb launches Madeline into space. Badeline becomes confrontational during their ascent; Madeline explains that she's chasing the bird because it's a part of Granny. Badeline explains that Madeline is in denial and that it's just an ordinary bird. ''Fear of the Unknown'' starts playing after this cutscene.

After making it through many more rooms, Madeline makes it to a gray Crystal Heart, named "Empty Space". The heart collection sound resembles the C-Side (golden) heart collection sound.

Badeline attempts to convince her that she is dreaming and that none of the events of Chapter 9 are real. Madeline, however, continues to deny this, claiming that Granny will "disappear forever" if she wakes up. She then lashes out at her other self, claiming that she wants her to disappear, and calls her selfish. Badeline attempts to reason with her, stating that she needs to "take a step back", but Madeline continues to turn against her; this ends up with Badeline merely wishing her "good luck" prior to

Madeline finally manages to trap and catch the [[Bird]] in the first room of Reconciliation. A tune, {{soundtrack|num=09|track=Futility}}, plays as both Madeline and the Bird end up collapsing into some moon rock. Madeline then interrogates the bird, trying to know where Granny is, but it ends up solely making a cry of pain. She then freaks out, but the bird manages to get back up; Maddy

Madeline lands on some clouds, presumably in heaven. She gets excited when she sees Granny, but she does end up commenting about how she is in a dream. Granny refutes her point.

{{Q|So what? That didn't stop you from coming all this way. You finally found me, and now you care that it's just a dream?|[[Granny]]}}
Madeline then apologizes for not attending her funeral, to which Granny starts laughing, stating that funerals are for "all you suckers stuck living without me". The mountain climber then continues to confess her feelings, saying that she misses her, but as she attempts to approach Granny, the latter fades into dust. Madeline then wonders how she's going to make it through. As the screen fades to white: "Like you aren't... gone forever?" This is the first time Madeline demonstrates fear since she was first propelled into space.

Several [[easter eggs]] in this cutscene are present, but most notably, Madeline is revealed to be [[CW:TR|trans]] during this cutscene. A small trans flag can be seen at the right of Madeline's mechanical keyboard, alongside a pride (rainbow) flag.

The [[Golden Strawberry]] can be found at the start of this checkpoint. The first room introduces the [[Dash Refill|Double-Dash Crystal]], an object that gives the player two dashes, albeit only once (Madeline only gets 1 dash back when touching the ground). The first three rooms of the checkpoint are fairly straightforward, but the next three

The skip can be done without collecting 15 typically required Crystal Hearts. However, the gate's there to warn casual players that the chapter will get a significant difficulty increase, and they might not be ready for it yet.

▲The Oil Skip allows to have 2 dashes through the most of the chapter (up until Stubbornness), making it much easier and faster. Typically the ability to regain two dashes upon touching the ground is removed after the dialogue with Badeline in space. The Oil Skip circumvents this trigger.
== Golden Strawberry strategies ==
{{Main|Farewell Golden Strawberry strategy guide}}
Farewell's golden strawberry, often abbreviated to '''FWG''' (for "Farewell Golden"), is for most the hardest to collect: as such, it is often considered the 202nd and final strawberry in the game. The number of people who have Farewell's golden strawberry is so limited that there is a [[List_of_Celeste_players_with_the_Farewell_Golden_Berry|list of people having obtained the Farewell Golden Berry]] in existence.
Line 205 ⟶ 204:
=== Debug Mode Room ===
In the first room, it's possible to teleport to the very right side through Debug Mode, which will show a giant box with the text "DEBUG MODE :)", an [[intro car]], and a bunch of other decals at the top, as well as a snake made out of red and green bubbles. If the player goes back to the left, they can activate a secret dialog in which Granny says: "I see you have discovered Debug Mode". This is because the player doesn't activate a trigger that's right before reaching Granny, which changes the room's appearance
=== Hidden Intro Car ===
In the falling pillar room of Remembered, there's a small hidden area in the top-right that can be reached if the player takes a jellyfish from the previous room. It will reveal a little
=== Kevin Room ===
{{Main|Kevin Room ARG}}
The final room of Event Horizon features a small hidden area that can be accessed by going left when the player starts going up with the feathers towards the end. The small house is an ARG (alternate reality game) puzzle managed by [[Kevin Regamey]] himself.
The ARG reveals various images and hints that had to be opened through a spectrogram in a specific way. If the glitch files are put together in the proper order, it would reveal a big list of
=== Demodash Room ===
In Determination, the vertical star room has a hidden entrance in the right path that takes the player to a small, seemingly impossible room with walls of crystal spinners that can only be passed through with demodashes. This room was meant to be a homage to the [[demodash]], a major speedrunning trick discovered
=== Moon Berry ===
After breaking the final power box, the player can go to the left, which allows them to jump off the floating blocks scattered around the massive room. They will reveal an alternate path

== Trivia ==
* Despite Farewell being possible to play before {{ch|7C|lf=1}}, the chapter starts at the very end of 7C. This might have been a leftover or a reference to the chapter, as formerly Farewell was meant to be a post-game chapter available only after finishing every C-Side

* If the player manages to reach the Moon Berry room while also holding a golden berry, it will temporarily detach from them and move to the next spawnpoint, as the player has to perform a death exploit to reach the next part of the challenge.

* The final cutscene reveals a tiny pride flag and a trans flag hanging next to Madeline's computer, hinting that [[Madeline|the protagonist]] might be transgender, which caught a lot of interest within the community. On November 6, 2020, Maddy Thorson [[CW:TR|confirmed]] that it
