01 – THE DE RUNE LEGACY
In this first chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough, we will take control of the young Amicia De Rune on the worst day of her life. But for the moment, we meet the girl with her father and her dog during a hunting trip in the forest.
Progress through the Forest
Start by following your father into the forest (picture1). As you approach Lion, Amicia’s dog, you realize that yes, you can pet the dog in A Plague Tale: Innocence (picture2). Pass under the tree trunk that your father lifts to reach an apple tree (picture3). This passage will teach you the basics of sling shooting, one of the central mechanics of A Plague Tale: Innocence’s gameplay.

picture3
Gather Rocks for the Sling and Shoot at the Apples
First, go retrieve the stones that are near a dead tree on your right (picture4). The stone bags contain six stones. Your father’s challenge is to shoot the six apples in 10 seconds. It goes without saying that you can’t miss any shot to achieve this feat. When you prepare to shoot, focus to the maximum (picture5) to reduce the aiming reticle, and then shoot (picture6). In reality, the test is not really important and there is no Achievement/Trophy to reward you if you succeed. Your father mentions the noise of the sling, which will be a very important element later in the chapter.

Follow Lion
Lion then starts to hunt something and goes deep into the woods. Follow them, and learn to crouch down (picture7) as well as to jump over obstacles (picture8). Finally, you arrive near a clearing where there is a young boar. Pick up the stone bag (picture9), and crouch down while waiting for your father. The latter suggests a discreet approach by the tall grass.
picture7
picture8
picture9
Sneak Up on the Young Wild Boar
Crouch down in the tall grass to stay perfectly silent and invisible (picture10). Unfortunately, the boar faces you, and detects you immediately when you arm your sling (picture11).
picture10
picture11
Shoot at the Wild Boar’s Head
Your father suggests that you shoot the boar in the head from a more discreet angle. Follow the small boar into the clearing, and use the tall grass to find an angle from where you can shoot it in the head (picture12). When you succeed, a cutscene is triggered. The boar is not dead and runs away, with Lion after him.
picture12
Find Lion
Follow the two animals on the left track when the path widens in the forest (picture13). After wading through the mud, you come across the largely devoured carcass of the wild boar (picture14). Lion’s barking having stopped, hurry to find it a little further away (picture15). A new cutscene is triggered and the game title screen appears.
picture13
picture14
picture15
Find Beatrice in Hugo’s Quarters
You take back control of Amicia once back in the De Rune castle. Your objective is to join your mother Beatrice in Hugo’s quarters but we will take some time in the castle courtyard first. Start by turning right directly from the stable to talk with Theo. The latter tells you that he has installed targets in the back of the barn so you can train with your sling (picture16). Before reaching the shooting range, enter the last box in the stable to find a ladder (picture17). Go up the latter to find the first collectible of the adventure, the “Duck Whistle” Gift (picture18).
picture16
picture17
picture18
Then go behind the stable and collect stones for your sling (picture19). Then destroy the six jars that are aligned on the crates (picture20) to obtain the “More Practice” Achievement/Trophy (picture21).
picture19
picture20
picture21
Then cross the courtyard to the chapel where you can say a short prayer for Lion at the altar. Continue in the direction of the De Rune residence to meet Gabrielle (picture22), a servant who confirms that Beatrice is upstairs with your brother Hugo. Enter the castle so that Amicia closes the door behind her (picture23). Make sure you have collected the Duck Whistle and destroyed the jars at the shooting range before entering.
picture22
picture23
Now that you are in the entrance of the castle, take the door on the right first to reach the dining room (picture24). Then pass the door on the left towards the pantry and kitchen. Climb up the ladder in the pantry (picture25) to find a second collectible, the “Spices” Curiosity (picture26).
picture24
picture25
picture26
Now return to the entrance of the castle and turn left to reach the upper floor (picture27). Louise, another servant, leaves Hugo’s quarters and invites you to pick up an object in your room (picture28). Do not pass through the door of Hugo’s quarters, in which case a cutscene will be activated, preventing you from visiting your room.
picture27
picture28
Instead, take the corridor and enter the first room on the left (picture29). On the bed is the last collectible of the chapter, the “Tablecloth” curiosity (picture30). Now that you have visited all the rooms of the castle, pass through the door of Hugo’s quarters to trigger a cutscene (picture31).
picture29
picture30
picture31
Find Hugo
Enter your mother’s study (picture32), and go back from room to room to Hugo’s room. Go interact with the sheet at the end of the room to find your brother Hugo and trigger a cutscene (picture33).
picture32
picture33
Escape from the House
The Inquisition is looking for Hugo and your escort mission begins. Use the button that appears on the screen to call Hugo (picture34). The latter then takes Amicia’s hand, which allows you to lead both characters at the same time. Go into the room on the left and wait for a guard to break down the door and enter your mother’s study to reach the corridor (picture35).
picture34
picture35
Wait until the guard eliminates Louise (picture36) and goes deep into the corridor of the rooms to quickly reach the ground floor by the stairs (picture37). Walk through the entrance hall of the castle while another guard attacks a servant (picture38).
picture36
picture37
picture38
Once in the dining room, go around the tables and reach the kitchen (picture39). Interact with the door (picture40) to trigger a cutscene during which you meet your mother.
picture39
picture40
Follow Beatrice
This sequence is extremely scripted and will teach you most of the mechanics you will need to use later in the game to progress with Hugo. Follow Beatrice and go into the tall grass (pictures41-42) to discreetly cross the area, and then pass behind the back of the next guard (picture43).
picture41
picture42
picture43
A little further on, you have to slip into a building by helping Hugo cross the wall (picture44). On the other side, you will have to use your first diversion to make a guard move. Collect the stones on the bench and throw one at the chest full of armor parts on the left. Remember your father’s comment about the noise of your sling, throwing a stone by hand allows for greater discretion by sacrificing power (picture45). Once the guard leaves to inspect the chest, follow your mother.
picture44
picture45
Repeat the same thing a little further on by throwing a stone at the scarecrow stoves (picture46). The next obstacle is more difficult since there is no metal object in sight to throw a stone at. Instead, pick up one of the jars from the bench (picture47), and throw it away as a diversion. A white halo appears on the enemies who will hear the sound of the impact (picture48).
picture46
picture47
picture48
Continue your progression in the gardens until you reach a locked door (picture49). Amicia notices a small hole in the wall that would allow Hugo to slip on the other side. Use the button appearing on the screen to send Hugo to the hole (picture50) in order for him to unlock the door from the other side. Wait for the guard to cross the field and follow your mother to a small building. Go through the window and wait for Hugo to climb it by himself (picture51). The sequence is scripted and allows youto see that Hugo is able to overcome certain obstacles on his own, but that it will take him much longer than you.
picture49
picture50
picture51
A little further on, help him to cross the gate (picture52), and go to Beatrice in the tall grass (picture53). A guard patrols and you won’t have time to cross without a little diversion. Ask Hugo to wait for you and cross the wall to pick up a pot on the opposite bench (picture54).
picture52
picture53
picture54
Hide in the tall grass on the left and throw the pot to distract the enemy and make sure that a white halo is on top of him to confirm that he heard the noise (picture55). Then ask Hugo to join you when the guard is distracted (picture56).
picture55
picture56
You only have one more obstacle left to complete this section of the chapter. Pick up the stone bag and hide in the tall grass. Throw a stone at the scarecrow to lure the guard (picture57). When he finishes his inspection (picture58), go to the back door to trigger a cutscene (picture59).
picture57
picture58
picture59
Escape the Inquisition
You are now alone with Hugo and must flee before the Inquisition can get its hands on your brother (picture60). Run in a straight line without worrying about the torches in the forest (picture61). Quickly you will find that what killed Lion is now attacking your pursuers. Don’t hang around and head for the river (picture62) to finish this first chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide.

02 – THE STRANGERS
Just out of the water after escaping the Inquisition, we meet again with Amicia and Hugo as they search for Hugo’s doctor, Laurentius, in this new part of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide.
Find Help
Walk along the dirt path until you reach what looks like a market place (picture1). Directly on your right is a pontoon on which there is the “Amulets and Talismans” Gift (picture2). Once you have recovered it, walk into the market to see Hugo running to a stand looking for an apple (picture3). After Amicia’s warnings, Hugo comes back to her but still wants to find something to eat, a secondary objective that we will complete a little further on.
picture1
picture2
picture3
Enter the city and take a look at the black smoke rising in the sky (picture4). The city is strangely empty and you can try knocking at the doors to try to find help, but without success. The villagers seem to flee from you and close their doors on your way. When the track is divided into two branches (picture5), take the right track towards a small stone bridge (picture6).
picture4
picture5
picture6
Cross the latter and turn directly to the right between the houses (picture7). In this small courtyard, you will find the “Soap” curiosity on a stool near the corner of a house (picture8). Resume your exploration of the village until you reach a district where Hugo notices white crosses painted on the doors (picture9). An epidemic ravaged the village and that explains the behaviour of the villagers.
picture7
picture8
picture9
Continue to progress until you see a track on your right, where there is an apple tree (picture10). Get close to the tree and pick an apple (picture11) to offer it to your brother and thus unlock the “Feeding the Hungry” Achievement / Trophy (picture12). Go back on your way towards the smoke to quickly find its source.
picture10
picture11
picture12
Escape the Villagers
After the cutscene, you are chased by the villagers. Run into the alleys, while anticipating what’s ahead of you. Turn left when a villager arrives in front (picture13), and then enter the alley on the right to enter a building (picture14).
picture13
picture14
Unfortunately, a villager is inside and blocks your exit. Throw a stone at the stoves hanging on the wall (picture15), and wait for the man to come down to go around him and climb the stairs to get out (picture16).
picture15
picture16
Once outside, the pursuit resumes again (picture17). Go into the streets and when you see a gate at the end of an alleyway, turn left to help your brother climb a low wall (picture18).
picture17
picture18
Enter the building where there is a large crate on wheels. With Hugo, push it against the back wall and then climb on it (pictures19-20). In the second room, look up to see a crate hanging from a chain. Use your sling to shoot at the ring and drop the crate (picture21).
picture19
picture20
picture21
Then push the latter against the wall to get out of the building (picture22). Back in the village streets, a woman sees you at her window and alerts the other villagers (picture23). Enter the courtyard and have Hugo climb upper the ladder against the back wall, despite his warnings (picture24). The ladder breaks and prevents you from following him.
picture22
picture23
picture24
React quickly by crossing the left fence (picture25). Take out your sling and aim for the ring that holds the crate to drop it (picture26), then wait for Hugo to push it. Climb up to join your brother and then crouch down quickly to spy discreetly on Conrad below (picture27).
picture25
picture26
picture27
Continue on your way until you come across two villagers who are blocking your progress. Throw a stone at the right scarecrow (picture28) to quickly reach the left path (picture29). Follow it up to the tall grass and pick up a jar. Throw it away as shown in the picture below to attract the man in this direction (picture30), and go towards the street on the left.
picture28
picture29
picture30
The chase resumes immediately after you pass the gate. At the end of the street, open the door to take refuge in a house (picture31). Quickly pass through the second room and help Hugo to pass through the small window on the right (picture32) so that he can open the door for you from the outside. Finally your race leads you into a dead end where everything seems lost (picture33), but an old woman helps you and welcomes you into her home.
picture31
picture32
picture33
Take the Clothes from the Chest on the Upper Floor
The latter invites you to go upstairs to pick up some dry clothes. Reach the bedroom and first collect the last Collectible of the chapter, the “Incense and Herbs” Curiosity (picture34). Then interact with the big chest to trigger a cutscene (picture35). Now go back down to the old woman named Clervie. She notices that you have a sling and suggests that you fix it using her workbench in the back room.
picture34
picture35
Take the Piece of Leather from the Backyard and the Tools from near the Workbench
Go through this room and first pick up the tools to the left of the workbench (picture36). Then go out into the courtyard and pick up the leather that is directly to your left (picture37). Now that you have all the necessary materials, enter the house again and interact with the workbench (picture38).
picture36
picture37
picture38
Fix the Sling on the Workbench
From the upgrades menu, you just have what you need to fix the sling. This upgrade increases the speed of the projectiles and now makes it possible to kill a target with a head shot (picture39). Once fixed, you can see the many upgrades that will be possible for Amicia’s sling and equipment. You can consult the upgrades menu at any time from the game menu. After fixing the sling, go back to Clervie to trigger a cutscene.
picture39
Follow and Protect Hugo
Hugo has just fled and you must pursue him through the streets of the village before he is killed. Walk through the courtyard door (picture40), and run up the street. When Hugopasses under a portcullis, climb the low wall on the left (picture41), and continue your journey in the alleys most affected by the epidemic. After a moment, you receive an alarming message warning you that Hugo has just been attacked and that he may die if you do not help him (picture42).
picture40
picture41
picture42
Go in his direction and arm your sling to kill his attacker with a shot to the head (picture43). After this first and difficult murder for Amicia, resume your journey towards the church. The young boy is caught by Conrad, who is wearing a full armor (picture44). With the gate stuck, climb the left wall to enter the church courtyard (picture45).
picture43
picture44
picture45
The confrontation is now inevitable but your sling can do nothing against your assailant’s armor (picture46). A simple blow of his enormous mace is synonymous with immediate death. You must use the dodge button at the right time (picture47), and take advantage of your opponent’s slowness to shoot at the two fasteners in his back with your sling in order to strip off the chest part of his armor (picture48).
picture46
picture47
picture48
With his chest now vulnerable, shoot at the ring on it to drop the protection on his neck (picture49). A last dodge allows you to hit the ring behind his head in order to drop his helmet (picture50). Then all you have to do is to shoot one last stone into Conrad’s head to kill him (picture51), and finish this second chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough.

03 – RETRIBUTION
In this new part of the A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough, Amicia and Hugo explore the church where they found refuge at the end of the Chapter 2. Still looking for Laurentius, they think they can get some information from the priests.
Explore the Church
The chapter begins directly in the church and Hugo goes to explore the place by himself (picture1). Wait until he lights a candle for his parents and comes back to you to continue exploring the area. You notice that from now on, you can find crafting materials pretty much everywhere (picture2). We will not describe their location, but it is strongly recommended to search the area thoroughly in order to upgrade your equipment as quickly as possible.
picture1
picture2
At the back of the church to the right of the nave, there is the chapter’s first Collectible, the “Rosary” Gift, on a stone table (picture3). You then notice that a barricade has been erected at the exit (picture4), forcing you to find an alternative path. Return to the entrance of the church to find a ladder leaning against a wall and leading to a broken stained glass window (picture5).
picture3
picture4
picture5
Follow the Priest
Climb with Hugo to meet a priest who tells you to leave the area (picture6). Follow this priest through two large rooms where several crafting materials are located. Once in the courtyard where you saw the priest, Hugo lets go off Amicia’s hand to approach the flowers (picture7). This is a new type of Collectible, there are a total of 13 flowers that will complete Hugo’s Herbarium. Collect this first flower which is a “Carnation” (picture8).
picture6
picture7
picture8
Then continue in the corridor to a small inner courtyard (picture9) where you finally catch up with the priest who presents himself as Father Thomas. Thomas agrees to help you and asks you to follow him closely to enjoy the halo of his torch (picture10). Walk into the room and then the corridor until you trigger a cutscene during which the poor priest meets his creator (picture11).
picture9
picture10
picture11
Escape the Rats
Serious matters start now, as you have to escape the rats in the area, rats which fortunately fear the light. Move the torch forward to the stairs at the back of the room (picture12). At the end of the corridor, an obstacle forces you to give up your torch. Place it on the wall bracket (picture13), and climb the barricade with Hugo.
picture12
picture13
In the next corridor, pick up a stick (picture14), and light it with the candle (picture15). Unlike torches, sticks burn very quickly and are only a temporary solution. Cross the corridor with the burning stick to reach the stairs (picture16).
picture14
picture15
picture16
Reach the Entrance to the Crypt
On the upper floor, you can see the three statues mentioned by Father Thomas indicating the crypt and therefore the exit of the monastery (picture17). Climb the barricade on the right with Hugo (picture18), the direct path being overrun with rats. In the new corridor, you can see braziers that light up part of the area. Use your sling to drop the brazier that is hanging from the ceiling so that you can cross safely (picture19).
picture17
picture18
picture19
With the back door closed, enter the room on the left. Directly to your left is a ladder that you must climb (picture20). From this high position, use your sling to shoot at the ring that holds the brazier in the air (picture21). By breaking it, you create a pendulum effect that will allow you to cross without risk. But note the opening in the middle of its trajectory, in the right wall (picture22).
picture20
picture21
picture22
Go down the ladder and wait for the brazier to light up the side of the room you are in to engage. Halfway up, climb the right wooden board (picture23) to reach a dark room that contains many materials and the “Brew” Curiosity (picture24).
picture23
picture24
Then wait until the brazier is in the right position to exit the room and reach the back corridor. Climb the stairs until you find a workbench and a tool (picture25) that will help you upgrade your equipment. At this point you should be able to upgrade your pocket to be able to carry more materials (picture26).
picture25
picture26
The next room is a large kitchen where no light source allows you to pass through. Look up at the ceiling to see two large hams hanging from the ceiling. Use your sling to drop them both (pictures27-28), and open a passage in the middle of the rat tide. Leave the room by passing over the overturned table at the back right (picture29).
picture27
picture28
picture29
Walk down the hallway to a door that you need to unlock. On the other side, a new situation presents itself to you. Once again, there is no light source that allows you to move around the room. Climb on the tables (picture30), and move forward until you see a new ham hanging against a wall (picture31). Drop it with your sling and then get off the table. A torch is located on the other side of a grid (picture32).
picture30
picture31
picture32
Quickly press the button that appears on the screen to lift the boards (picture33), and allow Hugo to pass underneath. He grabs the torch but gets stuck on the other side. Move forward together by sticking to the grid to take advantage of the torch light. At the end, an opening allows you to take the torch in hand (picture34), while Amicia asks her brother to continue through a hole in the wall.
picture33
picture34
Armed with the torch, you can now explore the room safely to recover several crafting objects. Then place the torch on the bracket against the wall and climb the barricade (picture35). You soon hear Hugo scream for help a little further. Pick up a stick, light it with a candle, and use the same stick to ignite a brazier on the ground (picture36).
picture35
picture36
You then see Hugo upstairs, safe but trapped by many rats. Use your sling on the two ceiling braziers (picture37). Light them one after the other witha stick (picture38), and wait for Hugo to drop a third one. Light it up (picture39) so that Hugo can join you.
picture37
picture38
picture39
Before leaving the area, climb up the ladder he just used (picture40) to reach the upper level where you find the last collectible of the chapter, the “Crusader Tabard” Curiosity (picture41), as well as a crafting tool (picture42).
picture40
picture41
picture42
Now go back to the beginning of the room and, always with a burning stick, reach the door at the far right (picture43). You then arrive at the entrance of the crypt where you can also find a workbench to upgrade your equipment (picture44).
picture43
picture44
Leave the Monastery
Cross the barricade (picture45) and go down into the crypt. Pick up a stick and light it on the candle (picture46) before rushing into a corridor covered with a strange matter (picture47).
picture45
picture46
picture47
At the end of the corridor, quickly use your piece of wood to light the brazier (picture48), then pick up a new one to continue in the crypt to a second brazier (pictures49-50).
picture48
picture49
picture50
You can now see the daylight at the back of a long area immersed in darkness. Walk over the barricade (picture51), and run towards the stairs to find the sunlight (picture52), and finish this part of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide.
picture51
picture52
At the end of the corridor, quickly use your piece of wood to light the brazier (picture48), then pick up a new one to continue in the crypt to a second brazier (pictures49-50).

04 – THE APPRENTICE
After they escaped the monastery, we meet Amicia and Hugo again, in this new part of the A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide, as they set off for Laurentius’s farm and try to get there before nightfall.
Reach Laurentius’s Farm
Follow the road and, when you see barriers on the right, go off the trail and go back up to find a small camp (picture1). Against a tree stump, there is the first collectible of the chapter, the “Hermetic Vessel” Curiosity (picture2). Return to the dirt road and continue until you reach a guard post where two soldiers of the Inquisition block your way (picture3).
picture1
picture2
picture3
Wait until they separate by hiding in the tall grass, and then throw a stone at the chest full of armor (picture4). Wait for the guard to come and examine the origin of the sound, and when he goes back to his post, sneak behind his back, while crouching to be more stealthy, and hide behind the tree trunks (picture5).
picture4
picture5
Then go down to get the vase near the cart, and divert the second soldier’s attention (picture6) to continue to the right. Walk up the path to a cart (picture7), and wait for the new guard to turn his back on you to retrieve the contents of the chest (picture8). From this chapter on, you will find these large chests containing crafting materials everywhere.
picture6
picture7
picture8
Then go into the tall grass and wait for Amicia to mention a hole in the wall of the house. Then throw a stone at the scarecrow (picture9), and send Hugo into the house (picture10) to open the shutter. Throw a new stone at the scarecrow before reaching the house, the timing in the guard’s patrol being too short without this diversion (picture11).
picture9
picture10
picture11
Inside the small building, you will find a tool (picture12), and vases. Use one of them to distract the second guard as shown in the picture below (picture13). Then quickly reach the tall grass to watch a conversation on the bridge leading to Laurentius’s Farm (picture14). You’re going to have to take a detour to find the doctor.
picture12
picture13
picture14
The guards on the bridge turn their backs on you, allowing you to reach the sawmill safely. Hide behind the trunks and wait for the guard to turn his back on you to progress inside the building (picture15). Collect the vase from the top of the stairs, and throw it away (picture16) so that you can quickly climb out of the building with Hugo (picture17). You then find a workbench where you can continue to upgrade your equipment.
picture15
picture16
picture17
Continue along the river until you reach a vineyard where Hugo lets go of your hand and goes into hiding (picture18). Switch to stealth mode, and walk along the field from the left, discreetly climbing up each row until you see your little brother turning his back on you. Slip discreetly behind him (picture19) to see a button appear on the screen (picture20). If you manage to find him without him hearing you, you will be rewarded with the “Found!” Achievement/Trophy.
picture18
picture19
picture20
Now return to the entrance of the field and stick to the right along the river to find a boat wreck with the “Diary of an Alchemist” Gift on it (picture21). Go up the field until you see a house with new soldiers of the Inquisition. Enter the house through the window (picture22), and pick up the pot inside. Slip into the tall grass, and throw the pot as shown in the picture below to distract the guard (picture23), while paying attention to the second guard who’s patrolling in the area.
picture21
picture22
picture23
Reach the next patch of tall grass and, while still watching the guard on patrol, throw a stone at the scarecrow (picture24) to retrieve the contents of the chest and reach the other patch of tall grass a little further up. Continue up to the next zone where two guards block your way. Collect the stones, quickly throw one stone at the chest full of armor parts on the right (picture25), and another at the left scarecrow (picture26) to distract the two guards at the same time, and reach the tall grass a little further away.
picture24
picture25
picture26
Then wait until the next two guards are in the same position as in our picture (picture27) to be able to reach the tall grass without risk. From the tall grass, wait one last time for the soldier with a torch to pass by you (picture28) to reach the last high grass of the area and enter the right ruins (picture29).
picture27
picture28
picture29
You are now out of reach and can take a break. Climb the wall with Hugo, and walk along the path. Hugo then has a seizure that forces you to carry him on your back. Once in sight of Laurentius’s Farm, the rats make their return. Cross the red mud to see that it slows you down greatly, and that you will have to avoid it at all costs for the next section (picture30). So follow the path made of boards to stay dry (picture31), and run from torch to torch to stay safe from the rats threat (picture32).
picture30
picture31
picture32
When the path is finally blocked, use your sling to break the barrier that holds animal carcasses (picture33). Cross over on the corpses and go pick up a stick near the cart. Do not light it at the campfire but rather at the torch which is the closest to the path you will follow (picture34), or you’ll risk seeing it completely consumed before you reach the next fire (picture35).
picture33
picture34
picture35
Take a stick again, and go light the fire on the cart a little higher (picture36). Then push the cart with Hugo to make your way to Laurentius’s Farm at the top of the hill (picture37).
picture36
picture37
Find Laurentius
Before entering the doctor’s house (picture38), go to the back of the garden (picture39) to find a new flower for Hugo’s Herbarium, an “Aquilegia” (picture40).
picture38
picture39
picture40
With all the doors of the house closed, send Hugo through the window so he can open from the inside (picture41). Then search all the rooms on the ground floor, and use the workbench to upgrade your equipment (picture42).
picture41
picture42
Then go upstairs and startby visiting the room at the far right (picture43) to find the last collectible of the chapter, the “Vitriol” curiosity (picture44). Then enter the room on the left to trigger a cutscene where you will find Laurentius and his young assistant Lucas. He suggests you to go to the Chateau d’Ombrage, and asks his assistant to take you to the barn to make some Ignifer.
picture43
picture44
Enter Laurentius’s Laboratory
The rats took advantage of the conversation to slip into the house. Use your sling to destroy the lantern against the wall (picture45), and then drop the two suspended hams to reach the door (picture46).
picture45
picture46
Follow Lucas to the barn to see that it is full of rats that prevent you from reaching the laboratory (picture47). Go out and interact with the big bag of grains (picture48). Pull it to the barn with Lucas to attract the pig inside (picture49).
picture47
picture48
picture49
Get out of the barn again and follow Lucas who installs a ladder (picture50). From this position, use your sling to destroy the two lanterns, and thus feed the pig to the rats (picture51).
picture50
picture51
Grab the Materials for Lucas
Go down the ladder and enter the laboratory (picture52). Lucas then asks you to combine sulphur and alcohol. Search the area for ingredients and then join him (picture53). He then teaches you how to make Ignifer (picture54). This is when the rats enter the laboratory, giving you a perfect excuse to use your new gadget.
picture52
picture53
picture54
Light the Embers with an Ignifer and Go Back to Laurentius
Throw the Ignifer on the embers in the center of the room to light them back on (picture55), and repel the rats. Go up the stairs and use another Ignifer on the right embers (picture56) to reach the ladder. Once outside, make some Ignifer to light the embers below (picture57), and go down the ladder to trigger a cutscene.
picture55
picture56
picture57
Flee from Laurentius’s Farm
Laurentius’s Farm is now lost and your only chance of survival is to reach the river. Follow the path lit by the haystacks, and light the ones already extinguished with Ignifer (picture58). Once at the foot of the mill, use your sling with Ignifer to ignite one of the mill blades (picture59).
picture58
picture59
Wait until this blade clears a path in the middle of the swarm of rats (picture60), and run towards the boat at the end of the pontoon (picture61). Once safe, a cutscene is triggered and it concludes this eventful chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough.

05 – THE RAVENS’ SPOILS
Now accompanied by Laurentius’ apprentice, Lucas, we meet Amicia and Hugo again, while they’re on their way to the Chateau d’Ombrage, in this new part of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough.
Follow the Aqueduct
Follow the river bank towards the aqueduct until Hugo disappears in the distance (picture1). Pass under the broken trunk to find him with the shield of an English soldier (picture2). Then walk along the left bank to find access to a clearing (picture3).
picture1
picture2
picture3
Climb up towards this clearing and Hugo will take your hand again. Continue on the left (picture4) until you reach a new flower for Hugo’s Herbarium, “Gladiolus” (picture5). Return to the aqueduct and progress until you come across a huge battlefield (picture6).
picture4
picture5
picture6
Cross the Battlefield
Pass over the bodies while following the torches in the distance until you fall on a horse carcass. As you approach the corpse explodes (picture7), and hundreds of rats come out of it. Look on your left to find a brazier (picture8) that you can revive with Ignifer. Slip under the trunk and light the haystack (picture9) to reach the torches in the distance.
picture7
picture8
picture9
A little further on you see two looters fleeing (picture10). Continue in their direction and use an Ignifer to reach the huge catapult (picture11). Using your sling, set the end of the catapult on fire as shown in the picture below (picture12).
picture10
picture11
picture12
Then activate the crank with Lucas (picture13), and send Hugo to get a piece of wood (picture14). Light on the latter to move to the next torch. Crouch quickly in the tall grass because a guard arrives in your direction (picture15).
picture13
picture14
picture15
Equip your stones on the sling and shoot at the lantern in his hand to expose him to the rats (picture16). Take advantage of the fact that the rats are busy eating his dead body (picture17) to reach the stone bridge. On the right, you can climb up the rocks to reach a chest containing some precious resources. Then follow the direction of the siege tower.
picture16
picture17
Use an Ignifer to light the brazier (picture18), and then use your sling to break the ring that holds the tower closed (picture19). There is a guard inside with a torch that you cannot shut off. Aim for the soldier’s head with your sling to eliminate him (picture20).
picture18
picture19
picture20
Enter the tower to find a tool (picture21), as well as materials and a workbench. Pick up a stick and move in the direction of the cart (picture22). Light on its brazier and push it towards the left slope where there is a guard (picture23).
picture21
picture22
picture23
Eliminate him with a shot to the head (picture24), and continue pushing the cart to the trunk where the “Wheat Flail” Curiosity is located (picture25). Go down the slope with the cart again, and head for the second guard. The latter having a helmet, shoot at his lantern so that the rats can take care of him (picture26). Push the cart until it gets stuck a little further.
picture24
picture25
picture26
Continue along the path until you come across a guard who turns his back on you. Hide behind the wall and note the torch a little further away (picture27). Tell Hugo and Lucas to wait for you and slip behind the guard’s back (picture28) until you can pick up the torch (picture29).
picture27
picture28
picture29
Quickly return to the two young boys, and continue on your way until you have to climb. Place the torch on the bracket (picture30), and help your brother to climb. Then equip your sling to shoot at the two rings holding the bodies of soldiers, and open a path in the middle of the swarm of rats (picture31). Before joining the siege engine, squeeze the left corner to find a chest and the “Oliphant” curiosity on a dead body (picture32).
picture30
picture31
picture32
Then light the fire near the siege engine (picture33), and climb inside. Grab the torch from the wall (picture34), and start moving forward slowly. You notice that a guard is stuck at the end and that if you keep moving forward, the rats will eventually devour him (picture35).
picture33
picture34
picture35
Halfway through, stop to place your torch on a new holder (picture36). Then equip your sling with Ignifer to light the torch near the guard (picture37), saving his life (picture38). You will then obtain the “Savior” Achievement/Trophy.
picture36
picture37
picture38
Take the torch again and continue until you reach the exit at the back left (picture39). Jump into the mud below and search the chest directly on your left to find a tool (picture40). A little further on, you come across a guard that is impossible to distract or eliminate. Lucas then gives you ingredients and teaches you a new alchemical formula, Somnum (picture41).
picture39
picture40
picture41
Craft a dose of it (picture42), and slide behind the soldier’s back to neutralize him (picture43). Then approach the catapult and look in the upper left corner to find an extinguished fire. Use your sling with Ignifer to turn it back on (picture44).
picture42
picture43
picture44
Then ask Lucas to activate the machine (picture45). After a few seconds, the catapult allows you to reach the stairs without risk (picture46). Use Ignifer to light the torch behind the grid (picture47), and send Hugo into the hole to lookfor a stick.
picture45
picture46
picture47
Light the stick on the torch (picture48), and then move in the direction of the fire you lit earlier in the upper corner (picture49). Next to this fire, strongly reminiscent of a certain Dark Souls, you find the last collectible of the chapter, the “Ballastella (Jacob’s Staff)” gift (picture50). Pick up a stick and come back to Lucas. You must now repeat the entire process with the catapult to retrieve a stick with Hugo but, this time, ask Lucas to activate the catapult again in order to join him with your stick intact in hand.
picture48
picture49
picture50
Light it on the brazier next to the catapult (picture51) to reach the torch a little further. As you move towards the second torch, you witness the collapse of a part of the aqueduct (picture52). Take the left path towards a workbench. Use Ignifer on the haystack (picture53), then climb on the trunk to reach a cart.
picture51
picture52
picture53
This time, you will not push it but follow it as he rolls down the slope. Use your sling to detach it (picture54), and follow it while staying on the wooden boards on the ground (picture55). Go under the aqueduct and look directly to your left where there is a guard. Wait until he moves to shoot at the ring of the burning tower (picture56). You then drop burning corpses that get rid of the soldier while providing you with a source of light.
picture54
picture55
picture56
Then turn around and use Ignifer to light the torch (picture57) in order to pick up a stick. Light it on the last torch and follow the direction of the burning bodies (picture58). At the end of the path, climb the remains of the aqueduct with Hugo (picture59).
picture57
picture58
picture59
Go up the path while remaining crouched as English soldiers are carrying bodies (picture60). Wait until they move to the right to continue your progress. Higher up, throw a stone at the chest containing helmets to distract the guard (picture61), and then continue along the path.
picture60
picture61
You finally arrive at a wall that takes you back to the forest (picture62). A little further on, you find the two young looters in conversation with a soldier (picture63). A cutscene then begins, ending this part of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide.
picture62
06 – DAMAGED GOODS
This part of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide is dedicated to the sixth chapter of the adventure, Damaged Goods, where our two heroes are separated for the first time after being captured by English soldiers.
Find Hugo
After Melie has freed you from your cage, you find yourself without any equipment, sling or inventory (picture1). Follow the girl until you reach a guard that you cannot pass without help. You must rely on Melie’s brother, Arthur, to create a distraction. You have the choice of the source of said distraction. Choose the cart in this first case (picture2), and quickly follow Melie to the tent a little further away (picture3).
picture1
picture2
picture3
A little further on, you have to choose a new source of distraction. Choose the barrel of spears (picture4), and quickly enter the next tent. Be particularly careful with the bottles on the ground that could wake up the guards (picture5).
picture4
picture5
Before following Melie further, stop in the left corner of the tent and watch the guard’s patrol (picture6) to pick up the “Knucklebones” Gift on the table (picture7). You can also retrieve a tool near the cut wood (picture8).
picture6
picture7
picture8
Follow Melie through the camp again (picture9), and go hide in the tall grass near the shooting range. Wait for the archer to go see his target closely, and then return to his initial position, to slip towards the other patch of tall grass (picture10).
picture9
picture10
Continue like this until you reach a new area where you have to call on Arthur. This time choose the pot on the fire (picture11) to slip discreetly under the crane (picture12), and to the tent in the distance.
picture11
picture12
Wait for the two soldiers to finish their conversation (picture13) to follow Melie to another tent (picture14). Inside the latter is a locked chest. After a short conversation you can call the young thief to open it (picture15).
picture13
picture14
picture15
Get out of the tent, and walk along the right barricade (picture16) to find a small room where you can find the “Pound Sterling” curiosity (picture17). Then follow Melie into the canteen, paying attention to the many bottles on the ground that could wake the soldiers up (picture18).
picture16
picture17
picture18
Free Hugo
Continue to follow Melie until a gathering of soldiers around the cage where Hugo is held prisoner (picture19). Wait for a man to announce your disappearance so that all the soldiers can disperse (picture20). Approach Hugo’s cage and interact with him to learn where your equipment is located (picture21).
picture19
picture20
picture21
Ask Melie to open the chest to get your sling back (picture22). Shoot at the ring that holds Hugo’s cage (picture23), and then ask Melie to pick its lock (picture24) to bring the brother and sister back together.
picture22
picture23
picture24
Leave the Camp
Now that you’ve found Hugo, you have to find a way out of the camp. If you can try a discreet exit, you have earned the right to a little revenge. Not all soldiers in the area have helmets and can therefore be eliminated by a head shot (pictures25-26-27). It is strongly recommended to adopt this approach in order to search the camp for many crafting resources.
picture25
picture26
picture27
Following the central path, search the tents on the left just after the horse pen (picture28) to find the last collectible of the chapter, the “Declaration of War” curiosity, on a stool behind a stand (picture29). Now approach the main door to trigger a cutscene where your parents’ killer is trying to capture you.
picture28
picture29
Survive and Escape the Camp
Take advantage of Arthur’s diversion to escape. Arm your sling to eliminate the two guards who arrive in front of you (picture30), then follow Melie up the ladder (picture31).
picture30
picture31
Wait until she opens the door upstairs (picture32), and directly eliminate the archer on your left (picture33). Also pay attention to a second soldier coming for some hand-to-hand combat (picture34).
picture32
picture33
picture34
Then go down the stairs and protect Melie while she opens the hatch (picture35). Eliminate the guards (picture36) until a cutscene is triggered, ending this chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough.
picture35
picture36
picture35
07 – THE PATH BEFORE US
Just after escaping the clutches of the English and the Inquisition, we meet Amicia and Hugo again as they follow Melie to find Lucas, in this new part of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough.
Follow Melie and Cross the River
Start by following Melie until you reach an old mill. Wait until the young thief opens the door (picture1), and then walk through the building to find yourself confronted with a problem. To cross the river, you will have to slow down the mill blades. First activate the right lever with Amicia (picture2). Then ask Melie to activate the crank (picture3).
picture1
picture2
picture3
Your combined actions stop the mill allowing you to ask Hugo to go and activate the lever on the other side (picture4). Then release your lever and cross over to use the crank (picture5). All you have to do then is to tell Melie to let go of her crank and join you (picture6).
picture4
picture5
picture6
Reach Melie’s Hideout
Once in front of the workbench, take out your sling and shoot at the lock of the door (picture7). Then give Melie a leg up (picture8) so that she can help you climb up in the building, and take the first collectible of the chapter, the “Horseshoe” Curiosity (picture9).
picture7
picture8
picture9
Go back near the workbench and interact with the boards that stand in your way (picture10)so you can continue towards an old abandoned village. Once in front of the well, in the center of the village, take the right track (picture11) up to a ruined house where you find a new flower for Hugo’s Herbarium, a “Hawthorn” (picture12).
picture10
picture11
picture12
Go back to Melie and follow her until Hugo has another seizure. Interact with him to reassure him, and take him on your back (picture13). Continue to follow Melie to a ruined house and help her lift the hatch to trigger a cutscene (picture14).
picture13
picture14
Escape the Inquisition
The Inquisition has found you again, and you have to flee one more time. Follow Melie through the tunnels until you reach the exit where a guard stands. The latter has a helmet that prevents you from neutralizing him with a shot to the head. Fortunately Melie gives you some ingredients and teaches you a new alchemical formula, Devorantis (picture15). Make a dose of it (picture16), and use your sling to shoot at the guard’s helmet (picture17).
picture15
picture16
picture17
Quickly equip a stone and shoot at him once he has removed his helmet (picture18). From now on, you have enough tools to give you more options during your future confrontations with soldiers. We will continue to describe the methods we use, but you can very easily find alternatives. Reach the tall grass and start by neutralizing the right guard who is searching in a crate (picture19). The latter has no helmet and a simple shot to the head is enough to kill him. Then use your second dose of Devorantis to take care of the second guard’s helmet (picture20), and shoot at his head with a stone.
picture18
picture19
picture20
Continue to progress in the forest until you come across a large group of Inquisition soldiers (picture21). Walk along the area on the right and neutralize one of the few soldiers without a helmet (picture22). Hide in the tall grass and distract the second guard without a helmet with a pot or eliminate him with a stone (picture23), but know that the other soldiers will quickly find his body and start to search you.
picture21
picture22
picture23
On your right, there is a small camp with two soldiers. The soldier in the back is examining a map that is one of the mission’s collectibles. Use an Ignifer to light on the torch again, as shown in the picture below (picture24). Then, wait until the guard approaches to use a dose of Devorantis on his helmet (picture25), and neutralize him immediately by shooting a stone at his head before he alerts his comrades.
picture24
picture25
Do the same on the second soldier near the table (picture26), and then grab the “Map” curiosity (picture27). Enter the tall grass and watch the soldier’s patrol to slip behind his back in order to reach the next patch of tall grass (picture28). Then continue towards the portcullis that is closed, and go to the right to find an unlocked door.
picture26
picture27
picture28
Save Lucas
You then come across Lucas who is escorted by an Inquisition soldier. Make a dose of Devorantis (picture29), and take care of the soldier to help your friend. Now that you are finally together, it is time to resume your quest for the aqueduct and the Chateau Ombrage (picture30).
picture29
picture30
Find the Aqueduct
On the way, you come across an abandoned Inquisition chariot surrounded by rats. Lucas then gives you ingredients, and teaches you a new alchemical formula, one of the most powerful and expensive in the game, Luminosa (pictures31-32). Throw the potion among the rats to kill them and create a temporary light source (picture33). Note that if you have a Luminosa left in your inventory while you are submerged by rats, you will have a chance to use it to save yourself, but the extremely expensive manufacture cost of this preparation greatly penalizes your ability to upgrade your equipment.
picture31
picture32
picture33
Enter the cart to retrieve many resources, a tool (picture34), and also to find a workbench. Then go back to the aqueduct and use your sling to lower the ladder (picture35). You arrive in what appears to be a dead end until Melie discovers a hidden access to the inside of the aqueduct.
picture34
picture35
Enter the Aqueduct
Slip into the opening (picture36), and move forward until you reach a large cave. Use your sling again to detach a bridge (picture37), and approach the pontoon.
picture36
picture37
Ask Melie and Lucas to activate the cranks to pull a boat (picture38). Get in the boat with Hugo (picture39), and activate the crank once on the other side to send it back to Melie and Lucas (picture40).
picture38
picture39
picture40
Find the Castle
Once the small group has gathered, wait until Melie opens the door (picture41) to reach a particularly strange room. Lucas uses an Ignifer to light a brazier. Go up the stairs and push the brazier to guide the rats to a hole in the center of the area (picture42). While the boys are waiting, go down the ladder with Melie, and go back up on the other side (picture43).
picture41
picture42
picture43
Go to the far right to activate a brazier with an Ignifer (picture44). Then help Melie push the bridge (picture45) to reach the side where Hugo and Lucas are. While Melie opens the door to allow Hugo and Lucas to join you, pull the brazier you just lit to guide the rats to the central hole (picture46).
picture44
picture45
picture46
Now that the area is safe, cross the bridge and go down the ladder with Hugo (picture47) to leave the area. At the end of the long corridor, open the main door with Melie (picture48) to finally find the Chateau Ombrage.
picture47
picture48
Reach the Castle
Go up the stairs (picture49) and as soon as you can, go left. You find a house with a closed door that you can ask Melie to open (picture50). Inside, there is the last collectible of the chapter, the “Vinegar of the Four Thieves” Gift (picture51).
picture49
picture50
picture51
Come back to Lucas and wait for a lightning bolt to scare the rats away to reach the other side (pictures52-53). A little further on, you also have to rely on lightning bolts to cross a long corridor, but this time it is way too long to be crossed in one go (picture54).
picture52
picture53
picture54
Use an Ignifer to set fire to both hay bales (picture55) to create safety zones for yourself (picture56). Now go to the entrance of the castle and ask Melie to open the door on the right (picture57). The castle courtyard is a large and complex system built to trap rats. You will have to clean up the area completely to reach the castle’s living quarters.
picture55
picture56
picture57
Reach the Living Quarters and Repel all the Rats into the Pit
Lucas uses an Ignifer to light the brazier below and then sits down with Hugo. Once again, it’s up to Amicia and Melie to take care of the rats. Start by pushing the brazier to the ladder at the back (picture58). The rats then reach the inner circle. Go down the ladder, and take a stick to light a second brazier in the inner circle (picture59). Then climb up the ladder, and activate the crank to guide all the rats to the central trench (picture60).
picture58
picture59
picture60
Now that the path is safe, Melie joins you and can help you lower the bridge (picture61). Cross and light the brazier with an Ignifer (picture62). Go down the ladder, and ask Melie to activate the crank to move the brazier (picture63).
picture61
picture62
picture63
Follow it until you reach a new brazier that you must also light with an Ignifer (picture64). Repeat the operation once again with the brazier of the outer circle (picture65).
picture64
picture65
Then climb up following the white marks on the walls (picture66), and push the brazier from the outer circle to bring all the rats back to the inner circle (picture67). At the end, you find a tool in a chest (picture68).
picture66
picture67
picture68
Then ask Melie to release the crank (picture69) to bring the brazier back from the inner circle and guidea new batch of rats to the central trench (picture70). Bring the brazier of the outer circle back to its initial position (picture71), and find Melie at the bottom.
picture69
picture70
picture71
Give her a leg up so that she can then help you to climb (picture72). Push the bridge (picture73), then go down to the level of the brazier. This time you don’t need to ask Melie to activate the crank handle since she does it by herself, so be ready to follow the brazier’s light (picture74).
picture72
picture73
picture74
Use one Ignifer on the brazier of the outer circle (picture75), and a second Ignifer on the torch near the ladder (picture76). Then light a stick and join this ladder (picture77).
picture75
picture76
picture77
Climb up the ladder and push the brazier to guide the rats to the inner circle (picture78). Go back down and then up to the previous outer brazier to push the rats towards the second inner circle (picture79). Melie then guides the last rats of the castle towards the central trench (picture80), and a cutscene is triggered, ending this long chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough.

08 – OUR HOME
In this new part of the A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough, we meet our two heroes Amicia and Hugo again, as well as Melie and Lucas, after they spent their first safe night in the Chateau d’Ombrage.
Follow Hugo Underground
As soon as you wake up, Hugo asks you to follow him into the basement of the castle. Start by collecting materials in the Great Hall, including a tool near the workbench (picture1). Then pass the opening where your brother is waiting for you (picture2), and immediately look to the right to find the first collectible of the chapter, the “Iconography” curiosity (picture3).
picture1
picture2
picture3
Then follow Hugo down the stairs and when he stops on Lucas’ floor (picture4), continue to go further down and he will join you (picture5). Go down to the bottom until you find a lonely grave. Approach the sarcophagus, and wait a little while to get the “Tribute” Achievement / Trophy (picture6).
picture4
picture5
picture6
Help Lucas with the Elixir
Now go back to the laboratory to find Lucas about to make a preparation (picture7). He needs your help to get a vial from the table at the back left (picture8). Pick up this vial and place it on the table where Lucas works. He then asks you to collect the concentrated laurel sap. This vial is on your right on a table (picture9). Place it next to Lucas to watch the experiment fail miserably.
picture7
picture8
picture9
Follow Hugo to the Ramparts
Now go back up to the Great Hall, and follow Hugo towards the castle walls (picture10). Once you have passed the opening, look immediately to your left in the grass to find the “Alchemical Crucible” Gift (picture11). Go up the last row of stairs, and play with the echo to please Hugo (picture12).
picture10
picture11
picture12
Then go talk to Melie a little further away (picture13). After the conversation, take a look behind her to find the “Bird Language Manual” curiosity against the barrel (picture14). Come back to Hugo to examine the courtyard as he asks you to (picture15).
picture13
picture14
picture15
Inspect the Symbol in the Great Hall
Then follow him in the Great Hall to find a mosaic reminiscent of the same symbols (picture16). Finally, follow Hugo in the last part of the castle to trigger a cutscene (picture17). At the end of the latter, approach your brother to find a new type of flower for his herbarium, the “St John’s Wort” (picture18).
picture16
picture17
picture18
Join Melie in the Great Hall to Leave with Her
When you are ready to complete the chapter, find Melie near the fireplace in the Great Hall, and interact with her (picture19) to trigger a cutscene that ends this very short chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide.
picture19
Join Melie in the Great Hall to Leave with Her
When you are ready to complete the chapter, find Melie near the fireplace in the Great Hall, and interact with her (picture19) to trigger a cutscene that ends this very short chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide.
09 – IN THE SHADOW OF RAMPARTS
Amicia is forced to leave the security of the Chateau d’Ombrage in this new part of the A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough. She and Melie are heading back to the city to get her hands on a book that could save her younger brother’s life.
Follow Melie
From the beginning of the chapter, follow Melie (picture1), and look to your left to find a flower hidden behind a tree, it is a “Lavender” (picture2). Then walk over the wall while witnessing the evacuation of the city by the Inquisition forces. Continue along the path and ask Melie to open the door for you (picture3). The latter then abandons you to go to the rescue of her own brother.
picture1
picture2
picture3
Find and Reach the University
Go up the stairs and watch out for the guards a little further (picture4). You finally arrive on the rooftops from where you can see the university, your objective for this chapter (picture5). Go down to the right to reach the street, and move forward while crouching to avoid being seen by two guards moving to the left. Slip behind their backs and go hide behind a wooden barricade (picture6).
picture4
picture5
picture6
Use an Ignifer on the torch (picture7), and pick up a stick. Wait until the guard passes near you and go around him to the left, before climbing the barricade at the end of the street (picture8).
picture7
picture8
Throw a stone at the chest of armors (picture9), and wait for the guard to return to his post to pass behind his back, while taking advantage of the light from his torch. Hide behind the barricade (picture10), throw a new stone at the same chest (picture11) to continue towards the alley at the back left.
picture9
picture10
picture11
Climb up the balconies (picture12), and go get a stick behind the palisade at the back left. Light it on the torch and then go down the stairs among the rats. Hurry to the left corner to light the brazier on the wall (picture13). In the chest next to it, you will find a tool to upgrade your equipment (picture14).
picture12
picture13
picture14
Then return to the stairs and pass under the arch (picture15). After witnessing a conversation between a guard and a woman (picture16), enter the house on the right where a dead body is hanged.
picture15
picture16
Use your sling to drop it (picture17), and stay hidden until a guard enters the house. Wait until he is near the rats to break his lantern (picture18).
picture17
picture18
Walk along the left wall and step over the wooden wall (picture19) to reach a chest containing crafting materials, but also the “Sheepskin” Curiosity (picture20). With the door closed, go upstairs to find another door that allows you to exit (picture21).
picture19
picture20
picture21
Go down to the structure where many corpses are hanged, and use your sling to drop one in the middle of the rats (picture22). Take advantage of their voracious appetite to slip underneath, and exit through the left opening. Hide behind the barricade, you have several ways to approach the next section. You can light the torch with an Ignifer (picture23) and use it to neutralize the guard with a Somnum, or a combination of Devorantis and stone.
picture22
picture23
In both cases, then pick up a stick at the back right and light it on the torch you lit beforehand. Then slip under the structure with the hanged corpses again, and exit quickly through the left exit (picture24). If you are fast enough, you can go to the far left to light a brazier on a wall and collect some equipment from a chest. Then continue to the right and light the torch with an Ignifer (picture25). Wait for the guard to move and return to his original position, then use a pot to distract him (picture26), and continue through the alleys of the city until you reach the cemetery.
picture24picture25
picture26
With the door locked (picture27), turn right where there is a new invention of the Inquisition, the light beam. Light beams can open a path in the middle of rats. In this first case, simply point the beam at the house to enter without risk (picture28). Inside, there is a workbench and a crafting tool (picture29).
picture27
picture28
picture29
Then climb up the ladder and move discreetly to another light beam. Point it away from the guard to plunge him into darkness and make him vulnerable to rats (picture30). Then go into the next room and use the other beam to block the rats in the right corner (picture31), so that you can reach the window that triggers a cutscene.
picture30
picture31
You are now inside the cemetery which is full of rats. You have heard the alchemist talk about Episanguis, a crystal that would allow you, with a little sulphur, to make a new potion. Get off the roof, and go across the street to find a group of rats in a ditch. Use an Ignifer to turn on the brazier and then lower it (picture32). You discover some Episanguis (picture33), which allows you to craft some Odoris (picture34). The Odoris attracts rats to the site of the projectile’s impact for a short time.
picture32
picture33
picture34
So throw a vial on the left (picture35), and run quickly to get out of the ditch. The Episanguis also extends the possibilities of improvements for your equipment, do not hesitate to check these new upgrades which may prove very useful in the long term (picture36).
picture35
picture36
Return to the main path of the cemetery and use a dose of Odoris to clear a path to the flare a little further away (picture37). With the right grid locked for the moment, continue a little further and use a new vial of Odoris (picture38) to reach the light beam located further without risk. Light the right path to block the rats and climb the slope (picture39).
picture37
picture38
picture39
Reach a new light beam and throw an Odoris in the left corner as shown in the picture below (picture40). When all the rats in the area are in the corner, rotate the light beam to block them in this recess (picture41).
picture40
picture41
You will have to push a cart to progress but first start by climbing the small wall behind the cart (picture42) in order to descend to a ruined cellar. Inside, there is the “Pieces of Transis” Curiosity (picture43). Go up to the cart and push it up the slope to the back left (picture44). Push it against the right wall so you can climb up and out of the cemetery.
picture42
picture43
picture44
Back in the alleys of the city, you come across a real carnage. Go up the street and climb the barricade at the end. A guard is on your way and the game suggests that you use an Odoris on a living being for the first time (picture45). Do this so that the rats will attack him, and then visit the right corner to find a chest containing a crafting tool (picture46).
picture45
picture46
Then go down the left street and slip under the barricade. Use a stone on the box of armors (picture47) to attract the guard away from the light, and then use an Odoris (picture48) to attract rats to him, thus clearing the bridge (picture49).
picture47
picture48
picture49
Cross said bridge and when you come across two guards (picture50), take the alley on the left. In the lower left corner is a low wall that you can climb (picture51). It leads you to the second Alchemist Cart of the Inquisition, the first being impossible to miss in the chapter 7 “The Path Before Us“. There is an Achievement/Trophy you can unlock if you loot all the alchemist’s carts in the game. To reach this one, however, you must make a dose of Luminosa to kill the rats on the way (picture52).
picture50
picture51
picture52
Then retrieve all the resources from the cart (picture53), use the workbench, and then go back. Jump over the wall again and walk to the gate where you can see a box of armors. Throw a stone at it (picture54) to attract the guard and then return to the main street. Turn the light beam to the right and throw an Odoris towards the alley where the guard has gone. Once all the rats are in the alley, turn the beam to the left to block them with the guard (picture55).
picture53
picture54
picture55
Now walk up the open street and climb the barricade to the back (picture56). Continue until you reach a large square just in front of the university. Use your sling to drop the rat cages in the center (picture57), and then use a pot as shown in the picture below to attract the right guard in the middle of the rats (picture58). Then use your sling to destroy his lantern.
picture56
picture57
picture58
Walk along the path to the right, and then attract the last guard by throwing a stone at the box of armors (picture59) to quickly slip behind him and reach the university (picture60). Immediately on your right are two soldiers heading towards a small covered alcove (picture61).
picture59
picture60
picture61
With the help of a Devorantis and your sling, eliminate them both (picture62) in order to get your hands on the last collectible of the chapter, the “Chessboard” Gift (picture63).
picture62
picture63
You now have two options. You can enter the university through a back door on the right (picture64) or try to enter through the main door. To enter through the main door, you can walk along the facade of the building until you reach a barricade (picture65).
picture64
picture65
On the right, there is a pot, if you no longer have one, which you can then throw away to distract one of the two heavy armoured guards (picture66). It is then recommended to use a Somnum to neutralize the second one quickly (picture67), and thus reach the doors (picture68). As you interact with the door, the chapter ends and you will be rewarded with “The Hard Way” Achievement/Trophy if you have decided to enter through the main door.

10 – THE WAY OF ROSES
In this new part of the A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide, Amicia is finally in the university, after having crossed the alleys of the city under martial law. She then sets out in search of Sanguinis Itinera, the mythical book that is supposed to help Lucas fight Hugo’s disease.
Follow the Banners with Roses on Them
The chapter begins in two different places depending on whether you entered through the main door (picture1) or through the back door on the right (picture2). In both cases, you quickly reach a first room where there are two guards (picture3).
picture1
picture2
picture3
Wait until one of them leaves the room and neutralize the other with a shot to the head (picture4). Then push the box towards the upper right corner (picture5) to reach the door on the upper level (picture6).
picture4
picture5
picture6
In the next room (picture7), go down the right stairs and use the various pieces of furniture (picture8) to hide from the alchemist of the Inquisition and the guard (picture9).
picture7
picture8
picture9
Walk through the doors at the back left to reach a large room with two new soldiers. Slip behind their back to join a light beam that blocks rats in a small room (picture10). Rotate the beam as shown in the picture below (picture11) to allow the rats to exit and then use an Odoris to attract them to both guards (picture12).
picture10
picture11
picture12
Now enter the room where the rats were located to find a “Daisy” for Hugo’s Herbarium (picture13). Once the two guards have been eliminated and therats are eating their bodies, leave the room by slipping under the shelves at the back (picture14). You then arrive in a corridor where a prisoner is escorted by two guards (picture15).
picture13
picture14
picture15
The corridor is far too protected for you to follow the procession, so enter the room on your right (picture16). Go behind the crates and use a stone on the chest of armors to distract the two guards (picture17).
picture16
picture17
In the next room, rotate the light beam to the right (picture18), and then use an Odoris to attract all the rats to the left room (picture19). Then use the beam to illuminate the aperture to prevent them from coming back (picture20).
picture18
picture19
picture20
Walk through the door at the far right (picture21), and use the workbench to upgrade your equipment. Then go up the stairs (picture22), and pass through the door to trigger a long cutscene.
picture21
picture22
Follow the Prisoner
You must join the prisoner who is the key to getting your hands on the book (picture23). Go down into the room and walk along the right to avoid the two alchemists (picture24).
picture23
picture24
Wait in the corridor for the prisoner and his two guards to leave (picture25), and then neutralize the soldier on duty with a Devorantis (picture26). On the right bench, you will find the “Study of a Skinned Person” Curiosity (picture27).
picture25
picture26
picture27
Save the Prisoner
Resume your hunt for the prisoner (picture28), and when he finally faces the main door, use your sling to drop the chandelier on the head of the soldier in heavy armor (picture29). The prisoner named Rodric will then take care of the second guard. Go to his side and protect him while he opens the door while soldiers enter the room (picture30).
picture28
picture29
picture30
Follow the Prisoner
Then follow him into the university basement (picture31) and until you reach a door that allows you to take a break (picture32). Continue to a secret library where you can see the Sanguinis Itinera (picture33).
picture31
picture32
picture33
Before you tackle the puzzle to reach the book, go to the upper left corner to find a small alcove under the shelves (picture34). Inside, there is the “Theriaque” Curiosity (picture35) and a crafting tool (picture36).
picture34
picture35
picture36
Reach the Book
Now go to the center of the room and activate the left mechanism to lift a shelf (picture37). Rodric announces that he can activate it by himself, so give him the order to activate the mechanism (picture38) to retrieve the crate (picture39).
picture37
picture38
picture39
Go place the latter a little further to the right as in the picture below to be able to climb (picture40). Come back to the left to drop a second crate below (picture41). Then ask Rodric to activate the left mechanism and push the second crate under the lifted shelf (picture42).
picture40
picture41
picture42
Now that all the elements are in place, go up to the shelves and ask Rodric to activate the middle mechanism (picture43). Go through the first part and ask him to let go of the crank to continue to move on (picture44).
picture43
picture44
Climb the last part (picture45) to finally reach the book and trigger a cutscene (picture46).
picture45
picture46
Flee from the University
Follow Rodric until you reach a staircase that takes you back to the ground floor of the university (picture47). Walk through the door and progress through the corridor until you unlock a new capacity. You can now ask Rodric to discreetly get rid of an enemy (picture48).
picture47
picture48
Continue up to a new room where there is a guard. Use a stone on the chest of armors (picture49) to distract him and ask Rodric to take care of him (picture50). Then go to the upper right corner of the room to find a box of materials, but especially the last collectible of the chapter, the “Reading Stone” Gift (picture51).
picture49
picture50
picture51
In the next room, you must use your combined talents. Ask Rodric to neutralize the guard with a helmet (picture52) while you eliminate the second one with your sling. Wait until Rodric is on his target to attack the other soldier (picture53). Then continue in the corridors until you reach a door that takes you back outside (picture54).
picture52
picture53
picture54
A new situation arises where you cannot neutralize a guard on your way. Fortunately, Rodric surprised a conversation a little earlier and provided you with the materials (picture55) and the formula to make an Exstinguis. A new potion capable of extinguishing a fire (picture56). Use the preparation on the brazier next to the soldier so that he can be eaten by the rats (picture57).
picture55
picture56
picture57
Go down the stairs and use a new dose of Exstinguis, this time on the torch that the guard is holding (picture58). Walk along the right and climb the wooden barricade (picture59) to find a new Alchemist Cart of the Inquisition.
picture58
picture59
To reach it, you must make a new dose of Luminosa (picture60). Then enter the cart and loot its resources (picture61).
picture60
picture61
Go back and use a stone to attract one of the two guards to the chest of armors (picture62). Then ask Rodric to take care of him discreetly (picture63). For the second guard, you can use a pot to distract him and ask Rodric to eliminate him as well.
picture62
picture63
Then enter the burning university (picture64) and follow Rodric without delay (picture65). Finally, he breaks down a large door (picture66), then a last one that triggers a cutscene and ends this chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough.
picture64
picture65
11 – ALIVE
In this new part of the A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide, Amicia is back at the Chateau d’Ombrage with the Sanguinis Itinera book, after three weeks of research to find a cure for Hugo.
Ask Rodric to Open the Door and Explore the Corridor
Ask the young blacksmith to break down the door as you did with Melie, but in a much less subtle fashion (picture1). Go up the corridor (picture2) until you reach a new door that Rodric can break in (picture3). This little exploration is quite disappointing as it takes you back to the castle’s large courtyard.
picture1
picture2
picture3
Follow Rodric
Rodric is waiting for you in the middle of the courtyard to show you a few things, but don’t join him right away. After going down the ladder (picture4), stick to the right (picture5) to find a new flower for Hugo’s Herbarium in the middle of the weeds, a “Rhododendron” (picture6).
picture4
picture5
picture6
Then, meet Rodric in the center to discover a strange mosaic on the floor (picture7).
picture7
Join and Follow Lucas
This is the moment when Lucas makes a noticeable entrance (picture8). Reach him quickly by climbing up the right ladder (picture9), and follow him down the stairs to find Hugo in the main room (picture10). A long cutscene begins and marks the end of this chapter of our A Plague Tale: Innocence Walkthrough.

12 – ALL THAT REMAINS
Faced with Hugo’s deteriorating health, Amicia and Lucas go to the De Rune estate to find what they need to make a remedy, in this new part of the A Plague Tale: Innocence Guide.
Look for Medicine in Hugo’s Wing
At the beginning of the chapter, turn right because the bridge leading to the De Rune estate is destroyed. Cross the river using the fallen trunk (picture1), and then return to the main road. The latter is full of rats that prevent you from progressing (picture2). Climb the path to the right until you see a cart you can let roll down the slope by breaking the chain with your sling (picture3).
picture1
picture2
picture3
Go back a little bit to find a way to reach the now clear road (picture4). Turn right towards a house full of rats. First use an Odoris to bring all the rats from the area to the left, as shown in the picture below (picture5).
picture4
picture5
Then quickly light
