A Plague Tale: Requiem – How To Escape Enemies – Chapter 1

Still from Chapter 1 Under a New Sun in A Plague Tale: Requiem

This guide explains how to escape enemies in Chapter 1 of A Plague Tale: Requiem.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is the much-anticipated sequel to 2019’s A Plague Tale: Innocence. The game is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It continues the tragic but inspiring tale of Amicia and Hugo de Rune.

A Plague Tale: Requiem picks up six months after the first game and follows the siblings’ battle against the Inquisition and black plague infected rats.

At the start of the game, things seem to be much improved for Amicia, Hugo, their mother Beatrice, and friend Luca. Before long, the brother and sister duo encounter a group of mysterious and murderous men on a farm. This sets off a brutal chain of events.

Requiem improves on the first game in a few important ways. Not only does it look better, but it also has expanded combat options, improved stealth, an intuitive automatic progression system, and larger areas.

As with the first game, Requiem is packed full of puzzles to solve – often in tense life or death situations.

As a result, the game requires you to engage your brain every step of the way. It is crucial to think your way around most situations in the game.

Head down the ledge on the right in the second area.

Once you have escaped the castle and navigated through Hugo’s dream, the group are stopped on the road by a gang of men.

They know what happened at the castle and separate Amicia from the others as they try to escape.

When she’s alone, Amicia is massively out numbered by enemies. She needs to get past them and find her way back to Hugo, Luca, and Beatrice.

Immediately after falling from the cart, you can easily run past the enemies and go down a ledge.

Next, go into the house at the end of the field and climb through.

In the second area, you need to be more stealthy. Immediately head round to the right and crouch, dispatch any enemies that follow with your sling.

Go down the ledge and hide in the tall grass. Sneak round to the right and use your sling to stealthily pick off enemies.

Finally, head down to the end and squeeze between the gap in the rocks. Kill the guard on the other side.
