A Plague Tale Requiem Chapter 12 Walkthrough
- Head left and go down the ledge. Take the torch from the corpse beside the tent and move down towards the bonfire.
- Follow the guard and go to the castle.
- Go with the soldier. Follow the Count.
- Move back away from the Count. Upon reaching the altar, prepare for a quick-time event. After successfully pressing the buttons, head towards the door to your left.
- Run to the other end of the garden. Turn left and down the stairs. Enter the kitchen.
- Vault over the barrel to your left and crawl under the table after the Count passes by. Get up and squeeze between the shelves to your right. Run towards the left door.
- Continue down the hallway and turn left. The Count magically appears here so turn right and towards the left corner of the room. Squeeze between the walls. After the count appears, go back between the walls and lure the Count. Use the space between the shelves to reach the doorway and enter where the Count appeared.
- Head down the hallway until you enter a very large wine cellar. There are two cranks on the opposite side of the room connected to the two exit doors. Turning these take time and you have to turn them while being threatened by the Count. Use the rooms to lock the Count in for a few seconds so you can turn the crank and exit.
- Move forward and exit out into the open. Time for another quick time event.
- Walk Hugo towards the end of the garden. Turn left and exit the familiar corridor.
- Attack all the guards using the rats. You must not let anyone enter the circle as they have torches and can kill you. Also remember that you can kill multiple enemies with just a single attack. Eliminate everyone and survive for a minute to end this chapter.
A Plague Tale Requiem Chapter 12 Tips
Don’t Let The Count Catch You
After trusting and following the Count, he then turns against Amicia. A good chunk of this chapter involves running away from him. Using Amicia, run towards exits and try to lose him using cover. In some situations, you have to use cracks in the walls to get ahead of him. If you do get caught by the Count, it’s an automatic game over and you must restart from the nearest checkpoint.
Lock The Count To Open The Door
The last part of the chase requires you to open a door towards the exit. However, the doors are locked and they require you to turn a crank to open. During this segment, you are going to be hunted by the Count as usual.
To buy time, you can lock the count inside one of the rooms. To do so, go into the room and lure the Count in. Use the shelves to distance yourself and as cover. Then slowly go to the crack in the wall to exit the room. Sneak towards the door and lock him in. This can buy you enough time to open a path and escape.
QTE Chapter
