In A Plague Tale Requiem, players can watch an alternate ending to the game in Chapter 16, you could even call it as secret ending. Get to know how to get this alternate ending, what to do, and more using this guide.
Obviously, spoilers right ahead.
During the climax of the game, Amicia is forced to kill Hugo to finally end the effects of the Macula. However, are you really forced to do this? See, if you wait for a minute and a half before you fire, Lucas will instead see your hesitation and fire the crossbow on your behalf. This results in the same ending but is significantly different in terms of delivery.
The dialogue between Sophia and Amicia in the epilogue also changes if you let Lucas fire at the Hugo. If you fire at Hugo, Amicia will tell Sophia that the Lucas went on to study on his own. On the other hand, if you let Lucas kill Hugo, Amicia will express hatred and recalls how Lucas delivered the killing blow. Both endings end with Lucas studying on his own.
Chapter 16 is the climactic chapter of the game. In it, Hugo surrenders himself to the macula, thinking that Amicia has been killed during the battle at sea. With Hugo going way beyond the limit, it is up to Amicia and Lucas to put an end to the problem by surrendering Hugo to his fate.
