Follow Amicia and Hugo through Chapter 1 of A Plague Tale: Requiem. This walkthrough covers following Hugo, reaching the castle, and escaping the ruins, including the 'Perfect Shot' trophy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow Hugo down the slope and sprint after him when prompted.
  2. 2
    Crouch and hide from Lucas in the ruins. Sneak up behind Lucas and hold the ▢ button to startle him.
  3. 3
    Head towards the ruined castle. When you reach the stream, stand behind the log.
  4. 4
    Use your sling (L2 to aim, R2 to shoot) to hit the pine cones Hugo throws into the water. Hit all of them before the cutscene to unlock the 'Perfect Shot' trophy.
  5. 5
    Make your way down the riverbank towards the castle. Climb ledges (X button) and crouch under branches (◯ button).
  6. 6
    Sprint after Hugo when he charges the castle. Try the main gates, then squeeze through the gap to the left and head up the stairs.
  7. 7
    Approach the door at the top, and the floor will give way. Make your way across the room and leave through the door.
  8. 8
    Outside, continue through the remains of an outbuilding and drop down a ledge.
  9. 9
    Sprint towards the locked door, climb over a ledge to your right, and run through the opposite door into a storage room.
  10. 10
    Squeeze through a gap on the left and hide in the long grass.
  11. 11
    Wait for the thugs to split up, then use the long grass to move towards the building on your right.
  12. 12
    Sneak over to the building and hop over the door. Leave through the other door and wait for a figure to walk past before squatting behind a wall.
  13. 13
    Unequip your sling (L2 + ↓) and throw a rock into the metal-filled chest to distract the nearest enemy.
  14. 14
    Sneak down the path to the right and enter the long grass. Head towards the wooden structure and crawl underneath.
  15. 15
    Follow the prompt to distract the thug (△ button) and sneak through the gateway.
  16. 16
    Use the long grass to make your way down the slope and hide behind a crate. Grab two pots and throw one behind the enemy to distract him.
  17. 17
    Sneak past the enemy to the gate. Hugo will point out a hole in the wall to the left. Have Hugo go through (L1 + △) to unlock the gate.
  18. 18
    Push the gate open. Head down the path to the pig sty.
  19. 19
    Fend off Remi (▢ button) and stab the other thug with his knife (△ button).
  20. 20
    Follow the red bird down the beach and into a cave. Crawl under a branch and head down the slope towards ruins.
  21. 21
    Follow the bird again, crawl towards the water, and Hugo will wake up.
Tips
