Find Hugo in Chapter 16 of A Plague Tale: Requiem. Collect a Carnation, gather Pieces and a Tool, and face the Macula.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As Amicia, thank the others and enter a nearby building to find a workbench, a chest with materials, two bags of Pieces, and a Tool.
  2. 2
    Go up the steps and pick the Carnation flower (5/5) to potentially unlock the Herbalist trophy.
  3. 3
    Enter the next building where rats will destroy it, causing Amicia and Sophia to fall. Sophia is injured, so Amicia must proceed alone.
  4. 4
    Exit through the door and wait for rat waves to pass on the beach before sprinting to the building in front of you.
  5. 5
    Wait for more rat waves and sprint to the ruins on your left.
  6. 6
    Wait for another wave and sprint towards the wall ahead.
  7. 7
    When the next wave destroys the gate, run to a fourth piece of wall further down the beach.
  8. 8
    Repeat this process two more times to reach a section of wall with debris to move aside and squeeze through.
  9. 9
    Stay between the walls until the next wave passes, then run to a bridge.
  10. 10
    Climb over a ledge and proceed to the end of the bridge.
  11. 11
    Drop down the ledge.
  12. 12
    Make your way through the ruined church ahead and head down the slope until you find a phoenix statue.
  13. 13
    Follow the direction the statue is pointing to find a second statue.
  14. 14
    Continue following the statues until Hugo speaks telepathically, revealing the birds are a lie.
  15. 15
    Turn around and go in the opposite direction the birds were facing.
  16. 16
    As the Nebula thickens, rats will advance. Use Extinguis on a brazier to surrender, changing the landscape to Hugo's presence.
  17. 17
    Head towards the distant doorway while the children talk.
  18. 18
    As you approach people on the other side, the ground will blacken and they will die. Hugo reveals he is the Macula and Amicia must stop him.
  19. 19
    Head through another doorway where Hugo disappears.
  20. 20
    Head towards the glowing object in the distance. Lucas will catch up, and you will find yourselves near the heart of the Nebula.
  21. 21
    Make your way to the structure; the rats will not bother you.
  22. 22
    Aim your sling at Hugo and fire to end the chapter.
Tips
  • The Carnation flower is the fifth and final one needed for the Herbalist trophy.
  • When facing the rat waves on the beach, use the environment for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and time your sprints carefully.
  • The phoenix statues are a misleading path; Hugo reveals they are not the true way forward.
  • Surrendering to the rats using Extinguis on a brazier is a way to progress the narrative when direct confrontation is not possible.
  • Hugo states that Amicia must stop him to stop the Macula.
