Join Sir Galahad in The Order: 1886's Prologue, 'Once a Knight.' This walkthrough guides you through QTEs, combat, and early exploration as you uncover the game's secrets.
Alright, let's get started with 'The Order: 1886'! We're kicking things off with the Prologue, titled 'Once a Knight.' First things first, settle in and watch the opening cinematic from the protagonist's point of view. It sets the mood, and you'll see some pretty intense stuff. Keep watching until you get to the second 'bath' scene. During this, a support rod will come loose, and you'll be thrown into your first Quick-Time Event (QTE). You'll need to hit Triangle. Don't worry, this game has a few of these, so get ready!
Right after that, get ready to mash the X button. Once the immediate danger passes, you'll need to hold down the Triangle button. Think of these as the game's way of showing you the basic button prompts you'll be using throughout your adventure.
Once you're free and regain control for the first time, you'll be taught how to scurry, which is basically sprinting. You'll see a prompt for R3 to do this, though you won't be able to sprint much right now. Head towards the door at the end of the hall. Inside, you'll find a gun, but unfortunately, it's empty. Bummer. Head back outside and break open the locked gate to your left, then go through it.
You'll then witness a scene with a Half-breed. After that, you'll find yourself with a hostage. Keep your aim on him using L2 and approach him. After watching another scene, get ready for more QTEs: you'll need to mash X and then hit Square.
This Prologue is packed with QTEs, so it's a good idea to get the hang of them now. You'll encounter a new type of QTE called a 'Turning Point.' This is where the action slows down significantly, giving you a chance to survey the scene and 'assess the situation.' In this specific instance, the fight will slow down, and you'll have the opportunity to punch the guard's head before he can hit you. To do this, you'll need to use the cursor to select the action. Aim for the man's head and hit Square to continue. After that, there are two more sequences where you'll need to mash X before you can use Triangle to go through the door.
Watch the final scene, and then hold the button prompt that appears on screen to successfully end the Prologue.
