Explore the Church

Amicia and Hugo managed to take refuge inside the village’s church and are now closer to Laurentius. Let’s start by picking up a collectible (Gift 3 – Rosary) that you can find on the right of the altar at the end of the right aisle. Then retrace your steps to climb a ladder.

In the churchyard a priest encourages us to leave the place as it lurks dangers. Nevertheless, Amicia is stubborn and wants to continue looking for Laurentius. Make your way around the roof and into a shattered dormitory. There are some handy materials here.

Continue down the only available path until you reach the churchyard. Here Hugo will approach a flower, thereby introducing a new collectible strand, Hugo’s Herbariums. Pick up the collectible (Herbarium 1 – Carnations) and continue on.

Amicia and Hugo meet with the Priest, begging to be helped and told where they can find Laurentius. To get to him, they need to get across the dungeons of the church.

Follow the Priest

Walk with the Priest. Soon after you will find out the reason why the priest was so adamant about leaving the church. In fact, the church is infested with rats which literally devour the priest as the light of the crypt’s candles goes out. The key to surviving rats in the game is fire.

Escape the Rats

With the torch in your hand, scare the rats away as you descend into the crypt. Place the torch in the mounting spot and help Hugo up the barricade.

To progress, burn a stick and progress through the corridor. Remember that wood sticks only burn for a few moments, so make it count. You can drop your stick and put it out by pressing :circle:. Be careful not to be amidst rats when you do so.

Reach the Entrance to the Crypt

The main entrance to the crypt is blocked by a horde of rats, so we need to find another way in. Climb the wooden fence that’s protected by light and enter the corridor.

To scare the rats away, use a stone to drop the chandelier from the ceiling.

In the new room, climb the ladder and throw a stone to one of the chandelier’s chains to create a light swing. You will have to use the chandelier as it swings to make it across in one piece.

Before running across the room, take a sharp right into an alcove in the wall. Here you will find a collectible (Curiosity 5 – Brew).

After picking up the collectible, continue down the linear path and go up the spiral set of stairs. You will end up in a kitchen where a new horde of rats is awaiting you. Shoot the hanging hams to attract rats to them and then make your way across the room.

Help Hugo and yourself over the fence and unlock the door in front of you. Stock up on crafting materials here and climb the wooden table to create a pathway. Bring down the ham to distract the rats and lift the wooden beams to create a nook for Hugo to crawl under.

To make it across the room, Hugo will use the torch to shine light on the rats in your path. Your job is to stay within the shone area. Then, Hugo will give Amicia the torch.

Place the torch on the mounting spot near the barricade and climb over to walk down some stairs.

Here, grab a stick, flame it and light the brazier in the next room.

Now look up where Hugo is to find two chandeliers you can slingshot down, one is lit, the other isn’t. Grab a stick from the nearby stack and go light the one that is not.

Now, go back to grab yet another stick, but this time light it using the brazier you’ve just lit. With that, approach the brazier Hugo dropped down and light it yourself.

After the brazier is lit, Hugo will come down the ladder, but before moving on there’s a collectible (Curiosity 6 – Crusader Tabard) that we need to pick up. Climb the ladder Hugo came down from. The collectible is in a wooden crate next to some roof tiles.

Now, go back down and light a stick to safely reach a new door Amicia needs to unlock. Climb the barricade and we’ve finally reached the entrance to the crypt. It’s time to escape the monastery now.

Escape the Monastery

Grab a stick from the stairs, light it using the nearby torch and make your way across the corridor through the rats. As you reach its end, you’ll find a brazier. Quickly light it with whatever’s left from the stick and continue down the path after lighting a new stick.
