Explore the church

A Plague Tale: Innocence - Amicia and Hugo taking refuge in the church.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once Amicia has killed Conrad in self-defense, she and Hugo take refuge inside the village church. Explore the church but do not go up the ladder yet. There are two things to pick up here.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – In the upper east side of the church, on a table with some candles, you can find Gift 3: Rosary. This is also the first chapter where you need to start collecting the various resources you will need to upgrade your sling and do alchemy.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – After exploring the church completely and picking up the Rosary and Alcohol, climb up this ladder.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once you’ve climbed out of the church through the window by using the ladder, you will meet up with Father Thomas, who urges you to leave, as the church is dangerous. Continue to explore the upper buildings of the churchyard and collect all the goodies you can find.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – In the upper level, you encounter Fabric for the first time. It is a rare resource, as indicated by the blue frame around it. Where have you encountered a rare resource before? That is correct – at Clervie, in her house when you picked up the Leather there. Continue exploring the upper levels of the building, and go down into the yard.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – In this same room where you found the first piece of fabric, you will also collect your first Sulphur. It is not a rare resource, as you can see from the white frame around it. You should always upgrade your pocket first so that you can hold as much rare resources as you can. Although the non-rare ones are also needed, it is not a big deal if you do not have space to collect them all. If you are running out of space for some non-rare resources, you can simply manufacture something that uses that kind of resource when you get an opportunity.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Continue the linear road downstairs to the churchyard and continue exploring. In this section you can find Alcohol again, as well as some Leather. Continue exploring the buildings surrounding the churchyard, and you will find another non-rare resource, Salpeter.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Now enter the churchyard, and Hugo will let go of your hand to collect Herbarium 1: Carnations. Hugo wants to put it in your hair. No move through the garden area and explore the buildings on the other side, surrounding the garden, but do not go deeper into the monastery yet.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – In this section, you will find some Rocks, more rare and non-rare resources. Some Fabric, some Rope and more Sulphur. Now enter the inner churchyard and speak to Father Thomas again.

Follow the priest

A Plague Tale: Innocence – After speaking to the priest outside, he takes you into the church. He says he could help you escape the great danger in the crypt through the area of the three saints. Unfortunately, the light goes out, and Father Thomas is literally devoured by the rats in front of you. Now you’re on your own, and surviving will not be easy. The secret is to always stay in the light, or to distract the rats somehow – more about that later.

Escape the rats

A Plague Tale: Innocence – Descend further into the crypt and continue to stay in the light of the torch. The rates are afraid of the light, so you’re safe for the time being.

A Plague Tale: Innocence – As you turn the corner, you come across the other monk, who has been devoured by the rats, too. At this point, you can’t climb over the obstacle and will have to put the torch in the holder in order to climb over. Luckily, there is light on the other side of the obstacle.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Just after the obstacle, there is a stack of twigs. You can go and pick up one, and light it on a torch against the wall. Please note that twigs burn very fast, and only give you a few seconds to get to the next light source, so be nimble and resourceful!
A Plague Tale: Innocence – When you get close to the twigs, a horde of rats break out of the ground.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Grab your twig, light it against the torch on the wall, and move through the rats until the end of this corridor. There is a spiral staircase and a torch against the wall, so you are safe once again. Climb up the spiral staircase.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – At the top of the staircase, you will see the three saints, signaling you’re near the exit, but alas… Rats block your way, so you need to find a new way. Pick up the goodies in this section. Sulphur, Leather and Fabric

Reach the entrance to the crypt

A Plague Tale: Innocence – After picking up the goodies, you will see this obstacle to your right. Help Hugo over and climb over yourself.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Shoot down the fire pit hanging in the air, that will allow you to walk further down the corridor. There are Rocks and Sulphur to pick up before continuing. You have now reached 8 of 8 Sulphur, so you will now be unable to pick up more until you use some of them, or you upgrade your pocket.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Turn left after the corridor, and them climb up this ladder in the next room. Your path ahead is blocked by rats. Upstairs you can find more Rocks, more Salpeter, and a piece of Leather.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Upstairs, you will see your salvation: A hanging fire pit that you can shoot down with your sling. It will start swinging and make the rats run up and down, giving you periods of time of safety where you can go further. Go back down the ladder and forge ahead.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Be careful to run forward only when there is light from the swinging fire pit. Near the center of the room is a broken grate. Climb through it.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Inside this room you can find Curiosity 5 – Brew. There is also Alcohol, Salpeter, Rope. Now make your way out again to where the swinging fire pit is. Jump back out, and walk ahead together with the light to the spiral staircase, and go up the stairs.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – At the top of the stairs, you find Tools, a workbench and Fabric. Use the workbench to improve your pocket. You can now hold 12 of each type of material instead of 8!
A Plague Tale: Innocence – After upgrading move ahead into a kitchen-like room with a fire to your right. You notice no rats for the time being, but as you step forward, the roof gives in to the left, and the rats are streaming in. You have no torches, what are you going to do? Yes, you’re going to distract the rats, as I mentioned before. Shoot the two hams down with your sling. Now you can pick up some more Rocks, some Salpeter and after walking through the alleyway left by the rats, some Fabric, and some Leather. Next climb over the obstacle to exit that room.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – You will see the three saints again, and you can pick up some Salpeter as well. Open the door at the end of the hallway.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – On the other side of the door is this room. This is a bit tricky. Pick up the Alcohol and climb on top of the table in front of you.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – At the west end of the table you will find Rocks. If you have reached your limit of projectiles (6 rocks at this stage of the game) you will see a red border around it. Pick up the Sulphur next to it. Be careful not to drop off the table, or you’re rat dinner!
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Move to the opposite end of the table and shoot down the ham to distract the rat. If you’re interested in having a full inventory at all times, go back to the other end of the table again and pick up the rocks now. Then back to the other end and jump off the table. You will see a torch through a metal grate.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Move to the wooden beam and interact with it to let Hugo through the grate. The ground will collapse, trapping you on one side while Hugo is on the side of the light. You and Hugo now need to walk at the same speed to get you to the other side without letting the rats devour you.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Walk alongside Hugo to keep yourself safe from the rats. At the end of this section, Hugo will give you the torch so you can get out of this room. Hugo has enough light where he is going for the time being. With the torch, you can now explore the area and pick up some more resources: Rope and Leather
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Put your torch into the holder and climb over this obstacle to continue.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Finally, you will see some daylight! Move down the stairs and hear Hugo scream. Keep going straight until you get to this room below.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Take a twig, light it, and go into the lavatory room on the left. There are some nice resources to take: Salpeter, Leather, Alcohol and Rope. Go back out, light another twig, and forge ahead to light the fire pit in front of you.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – You see Hugo is trapped above you on a platform, because there were rats and he climbed up a ladder. Shoot down the fire pit in the picture above, and make your way to Hugo. Light a stick and go light the pit with embers you have shot down. Next turn to face away from this pit and shoot down the fire pit hanging that side. This enables you to move freely now. Hugo pushes another ember pit down for you, and you can now light a stick at the last light source to get to the other side and light that ember pit as well, so Hugo can climb down the ladder.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Now that the last fire pit is lit, you can pick up the resources here. Some Alcohol, Leather, some Rope as well as some Fabric if you backtrack with a twig a bit.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Now go up the ladder that Hugo came down with and collect the Tools and Sulphur, as well as Curiosity 6: Crusader Tabard. Now go down the ladder again and make your way back to the front of the room. You’ll need to light a twig for this.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once back at the front of the room, light a twig and move to the next room depicted above. On your way, there is some Salpeter to pick up, if you have space in your inventory.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Open the door in front of you, and you will be very close to the three saints.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Pick up the two rolls of Rope here. Skip the workbench, as you do not have enough resources to upgrade your pocket. While you can upgrade something else (pouch), this will cause you to not have a big enough pocket to collect all the rare materials, and may affect your ability to get one of the achievements to do all the equipment upgrades. Climb over the obstacle.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Pick up a twig here, light it, and descend the steps. You’ll find yourself in the rats’ nest.

Leave the monastery

A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once inside the rats’ nest, light the fire pit, and continue on. There is a fire pit further on to light as well.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – After lighting the second fire pit in the rats’ nest, you will get to an obstacle. Climb over it, and be prepared to runnnnnn!
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once you escape from the monastery, Chapter 3: Retribution will end.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – A tender moment between Hugo and Amicia, as they are coming to terms with the fact that they are now orphans.
