Cross the River

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Keep walking along the path, and optionally let Hugo explore the birds at the pier. Then, when you get to this area, Mélie will “unlock” the door. Nothing to collect up to this point.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Once inside the mill, you can find **Fabric** and **Rocks**. You may be a bit low after slinging the guards in the chapter before, so pick them up. Now continue on and Mélie will tell you that the current is too strong, and you need to make a plan to cross the river.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Here are four items to operate to ensure that the current is slowed enough so that all three children can pass. Let Amicia handle the handle in front of her here by continuously pressing E. With Amicia holding on to the handle, move your mouse to the right. A new item will highlight near the broken axel on the right of this screenshot. Press Q to let Hugo operate that. This will stop the water so that Mélie can cross.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – With Hugo operating the handle down the stairs near the broken axel, send Mélie to operate the item to the north of Amicia in the above picture. Once she is done, Amicia can let go (right click mouse), cross the mill, and operate the handle to the far left to allow Hugo to cross as well (rotate mouse to focus on where Hugo is, and press Z once you have control of your handle).

Reach Mélie’s hideout

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – All the children have safely crossed the stream. In the next area you will see a workbench. This is a good time to upgrade a few things if you have enough materials. At this time, I did not. You can find **Tools**, **Cord**, **Salpeter** and **Rocks** here.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Slingshot the chain holding the wooden panel up, and Mélie and Amicia can go explore the inside of that area, where you will find **Curiosity 13**: **Horseshoe**.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – After collecting the horseshoe and the items you can pick up, interact with this wooden bar (press E). Amicia will kick it, and the children can move forward.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – When getting here, veer off to the right. Explore the area to pick up some **Cord**.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Also in this area, you will find **Herbarium 4**: **Hawthorn**. Do I need to tell you to pick it up? Hope not.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Just after walking past the well, before continuing to follow Mélie, explore this area of the map to the right. You will find a chest containing **Leather** and **Alcohol**.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – When you join Mélie again, Hugo will have one of his incidents. You need to carry him again. Until you reach the hideout, there is nothing else to pick up. Help Mélie open the hideout door, and this objective is complete.

Escape the Inquisition

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – In the second cutscene after reaching the hideout, Mélie will wake Amicia and Hugo. The Inquisition has found them! After the cutscene, the children need to escape the guards. Follow Mélie outside.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – You will run into this guard with a helmet. You can’t knock him out. Mélie will teach you the art of making Devorantis. It makes metal so hot that the guards won’t be able to keep their helmets on. Once they take it off, slingshot them with a rock. Once you crafted some, and took out the guard, you can pick up some **Rocks** here.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Before joining Mélie in the grass ahead, pick up the **Rocks** and **Leather** where you slain the guard. The guards are on patrol for you further down in the forest ahead.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – One of these guards has a helmet, and so do most of the next bunch you will encounter, so either sneak past when you can and want, or use your new combination of Devorantis and Rock as necessary. Here, after eliminating the guards, you can pick up some **Alcohol**, **Rocks** and **Salpeter**.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – The next section can be done stealthy if you wish, but I found it easier to just Kill… Em… All! This way you can get a lot more rare resources, and it is easier to get the collectibles. Once again, like in Chapter 6, I preferred to take them all out first, before going around to collect all the goodies. It’s easier to loot the corpses directly after killing though.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Took about 5 minutes to take out around 10 guards, I’d say. Then here, you can pick up **Curiosity 14**: **Map**. You can also pick up at least (in the greater area, not counting looting of corpses): 3 x **Salpeter**, 3 x **Rocks**, 1 x **Pots**, 2 x **Fabric**, 2 x **Leather**, 2 x **Sulphur**, 2 x **Alcohol** and 1 x **Cord**.

Save Lucas

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – You’ll notice the portcullis is closed. Mélie tells you that there is always a side-entrance. Follow her, and you’ll find **Lucas** under guard. You can take the guard out with Devorantis and a Rock. You can also pick up some items here: **Fabric**, **Alcohol**, **Rocks** and **Salpeter**.

Find the aqueduct

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Once you’ve saved Lucas, you continue on your path, and eventually get here. Nothing to pick up before this moment. Pick up the **Leather**. Now you find **Alchemist Cart 1/5**. But there are also rats. Lucas will teach you about **Luminosa**. Do not use Luminosa much! Only when you have no other choice, as it is expensive, and can influence your ability to complete all upgrades. Craft some and decimate the rats, and enter the cart, where you can upgrade your equipment.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – There is **Salpeter** before entering the cart. Enter the cart now, and upgrade your equipment if you wish. inside the cart, you can also pick up: 2 x **Salpeter**, **Tools**, **Cord** and **Fabric**.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Always be on the lookout for **Alchemist Carts**. There are 5 in the game. They are great sources of materials.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Sling down this ladder. There are **Rocks** to your right, in the unlikely event that you’re out. Then climb the ladder.

Enter the aqueduct

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – You’ll end up at this seemingly dead end. But do not be discouraged…

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – …for Mélie will come to the rescue. Simply enter when she finds the hidden entrance. Keep walking until you find this, and this short objective is complete.

Cross the lake

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Before crossing the lake (pictured above), you need to shooit down the bridge in front of you, and you can pick up **Rocks**, **Salpeter**, **Fabric** and **Leather** in the areas before the pontoon (boat).

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Once Hugo and Amicia gets to the other side of the lake, operate the handle, and once you’ve taken the pontoon back, use Q to tell Mélie and Lucas to get in, then let go. While they are coming to the other side, you can pick up **Salpeter**, **Cord** and **Rocks**. When your friends are across the lake, the objective is complete.

Find the castle

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Mélie will make short work of this door. Go through it and explore. Rats! Lucas will light a fire pit once inside. You need to now use the brazier to drive the rats into the pit. Go upstairs to your right, interact with the handle of the brazier and move it to the opposite end of the lane – watch the rats fall into the pit.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – With the first lot of rats trapped in the pit, you now need to reach Mélie. Climb down the ladder, and you will help each other up the platform while the boys explore elsewhere. Before you go though, there are some things you can pick up: **Fabric**, **Sulphur** and **Rocks**. on the other side you can find **Cord** and **Salpeter** as well as **Rocks** and **Alcohol**.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Mélie and Amicia must now push this bridge down to get to the other side. Interact with it as you did at the pontoon with the handles. Once over the drawbridge, Mélie will pick the lock of the gate, while Amicia needs to light the brazier and drive the rest of the rats into the pit with it. Just like before. Now go back over the drawbridge and follow Mélie and Lucas.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – In front of you, after climbing down the ladder, you’ll meet up with your friends.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Through this archway in front of you, there will be one more door for Amicia and Mélie to open.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – At this point, the objective is complete. Go up the stairs to Amicia’s left to continue your journey.

Reach the castle

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – At the top of the stairs, you will see rats down below. Before attempting to go there, veer off to Amicia’s left.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – After Mélie opens the door for Amicia, collect **Salpeter** and **Gift 7:** **Vinegar**. Now join Lucas again at the rats.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Lightning will strike, and the orphans will notice that the rats go in hiding when that happens. Time it well, and you can simply run through this section. Once through this first patch of rats, you can pick up **Alcohol** and 2 x **Sulphur** and **Rocks** You’ll get to the next patch of rats.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – This section is tricky the first time around. You need to run when the lightning strikes, then light the haystack in the upper part of this screenshot, and run again when the lightning strikes again. You can pick up **Alcohol** and **Rocks** at the haystack if you’re fast. After running for the second time, you’ll see another haystack. Light it, and climb over the obstacle. Safe for now.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Finally, the kids have arrived at their new home’s door! Crouch through the opening in the door.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – In front of you is a pit full of rats, and to your right is a brazier that is unlit. Let Mélie open the door to your back-right, and go up the stairs.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Lucas will light the brazier, and you and Mélie will forge on. Grab the handle of the brazier and move it to the other side. You can pick up **Alcohol** and **Rocks** here, too. Now the objective is complete.

Reach the living quarters

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Once down the ladder on the other side, take a twig, and light it in the brazier, then go forward and light the next brazier.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – The next brazier is near the ladder here. With the lit twig, you can easily get there.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – With the rats in front, and Amicia safely in the light, climb the ladder. This objective is now complete.

Repel the rats into the pit

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Operate the handle to Amicia’s right once Amicia went up the ladder. That will repel the rats into the pat with their pals.

Reach the living quarters

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – When the rats are in the pit, let go of the brazier. This objective is now complete, and Mélie will come to Amicia. The two of them need to push this bridge down. Follow Mélie to the other side.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Pick up **Alcohol** and **Rocks**. The light the brazier below, and climb down the ladder. Start walking slowly once you’re down. Mélie will follow you with the brazier when you press Q.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – When the brazier stops, light the next brazier in front of Amicia as well as the next one, and get up onto the ramparts left ahead of Amicia.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – With both braziers lit, Amicia can now get up onto the ramparts.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Once up the ramparts, you can pick up a few items, **Alcohol**, **Fabric** and **Sulphur**. There are also **Rocks** and a chest that contains **Tools** and **Cord**, then operate the handle. This ends the objective and start the next one.

Repel all the rats into the pit

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Once the brazier is on the other side, tell Mélie to let go on her side, and the rats will be in the pit. But there is more. Some rats did not go yet. Move the brazier back, and go down the ramparts again to meet up with Mélie where she is waiting and climb up onto the living quarters in front of you.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – At the top, lower the drawbridge with Mélie, then go down again. Mélie will cover you with the brazier, so you can get to the far end of the walkway. You can pick up some more **Salpeter**, **Rocks** and **Sulphur**.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – When you reach the end, you can pick up **Sulphur**, **Alcohol** and **Rocks**.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – Light the brazier in front of you, and grab a twig and light it.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – With your lit twig, move through the rats and light the torch visible ahead, then climb the ladder next to it. At the top of the ladder you can pick up **Rocks** and **Fabric** before operating the brazier.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – When done here, go back to the ramparts from before, where the paint is on the wall. Operate that brazier, the Mélie will let go of her brazier, and all the rats will be driven into the pit.

**A Plague Tale: Innocence** – With all the rats repelled, **Chapter 7: The Path Before Us** will end.
