Follow Mélie

A Plague Tale: Innocence – Right at the start of this chapter, you need to pick up Herbarium 6: Lavender. It is just behind the tree on the far left of this screen.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – As you enter the town, you encounter a thief that was caught and killed. Ask Mélie to open this door. After opening the door, Mélie will go her own way, to rescue Arthur, and Amicia will continue on her way to the university.

Find the university

A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once you are inside, climb the first set of stairs, and keep left, and go into this corner. You can find a few items here: Alcohol, Salpeter and Sulphur. Now go down from there again and go up the spiral staircase in front of you, and out the door to the rooftop.

Reach the university

A Plague Tale: Innocence – After jumping off the wall opening shown to the right, go forward into the doorway to Amicia’s north.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Wait for the guards to leave, and continue crouching forward.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Keep left when down the stairs. Under this wooden structure are Salpeter, Rocks and a chest with Fabric, Cord and Alcohol.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – There is nothing to collect near the guard on the left. There are Rocks and Sulphur in the center. Move quietly to the lighted area to the right.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – This part is tricky to do cheaply. You need to light the torch, and shoot out this guard’s lantern far enough from the lantern so that the rats will devour him. It might be easier to use Devorantis and rock to take him out. Your choice. Once done, light the torch. When you are around this obstacle, there is Alcohol to the left, and twigs to the right. Light a twig and move through the rats.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – When Amicia has passed the rats, there is a Pot, but your inventory might already be full. To the left of this barricade, you can sneak past the rats. Jump over a high obstacle to continue the journey.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – To the left of this section are two guards. Crouch, be quiet. There is Leather in front of Amica here, and a Pot, some Rocks and Fabric on the cart. To the right of the helmets in front are twigs. Once the guards finished talking, you can take the remaining one out with Devorantis and a rock. Get the twig, light it and move on.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once through the rats (there is Sulphur on the bend midway), walk to this lantern to be safe. Further north is a dead end, but you can pick up Salpeter and Alcohol there, then take the ally that is to the right of Amicia on this screen.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Climb over an obstacle, and take the Rocks here, and continue to move on. Nearby, over the fence in front (accessed from the boardwalk) there are also Alcohol, Sulphur and Salpeter. Continue to move forward and down a ladder.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Go left there after the ladder and you’ll find Cord, Sulphur and Salpeter. You also need a twig to light against the lantern if you’re up to going into a swarm of rats for some extra items. I am assuming you are. Light the twig, and move into the rats.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Keep left, and shortly after turning the corner, on the left, you can light a torch with the last bit of light of your twig.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Open the chest, and take the Alcohol, Tools and Leather, and take and light another twig to make your way back to where you came from, as shown below.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Go through this archway and drop down to the bottom.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Keep going, and Amicia will get to this scene. Enter the door in front of Amicia.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Inside the house, you need to distract some rats. Shoot down the corpse. It will attract the brute outside. Shoot out his lantern the moment he enters the door and let the rats devour him. You only need a little bit of space where there are no rats. There are Rocks and Sulphur nearby.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – This is enough space to pass through, as long as you’re careful. Get to the chest to Amicia’s left, and open it to find Curiosity 17: Sheepskin, Leather and Salpeter. The door is locked or inaccessible due to rats (depending on where the guard fell), so backtrack and go up the stairs to pick up 2 x Fabric, and exit the door here.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Amicia is met by a gruesome scene. Warning: the next bit is particularly gross. But I guess that’s the game. Move down the stairs quietly, and pick up Salpeter and Sulphur around the corner on the left, once you’ve descended.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Jump over this fence for some Cord, and then continue on.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – At this point, Amicia has to do the unthinkable. She needs to shoot down two corpses, so to distract the rats and crawl underneath the gallows. Once the corpses are shot down, crawl into the hole in front of Amica, and try not to look! …but pick up the Pot and Alcohol if you need them. Now crawl back out from under the gallows.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Amicia will get to this area with a lone guard protecting it. Easiest is Devorantis and rock. Once disposed of, light the lantern straight ahead and climb over the fence and up to where the guard was. Pick up Rocks, Cord and Salpeter. There is also a Pot. And, you need a twig, but do not light it yet.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Time to go back under the gallows. Keep left. Take the Alcohol and Rocks, and move out of the gallows straight ahead on Amicia’s left. Once outside of the gallows, there are 2 x Pots, that you will not need. Light your twig on the lantern nearby, and move to the lantern at the back and light it.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – With the lantern lit, open the chest to find Fabric, Sulphur and Alcohol. Take a twig, light it, and move back to whence you came.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Move forward, and take this guy out. Devorantis and rock for the win! Now light the lantern in front of you with Ignifer and jump over the obstacle. There are only a Pot and some Rocks here, which you probably have enough of, so move through the arch where the guard stood, and crouch underneath the barricade.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Shortly after the barricade, on a cart, you can pick up Alcohol and Sulphur. Move along.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Amicia will get to the cemetery. But the gate is locked, so she needs to find another way. Go right here.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Here, Amicia must operate the light to the right first, to pick up Alcohol and Sulphur, if you need it. Then to the left to make a way for you to the door ahead. Hint: If you have full inventory, simply craft some of the general use items, such as Ignifer and Devorantis.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Inside the house Amicia can use the workbench to upgrade her equipment. There are also items to pickup: Leather, Rocks, Tools and Sulphur. Now climb the ladder at the opposite side of the room.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Operate this light beam to let the rats devour the guard, then operate it again to right in front of the opening ahead, then move right to pick up Alcohol and Salpeter.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Jump over the obstacle, and Amicia will see a window. Operate the beam to make a clearing for you to jump over and get to it, then watch the cutscene and exit by the window.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Go through the opening ahead of Amicia, and pick up Sulphur and Rocks behind the left pillar and Alcohol and Leather straight ahead.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Light the torch inside the hole of rats, and go down into the hole. Here you will find your first Episanguis, and can now make Odoris, as explained by the Magister in the cutscene before. Inside the hole is also Alcohol and Rocks.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once Amicia crafted some Odoris, throw one toward the left of the nest straight ahead, away from the obstacle Amicia can climb on. Amicia must then run and climb up before the effects of the Odoris wears off.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – With the discovery of Episanguis and thus Odoris, Amicia’s equipment can now be upgraded further to better provide for alchemy.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Quickly throw an Odoris here, and run to the light in the distance before the effects wear off. Slightly forward after that light source, Amicia can pick up some Rocks, Sulphur and Fabric.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Throw Odoris here, and quickly jump down and run to the light beam below. Amicia will comment that the ground has collapsed and that she would need to find a way to hoist herself up the back wall. Pick up 2 x Episanguis. Operate the light to shine straight ahead so that you can climb up the small hill to the right of the small crypt at the exit.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once in this area, Amicia will notice a cart she can use to help her climb up the back wall. She can also pick up some Rocks, Alcohol and Sulphur.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – To Amicia’s back from the shot before this one, Amicia can throw an Odoris here, and if she is quick, can pick up some Alcohol, Fabric and Episanguis. Rush back quickly to avoid being devoured by rats.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Operate the light as shown. This gives you enough space to pick up some more Episanguis. Now operate the light again. Move it as far right as it will go, then start moving it left until it reaches the right post of the open grate on the right.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Let go when the light gets here on the return from far right to ensure all rats are trapped inside there. Now throw Odoris again where you did before and trap the raps permanently with the light.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Bye bye, suckers! Now go through the open gate, but before taking the cart down, pick up some Salpeter and climb over the little wall. You need to pick up a collectible.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Just over the little wall (now on your left) you will see the collectible on your right in the broken tomb. Go ahead and pick up Curiosity 18: Piece of Transis. Then head back to the crate and operate it out of the gate and down the slope.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once the cart reaches the slope, it will indiscreetly fall down to the bottom. Now go down, operate it again to get to the wall at the back to climb up.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Now that Amicia is out of the cemetery, she can pick up a few items here before moving on: Rocks, Sulphur and Cord. Follow the path and climb over the obstacle.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Amicia will notice that the sick have been slaughtered. Soldier on, and a man will tell Amicia that they unleashed the rats on the sick.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – When Amicia gets here, there is Episanguis, Sulphur and Rocks to pick up. Then move along.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Shoot some Odoris at this unsuspecting fellow to attract the rats blocking your path to him.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – You have very little space to navigate here, but it is enough to quickly run through tight against the wall. It is not required, but you do get some good items in this alcove: Fabric, and inside a chest, Tools and Cord. Now run tight against the wall back past the rats and continue on the path you cleared by luring the rats to the guard.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Crouch underneath a barricade and pick up some Episanguis here. When the guard turns his back on you, move forward.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Stop behind the barricade and the guard facing away from Amicia, then throw a stone to the helmets to Amicia’s left. The guard will go there to investigate. Throw some Odoris there on him, but not too close to the bridge.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – With the guard decimated by rats, Amicia can move, and pick up Rocks, Alcohol, Salpeter, Sulphur, Episanguis, Cord and Leather before crossing the little bridge.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – The next section has two guards, so it is easier to take the first one out from this side. If the other one comes across the bridge to get you, use Devorantis and rock to take him out. If not, do that anyway, but you’ll have to take the battle to him then .
A Plague Tale: Innocence – With the guards gone, pick up Leather, Episanguis and a Pot if you need it. Before operating the light beam, take the ally to the left and scale the wall.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Amicia will notice the second Alchemist cart, but her path is blocked by rats. Craft a Luminosa and decimate them, then jump over all obstacles and enter the Alchemist Cart 2/5. In the area of the cart, she can also pick up 2 x Episanguis. Inside the cart is Salpeter, Rocks, Sulphur, Leather and Alcohol.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Go back to where the guards were by climbing back over the three walls, and then operate this light beam. Move it far right, then throw Odoris in the ally to the left, then operate the light left again to trap the rats, same as Amicia did in the cemetery, then climb over the far north barricade shown above.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Bye bye, suckers! Once over the barricade, Amicia will witness another gruesome event. Be warned.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – A dying man will drink from the filthy water trough with corpses in it and blow out his last breath. To Amicia’s right here, are Sulphur, Alcohol, Salpeter and Episanguis.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – If Amicia now keeps following the path, she will see the university ahead of her. There are guards she needs to dispose of first.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Shoot down this cage, and the rats will get rid of two of the guards. The guard to the right with the helmet and light, is easy to take down: Fire in quick succession: Devorantis at helmet, rock at lantern, rock at head. Down the stairs to Amicia’s right, pick up Rocks. Keep exploring the immediate safe area and pick up: Rocks, Sulphur, Alcohol, Episanguis, Salpeter and a chest with Leather, Cord and Fabric.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – There is a guard here in front of you. Oops… Was. Devorantis and rock did the trick. There is Episanguis to the deceased guard’s right.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – Dispose of this guard with Devorantis and rock, and the bottom area is clear. Pick up more Salpeter, Episanguis, Sulphur, Alcohol and Rocks. Climb the stairs, and the objective is complete.

Enter the university

A Plague Tale: Innocence – Once up the stairs, wait for the two guards to walk past, then crouch towards the light ahead of Amicia. Then face back, and kill both guards quickly: Devorantis at helmet, rock at guard without helmet, and rock at previously helmeted guard. Easy-peasy. Explore where the guards were, and pick up Salpeter, Alcohol and Gift 9: Chessboard.
A Plague Tale: Innocence – There are two ways into the university. The easy way is to your right. The hard way, also the name of the trophy you’ll earn when doing it this way, is to take out the two helmeted guards in the top left. I opted for that: Devorantis, Devorantis, Rock, Rock; in quick succession. Once you enter the university through either entrance, Chapter 9: In the Shadows of Ramparts will end.
