A Plague Tale Requiem is a sequel to the sleeper hit A Plague Tale Innocence. In the sequel, we see the return of the de Rune siblings as they struggle to survive in a world that will swallow them whole, all the while trying to help Hugo control his powers of summoning rats at his beck and call. In this guide, we will focus on a small segment in Chapter 10, where Amicia and Hugo must reach the inner courtyard. But how can you do that? Read the guide and we will show you how.

A Plague Tale Requiem – Use Sophia’s Prism & Reach the Inner Courtyard In Chapter 10

When you start off, the whole courtyard is full of rats that will eat Amicia and Hugo if they jump down. Use Amicia’s sling to fire a flaming rock at the campfire in the middle of the courtyard. Sophia will come in and help you by using her prism to reflect light off the fire and walk towards you.

You will jump down and walk with Sophia to get to the campfire.

At the campfire, Sophia tells you that she needs another source of light for her prism to be used. Ahead of you is another campfire. Use your sling again to throw another flaming rock to light it on fire. You will then be able to cross the courtyard and to the second campfire.

After getting to the second campfire, there should be a chest. Open it and get the contents. Now turn around and you should see a stand with some embers still burning at the top. Use your sling and chuck another flaming rock at it to get another area of light. Use Sophia and her prism to cross once again.

After reaching the area of light, the next one can be found behind you. Again, use your sling to shoot the campfire with a flaming rock to create another area of light, then use Sophia’s prism to cross through the horde of rats.

At the campfire, you will notice that there is a fire blocking the way, and the rats are not going anywhere near it. You will have to extinguish the flame to get the rats to go through, granting you passage.

After extinguishing the fire, grab a stick on the side and light it on fire. You will have to go through the horde of rats with the torch in your hand.

Make your way to this area of light near a set of stairs. Hurry before your torch burns out.

Look to the left of the stairs and you will see another light source. Use Sophia’s prism to cross to the other side.

The next step is reaching the Inner Courtyard. Crouch down and sneak through the doorway. Be careful as there is a guard leaning against the wall. Sneak to the doorway at the right side of the room.

Exiting the room, you will see that the trench is on fire and the rats can’t go through. That means you can’t continue either. Just like before, you will need to extinguish the fire and let the rats go forward before you can continue.

Look to your right and you should see a bundle of sticks and a light source. Grab a stick and light it up and use it as a torch.

Make your way to the nearest light source for safety and wait till your torch burns out.

The next part is tricky. You need to light up this light source with a flaming rock. However, a guard will jump down to investigate. Wait until he is done investigating and watch him as he walks back towards the set of stairs in the room.

Just as he climbs up the stairs, you need to hit him in order for him to drop his torch. This will cause the torch to extinguish and the rats will swarm him.

While the rats swarm the guard, you will take the stairs to your left and climb up.

You have to be quick because there is a chance that the rats might follow you, so don’t waste too much time.

Go to the crank and open the gate. This will allow you to get inside the Inner Courtyard.

Go back down to where the guard jumped down to the ground. You will see three guards: one at the other side of the gate and two on the ground. Aim your sling at the guard and extinguish the torch in his hand to get the rats to swarm him.

The second guard on the ground will go to where the last guard got swarmed. Do the same again and extinguish his torch, letting the rats swarm him.

Distract the guard on the other side of the gate and grab a stick. Go down to where you previously were and light the stick on fire to get a torch. Make your way to the opened gate and you should reach a door that leads you to the Inner Courtyard.
