A Plague Tale Requiem is a beautiful game. You can appreciate the love and care the developers have put in this world when you see it. The graphical fidelity of the game is also great. Not exactly breaking any barriers, but it’s enough to make you go “wow, that is next gen”. In the day, you can see everything and its beauty. However, when it’s dark, it is hard to see. In Chapter 4, you have to find the Order’s boat, but it’s so hard to see! In this guide, we show you how you can find the Order’s boat.
A Plague Tale Requiem – Find the Order’s Boat in Chapter
When starting the chapter, you have to go through some buildings. Eventually, you will enter a garrison for soldiers. A guard will be blocking the stairs up. Throw a rock at the box full of steel to distract the guard and go up the stairs.
At the top of the stairs, approach this stack of planks and lift it up so you can go through it.
As you progress, you will eventually stumble on some guards. Not long after, a swarm of rats will slam through the gates and eat anything it comes across. Luckily, you and Lucas are standing in the light, so you are safe. However, now you can’t cross due to the rats. Lucas tells you to throw an Ignifer at the ground where the Tar is. Do that, and you will clear the area long enough to walk around the rats.
After crossing the rats, you will see another light source. Next to that lights source is a cart with some ember on it. Throw an Ignifer and the light will push the rats back, enough for you to continue.
Approach the so you can Lucas can push it to the next light source.
After pushing the cart and continuing onwards, you should see a dead body hanging on a post. Knock the dead body down and use Extinguis to put out the fire next to it. This will make the rats swarm the body, giving you enough time to move to the door to the left and get inside the building.
Inside the building, you will eventually have rats break in. Look around until you see some bars blocking your path. Use regular rocks to break the lock that’s locking the door. Go back to where you entered and go through the door.
Once inside, use the crank to get the platform closer so Lucas can get on board the platform.
Go back to the area where the rats entered and wait until Lucas pours tar into the water below. Use Ignifer to light up the water and you can safely pass by the rats.
After cross to the other side of the pit, you will see that there are more pits. However, no more tars. Lucas will instead throw you Tar to use and put in a pot. Throw it into the pit of water and use Ignifer to make fire. Do this again when you make it to the next pool.
You will eventually reunite with Lucas and both of you will exit the building. Go through the alley and continue onwards.
The two will chat until you find a plank covering a narrow passageway. Lift the plank up and shimmy through the narrow path.
You will eventually see Joseph’s ship, which is the Order’s boat. However, you need to do one last puzzle section here. You will need to get the diluent to you, but something is blocking its way.
You will see a soldier stuck on the other side of the dock. You will cooperate with him in order to escape. Use your sling to shoot a rock at the chains that is keeping the bridge up.
The soldier will then get the diluent to you, which you will need to pour into the body of water below. Throw an Ignifer in the water and the rats will dissipate.
The soldier will then bring the diluent to the next pool of water, which you will then pour with tar again and set on fire.
Another gate will block the diluent’s path. Use the crank to lift up the gate and have Lucas move the diluent while you hold the gate open.
At the last basin of water, fill it up with tar and throw an Ignifer in it.
The path is now clear to the boat, but a horde of rats are still preventing Lucas from continuing. Use your Tar and throw it at the first basin of fire, which will amplify the light and scare away more rats.
At the last blockade, you have to open up the gate again to let Lucas through.
Before continuing, you have to help the soldier one last time. Use your rock to break the chain that is holding the bridge up.
Alas, the soldier will stop you from getting on the boat. You could use Etinguis to put out the fire on his torch, but there is another way that will earn you an achievement. Use Ignifer and hit the soldier, then follow it up with Tar and hit the torch. The Ignifer will stun him while the Tar will blind him, as well as keep the rats away. You will also get the Mercy achievement.
While the soldier is blinded, run up the stairs and through the door. Go through the door on the other side and you will get a cutscene where you have successfully reached the boat.
