A Plague Tale: Requiem

Unlock Details

Open all 10 secret chests scattered throughout A Plague Tale: Requiem. These chests contain valuable upgrade materials and can only be opened using knives. Unlike ordinary supply chests, secret chests are large, locked containers that consume one knife when opened. Knives are relatively rare, so avoid using them against enemies unless absolutely necessary. Secret chests appear between Chapters 3 and 13. There is no in-game list showing which individual chests you've opened, so keeping track of them as you progress is highly recommended. Here are all 10 secret chest locations, including where to find the knives needed to open them. 1. Secret Chest 1 – Chapter 3: A Burden of Blood (The Warehouse) Near the end of Chapter 3, you'll enter a large warehouse containing a wooden cart suspended from the ceiling. Look toward the opposite end of the warehouse to find the hanging cart. The secret chest is sitting on the ground directly beneath it. Before approaching the chest, look around the nearby storage area for a small wooden box containing a knife. When you're facing the secret chest, turn around to spot the box. Collect the knife, return to the chest, and open it. This first chest introduces the importance of saving knives for collectibles rather than using them during combat. 2. Secret Chest 2 – Chapter 4: Protector's Duty (Risky Itinerary) During Chapter 4, you'll reach a large wooden gate guarded by two soldiers patrolling nearby. Before passing through the gate, look for a knife embedded in the wooden structure that provides cover near the guards. There's also another knife accessible through an opening in the wall on the left. Pick up a knife before proceeding. After passing through the gate, you'll enter an area filled with rats and discover a large brazier mounted on a movable cart. Light the brazier to create a safe area, then push the cart toward the wooden wall with a ladder leaning against it. Climb the ladder to reach the elevated platform containing the secret chest. Use your knife to open it. Warning: The knife near the guards may not appear on Hard difficulty. If you're struggling to find knives, switch to an easier difficulty where possible before continuing. 3. Secret Chest 3 – Chapter 5: In Our Wake (Bridge Under Construction) During Chapter 5, you'll use a chain mechanism to cross a river while helping the boat move farther downstream. After reaching the other side, use your sling to break the chain holding the boat back. The snapping chain will damage the wooden shed you're standing inside, destroying part of its structure. Exit the shed and walk around to the back of the building. Look for a narrow opening in the wooden fence and squeeze through it. Once inside, climb the nearby ladder to reach the secret chest. If you don't have a knife, search the area beside the shed for some logs and tree stumps. A knife can be found nearby.

Tip

Save your knives for secret chests instead of using them against enemies. Several chapters contain knives specifically positioned near chest locations, so collect them whenever possible and avoid recycling them. If you miss a chest, use chapter select on your original save to return to its location. It's best to collect all 10 before starting New Game+, especially since certain knives can be harder to obtain on higher difficulties.

Warning

Secret chest progress does not carry over to New Game+. If you haven't opened all 10 chests, you'll need to finish the remaining ones through chapter select on your original save or open all 10 again in New Game+. Some knives also disappear on Hard difficulty and New Game+, making certain chests more difficult to access. On your original save, lowering the difficulty can restore those knives. Complete Explorer before starting New Game+ whenever possible. That will be our standard going forward: one Tip, one Warning, no repeated advice, and no loss of important information. Simple trophies may have neither, while complicated trophies can have longer sections when necessary.

Find all 5 flowers hidden throughout A Plague Tale: Requiem. Flowers are part of Hugo's Collection and can be found in Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 16. You can check which flowers you've collected by opening the Codex and selecting Hugo's Collection. Each flower has its own name, making it easier to identify anything you're missing. Here are all 5 flower locations: 1. Arrowhead – Chapter 2: Newcomers (Ignifer) Near the end of Chapter 2, Amicia and Lucas will escape the underground section of the arena using a large lift. Continue through the abandoned settlement until you reach a small vegetable garden. Lucas will notice something interesting and walk toward a flower growing nearby. Approach him and interact with the Arrowhead to collect it. This flower is particularly easy to find because Lucas practically does the searching for you. 2. Chamomile – Chapter 3: A Burden of Blood (At the Edge of the City) When you reach the Herbalist's house, don't rush inside. Instead, explore the area to the left of the building. Look for a large tree with a hanging basket suspended from one of its branches. Use your sling to shoot the attachment holding the basket in place. Once it falls, approach the basket and collect the Chamomile flower. 3. Gentian – Chapter 4: Protector's Duty (Night Work) After traveling through the underground passages, Amicia and Lucas will emerge onto a beach overlooking a busy harbor filled with boats. Instead of following the main route toward the harbor, turn right and walk along the shoreline. Keep an eye on the grassy area beside the beach. You'll discover the purple Gentian flower growing near the vegetation. Collect it before continuing toward your objective. 4. Anemone – Chapter 5: In Our Wake (Bridge Under Construction) After using the chain mechanism to help the boat travel downstream, you'll eventually reach a massive bridge that's still under construction. Before continuing beneath the bridge, look upward for a wooden walkway hanging vertically from a chain. Use your sling to shoot the chain's attachment, allowing the walkway to drop into position. Next, locate the nearby movable cart and push it toward the ledge beneath the walkway. Climb onto the cart, cross the wooden platform, and follow the rocky path upward. At the top of the cliff, beside a tree overlooking the bridge, you'll find the Anemone flower. This is probably the easiest flower to overlook because its location requires you to explore above the normal route. 5. Carnation – Chapter 16: King Hugo (Marseille) The final flower appears near the beginning of Chapter 16. Follow Lucas along the main path until you cross a small bridge. Shortly afterward, he'll move toward a flower growing beside the path on the left. Approach the flower and interact with it to collect the Carnation. If you've collected the previous four flowers, the Herbalist trophy will unlock.

Tip

Check Hugo's Collection in the Codex before starting New Game+ to identify any missing flowers. You can use chapter select on your completed save to return to their locations without replaying the entire story.

Warning

Flowers can be missed during normal progression, but none are permanently lost. Chapter select becomes available after finishing the story, allowing you to recover anything you overlooked.

Find all 21 souvenirs throughout A Plague Tale: Requiem. Souvenirs are special interactions scattered across the story that capture memorable moments between Amicia and her companions. Unlike flowers and feathers, souvenirs aren't objects you simply pick up. Some involve conversations, examining unusual objects, or participating in small activities. You can check your progress by opening the Codex and selecting the Souvenirs section. Each souvenir has a unique name, making it easier to identify anything you've missed. There are 21 souvenirs spread across Chapters 2–13, with none appearing in Chapters 1, 12, or 14–17. Here are all 21 souvenir locations, including their chapter sections and the steps needed to collect them. 1. Best Player – Chapter 2: Newcomers (Arrival in the Town) Near the beginning of Chapter 2, Amicia and Lucas will explore a lively marketplace filled with merchants and townspeople. Continue through the market until you pass a woman selling flowers. Instead of following the main route, turn right into an alley containing additional merchant stalls. Follow the alley to its end, where you'll find a man operating a small game with four pots arranged on his stall. Approach the merchant and participate in his game. Completing the activity unlocks the Best Player souvenir. 2. Be at Peace – Chapter 2: Newcomers (Confrontation in the Stands) After entering the coliseum, you'll make your way through an enemy encounter before passing through a metal door. Continue forward until you reach an area containing several sick people. During this section, Amicia will comment to Lucas that people once lived here. Shortly afterward, you'll encounter a staircase that splits into two directions. Take the staircase on the right rather than following the alternative route. At the top, you'll discover a sick woman lying on the ground. Approach her and interact with her to unlock the Be at Peace souvenir. 3. A Grave – Chapter 3: A Burden of Blood (The Gate) After leaving the city, Amicia and Lucas will travel along a path leading toward several houses. Look for a house on the right with a small front yard enclosed by a wooden fence. The front gate is locked, so walk around the side of the building until you have a clear view of the gate's locking mechanism. Use your sling to break the lock and open the entrance. Return to the front of the house, enter the yard, and approach the grave. Interact with it to collect the A Grave souvenir. 4. Our Home – Chapter 3: A Burden of Blood (The Warehouse) Near the end of Chapter 3, you'll enter a large warehouse filled with wooden platforms, storage areas, and suspended equipment. Explore the warehouse's upper level and look for a wooden platform being held in position by a rope. Use your sling to shoot the rope, causing the platform to fall into place. This creates a route to an otherwise inaccessible area. Climb the nearby ladder and make your way across the platform. You'll eventually reach a table containing a map. Examine the map to unlock the Our Home souvenir. 5. Silk Treasure – Chapter 4: Protector's Duty (Night Work) During the early portion of Chapter 4, Amicia and Lucas will encounter soldiers arguing over jars. To avoid being spotted, you'll need to move along an elevated wooden walkway while the soldiers remain below. As you travel across the walkway, keep an eye on the left side for a small opening in the wall. Crouch through the opening to enter a hidden room. Inside, you'll discover a movable cart. Push the cart into position beneath the elevated platform, then climb onto it to reach the upper level. You'll find a collection of silk fabrics waiting there. Interact with the silk to unlock the Silk Treasure souvenir. 6. A Grain of Sand – Chapter 4: Protector's Duty (The Tar Workshop) After escaping the tar workshop, where you've been using fire to ignite pools of tar, you'll return outside. Follow the wooden stairs downward until you reach an area containing a torch beside a narrow opening in the wall. Don't squeeze through the opening yet. Instead, look to your right for a wooden plank being held in place by a chain. Use your sling to break the chain, allowing you to access a nearby wooden dock. Follow the dock all the way to its end. Amicia and Lucas will pause to look toward the distant castle and discuss what's happening in the city. This conversation unlocks the A Grain of Sand souvenir. 7. The Stag's Roar – Chapter 5: In Our Wake (On the River) During Chapter 5, Amicia and Lucas will become separated from the boat and travel through a forest while searching for a way to reunite with the others. As you follow the woodland path, watch for a smaller trail branching off to the right. This optional route appears before you reach the narrow opening between the rocks. Take the right-hand trail and continue into the forest. After traveling a short distance, you'll hear the unmistakable roar of a stag somewhere nearby. The sound triggers the Stag's Roar souvenir. You don't need to locate or interact with the animal. 8. Huuuugoooo! – Chapter 5: In Our Wake (On the River) Later in Chapter 5, you'll navigate an area containing several large wooden cranes. After completing this section, Amicia and Lucas will reunite. Lucas will shout toward Amicia, prompting a conversation about his enthusiastic battle cry. Once the conversation begins, look upward for a ladder suspended above the ground. Use your sling to release the ladder. Climb to the elevated platform and approach the edge. From this higher position, Amicia can call out Hugo's name. Interact with the location to unlock the Huuuugoooo! souvenir. 9. Imagine You're Flying! – Chapter 6: Leaving All Behind (A Pilgrim Road) During Chapter 6, Amicia and Hugo will reach a camp occupied by travelers. Once inside the camp, look toward the left side for a man standing outside a tent. A narrow trail leading into the forest begins beside his position. Follow this trail away from the main camp. Continue along the woodland path until you discover a swing hanging from a tree. Approach the swing and interact with it. Hugo will help Amicia enjoy a brief moment of peace by pushing her on the swing. This interaction unlocks the Imagine You're Flying! souvenir. 10. What Color Do You Want? – Chapter 6: Leaving All Behind (Call of the Rats) Later in Chapter 6, Hugo will demonstrate his ability to control the rats during a story sequence. After completing this section, continue through the building until you reach a smaller room containing a ladder. Climb the ladder to the upper floor. From there, move into the adjoining room. You'll discover several colorful fabrics that Amicia and Hugo can examine. Approach the fabrics and interact with them to trigger a short conversation. This unlocks the What Color Do You Want? souvenir. 11. The Survivor – Chapter 7: Felons (More Rats) After navigating a dangerous area containing a massive rat nest, you'll emerge onto a beach. Look to your left for the wreckage of a large ship resting along the shoreline. Walk a short distance past the wreckage. Once you've passed it, turn around and examine the nearby rocky terrain. You'll notice a small ledge that Amicia can climb. Climb onto the ledge and follow the elevated path toward the ship. Approach the shipwreck and interact with it to unlock the Survivor souvenir. If you're returning through chapter select, loading the More Rats section places you close to the location. Turn around and look for the climbable ledge. 12. The First Men – Chapter 7: Felons (The Fishing Village) As you approach the fishing village during Chapter 7, you'll travel through a coastal area surrounded by rocky cliffs. Before continuing toward the village, turn around and examine the terrain behind you. Look for a ledge that can be climbed. Follow the elevated path until you discover a cave entrance hidden in the rocks. Enter the cave and explore its interior. You'll find ancient paintings decorating the cave walls. Approach the paintings and interact with them to unlock the First Men souvenir. 13. Silent Lucinda – Chapter 8: A Sea of Promises (Celebration of the Brighter Days) At the beginning of Chapter 8, Amicia and Hugo arrive at La Cuna and begin exploring the island's lively marketplace. While moving through the market, look toward the right side for an area containing several goats. Approach the animals and find the one available for interaction. Interact with the goat to trigger a short moment involving Hugo. This unlocks the Silent Lucinda souvenir. 14. Flower Crown – Chapter 8: A Sea of Promises (Celebration of the Brighter Days) This souvenir is located in the same market area as Silent Lucinda. Continue exploring the festivities until the guards blocking an archway announce that the celebration is beginning. Pass through the archway and look to the left for a staircase leading down toward a small activity stall. A merchant will be inviting visitors to test their throwing skills. Approach the stall and participate in the Crowns game. Pick up the available pots and aim them toward the suspended rings. Hold L2 to aim, then use R2 to throw each pot through its target. Successfully completing the activity rewards you with the Flower Crown souvenir. You can also earn the Perfect Throw trophy here by successfully completing all four throws without missing. 15. A Thousand More Years – Chapter 9: Tales and Revelations (Exploration) After leaving the palace for the first time, Amicia and her companions will enter a large open area that can be explored freely. Directly ahead, you'll notice a phoenix statue standing along the main route. Approach the statue, then look toward the right. You'll see a path stretching into the distance toward a house surrounded by a low stone fence. Follow the path toward the house. Once you reach the fence, look for a small opening that allows you to enter the enclosed area. Continue beyond the house until you discover an enormous ancient tree. Approach the tree and interact with it. This unlocks the A Thousand More Years souvenir. 16. Nice Screeching – Chapter 9: Tales and Revelations (Exploration) While exploring the large open area outside the palace, look toward the left side of the landscape. You'll spot a tall stone tower resembling a small castle. Travel toward the tower and walk around to the back of the building. The entrance is locked, but you can open it by shooting the door's locking mechanism through a nearby window. Use your sling to break the lock, then enter the tower. Once inside, climb the staircases all the way to the roof. At the top, approach the edge of the tower overlooking the surrounding landscape. Interact with the viewpoint to unlock the Nice Screeching souvenir. 17. Tramontane – Chapter 9: Tales and Revelations (On the Mountain) Later in Chapter 9, you'll travel up the mountain toward the sanctuary. Along the way, you'll encounter several goats wandering near the path. Continue forward until you reach a partially destroyed brick building. The entrance is blocked by tall grass. Use a fire-based projectile to ignite the grass and clear the entrance. Once the flames have burned away the obstruction, enter the building. Inside, you'll discover a goat that can be interacted with. Approach the animal and complete the interaction to unlock the Tramontane souvenir. 18. A Rag Doll – Chapter 10: Bloodline (Approaching the Fort) During Chapter 10, you'll reach a location where Sophia is leaning against a wall. Hugo will approach her and begin apologizing during a short conversation. After this interaction, enter the nearby building. Once inside, look toward the left for a wooden post that provides a suitable position for using your crossbow. From this location, aim toward the wooden planks blocking access to an elevated section on the opposite side of the building. Use your crossbow to destroy the obstruction. Once the planks have been removed, follow the newly accessible route and climb into the upper area. Continue toward the nearby tree. At its base, you'll discover a small rag doll. Examine the doll to unlock the A Rag Doll souvenir. If you're using chapter select, loading Approaching the Fort allows you to turn around and enter the building containing the collectible. 19. The Chateau d'Ombrage – Chapter 11: The Cradle of Centuries (Defence System) During Chapter 11, you'll reach an enormous underground chamber containing a large stone platform surrounded by rats. Three large braziers are positioned throughout the area. Focus on the brazier located on the right side. Push it backward as far as possible to reposition the light source. Once the brazier is in place, throw Tar into its flames to temporarily increase the size of the fire. The stronger light will force the nearby rats away from the area behind the brazier. Use this opportunity to drop onto the previously inaccessible lower platform. Look for a table containing an old map. Approach the table and examine the map to unlock the Chateau d'Ombrage souvenir. 20. His Toys – Chapter 11: The Cradle of Centuries (Aelia) After collecting the previous souvenir, you'll eventually cross a massive bridge and enter another underground chamber. Inside, you'll discover an enormous door secured by several sliding locks. Before working on the main door, look toward the right side of the chamber. You'll find a smaller locked door with a narrow opening in the wall beside it. Approach the opening and instruct Hugo to crawl through. He'll enter the room from the other side and unlock the door for you. Once the entrance is open, go inside. You'll discover several toys scattered around the room. Interact with them to unlock the His Toys souvenir. 21. A Mess – Chapter 13: Nothing Left (Grief) The final souvenir appears near the beginning of Chapter 13. As you progress through the ruined area, you'll encounter a hallway blocked by a movable cart. Pull the cart backward to clear the passage. Continue into the next room. Once inside, look toward the right wall for another cart positioned against it. Instead of continuing forward, move this second cart away from the wall. Doing so reveals an entrance to a concealed room. Enter the hidden area and look for a desk covered with scattered papers. Approach the desk and examine the documents to collect the A Mess souvenir. If you've collected all 20 previous souvenirs, the Immortal Memories trophy will unlock.

Tip

Use the Codex to track your souvenirs and compare the names against this guide before beginning New Game+. Several souvenirs are close to other collectibles, so collecting everything together during your first playthrough can save considerable time. If you miss anything, chapter select lets you revisit individual sections without restarting the entire story.

Warning

Many souvenirs require optional interactions that are easy to walk past, particularly when the main story is encouraging you to move forward. Some involve entering hidden rooms, climbing optional paths, or completing small activities. If you leave an area without triggering its souvenir, you may need to return through chapter select. Souvenir progress carries over to New Game+, but completing the collection during your first playthrough is the simplest approach.

Collect all 7 feathers scattered throughout A Plague Tale: Requiem. Feathers are introduced in Chapter 6 and become part of Hugo's Collection alongside the flowers. You can track your collected feathers through the Codex under Hugo's Collection. There is one feather in each of Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13. Here are all 7 feather locations: 1. Jay – Chapter 6: Leaving All Behind (Towards the Sea) At the beginning of Chapter 6, Amicia and Hugo will run together through a beautiful field of flowers. Continue following Hugo until he stops beside a large tree, where he discovers some feathers lying on the ground. Approach him and interact with the feathers to collect the Jay. This first feather is mandatory for story progression, so you don't need to worry about missing it. 2. Black Headed Gull – Chapter 7: Felons (Arrival at the Beach) Near the beginning of Chapter 7, Amicia and Hugo will descend a hill toward a beach filled with seagulls. Hugo will excitedly chase the birds along the shoreline. Follow him until he stops farther down the beach. Look to your left for a small wooden fishing hut. Enter the hut and check the mattress for a knife. Keep this knife because you'll need it to open a secret chest later in the chapter. Once you've collected the knife, climb through the window on the left side of the hut. Outside, follow the short path uphill until you reach the Black Headed Gull feather. 3. Black Kite – Chapter 8: A Sea of Promises (Celebration of the Brighter Days) Shortly after arriving on La Cuna, you'll enter a lively market filled with merchants and people celebrating. Explore the back-left section of the marketplace. Look for a woman standing near a group of people sitting on stone steps. Walk past the woman and head toward the small tree growing behind the group. The Black Kite feather is lying on the ground beside the tree. Pick it up before continuing through the market. 4. Barn Owl – Chapter 9: Tales and Revelations (Entering the Sanctuary) While climbing the mountain toward the sanctuary, Amicia and her companions will need to sneak past several enemies through areas covered in tall grass. Eventually, you'll enter a partially destroyed stone tower containing a spiral staircase. Instead of following the normal route through the tower, climb the spiral staircase all the way to the top. At the upper level, look for a ledge you can climb onto. Follow the narrow path along the ridge until you reach its end, where you'll discover the Barn Owl feather overlooking the surrounding landscape. Be sure to explore the upper level before continuing toward the sanctuary. 5. Raven – Chapter 10: Bloodline (The Old Temple) During Chapter 10, you'll reach a section where Amicia uses a large metal chandelier to break through a set of doors. Once you've opened the way, continue down the stone steps. You'll notice a stone pathway leading forward and a grassy route branching off to the left. Ignore the main path for now and follow the grassy route. Continue along the left side until you reach a point where you can drop down onto a rocky cliff overlooking the water. Follow the cliffside path to its end to discover the Raven feather. This is another collectible that's easy to miss if you're focused entirely on the main objective. 6. European Goldfinch – Chapter 11: The Cradle of Centuries (Byzantine Technology) While exploring the underground ruins, you'll reach a metal door that Sophia helps you open by positioning an explosive tank in front of it. Launch a fire projectile at the tank to trigger an explosion and destroy the door. Enter the newly accessible room. Instead of immediately following the main route, examine the back-right corner of the room. You'll discover another explosive tank partially concealed behind wooden planks. Ignite this second tank to destroy the nearby wall and reveal a hidden room. Enter the opening and collect the European Goldfinch feather.

Tip

After collecting the feather, continue into the next area and look for a knife embedded in a skeleton's skull. Save it for a secret chest you'll encounter later in the chapter. 7. Greylag Goose – Chapter 13: Nothing Left (Ruined Village) During Chapter 13, you'll fight your way through the ruined village before reaching a section where Amicia drops from a wooden balcony. After landing, you'll notice an archway decorated with flowers directly ahead. Before going through the arch, turn left and pick up the knife lying nearby. You'll need it to open the final secret chest. Now pass through the flower-covered archway. Enter the building on the left and look toward the right side for a movable cart. Push the cart backward toward the doorway you entered through, positioning it so you can climb onto the upper floor. Climb onto the cart and reach the elevated platform. You'll find the Greylag Goose feather on the upper floor. If you've collected the previous six feathers, the Ornithologist trophy will unlock. Tip: The final secret chest is located in the same upper area as the Greylag Goose feather. Make sure you open it while you're here, especially if you've been collecting every chest throughout the story.

Warning

Most feathers are found along optional paths that branch away from the main story route. If you miss one, you can return using chapter select after finishing the game. You don't need to replay the entire story to complete the collection.
