A Plague Tale Requiem: How to Run Away From the Count Chapter 12

The Count is one of the many sinister characters you will face off against in A Plague Tale Requiem. You get to face off against him in Chapter 12 and he does a pretty good number on your shoulder. The chase itself is quite long and it takes a great amount of patience to pull it off. Players often find it difficult to get through this level with ease.

This guide will help you escape from the count despite the injury Amicia is facing. Let’s dive in.

How to Run Away From the Count

The level starts off with Amicia hiding under a Table while the Count is loudly taunting her to show herself. Once he’s past you, it’s time to run past him toward the other room. Don’t worry, he won’t reach you as long as you managed to put a little distance between you and him.

When you’re about to reach the exit, a man will open it and he’s clearly not on your side. Looks like we have to find another way out. Go to the hallway on the left and into the room with the light on the right.

Keep going into the rooms with lights. You’ll run into the count again in a couple of steps, but don’t worry it’s part of the game design. Eventually, you’ll come across a series of tight spaces you can go through which will lead you to the room where the fun begins.

Inside the room, you will find a crank. Turning this crank will lower the gate that leads to your exit. The catch is when the crank is moved, it will emit a very loud sound, alerting the Count of your position.

Moving the crank is essential in your escape. The way to complete this level is to turn the crank, then once he’s near hide once again. Do this twice or thrice and you will eventually completely open the gate that leads to the exit.

Make sure to use the environment to your advantage. Crawl under tables and go through tight spaces to evade him. Once you’ve put a bit of distance between you, begin crouching to make him lose sight of you.

This table near the crank is a good place to hide after he’s lost sight of you. Since it’s near the crank, you can proceed to move it right after he goes away.

You need to exercise patience and caution to finish this level. Once you’ve successfully evaded him several times and completely opened the gate, you can finally run towards the exit and successfully evade the Count!
