A Plague Tale Requiem: How to Complete the Archer Encounter Chapter 2

In Chapter 2 of A Plague Tale: Requiem, Amicia, and Lucas will encounter a pesky Archer. Archers are not just ordinary enemies. They can take you down from long-range due to their bow and arrow weaponry.

Plus, they are mostly situated on high ground so they always have a good vantage point to see you, making it very hard to evade past them most of the time.

How to Complete the Archer Encounter

Despite the difficulty level, there’s actually a way you can effectively sneak past the archer and the several mercenaries in the area. All it takes is impeccable timing and ingenuity. Let’s get started.

To start the level off, we’re introduced to a mean-mannered archer on top of a wooden platform.

At first, he’s facing our direction so we can’t go past him. After a few seconds, he turns around for a while. This marks our chance to sneak past him.

Make sure to crouch while walking past him so they won’t hear your footsteps. Climb the wooden platform on your right then go up the stairs under where the Archer is standing.

Quickly go towards the pillar before the archer turns his back. At the end of the pillar section, there will be a toolbox, and just to the left of it is the exit.

However, we can’t just simply go towards the exit because there’s a mercenary doing patrol near the toolbox.

We need to distract him. To do this, throw a rock toward the toolbox to make a distracting sound. The guard will check the toolbox for a few seconds then proceed to his post with his back turned towards the exit. This will be your chance to sneak past him towards the exit.

Although, you also need to be careful of the Archer even at the last stretch. Make sure that he has his back turned during your last sneak toward the exit as he will be able to detect you quickly if he sees you
