In this chapter of Plague Tale: Requiem, you’ll face a series of cart puzzles, rat swarms, and collapsing walkways—all navigated using movable fire-bearing carts and precise teamwork. Here’s how to get through the sequence efficiently.

---

Objectives:

• Use fire carts to create safe paths.
• Clear the rail track and wreckage.
• Solve the mechanical gate puzzle.
• Reunite the group and proceed to the bridge.

---

Fire Cart Navigation:

Start by using the fire-bearing carts to create a safe route across areas overrun by rats. Stay in the light and ensure that Sophia stays close. Use the cart junctions to redirect paths as needed.

You’ll need to:

• Push carts along the tracks to clear the way.
• Use switches and levers to alternate track directions.
• Light up key pathways to avoid rat infestations.

Mechanical Gate Puzzle:

Once you encounter the gate with multiple bars:

1. Look for poles and levers around the structure.
2. Have Sophia operate one of the mechanisms.
3. Rotate the poles to lift both top and bottom bars.
4. Coordinate lever activations and watch for moving parts.

Once the gate is open, proceed cautiously—the ominous atmosphere and new environmental smells suggest danger ahead.

Crossing the Bridge:

After solving the gate, you’ll reach a large bridge mechanism:

1. Hugo volunteers to descend a steep side path to explore the controls.
2. As Amicia, support Hugo’s descent and find the chain-operated winches.
3. Use the winch mechanisms to extend the bridge fully.
4. Once activated, reunite with Sophia and Hugo across the bridge.

---

Final Obstruction and Rescue:

As the group proceeds, a massive wreck blocks the cart track:

1. Sophia detours to retrieve a tank (mechanical lift/crane).
2. Use the tank to remove the wreckage.
3. Once cleared, push forward with the cart.

Keep Hugo close during this final push and prepare for emotionally intense scenes as you approach the inner sanctum and await the outcome of your journey.

Tips:

• Always stay in the light.
• Use Sophia to operate distant switches.
• Don’t rush—rat movement is dynamic and lethal.
• Keep an eye out for lore and environmental storytelling elements as you pass each section.

Good luck, and may the light protect you.
