Unlike other achievements which are rewarded later on in A Plague Tale: Requiem, the Perfect Shot Trophy can be easily obtained quite early in the game. The opportunity will present itself in chapter one, Under a New Sun, when both Amicia and Hugo are playing together.
The sibling will approach a river and Hugo starts to throw pine cones into the water and asks Amicia to shoot them, pretending they're enemy's ships. Amicia the Amazon must stand firm at the frontier and defend King Hugo from the enemies by using her sling to shoot them down.
How To Get The Perfect Shot Trophy In A Plague Tale: Requiem
To get the Perfect Shot Trophy in A Plague Tale: Requiem, players must sink all the pine cones while Amicia is playing with Hugo. Later on, Tonin will join the sibling and play with them and starts to throw rocks. Keep in mind that the first pine cone will always sink on its own. At the beginning of A Plague Tale: Requiem, Hugo will throw in about six cones for Amicia to sink. He’s very slow, so it shouldn’t be a problem to target all of them.
After Tonin joins the party, things will become a bit different. Hugo will start throwing them much faster, causing some pine cones to hide behind themselves. Players can expect around 15 pine cones thrown into the river. If all cones were shot by Amicia, the Perfect Shot Trophy will be unlocked. Although Tonin will try to ‘help’ Amicia, he will always miss the cones.
How To Get To The River In A Plague Tale: Requiem
At first, all three major characters from Plague Tale: Innocence will play hide and seek with each other. Once Amicia and Hugo hide from Lucas and scare him successfully, the Alchemist will excuse himself and return home to study, while the sibling will continue on their merry way to play another game. After enjoying the scenery for a bit, they decide to journey to a nearby castle. Along the way, the duo stumbles upon a river, which sparks Hugo back into character as the ruler.
Both start to role-play with Hugo being King and Amicia the Amazon being his Loyal Soldier. The pine cones will be the sorcerers’ army attacking Hugo’s kingdom via ships. The Captain, Amicia, must now stand at the front line and defend her king using the trusty sling and rocks. This part of A Plague Tale: Requiem will also act as a tutorial, teaching players how to aim and shoot enemies. Tonin will join later on and act as a Canon by throwing rocks into the river. The game concludes with the latter throwing a huge rock sinking every pine cone, ending the battle.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
