Chapter 17 Collectibles & Secrets
Chapter 17, "The Siblings," is a pivotal chapter in Amicia and Hugo's journey, and it contains several important collectibles that offer further insight into their plight and the world around them. As you navigate the increasingly desperate circumstances, scour the environments for Souvenirs and Herbs.
Souvenirs in this chapter often reflect the emotional toll of their experiences. They can be found in quiet, often overlooked corners of the map, sometimes in makeshift shelters or abandoned campsites. Look for the characteristic shimmer that sifies a collectible. Interacting with these items will provide poant narrative details and deepen your understanding of Amicia and Hugo's bond and the sacrifices they've made. Some may require you to backtrack slightly or explore off the beaten path, so don't be afraid to deviate from the main objective for a moment.
Herbs remain a critical resource in Chapter 17, as the need for alchemical ammunition is at its peak. You'll find Lavender and Juniper in various locations, often in more open areas or along the edges of paths. Make it a habit to collect every herb you see. The scarcity of resources can be a significant challenge in this chapter, so a full stock of crafting materials can be the difference between success and failure.
Keep an eye out for any hidden Workbenches. These are essential for upgrading Amicia's equipment, which is crucial for facing the heightened threats in this chapter. Workbenches are typically found in relatively safe, enclosed areas. Prioritize finding and using them to improve your sling, crossbow, and alchemical crafting capabilities. Upgrades to your crossbow, in particular, can be a game-changer.
The environment itself can sometimes hide secrets. Look for areas that seem slightly out of reach or require a specific approach to access. A well-placed shot from your sling might dislodge a hidden item, or a narrow crevice might lead to a small cache of resources. Thorough exploration is key to maximizing your chances of survival and uncovering all the hidden lore this chapter has to offer.
