Ensure your inventory is well-stocked with ammo and healing items before embarking on this leg of your quest.
- Exit the Church: From the Church, head back out into the Village. Your compass will now point you towards the path leading out of the main village area.
- The Graveyard and the Maiden of War: As you exit the Church grounds, you'll pass through the graveyard. Continue following the path, which will lead you to the "Maiden of War" statue.
- The Suspension Bridge: Just past the Maiden of War, you'll find a suspension bridge. Cross it carefully. As you do, you'll notice the environment becoming more overgrown and desolate.
- The Lone Road: After crossing the bridge, you'll be on a winding, solitary road. Keep an eye out for Lycans that may ambush you from the dense foliage. Use your shotgun for close-range encounters.
- The Gardener's House: You'll eventually come across a small, dilapidated house on your left. This is the Gardener's House. Inside, you can find some valuable resources, including Magnum Ammo and a File that hints at the horrors to come.
- The Grave of the Beneviento Family: Continuing past the Gardener's House, the path will lead you to a small, eerie graveyard. This is the Grave of the Beneviento Family. You'll find a Key Item: Wooden Angel here, which is crucial for progressing.
- The Altar: Further down the path, you'll encounter a small altar with a missing piece. Use the Wooden Angel you just acquired to complete the altar. This will open the gate leading directly to the grounds of House Beneviento.
- Approaching House Beneviento: Once the gate is open, follow the winding path up to the imposing and silent House Beneviento. The atmosphere will become incredibly oppressive here.
Tip: Before entering House Beneviento, consider returning to the Duke's Emporium if you need to craft more supplies or upgrade your weapons. Once inside, you'll be committed to a unique and terrifying segment of the game.
