Head for the Courtyard

Follow the Path

Map Location	In-Game Location

Head deeper into the castle, where you can find a merchant just beyond the entrance. Stock up on items and ammo before proceeding! After making your preparations, take the stairs going up and towards the ledge where you can use your binoculars to scout ahead. The Castle Gate can be seen directly across, but is heavily guarded by Cultists.

Find a Way to the Gate

After scouting the Cultists, head to the lower floor of the castle, and wait for the cultists to pass through. Head to the next room to witness and fight against a cultist that was violently taken over by a Parasite. Enter door behind the altar, then outside towards the staircase, where a cutscene will be triggered.

Defeat the Cultists

After the brief cutscene, cultists will start shooting at you using their crossbows. Kill them using a rifle to safely proceed to the next area. Once all the cultists are defeated, make your way up the stairs of the castle walls where you will be targeted by the Cultists' catapult. Kill the approaching Cultists while also dodging the incoming projectiles from the catapult.

Find the Cannon

Continue making your way through the Cultists until you find a fenced off area. Drop down to find the cannon, and shoot the chain to trigger the mechanism that will lift the cannon up. Head up to where the cannon is and man the cannon to start firing back at the Cultists! Targets will be marked by a solid white circle, so fire the cannon at these targets!

After shooting the remaining Catapults using the cannon, aim it towards the Castle Gate to break it to trigger the cutscene. Once the path is clear, make your way to the newly unlocked path. Head inside the castle, and there should be a merchant to your right, so stock up on items and ammo before proceeding.

Approach the Staircase

Map Location	In-Game Location

After stocking up on items and ammo, approach the staircase on the other side of the room to trigger the cutscene where Ramon Salazar introduces himself. Once Ramon finishes his monologue, more cultists will appear to attack you and Ashley.

Defeat the Cultists

Multiple Cultists will arrive and attack you and Ashley. Defeat them while also keeping Ashley safe to proceed to the next area.

Head Deeper into the Castle

After defeating the Cultists, head towards the wall with the torn cloth draped over it. Vault Ashley over to have her unlock the steel gate frin the inside. Once inside, crawl through the small gap in the walls and head through the corridor, and into the Torture Chamber. You can interact with the victims to get a closer look.

Follow the trail of blood on the floor, which is also accompanied by the sound of clanging metal. Continue following the trail where you will find a corpse leaning against the wall. Interact with the corpse by the wall to retrieve the Dungeon Key. Walk back to trigger the cutscene where Leon falls through the floor and finds the source of the clanging metal.

Find a Way Back Up

Map Location	In-Game Location

After the cutscene with the Garrador, Leon learns that it cannot see, and relies on sound to figure out your position. It is initially chained when you first see it, but making loud noises, such as passing through chains will alert the Garrador of your presence, and will proceed to chase after and attack you.

Once you quietly reach the next room, or once the Garrador is defeated, open the gate, and head inside the small room. Take the ladder inside the room back up to the upper floor, where you can begin to hear Ashley coughing from the other side of the door. After your rendezvous with Ashley, unlock the locked gate using the Dungeon Key that you obtained from the Cultist corpse earlier.

Solve the Animal Bell Puzzle

Solution
1st - Deer Gong	2nd - Bird Gong	3rd - Snake Gong

Animal Gong Puzzle Solutions

After unlocking the gate, head up the stairs and into the storage room. Exit the storage room to find a room full of paintings and statues. As per Ashley's suggestion, you can ring the Gongs by shooting at them. Ring the Deer Gong outside by interacting with it, then shoot the Eagle and Snake Gongs by the right side of the room.

Solve the Swords Puzzle

Solution
Standing Knight Mural - Iron Sword	Knighting Mural - Golden Sword
Killing Mural - Bloodied Sword	Gravestone Mural - Rusted Sword

Four Swords Puzzle

Take the Iron Sword from the Gravestone mural, the Rusted Sword from the Knighting mural, and the Golden Sword from the Standing Knight mural. Afterwards, place the Iron Sword on the Standing Knight mural, the Golden Sword on the Knighting mural, and the Rusted Sword on the Gravestone mural. The fourth sword is in the other locked gate, which can be unlocked after solving the Animal Gong Puzzle

Take the Bloodied Sword

Take the Bloodied sword from the room and place it on the mural next to the gate to unlock it. This room will have a chest that you can open to get the Golden Bangle.

Solve the Animal Bell Puzzle

Solution
1st - Dragon Gong	2nd - Snake Gong

Animal Gong Puzzle Solutions

After leaving the room, you and Ashley will find yourselves in a balcony with another locked gate. This is another Animal Bell Puzzle that requires you hit the two bells where one is on the other side. To do this, jump on the chandelier to go to the other side. Shoot the gong as soon as you find it. Ashley will help you out on this, so no need to worry about hitting the first one. Enter the next door you find after.

Explore the Next Area

Map Location	In-Game Location

Follow the path down as you enter the door. Head to the right to unlock the door to the main hall. You can also enter the room to save your progress. There should be a book inside the room, too where you can learn more about some parasites.

Defeat the Cultists

Head to the hallway to the left to reach the next room. You will face a couple of Cultists here so make sure to defeat them first before going down.

Take the Halo Wheel

Walk down to the stairs on the left side of the hall to meet a small wave of parasites. Look for the Halo Wheel from the statue next to the area where you dropped off. Find your way to the podium to lower the staircase to head back to the previous floor. Take the Halo Wheel once again as you'll be needing it again to lower another staircase in the upper floor.

Lower Down the Staircase

The previous floor will have a couple of Cultists once again, so clear them out before you use the Halo Wheel to lower down another staircase.

Protect Ashley

Upon reaching the upper hall, you'll find another wheel that only lifts up half of the path. You'll have to send Ashley to find the other wheel on the upper floor. Protect her as Cultists will try to kill her. You'll be attacked as well, so try to be cautious of your surrounding.

Move to the Castle Courtyard

Map Location	In-Game Location

Once Ashley finds the other wheel, Leon will ask her to come down and proceed to the next area with her. There's another locked door along the way, but you only need to send Ashley to the other side to unlock it. This will trigger the next cutscene where Ashley threatens to kill herself, and gets separated from Leon after coming to her senses.

Chapter 7 Tips and Strategies

Chapter 7 Tips and Strategies
Shoot the Garrador's Back to Kill it Make Use of the Environment Against the Parasites

Shoot the Garrador's Back to Kill it

Once the Garrador is chasing after and attacking you, sneak past it without bumping into any objects. This makes the Garrador an easy target since it will stay in place and just listen for clues, allowing you to line up a shot.

The Garrador's weak point is the Plaga on its back, and shooting it several times will be enough to kill it.

Make Use of the Environment Against the Parasites

During the part where you must take the Halo Wheel, you can use your sniper to get a headstart and shoot the parasites before dropping down.

Once below, you can lure the parasites towards the back where you can shoot an explosive barrel to easily defeat them.
