Prologue Walkthrough
| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 | After the cutscene, head upstairs and down the hall to the bedroom and put Rose to bed. Check the other rooms if you'd like to find various things to interact with. Return downstairs to Mia when you're ready. Severel cutscenes will play after. |
| 2 | Once you wake up from the crash, head down the path and into the cabin. |
| 3 | Go down the stairs in the back of the cabin. Open the armoire at the end to trigger the next event. |
| 4 | Return upstairs to find a newly-made exit and go through it. |
| 5 | Continue over the fence until you reach the village. |
| 6 | Go through the village until you reach a house with a lit brazier hanging outside and go inside. You're free to explore beforehand, but you won't find any items to collect. |
| 7 |  Once inside the house with the lit brazier, pick up the knife from the table. You can use it to break the box with yellow stripes for a First Aid Med. |
| 8 | In the back of the house, interact with the curtain to receive the LEMI semi-automatic pistol. |
| 9 | 
In the next area, interact with the dead body, then kill the Lycan that attacks you. |
| 10 | Reenter the house and go back to where you received the pistol to find Bolt Cutters. |
| 11 | In the other house nearby, you can find a Chem Fluid and an Herb you can use to craft First Aid Med. |
| 12 |  Go to the gate and use the Bolt Cutters on the chain to proceed. |
| 13 | Enter the next building and pick up the Handgun Ammo. Barricade the door first before going up upstairs. |
| 14 | Pick up the Chem Fluid and Handgun Ammo, then deal with the Lycans trying to get inside. |
| 15 | After you get rid of the Lycans, unbarricade the door and head down the new path that's opened up. |
| 16 | Before going near the house with the stairs, you can look up to find lycans that are ready to ambush you. They will only start attacking you once you enter the house or if you shoot at them. Break the box to collect the Handgun Ammo and head up the stairs. |
| 17 | 
Enter the house and barricade the door. Get the M1897 shotgun on the table and, if you can, quickly collect the Gunpowder, Handgun ammo, and Herb. |
| 18 | Go down the ladder, grab the Rusted Scrap to the left, and head back outside. |
| 19 | At this point, you will be constantly pursued by lycans. You have to survive for a certain amount of time before you can proceed. Survive by being constantly on the move, utilizing flour sacks and red barrels, and using your ammo and First Aid Meds if necessary. Once you survive for long enough, a cutscene will happen. |
| 20 | After the cutscene, approach the red gates up the hill that are now open. Another cutscene will play out once you go through the gates. |
Unlock a Trophy for Kicking the Ball to the Study
If you kick the yellow ball on the ground in Ethan's bedroom over to the study in the room next door, you can clear the requirements for the Gooooaaal! Trophy and Challenge.

Get the Shotgun!
Inside the two-floor house with a ladder, you can find the M1897 Shotgun. It's a powerful weapon for the beginning of the game, so don't forget to grab it!
M1897 Weapon Stats and Upgrades
Make Use of the Explosive Barrels
During your fight with the Lycans, you will find red barrels in the area. Shoot these to blow them up and take out large groups of enemies with ease. As the Lycans won't stop coming, this will help you save ammo and give you more time to pick up other items in the area.
Clear Challenges for Killing Lycans
During the Lycan assault at the end of the Prologue, defeating 30 Lycans within 5 minutes awards you the Unstoppable Challenge. When Urias, the giant Lycan, shows up, defeating him will also earn you the Timber Challenge and Trophy. These can be difficult to do during a first playthrough, even on Casual difficulty, so you may be better off saving this for a second playthrough.

Urias
Near the end of the assault, a large Lycan with a hammer called Urias will appear to cause trouble. In a fresh playthrough, you'll want to avoid him as much as possible due to the amount of damage he's capable of dealing, but on a second or third playthrough, you may have the firepower to take him out during the opening of the game.
