Objectives
1 Once you gain control, 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.
2 When you come to, head down the path and into the cabin.
3 Go down the stairs in the back of the cabin and 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 Head through the village until you reach a house with a lit brazier hanging outside and go inside.
7 Pick up the knife from the table. You can use it to break the box with yellow stripes for a First Aid Med.

In the next area, interact with the dead body, then kill the Lycan that attacks you.
10 Reenter the house and go to where you received the pistol to find some 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.

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 shut, then go upstairs.
14 Pick up the Chem Fluid and 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.

A group of Lycans will assault you, so run to your left and up the stairs to get the M1897 shotgun.
17 Go down the ladder, grab the Rusted Scrap, and head back outside.
18 Run up the hill into another building while fending off your attackers until a cutscene starts.

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!

Make Use of the Explosive Barrels

Barrel.png

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.
