V – The Ravens’ Spoils Guide
Follow the aqueduct
Follow the path and keep to the downward area. When you get close to the stone arches, you can head up to the left into the grass. Follow it back the way you came in order to find the collectible flower Gladiolus.
Head back to the initial path until Hugo calls for your attention.
Cross the battlefield
It’s a pretty straightforward path up until you see the movement of a dead horse and a bunch of rats spew forth. Turn to the left and throw an Ignifer onto the fire pit, then crawl under the log.
Up ahead there’s a haystack. Ignifer it and run past it to the safety of the other fire posts.
Eventually you’ll be at a stand-still. Throw an Ignifer at an unlit post, then slingshot one at the top end of the burning embers of the mechanism. Head over to the mechanism and rotate the lever down for some light. Have Hugo grab a stick.
Take the stick from him, light it, and go to the next lit section.
A man will start to make his way to you. Crouch in the grass, then slingshot his lantern so the rats take care of the problem.
Across the bridge, Ignifer the fire pit and then slingshot a rock at the metal chain. A man will come for you, but slingshot him in the head for a kill shot.
This area has a crafting table.
Once you’ve stocked up on supplies, grab a stick and light it, then take it over to the fire pit on the cart to light. You’ll be going the left path first for a collectible. When you’re close enough the guy, slingshot him with a rock for a kill. Get close enough to look through the chest for a Scythe.
Take the cart back to the other location where another enemy is. Get a good angle to slingshot a rock into his lantern so the rats can kill him.
After that, walk through some muck and crouch by the wall an enemy is standing. You’ll want to stand behind him when he starts walking so you can grab the torch up ahead, then make your way to the wall to climb over.
Slingshot the chains holding the corpses up in the tree to drop them. Go around the left side, bypassing the rat cluster, to find another collectible Oliphant. Now climb into the structure and take the torch from the holder.
You’ve got two choices here.
Kill the man by moving forward and having the rats move closer to him, or save the man by placing the torch in the second holder and slinging an Ignifer onto the flammable thing beside him. If you save him, you get the achievement Savior.
Head out and up ahead you’ll come across a guard you can’t get around. Lucas will give you another alchemical mixture known as Somnum. Craft it and approach the guy from behind, then use it to put him to sleep. Ignifer the torch and move ahead to the mechanism to use it.
When the flame swings, follow its path up ahead. Ignifer an unlit torch and send Hugo to fetch a stick through the gap. Light the stick and hop down off the ledge behind you. There’s an opening to go through with another bonfire you can light, as well as the collectible Ballastella (Jacob’s staff) to loot.
Grab a stick, light it, then go back up to have Hugo grab another stick for you.
Get Lucas to use the mechanism and follow the light again, light your torch, and progress to the two lights up ahead. Get close enough and you’ll watch the pillars crumble and fall. Otherwise, go up the path where a crafting table is.
Ignifer the haystack and hop over the log. Slingshot the chain holding the flame cart and follow it down.
To the left is a guard patrolling. Take out his lantern. Look up and slingshot the chain to break it and dump bodies down. Turn around and Ignifer the unlit torch, then grab a stick and light it to get to the flaming bodies.
Go over the wall.
Up ahead are a lot of enemies. Just stay crouched until the two walk away, then get closer to the one further up, but stay to the right when you throw a rock at the metal objects. Otherwise he might see you. Up ahead you’ll climb over a wall.
Sneak ahead to see two people being harassed by a guard. Be noticed by them and they’ll create a diversion along with a cutscene.
And that’s that.
