How to find and interact with all Old Protector's items in A Plague Tale: Requiem

To complete the Old Protector achievement in A Plague Tale: Requiem, players will need to interact with all of the Old Protector's items during Chapter 9, Tales and Revelations. This is a long chapter that encompasses a large location. The opportunity to interact with the required items will come after Sophia leads you away, in the later stages of the chapter.

After a cutscene, you will have to head down the stairs, push open the door Sophia is standing beside, and step into the sacred quarters. The following rooms contain the required items that will net players the sought-after achievement. Players should keep in mind to check each room thoroughly before moving ahead as they will not get a second opportunity to complete the achievement.

The first location is that of Basilius' room, where players must interact with the following items:

• Table with wooden figurines - Beside the door that leads to the next room.
• Basilius' bed - Situated to the left of the entrance door.
• Wooden Toy horse - This lies more to the centre of the room, near the entrance.

Moving forward, Aelia's room is next. Players will need to interact with the following items there:

• Weapon rack - This is located on the right side of the armor set.
• Wax tablets with drawings- Move farther right from the weapon rack and you will find the item on a small chest beside the door.

Step out through the next door, finish the cutscene involving the wall drawing of the phoenix, and open the door opposite to the one you exited from. You will find yourself in the Alchemy Laboratory. Here are the items to be interacted with:

• A black empty vial - Make another right and walk towards the Athanor. This will fall to your right near the middle of the room.
• Athanor - Cross the black empty vial and walk straight ahead. It is located in the opposite corner of the entrance door.
• The laboratory table - After you have interacted with the aforementioned items, go and talk to Hugo beside the lab table.

Sophia will call you upstairs after that. There is a curtain to the right of the Athanor. Interact with it to reveal a passageway that leads upstairs. Once you are up there in the Alchemist's Library, you need to interact with the following items before talking to Sophia:
