How to unlock the Night guard achievement in A Plague Tale: Requiem - Definitive Guide

This can be earned as soon as you unlock Exstinguis ammo at the start of Chapter 3. This new ammo type can be combined with the slingshot or pots to extinguish fires from a distance. During the course of 15 chapters in-game it's highly likely you'll unlock this naturally.

However, if you're anything like me and want this achievement done and dusted, you can get it right there and then! During the Exstinguis tutorial take out the first and second guard. As you reach the third guard the brazier you stand beside is checkpointed. So, you can then exploit "Restart Section" in the pause menu to constantly reload the checkpoint, here you should have Exstinguis ammo and two fires directly in front of you.

Simply extinguish the fires and hit "Restart Section" roughly 18 times to get the achievement out the way early.

I completed the game without earning this achievement so it is most likely worth the time to grind it out with this method.

Can you explain why you felt that the Soyjak-face was necessary for the thumbnail?

A easier way to do this is to find any light source to work on. Then simply light the flame with fire sling, and then extinguishe ist with the extinguish sling, keep switching on the dpad till your out of ammo, craft more or reload the checkpoint and repeat. Took me 1-2mins doing it.

If you already played the game, load chapter 3, section 4.
You'll be faced with two lightened posts. Keep extinguishing them and reloading section as needed.
After my campaign run I needed 5 more and achievement popped.

In Chapter 3, A Burden of Blood, you will learn the alchemic recipe Exstinguis. This happens in part 3 of the chapter, Rodric's tool. With this item you can extinguish flames from a distance. For this trophy you need to extinguish 40 flames. This can be done through normal gameplay, but if you are in a hurry to unlock this you can grind out the trophy by selecting restart section from the pause menu anywhere there are fires. Just put the fires out, restart section, rinse and repeat until it unlocks.

In the video guide I created for this on my YouTube channel I show how this can be done right after learning the recipe. Following this guide you should be able to knock this out in about 5 minutes: 2 fires per run at about 15 seconds per run, 8 fires per minute. Messed the math up in the video and came up with 10 minutes (what I get for not scripting it out before recording).

Most likely you will complete it during the game, don’t bother, especially if you go for platinum by rummaging through all the places and pumping up your skills. But the best place for this is not the 13th chapter, but the very beginning of the 11th. There, right from the start, you can put out 5 lanterns (torches). Two in the distance and three near you, of course, put out the one closest to you last so that the rats don’t run in and immediately restart (return to the beginning of the section). There aren't even guards there, it's done in a couple of minutes. After two attempts it fell out, i.e. in ten chapters I extinguished about 30 of them, and there are six more chapters ahead, so I think by the end of the game it will easily break out on its own.

The trophy is cumulative. I played the first game and started “new game+” on the same save - in chapter 4 or 5 the trophy dropped. You don't have to bother with restarting chapters to knock them out on your first playthrough.

I finished off the missing ones on chapter 13-5-salvation. At the beginning there is a guard with a torch and another torch in the distance. The main thing is not to engage in battle, but to immediately reload
