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

This achievement is obtainable during Chapter 4: Protectors Duty. After learning how to craft tar for your sling you will reach the docks and will have to co-operate with a guard to reach the end. Once you have navigated to the end of the dock the guard will confront you, instead of killing him you will need to equip and fire a tar shot which will make all of the rats around flee from the flames and also not kill the guard. Simply run past the guard and to the left, up the stairs and through the door and the achievement will unlock.

Everything in this guide is correct, except that you do not need to fire an ignifier shot first. All you need to do is fire a tar shot. The guard is holding a torch, so the tar shot is enough to blind him. Giving you enough time to run by.

I'm pretty sure this isn't misable because you need the tar to progress. I killed the guard by putting his torch out and couldn't progress. I restarted from checkpoint, blinded him with tar, and ran past him and still got the achievement.

I will confirm that it IS missable, I did kill the guard and I progressed past this area.

Yes definitely missable as I also put out the guard’s torch and the rats got him.

It's not missable because you can replay Chapter 4 - part 5 and get it with chapter select.

That is the very definition of missable. It means that you can miss it the first time and have to replay to get it. unmissable is when it is story related and you can't progress without it unlocking. It IS totally missable.

I understand what you are saying, but on TA the convention is that this is not missable because you don't have to play the whole game again from the beginning to get it.
That is why this achievement is not flagged as missable and the walkthrough says there are zero missable achievements.

It unlocked for me without any notification on series s just now, so if it doesn't pop on screen for you just check in the unlocked menu to see if it actually did.

In chapter 4, don't kill the guard on the docks, shoot the guard with ignifer first and then with tar.

I've created a trophy guide on my YouTube channel covering this. You can get this while playing through Chapter 4: Part 5, Protector's Duty: Obligitory Cooperation. If you missed this for any reason you can simply load this from the chapter select on the main menu. This video shows the fastest way to play through the puzzles on the docks and get to the part with the guard that you need to spare.

If you don't need to see how to solve the entire puzzle and want to skip to the part of the video showing the requirements for the trophy skip to roughly the 5:00 mark.

Chapter 4.
When there is a stage of co-op with a guard, we will reach the moment when a soldier will stand by and prevent us from passing.
We need to throw an incendiary sling cartridge at him, and then a tar cartridge.
You can also simply throw resin at the soldier's torch.

This will distract the soldier, scare the rats, and we will run.

You need to throw resin on the soldier's torch, then there will be a flash

It’s even easier to simply not lower the second bridge for the soldier, and bypass the rats using a pot of resin
