Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Walkthrough — All Chapters

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is an action-adventure set in the medieval Mediterranean. The story follows Sophia, who travels to Minotaur's Island to uncover the secrets of her own past. In this guide, we'll walk through the story chapters in detail and cover the solutions to every puzzle.

Watch the opening cutscene. Cross the stream and skirt around the market, then climb the stairs. At the end of the walkway, turn right and push through the crowd. After the conversation with Ezra, you'll be introduced to the basics of the combat system, and then a chase begins. Sophia will hit a dead end, where you need to turn right and climb out through a window. Make your way past the fishermen and meet Ezra in the house, then squeeze through the gap in the wall and head to the Pit to hear news about the returned expedition.

Sophia learns that the expedition members have died, after which she finds herself in Faro's cabin. Here you'll want to interact with points of interest like the dresser or the captain's desk. Feel free to listen to all the dialogue and return to bed. After the cutscene, you'll arrive at a training arena, where you'll learn new combat skills. You'll learn to block and parry attacks, as well as dodge. Next, Sophia ends up in a training camp, where you need to fight Irene and pick up some new techniques.

Follow your companion and inspect a couple of bodies, then climb the stairs. Head down into the courtyard and open the door on the left, after which you'll have to cut down some bandits. After the cutscene, you'll need to defeat a mercenary and his soldiers. Finally, watch the title screen, and the prologue will end.

Faro devises a plan to raid the city and lets Sophia take part in the operation. Ride the gondola and step ashore, then climb the stairs and move across the rooftops until you run into guards. Take out the soldiers and open the gate using the rotating mechanism. Head down to the street and find a barrel covered with a white cloth. You need to stash your gear inside it and take the masks so the group can slip onto the main street.

Move forward, using the flags bearing a red flower as your guide. Just before the tent full of fabrics, turn right into an archway. Wait for the guards to finish their inspection, then cross the town square and turn right. Cross the river over the stone bridge, bear left at the end, and approach the crowd. From here, follow Leni and make your way to the church. Go around its right side and squeeze through the gap in the fence.

Grab your gear from the barrel by the pier and climb onto the church roof using a new tool — the grappling hook. Look to the right and notice the bright white beam of light. Take out your mirror (TAB key) and aim it at the beam so a faint line appears on screen. Holding the mirror, turn right and redirect the light onto the building with the giant pipes. Wait for the explosion, climb back down, and eavesdrop on the guards' conversation.

Work your way across the rooftops to the rope and cross the street, then use the grappling hook to pull down an archer. On the neighboring building, it's worth looting a chest that holds a bracelet which increases your chance to deal extra Critical Strike damage. Push forward and take out the soldiers, and at the end, descend the fortress wall to the arsenal and help fend off the Venetian attack.

Use the rope to reach the pier and cut down the soldiers, then open the chest. Sophia will receive an amulet that lets you upgrade her abilities. Choose one of six abilities, spending five Resonance Points, and take out the remaining enemies. Head down to the lower level and run forward, dodging arrows, until you meet Leni.

In the next scene, Sophia sneaks into a burning lair to retrieve a magical book. Head down beneath the cabin, climb out to the surface, and fight your way through the soldiers. Next, you'll face Faro, who accuses Sophia of conspiring with the Venetians. After this fight with the first story boss, make your way to the pier and jump into the boat.

Flip through Sophia's book to the end and watch the cutscene. After landing on the shore, head toward the large green door and keep an eye on the bottom-left corner of the screen. A book icon automatically appears near an important story location. When it does, open the journal (J key) and hover Sophia's finger over the matching image. This is how you'll get hints while solving puzzles.

To the left of the green door lies a cluster of caves. Head to the largest crevice and climb up. Go around the short tree and edge along the cliff face. Climb into the grotto, make your way out to the surface, turn left, and reach a wooded grove.

Here you'll need to solve a simple puzzle. Open Sophia's book and memorize the drawing of the large rock beside the bare tree. Climb the small hill and look for a small tree with no leaves. It will point to a spot on the cliff that you can latch onto with the grappling hook to climb higher.

Survey the area and head down the path to the grove. Push the log off the ledge and help Leni climb out, then work together with her to clear a way to the ruins. Stand in the center of the disc and find the fragment marked with a W in the book, then move in the direction it indicates. Along the way you'll come across a fox. Follow it until you reach a ruined set of columns.

Pass through the rockslide and descend to the abandoned ruins. Among them, find the intact wall with a window that looks out onto a watchtower. Jump across the opening and move forward toward the tall, branchless tree, then use the grappling hook. Turn right and look through the ring so that the red cloud forms a cross against the fallen mast.

Head down to the fallen red mast, open the hatch, and descend into the cave. At the end, climb the ladder, turn right, and follow the path. Watch the cutscene and reach the abandoned camp, then squeeze through the rocks and head toward the abandoned temple.

Stop at the giant bronze statue, turn left, and climb to the upper level of the ruins, then jump to the other side. Help your companion get through the rubble and climb to the top floor. Head down to Leni and ask her to move the log so you can crawl into the next section. Next, make your way to the surface and reach the temple entrance. Approach the green gate and watch the cutscene.

Follow Leni to the next gate, after which Sophia finds herself in the past. Move forward alongside the soldiers until the vision ends. Cross the body of water using the zipline and enter the next part of the temple. Here there's a pedestal into which you need to insert the Sphere you found earlier, after which two mirrors rise up from the ground. Now you need to solve a puzzle with the sunbeams:

In the next hall there's another lens puzzle, only harder:

Go to the lens located between the frescoes of the city and the Minotaur, and turn it toward the mirror Leni is holding.

Return to the platform and place the Sphere on the pedestal, after which it will descend into the underground chamber. Examine the king's sphere and open the door leading to the surface.

Griffin statues line the path to the sanctuary. Reach the third pair and turn left, since there's a dead end ahead. Pass the Venetian camp and descend toward the gate — but at the last moment, you'll need to use the grappling hook in time so you don't fall into the chasm. Cut down the squad of soldiers and open the gate.

Place the Sphere into the mechanism, after which you'll be able to use it to illuminate hidden paths and hints (Caps Lock key). Now you need to solve a puzzle with three pedestals, on which you must set specific symbols. You can find them on the walls using the Sphere's light. In the solution below, we've noted the letters that most resemble the symbols from the hints:

Approach the giant stone statue, turn right, and descend the scaffolding to the next puzzle. Here you need to use four mirrors to direct a beam of light onto the gate. Proceed as follows:

Turn right, climb the ladder onto the ledge above the entrance, then step onto the pressure plate. This gives you your first sunbeam. Wait for Leni to take Sophia's place, and head down to the lenses.

Run to the end of the corridor, crawl under the rubble, and climb out to the stands. Turn right and head down to the pikemen. After the fight, open the door to the next puzzle. Here you need to set the correct symbols on the plinths. On the floor is a disc with a maze. Shine the Sphere's light on it to see the correct path from the pillar to the right symbol. Set the letters as follows:

As soon as the gate opens, soldiers will attack you. Fend off the assault and head down the long tunnel, and at the end, step into the darkness and move forward until you reach the next location. Get outside and run down to the next door. Here you'll need to get through a series of five trap puzzles.

Stand on the circle marked with an eye and use the Sphere's light to examine the symbols on the floor and walls. You can only step on the panels that appear both on the wall and on the floor. Pay attention to the second symbol from the right. The same glyph appears in the first row. That means you can safely cross along the left row here.

Here all the required symbols from the wall are repeated on the floor, so step only on the following panels:

This time you need to stop a spear trap by choosing the correct symbol. Different symbols are shown on both sides, five of which you haven't seen before. The correct symbol is the scales.

This time there's a giant hall filled with spikes. On the right side is a sun lens; help your companion climb up to it, then stand on the circle marked with an eye. Leni will shine light on Sophia, after which you need to take out the Sphere and follow the blue line. At the end, climb up to the gate, turn left in front of it, and break the partition.

Climb out to the surface with Leni and run without stopping, because a spiked ceiling will be descending from above.

On the right side there's a crevice in the wall that opens a passage into a tomb. Activate the pillar with the Sphere and descend to the sarcophagus. Grab the Kopis blade, move down the tunnel, and turn left at the end. Open the next door and enter the hall of spears. Lower the lever and let Leni through, then cut down the squad of soldiers, whom you can knock onto the spikes. Wait for your companion to deactivate the trap, then squeeze through the rubble. Reach the round platform and place the Sphere into it.

A short cutscene will play, after which you'll be transported into the body of the ancient Greek hero Theseus. Reach the arena and fight the Minoans until the vision ends, then descend to the giant platform. Here there's a Minotaur puzzle where you need to correctly illuminate the symbols on the walls.

Symbols are placed on the platform and the walls to serve as hints. Now you need to perform a series of actions in the following order:

As a result, a plinth will appear between the right and left hands. If you run into trouble along the way, you can check out a more detailed walkthrough of the bronze Minotaur puzzle in a separate guide.

Place the Sphere on the pedestal, after which soldiers will attack Sophia. Take out the enemies and activate the mechanism once more, then cross the bridge and approach the boat. Next, roll the iron ball forward and ride the platform down to the second trial, after which the next story chapter begins.

Enter the Temple of the Minotaur and place the Sphere on the pedestal, after which it will gain another light-focus mode. Inside the mechanism are three crystals — red, blue, and green — each emitting a beam in a specific part of the spectrum (switch the Sphere's modes with the 2 key). Here you need to redirect these beams so they hit the stones of the matching colors. Remember that Sophia must be standing in sunlight at this point.

Head down to the lower part of the ruins and cut down the soldiers, then pass through another gate marked with a bull. Kill the shield-bearer, help your companion up, and activate the monument with the Sphere. This opens four doors, each with a symbol above it. Your task is to find the required hieroglyphs in these temples, then return here and set the symbols correctly to open the main door. Below, we'll describe each path in detail.

Reach the gate and try to open it, then turn right and climb the ladder. Inside the complex, you'll need to solve a puzzle with the Sphere and descend on a rope. Here you must destroy the crystals with sunlight, then set the colored lenses correctly.

Turn the red lens on the left toward the rightmost reflector, then direct the beam onto the matching receiver.

Here you need to perform a series of actions:

The mirror you need is located opposite the green lens.

A mechanism will appear in the center of the area; activating it reveals the symbol you need. You don't have to memorize it, since this hieroglyph gets recorded in Sophia's book.

Enter the sanctuary, turn right, and move quickly forward across the platforms. At the end, drop down to the ground, turn right, and climb up to the tile puzzle, then cut down the Venetians. Take note of the sequence of symbols:

You can only press the plates in this sequence; if you make a mistake, Sophia will die on the spikes. Picture this field as five squares wide and seven squares long. Now move across these panels:

At the end, activate the mechanism and descend the cable on the right. Climb the ladder to the green door and insert the Sphere into it.

Climb up to the gate and stand on the sunlit circle, then take out the Sphere and turn the colored beams as follows:

Next, turn the mirror to clear the gray crystals, then set the colored beams as follows:

In the next hall, you need to destroy the crystals and stand on the sunlit circle to arrange the beams. Then move across to the next platform and light up the stones once more. The beam positions are shown in the screenshots below.

On the third platform, you need to cross the tiles while lighting your path with the Sphere's light. Then arrange the colored beams as shown in the second screenshot, return to the center, and leave the area. Climb up to the monument and sketch another symbol. Head right, use the rope, and open the gate with the Sphere.

Return to the main hall and set the following symbols on the plinths:

Interact with the fourth plinth by the axe symbol, after which Leni is taken prisoner. Faro orders Sophia to guess the last symbol, and then you're transported into a Theseus vision. Descend to the arena and take out all the enemies, then watch the cutscene where Sophia falls into the underground and her companion is left hostage with Faro.

Pick up the magical Sphere and head forward until you reach the next location. A monster dwells here that reacts to Sophia's movements in the dark, so you'll need to move quickly between lit areas. Keep in mind that the creature can't be fought.

At the end of the area there's a dark stretch where you need to move while crouched so that Sophia doesn't leave a blue trail behind her. Hide behind cover and stay out of the creature's sight. Next, you'll have to climb into a pipe, where Sophia runs into the monster again. At that point, you need to go back and hide in the lit recess on the right.

In the next location, you need to flee from the monster by leaping across gaps. These jumps slow the monster down a little, so try not to run in a straight line and switch between platforms often. At the end, Sophia will fall into a ravine, where you need to get past a giant wheel and climb into the upper part of the cave. Here you'll again have to hide in lit spots and behind cover. Make your way through the ravine and get through the level with the enormous gears.

Now you'll arrive in a location with columns. At the end of the path, Sophia will hit a dead end of crystals, so look to the left and smash the flimsy wooden box containing a reflector. Clear a path for yourself using the sunlight and enter the labyrinth, then watch a vision of Theseus and pick up Daedalus's Key.
