A Plague Tale: Requiem: Perfect Shot trophy and achievement guide

Billy Givens
By

Siblings Amicia and Hugo endure an awful lot of hardship throughout A Plague Tale: Requiem‘s lengthy campaign, so it’s important to enjoy the fun and lighthearted moments as they come. The opening of the game is one such experience, following the duo through a playful day of exploration across the countryside. It’s during this initial chapter of their journey that you can score the game’s first trophy or achievement, titled Perfect Shot, which tasks you with hitting all of the pinecones during a minigame. Read on to find out where to keep your eyes peeled for this one.

Where to find the pinecones for the Perfect Shot trophy or achievement

The minigame required to complete the Perfect Shot trophy or achievement is located in Chapter I: Under A New Sun. As you stroll along the countryside, Hugo will eventually crawl up on a rock and quickly take note of a riverbank down below, which he’ll then run down to. Follow him, and he’ll tell you there are ships attacking his kingdom, at which point he’ll begin throwing pinecones into the water for you to shoot with your sling.

This minigame functions as a way to teach you how the sling works, but you’ll need to hit every pinecone to earn Perfect Shot. Make sure you stay behind the limb on the bank, or else you won’t be able to use the sling, and the pinecones will float on by. Simply aim at each of them until you’ve primed the shot, then unleash it. Make quick work of each pinecone, prioritizing any that are getting close to the limb on the bank.

Eventually, you’ll be interrupted briefly by a boy who asks to play with you, and then the game will continue with even more pinecones. Continue firing quickly, and if a pinecone passes you by, restart the checkpoint immediately to try again. Take note that a cutscene may trigger before you can hit the last pinecone or two if you happen to take too long, so don’t hold your primed shots too long, and be sure to keep a steady rhythm.

When you’ve destroyed all of the “attacking” pinecones, Hugo will rejoin you and hold your hand. Around this time, the Perfect Shot trophy or achievement should pop for you.

The Waterbending technique is a Mythric rarity item, but it's surprisingly common throughout the map if you're thoroughly exploring. It can be found as floor loot or in any type of chest, including Olympus Chests and Underworld Chests. You're likely to even find one in Supply Drops, too.

The Banana of the Gods can be found all across the chapter 5, season 2 map, including in normal chests and as ground loot. However, you'll have an increased chance of scoring some of this Legendary-rarity fruit in Olympus Chests and Underworld Chests. There's even a surprisingly decent chance that you can uncover some by searching basic produce boxes, which can be found all over the battle royale map in houses and other encampments.

Visions of Mana paints a promising picture of the RPG series’ return
Red-haired girl with horns and dragon wing in Visions of Mana

The vibrant settings and character designs in Visions of Mana instantly alerted me that I'd be knee-deep into fantasy, riding on the back of a giant black wolf into the grassy plains of Fallow Steppe. A lush landscape welcomed me as I chatted with my teammates on top of my mount and tussled with little woodland monsters.

I had this experience at this year's PAX East, where I went hands-on with a demo of the upcoming RPG. I never played previous Mana games, but I have enough experience with RPGs and real-time combat to name it one of the most gorgeous, action-packed games I played at the show. The shiny open-world and slick combat I experienced point to a strong comeback for the Mana series coming later this summer.
