Chapter 4 of A Plague Tale: Innocence, titled "The Apprentice," follows Amicia and her younger brother Hugo as they journey through the French countryside during sunset, searching for the alchemist Laurentius. Following their narrow escape from the monastery, they traverse a landscape filled with both the dangers of the pursuing Inquisition and the spreading plague. The siblings navigate around a heavily guarded bridge blocked by Inquisition soldiers, finding a safer, quieter route through the woods and along a stream. The chapter features a briefly calm moment in a garden where Hugo attempts to play hide-and-seek, highlighting his desire for normalcy despite the traumatic circumstances, though Amicia is forced to keep him focused on survival. As darkness falls, the threats increase. The Inquisition retreats in panic, signalling an approaching danger, while Hugo suffers from a severe, recurring headache. This chapter introduces new ways to interact with the environment to combat or evade the increasing rat swarms.
