A Plague Tale Requiem: All Feather Locations

The Ornithologist Trophy is tricky to get, and getting All Feathers in the game unlocks it.

Among the many collectibles, you can now collect Feathers in the game, which will be worn by Hugo. In today’s guide, I will cover All Feather Locations in A Plague Tale Requiem, which will also allow you to achieve the Ornithologist Trophy. The Feathers are spread across the map of Provence. As you progress your story, you will find them along your path.

Key Takeaways
  • Feathers are a new kind of collectible that can also be worn by Hugo as a cosmetic, added in A Plague Tale Requiem.
  • These Feathers can be found in various places around the Provence.
  • A Plague Tale Requiem has 7 Feathers in total, which include:
    • Jay.
    • Black Headed Gull.
    • Black Kite.
    • Barn Owl.
    • Raven.
    • European Goldfinch.
    • Greylag Goose.
  • Once you collect all the Feathers in A Plague Tale Requiem, you will be awarded the ‘Ornithologist Trophy’.

1. Jay

  1. In A Plague Tale: Requiem, during Chapter 6, titled ‘Leaving All Behind,’ after unexpected twists, Amicia and Hugo get separated from the crew.
  2. The First Feather is found at the beginning of this chapter, near a Lone Big Tree in an open green field.
  3. Amicia, suffering from a concussion, cheers up Hugo by challenging him to a race to the tree.
  4. The Jay feather is unmissable next to the tree, and interacting with it progresses the story.
  5. No need to worry about missing the first feather; it’s an integral part of the gameplay.

2. Black Headed Gull

The Second Feather can be found in the 7th Chapter, which is called ‘Felons.’ It is quite likely that you might miss the feather during Chapter 7 because the game does not direct the player in its direction.

  1. On the way to the boat with Amicia, Hugo, and a new companion, along the shoreline, a shed next to a dark cave holds the feather.
  2. Enter the shed, head to the left-wall window, jump through, and follow elevated tracks to a dead end.
  3. Cornered next to the cliff, collect the Black Headed Gull Feather by interacting with them.
  4. This hidden feather adds to your collection.

3. Black Kite

The Third Feather in A Plague Tale Requiem can be found in the ‘A Sea of Promises‘ Chapter. A Plague Tale Requiem’s 8th chapter is pretty short compared to the rest. On top of that, you will get to acquire the feather fairly early in the chapter, which is another plus point.

  • The chapter opens on a ship, where Amicia helps set sail and interacts with companions.
  • Hugo spots an island on the horizon, leading to more interactions and eventually landing on the island.
  • The vibrant island surprises, and Amicia and Hugo head to the market to inquire about a tree near a pond.
  • If you deviate from the main storyline, go to the left side of the market to find a Lady talking to men.
  • Speak to her, then circle behind her and stand next to the Tree on a higher ledge.
  • Collect the Black Kite Feather, which is missable if players don’t explore their surroundings.

4. Barn Owl

The Fourth Feather is found in the 9th Chapter of A Plague Tale Requiem, which is called ‘Tales and Revelations.’ The ninth Chapter is one of the most packed parts of the whole game. It features a lot of action, tension, and storyline progression. Not only that, but the chapter also holds three Souvenirs in A Plague Tale Requiem. Apart from that, the player can also find two Secret Chests during the chapter.

  1. You can obtain the feather while on your way to the Sanctuary.
  2. Amicia, Hugo, and Sophia will reach the sanctuary stealthily to avoid detection from the Count’s guards.
  3. Once you weave through covers and create distractions with the help of Sophia, eventually, you will end up inside a Broken Tower.
  4. The spiral staircase will take you up to continue your journey toward the sanctuary.
  5. However, ignore the main exit from the tower and keep on climbing the spiral staircase until you reach the top.
  6. Climb the ledge after exiting the tower from the top. Now, all you need to do is follow the path until you reach its end, which is where you will find the Barn Owl Feather in A Plague Tale Requiem. 

5. Raven

In A Plague Tale: Requiem, the Fifth Feather is found in the ‘Bloodline’ Chapter, requiring progress through the 10th Chapter.

  1. In the ‘Raven’ section, as Slavers hunt you, navigate carefully through the area to reach the Old Temple.
  2. After using the grapple hook to break open a door, proceed down the path and make a left turn at a fork.
  3. Find a small tree, loop around it, and fall down from the ledge to reach the cliffside against the shore.
  4. Follow the track to its end to discover the Raven Feather.

6. European Goldfinch

The Sixth Feather can be found in the 11th Chapter, which is called ‘The Cradle of Centuries.’ Unlike some of the other feathers, this one appears midway through the chapter. That means you can freely roam and progress your story during the starting phases of the chapter without any worry.

  1. However, once you reach the Underground Area and begin exploring it, that is when you need to be attentive.
  2. As Amicia, Hugo, and Sophia explore the dark temple ruins, engaging in dialogues, they reach a point where they struggle to find an exit.
  3. Sophia places a Tank to blow up a door, creating an opening to proceed.
  4. After going through the blown-up door, in the top-right corner, notice an explosive barrel through a tiny gap.
  5. Shoot it to open a hole that Amicia can crawl through, leading to the collection of the European Goldfinch Feather.

7. Greylag Goose

The Final Feather can be collected near the end of the game. To be precise, you will find it in Chapter 13, which is titled ‘Nothing Left.’ Since it is near the end of the game, I will try to refrain from giving out any information that may spoil the story for you.

  1. While keeping things straightforward, the last feather is found as Amicia, Hugo, and Lucas go to where the Belfry fell.
  2. Jump down and go through a Burning Flower-decorated Archway.
  3. After passing through, find a small chest to the left for looting.
  4. In the next doorway, notice a Pushable Cart on the right; push it towards the door the trio came through.
  5. Be cautious not to progress the story by going to the highlighted ledge on the other side; instead, push the cart toward the left ledge.
  6. Climb the ledge to find the Greylag Goose Feather, completing your feather quest.

The Ornithologist Trophy

After collecting all the Feathers that I mentioned above in A Plague Tale Requiem, you will unlock the Ornithologist Trophy. Obtaining the feathers in the game is a lot trickier than the flowers. The game only holds one unmissable feather, and the rest can be entirely missed by players who don’t like to explore the areas.

That’s all I have to offer you today! I hope my guide that covers Locations for All Feathers in A Plague Tale Requiem proves to be helpful. There’s nothing more satisfying than completing the collection of a certain collectible in a video game. In addition to that, if you’re aiming for that high-tier Platinum Trophy in A Plague Tale Requiem, then this guide will assist you greatly!
