Run 1: The Prologue and the Village

From the Winters' house through the forest and the first visit to the village, up to the crest gate in the Graveyard.

Run 1 is the full walk on Standard: every file, goat, outhouse and limited pickup in the order you reach them. This stretch covers the prologue in the Winters' house, the forest, and the first visit to the village, up to the crest gate in the Graveyard. Three things close here for this run: the house when the prologue ends, an optional fight during the first lycan attack, and Luiza's House when it burns. Each has a warning just before it. The rest of the village stays open until much later, but the walk takes it as it passes. There are no manual saves until the typewriter in the Church.

Point of no return
Talking to Mia in the kitchen after Rose is in her crib. The scenes that follow end the prologue, and the Winters' house can't be visited again in this run.

It pops as the ball crosses the study's doorway; steer it away from furniture so it doesn't jam.

Before you go back to Mia

Talking to Mia in the kitchen ends the prologue, and the house is never seen again in this run. Check that you have read the Fridge Memo, Ethan's Diary, the Medical Checkup Report and the Old News Clipping, and that Goooaaal! has popped. A photo album and a music box upstairs can be looked at too, but they count for nothing.

Uriaș: Lycan AttackHidden spoiler – activate to revealBossMissablePoint of no returnMinor spoiler
Location
The Village · East Old Town – Keep fighting until the big hammer lycan arrives; he can't be missed. Stay at range and keep moving (sprint never runs out), use the shotgun and set off the red barrels as he passes them. He must fall before the scene that ends the attack. Killing him here also earns Timber, which this guide plans for run 3 with stronger weapons.
Why you can lose it
He can only be killed before the scene that ends this attack; after it, this chance is gone for the run. He comes back later in the story either way.
Point of no return
The scene that ends the first lycan attack in East Old Town, when riders appear. The big hammer lycan can't be fought again until much later in the story.
Requires
Summary
A huge lycan with a war hammer who joins late in the attack. Killing him now drops 35,000 Lei, but a first run rarely has the ammo for it.

Before the lycan attack ends

The attack ends on a timer with a scene, and you don't have to kill every lycan. Once it plays, the chance to kill the big hammer lycan, Uriaș (optional, 35,000 Lei) is gone for this run. Make sure you have the M1897 first; if not, it will be in the Church later. After the scene, pick up whatever the fallen lycans dropped.

Survive the lycan attackQuest step
Location
The Village · East Old Town – Keep the lycans off you with the shotgun, guard when one gets close and keep moving between the houses and the yard below; flour bags can be shot to blind them. Hold out until the scene with the riders ends the attack.

The first big fight of the game. It ends on its own after a while.

About this guide

Three runs of the main game: a full run for every collectible, a fast New Game+ run on Casual with only the knife, few healing items and little Lei spent, then New Game+ on Village of Shadows with the bonus weapons. The Mercenaries opens after the first credits. Shadows of Rose is a separate story from the main menu, played once on Hardcore. Each domain closes behind you as the story moves on, and the whole village closes before the last stretch, so take everything before each point of no return.
