1348 Ex Voto: Chapter 1 – Prelude Collectibles Guide
In 1348 Ex Voto, you will collect sheet of paper. These sheets of paper count as skill points, so you can upgrade your health, guard and unlock new attacks, amongst other things. They are scattered throughout the chapters of the game as you play. Some easy to find, some a little more well hidden.
We have listed the locations we have found below. There may be more to find in a level and if so we’ll do our best to update the guide as find more. The + numbers next to the location title is how many ‘skill points’ you’ll receive in each location.
Papers (1 / 2) +10
This one is pretty easy to get. After the first couple of duels you’ll reach a burning building. You’ll have to enter it from above and walk precariously across the wooden beams to the others side. You’ll drop down and follow the only path round, up a slight incline until you come to a courtyard in front of a church with two enemies outside.
Defeat the enemis and head inside the church (this is the way you need to go). At the back of the church is a lectern with a candle on it. The papers can be found on there for +10.
Papers (2 / 2) + 15
Not long after the church, you’ll crawl through some ruins to progress. You’ll encounter a solo enemy in front of some food stalls in another courtyard before heading up some steps. At the top of the steps, you can enter a building to your right that has lots of food in its back room (if you need the health boost).
Continue past that and you’ll turn right up a small set of steps. On your left you can see a barred doorway, and the papers through the gap. Carrying on, you can either take a left or head straight forward. For the papers, take the left, going past the doors with the white ‘Xs’ on them to indicate plague in those houses.
Follow the path round until you reach a hole in the floor and drop down.
You’ll see the papers (+15) in a wooden box on a shelf, pretty much where you drop down. After collecting them, you can use the wooden crate that’s in there with you to get out. Just move it out so you can climb on to it to climb to the ledge above.
And that’s all for Chapter 1 – Prelude. Stay tuned for more paper and trinket locations in 1348 Ex Voto.
