Preparing for Chapter 13, “As One” — What to Do Before Entering the Labyrinth
Entering the labyrinth without upgrading your gear is a bad idea. Sofia relies on her combat approach and careful parrying, so it’s worth running through the workbenches beforehand.
Preparation checklist:
-
Obtain the Minoan Sphere. This Daedalus artifact is critical for manipulating light in the Dark Sectors.
-
Level up 6 Mastery trees. To earn the “Like a Warrior” trophy, you’ll need to accumulate at least 165 of 200 Resonance Points.
-
Upgrade the Tungsten Rope (Grappling Hook). This upgrade allows you to instantly pull armored opponents and reduce their stamina.
-
Equip the Resonating Hilt. Increasing the perfect parry window from 4 to 6 frames is a lifesaver on Hard difficulty.
-
Check your amulets. Collect a maximum of 30 Charms available in the game to equip your heroine with defensive bonuses.
All collectibles in the labyrinth – 100% completion map
Chapter 13 hides exactly three valuable items: two Artifacts and one Charm (Amulet). Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy contains a total of 275 collectibles (37 Artifacts, 30 Amulets, 8 Blades, and 200 Resonance Points).
Chapter 13 “As One” Walkthrough
The route follows the white rope trail, but is sometimes interrupted by ash and Petrified enemies.
-
Enter the Labyrinth. At the very beginning, stick to the left wall until you see the first traces of the white rope.
-
Activate the Brazier (Brazier / Lantern). Disperse the ash curtain to reveal the continuation of the path.
-
Collect the Cretan Fresco. Enter the sunken section to the left of the main corridor.
-
Solve the Reflector puzzle. Use the light beam from the Minoan Sphere on the central bowl to open the grate.
-
Proceed through the corridor with Petrified enemies. Don’t waste resources—these enemies are static until you step on the fragile slabs.
-
Collect the Seal of Daedalus. On the second level of the main hall, turn the reflector on the Ring pedestal.
-
Use the Grappling Hook. Grab onto the upper ledges when the white thread leads to the broken bridge.
-
Collect the resource kit. Before descending into the inner sanctum, clear the two side rooms.
-
Collect the Minotaur’s Feather amulet. Run into the secret alcove before the large gate.
-
Pass through the crevice. Sofia will experience a flashback with Theseus—you’re at the threshold of the arena.
-
Activate the central mechanism. Place the Minoan Sphere in the socket to initiate the battle.
-
Defeat the Minotaur. Complete the three phases of the battle using time shifts.
-
Complete the chapter. Watch the final cutscene and access Chapter 14.
How do the dual timeline mechanics affect the battle?
The Dual Timeline switches the arena between the Plague of 1334 and the Minoan Era. Sophia literally relives Theseus’s memories. A stone column, crumbling in the medieval era, stands intact in ancient times. Lure the boss to a place where a trap once stood and switch eras—the monster will instantly lose its stability.
Battle with the Minotaur—Strategy and Phases
Sophia is not a frightened child, but a seasoned raider. In this fight, you need to play aggressively with parries and arena control through the Minoan Sphere.

The Myth of Theseus and the Minotaur – How the Chapter’s Plot Connects to the Ancient Greek Legend
The plot of Chapter 13 is a direct homage to the ancient myth. The white rope path Sophia walks along is a replica of Ariadne’s Thread. The developers at Asobo Studio make no secret of the fact that the heroine is following in Theseus’ footsteps on the Island of the Minotaur.
It’s interesting how the narrative designers have brought the story full circle: the game essentially begins where the thread ends in mythology. Sofia takes on the role of an ancient Greek hero, but instead of blind revenge, she conquers fear with logic and light.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many Resonance Points can be found in Chapter 13?
There are approximately 15 Resonance Points hidden in Chapter 13 itself, but the exact locations depend on exploring the side branches of the labyrinth.
Can I skip collectibles and return for them later?
Yes, after completing the game, Chapter Select unlocks, where you can collect the two Artifacts and one Charm you missed.
What difficulty level should I choose for the Minotaur battle?
Medium is suitable for my first playthrough. On hard difficulty, the parry window without the Resonating Hilt will be too narrow.
