Prologue | Walkthrough Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This is the introduction to the game. Here you are going to learn the controls and overall gameplay mechanics. As soon as you take control of your character follow Wesley. While he is showing his documents, take a look around the room to find several letters that reveal some information about the story.

Go through the gate and give your documents to the guard. After a brief cut-scene keep following Wesley.

Follow Wesley to the railway, and once it has reached its destination, go out and head toward the exit shown in the picture. At the end of the corridor enter the elevator and go down to the lower level. Now the game will provide you with key information about combat.

In the next room you will see two guards, whom you have to kill. You can do this silently or traditionally. Sneaking is an important gameplay element, so it is good to learn it right now. Approach the guard from behind and press the button as prompted on the screen, in order to silently eliminate the man. You can also take the second option and simply shoot the guard in the head.

Regardless of how you do this, after killing the two guards you should look around the room to replenish supplies. At this moment you can unlock you first perk (Health upgrade I). In order to get it you have to collect most of the aid kits in the room quickly enough for your health bar to reach value 200. Here you will also find an ester-egg referring to Skyrim.

While Wesley is talking, use the time to replenish your armor (helmets, vests). On the wall between the two rooms you will find a big shotgun hanging there - take it to unlock the new weapon. The same is true for the machineguns lying on the floor.

When you have collected enough supplies and are ready to move on, approach the radio in the middle of the bigger room, and use it. Now you will face a rather tough fight (depending on the difficulty level). Hide in the porch on the right or the one on the left (see the picture), so that the Nazis could not attack you from both sides. You have to be careful, though, of grenades that may be blowing around you quite often.

Most of the enemies is simply going to charge at you, so keep you weapon ready. After the attack, leave the room, and you will be able to see snipers lying in wait on elevated platforms. Once you eliminate them you will be free to proceed to the next level.

After replenishing supplies, climb up the ladder lowered by Wesley. On the upper floor, on the right, you will find a collectible letter from the prologue - it will be lying on the table. After collecting this, follow Wesley and proceed to the next level.
