The First Templar Walkthrough

The First Templar Walkthrough

The Crusades open before and you and an unlikely ally must quest for the secret of the Holy Grail in The First Templar. But questing is hard work, and so we’re working to put together an in-depth game guide to help you fight through sword-wielding enemies and shake off any flesh wounds you might encounter. You can also get all the battle advantages you might need on our Cheats Rundown page and find out what sort of digital treasures you can earn on our Achievements Guide.

Rekindle your torch, head up the steps on the left side, pull the lever to the left of the archway, head through the archway and light the statue once you exit on the other side.
  24. Send both characters up the stairs on the left side of the area together. Send one character through the doorway (the one without the torch), turn right past the spinning blades in the ground and pull on the lever in the back right corner of the room.
  25. Switch characters and pull on the lever in the back right corner of this room. Switch characters and pull on the lever over to the left (with the Q above it), then switch characters again and do the same. Through this doorway a gate will now be open on the right.
  26. Head back downstairs, rekindle your torch, sprint up the stairs, dart straight through both doorways, turn right under the gate and light the barbeque thing on the right. Send both characters through the next gate and turn right through the doorway.
  27. Switch characters (to the one without the torch) and pull on the lever in the right corner of this room. Switch characters, turn right past the spinning blades in the floor, then pull on the lever to your left.
  28. Head back out into the hallway, rekindle your torch, turn right through the doorway (past your companion), head through the next doorway, turn left up the stairs under the open gate and light the final two statues.
  29. ACHIEVEMENT: Navigate your way with both characters back to the very bottom level of the area (make sure you health-up first). Send on character through the spinning spikes, pull on the lever, switch characters and head through the open gate. Head upstairs where the Holy Grail finally awaits you and you will earn the “Found the Grail” Achievement.
  30. After all of that work, you’ll have to fight the Grand Master again in another boring one-on-one duel. After you defeat him for the last time, you will have the choice to either destroy or keep the grail to end the game.
