Chapter 2 of 1348 Ex Voto takes you through a mountain trail leading to a distant keep. On your way, you visit caves, ruins, and an old tower filled with Briganti raiders. You can collect herbs, food, upgrade papers, and sword parts like the Impera Pommel, Impera Grip, and even the San Leone trinket located inside a church. After clearing your enemies and exploring all the hidden areas inside the church, you continue your mountain trail until you reach the bridge leading to the keep, enter through the stables, and trigger the chapter-ending cutscene.
Chapter 2: The Mountains
The game now pops you at the beginning of a mountain range. Keep following the path and you will eventually see a keep. Go to the right and drop down.

Climb and keep moving along the stony path; keep to the left, and you will see an old dwelling. Drop down and loot the place.

Go through to the right and climb up the ledges. Vault over the fallen log and climb the next set of ledges and then drop down. Go past the broken cart after looting the food around the carts. Go through the small archway and into and open area to fight a Briganti.

To the left is another ledge and around the corner are stairs leading to more Briganti. Take them out and head into the cave. Climb up the ledges here and go through. You will see an abandoned tower now. Go inside and loot the paper. You cant climb up so go back out and take the path on the left up the hill. You will see a cave. Head in.

Climb up the ledges here and you will be behind the tower. Pick up the herbs from the ground and go in. Climb up the stairs and observe the path below. On the left is a table with an Impera Pommel, a sword part to improve your sword.
