Here's a quick guide on how to prepare for your first Esbat in 1666: Amsterdam.
Your first Esbat in 1666: Amsterdam can be a big step up from the investigation sections. No longer searching for clues around the city, it’s time to put what you’ve learned to use and face the threat head on. Planning ahead can make the encounter so much easier and keep you from going in with no plan.
Complete Your Investigation First
You should properly investigate your target before you go into an Esbat. Don't just rush through the investigation to get to the confrontation, because the investigation phase gives you useful information about the Original.
Look around, talk to people and look at clues that you come across. The more information you collect, the better prepared you will be when the Esbat begins.
Get to Know Your Area
Familiarize yourself with the location a little before the confrontation. Knowing where the buildings, alleys, rooftops and other ways are can be useful when you need to move fast. You don't have to know every street in Amsterdam. Just concentrate on the area around your goal and look for possible routes you can take.
Remember Your Skills
Before beginning the Esbat, think about what skills Aaron has that might be useful in a variety of situations. It's better to know your options before you're under pressure and have to figure them out.
As you’re investigating, if you’ve been using Aaron’s cat, remember it can also help you look at some situations differently. Part of the strategy is to time your powers. If you hit the right time, you have more options in the encounter.
Be Aware Of Your Environment
Esbats are not a good time to ignore everything that is going on around you. Observe the surroundings and be conscious of where enemies or other threats are. If it gets crazy, don’t get moving without a plan. Use the area around you and find a safer position before moving next.
Avoid the Rush to Confrontation
Once the Esbat begins it can be easy to go after it right away, especially after all the time you spent tracking your target down. Also, rushing in can make you vulnerable.
Stop and think about what is going on before you make your next move. If something unexpected happens, a little patience will buy you more time to respond.
Final Thought
Getting ready for your first Esbat is mostly about doing your homework in advance. Finish your investigation, get to know the district, remember your abilities, and don't rush into confrontation. The first Esbat is much easier once you know what you’re dealing with and where you can move.
