In Chapter 2: Felons, the easily missed Bracelet charm sits in a small chest on the ledge where you pull down your first archer with the Grapnel — shimmy across the gap, turn left, and open the chest before you push on toward the enemies.
Chapter 2: Felons drops you into the Venice rooftops right after the ambush at the church, and the escape doubles as your first Grapnel-pull tutorial. That tutorial rooftop is exactly where the chapter tucks away its Bracelet charm, hidden inside one of the game’s notoriously tiny chests. Blink — or bolt straight at the enemies you can hear up ahead — and you leave it behind.
How to get the Bracelet charm in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
STEP 1/6
Land from the rooftop traversal
You drop onto the rooftops during the escape, at the start of the Rats in a barrel sub-chapter with the objective Go help your crew at the arsenal.
STEP 2/6
Take the first rope
The very first rope you reach is the one you want — ride it across toward the archer’s perch.
STEP 3/6
Pull down the archer with the Grapnel
This is the game’s tutorial for yanking an enemy off a rooftop, so hook the archer and pull him in to clear the perch.
STEP 4/6
Shimmy across the gap
Move along the narrow ledge to reach the spot where the archer had been standing.
STEP 5/6
Turn left instead of going straight
You’ll hear more enemies ahead and want to rush the combat, but stop and look to the left, where a small chest sits against the wall next to some barrels.
STEP 6/6
Open the chest to grab the Bracelet
The chest is tiny and easy to overlook — open it to claim the Bracelet charm before you continue.

What the Bracelet charm does and where it’s filed
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Chapter | 2: Felons |
| Sub-chapter | Rats in a barrel |
| Objective marker | Go help your crew at the arsenal |
| Effect | Slight chance for critical strikes to deal more damage |
| Recoverable | Yes, via Chapter Select |
The Bracelet is a Charm, filed under the Bracelets category in the Charms tab of your inventory. Its effect is a slight chance for a critical strike to deal more damage, wrapped in the flavour line “The heavier the hand, the stronger the strikes.” That’s an old gang proverb. No exact percentage is published for that bonus, so read it as a small, situational edge rather than a build-defining number.
One thing that trips people up here: when you open the menu on this rooftop, it may briefly land on a different charm called Alec’s Pendant, whose effect is to boost other charms’ chance. That is not the Bracelet — it’s just whatever the menu happened to highlight first.
Why the Bracelet is so easy to walk past
The whole trap is timing. The moment you finish the shimmy, the audio cues push you forward — you can hear enemies, the game has just taught you a fun new combat toy, and the instinct is to sprint straight into the fight. The chest is off to the side, in the one direction you’re least likely to look.
It doesn’t help that chests in this game are extremely small and blend into the scenery, or that there’s no map to flag a nearby collectible. So the single mistake to avoid is charging ahead: pause, turn left, and clear the ledge before you engage.
The second you finish the shimmy across the gap, turn left and check the wall by the barrels before you touch the enemies — that half-second is the entire difference between grabbing the Bracelet and missing it.
Other Chapter 2: Felons collectibles to grab
| Collectible | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Beads charm | Sub-chapter 2, The carnival: after Leni lockpicks a door and you pass two pigs, squeeze through a gap and turn left to a small wooden box. |
| Serenissima Banner artefact | Sub-chapter 2: before the bridge guarded by two soldiers, turn right to find it down at the docks. |
| Bombasin Mask artefact | Sub-chapter 2: in the large plaza full of people, head around the right side to pick it up off the floor. |
| Falchion blade | The chapter’s single blade, found along the main Felons route. |
| Resonance Point chest | Sub-chapter 4: awarded automatically when you open the story chest. |
Key Felons packs a full spread beyond the Bracelet — a second charm, two artefacts, a blade, and a Resonance Point chest — so it’s worth slowing down for the whole chapter rather than sweeping back just for the one trinket.

Frequently Asked Questions
If I already ran past it, can I still get the Bracelet later?
Yes. The charms here aren’t permanently missable — load the chapter through Chapter Select, walk back to the archer ledge, open the chest, and back out to the menu, or simply pick it up on a New Game+ run, where all collectibles carry over. Nothing is locked out for good.
Is the Bracelet charm actually worth going back for, or is it just cosmetic?
It’s not cosmetic. Unlike a souvenir or artefact you collect purely for the log, the Bracelet changes how you fight — that extra chance for a critical strike to hit harder rewards an aggressive, combat-forward playstyle, which is exactly the direction this entry leans. If you’re building around strikes and crits, it’s a genuine pickup, not just a completion tick.
