How to keep Duke alive in Metro Exodus?

There are 3 important choices in the Volga that will determine the chapter's ending. To help Duke survive you have to:

• Escape from the Church unnoticed. After swimming into the Church, reach the upper floor. Escape through the window when the guards start knocking on the door. You now have to sneak and stun enemies. Reach the boat and swim away.
• Steal the boat in the boat without killing the traders. Sneak and stun the traders. Steal the boat without killing anyone.
• Reach the cult leader without killing his men. Inside the cult leader's headquarters, focus on sneaking. Reach the leader unnoticed. Don't kill anyone with your knife - this will have a negative impact on the ending.

Completing these steps will give you the Duke trophy/achievement where Duke and Artyom will escape to the Aurora at the end of the chapter.
