Part 24

Begin by dealing with the guards around the street and station steps. Tranqing them is an effective method to avoid detection. Start with the guard in the street-side booth, as his disappearance may draw others closer.

Two guards (booth guy, station sidewalker) carry coins totaling 30. The booth guard is closest to the sewer stairs and does not turn around, making him an ideal target for theft. If crossing the street is too difficult without supernatural powers, you can wait or use a hidden path on the opposite side of the station.

Proceed into the alley between Aventa Station and the southern buildings. You will find angelfish scales on one outdoor table, and raw whalebone and springrazors on another.

In the walkway area with NPCs, you can access a three-story apartment. On the second floor (2F), the bathroom cupboard contains bath salts (15), and the store cash register has loose change (11). A safe contains ingots and sphalerite (165); look for two combination numbers on a chalkboard hidden by breakable glass. The third number will require trial and error.

The third-floor (3F) apartment is more secure but accessible from the balcony above the alley. Inside, you will find a returning portrait, "The Spymaster's Axis of Asymmetry," and a Bango Coastline chart on a desk. The bathroom cupboard contains bath salts. Do not forget to steal the black bonecharm in the small parlor.

Continue down the alley to the station's western square, known as the "Howler ambush zone." Four enemies are waiting, along with a Howler.

To collect loot without engaging in combat, find a high vantage point like a rooftop. Tranq the obvious Howler, then repeat for any enemies drawn out. Those with upgraded Blink or Far Reach skills can access the mine car on the rails for precision sniping. The woman may respond to shots but will not count as an alert.

You can use the overgrown front area of Aventa Station as a shortcut into the Howler ambush zone, or vice versa. Be cautious of booby traps.

After neutralizing the enemies, collect their loot, which includes 50 coins spread among three Howlers, and a pouch near a rune. You can also find howling bolts, which blind enemies.

Enter Aventa Station itself, ideally via the 3F alley balcony. For players without powers, this method is still viable with a rewire tool from the black market.

Upon reaching the roof, two guards will arrive by carriage. Break part of the sunroof to enter before they hear you. Existing guards inside may hear disturbances, though they do not actively patrol.

The arriving guards carry 30 coins. A rune is located on the 2F cargo stack. The locked ticket booth contains loot but requires a key that is not currently available. Deactivate the wall of light.
