Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Boiler Room: After escaping through the vent, find a note on a table and collectible 1 (Rosmark’s Gate and Bastion) on a poster. Exit through the door after waiting for a guard to pass. Speak with Aunt Mary and climb the ladder.
  2. 2
    Attic: Stay behind boxes as guards enter. Wait for one guard to investigate the trap door, then pass behind him. Enter another vent on the left.
  3. 3
    Workshop: Observe guards from the vent. Wait for the guard near the metal grates to leave. Descend the stairs, avoiding metal grates. Look through the window to see the red crank wheel. Exit through the door into the engine room.
  4. 4
    Steam Engine: Wait for a guard to go up the stairs. Hide behind the big wheel, then move to the red crank wheel area. Hide behind the middle wall and wait for the guard to pass. Interact with the crank to turn on the machine. Immediately sneak up the stairs onto the upper grate area. Cross the grate while the guard investigates the crank. Use moving boxes to reach the ladder on the right.
  5. 5
    The Rooftops: Climb the ledge to the left. Note that birds make noise and can be used as distractions. Find a note on a vent. Vault over the gate to the left and proceed to ladders leading back to the ground floor.
  6. 6
    Repair Shop: Walk right past the truck and down the stairs. Find a collectible (Apple Gardens Travel Guide) on a platform up a ladder on the left. Backtrack and go left from where you climbed down. Make noise near the birds to distract the guard. Vault over the gate to the left and grab a note on a table.
  7. 7
    The Pub: Enter through the next open doorway. Quickly run across the yard to the left (hold Shift + M1). Wait for the next revolving guard's back to turn, then walk down the wooden walkway. Find a note on a barrel near the vault gate. Climb over the gate to the left. Enter the warehouse through a vent after navigating the wine storage area. Collect a note and a collectible (Madame Cecilia) inside. Exit the warehouse. Make noise near the birds on the steel roofs to distract guards. Vault over the gate at the back right. Find a note on a crate at the bottom of the stairs. Two paths are available, both with collectibles.
