Use the KEY to open LOCKED DOORS in the Butler's Quarters. In the Under-Butler's Quarters, find 5 GOLD in a CHEST (39/0/0|39).
4
Use a water arrow to extinguish a torch near the window. This will cause guards to complain, allowing you to pass unseen and facilitating Basso and Jenivere's escape.

In the Workshops (north), find a flash bomb and 5 flares on a shelf.

Tips

The mission is designed to teach core stealth mechanics. Focus on mastering sneaking, hiding bodies, and using the blackjack.
Collect all loot, especially gems, as it funds future missions.
For Expert difficulty, you must blackjack at least eight people. Basso and Jenivere cannot be blackjacked if you want to complete other objectives. You can knock them out after other objectives are met.
Use water arrows to extinguish torches to create darkness and distract guards.
Pay attention to hidden buttons and shelves for secrets.

The primary reward is progressing to the next mission with sufficient funds and having successfully completed all objectives, including the bonus objective of finding the wedding rings if applicable.
