Rewards: 5000 experience points, 150 trust points

Atilla's house is located on a hill, near a large cliff.

This quest will activated shortly after you complete the Anomalies plot mission. After some time from the moment when you leave the cave, Faceless will contact Crane over the radio. He will ask the hero to search the nearby mansion to find an ethnographer called Atilla. The mansion is located in the south-eastern part of the map. When trying to reach it, you will meet several monsters, but you don't need to eliminate them now. Climb the high wall and reach the area around the building.

All the entrances to the mansion are closed, but you can solve this problem by entering from the back. Reach the edge of the cliff, look down and locate the wooden platform that you can see in the screenshot above.

You have to move the wardrobe in the basement.

Notice that there is a small cave right under the mansion. Go inside and locate a ladder that will get you to the basement of the building. Use lockpicks to break in. In the next room, jump onto the box and move the wardrobe that is blocking your way. Now you can start exploring the mansion to find multiple secrets, or reach the room where Atilla is right away (it is located on the top floor). Talk to the man to receive further instructions.

It is best to use a crossbow to kill the mutant.

Leave the building (unlock one of the door from inside). Return to the area west from here that you went past when going to the mansion. Before you try to restore the power, eliminate all the monsters here. You will have the most trouble with the large mutant. Try to first get rid of his helmet (use for example explosive bolts or throwing stars). Then, use a gun or a crossbow (a better idea) to eliminate him. A single bolt in the head should be enough.

You begin restoring the power supply by checking the power cord that runs through the whole mansion. The route of the cord is marked yellow on the mini-map. Start near the power pole on the courtyard (the one on which you fought with the mutant) and follow the red cord. Sometimes you will have to climb up the buildings or go inside. You have to find two places where the red cord was damaged. They are shown in the screenshots above. Near each damaged part, you need to press the interaction key so that Crane can fix it.

The fuse boxes are located on the power pole and on the top of the large metal tower.

Now you have to change the fuses in two different places on the courtyard. The location of the fuse boxes are:

• On the power pole where the beginning of the red cord is - climb the top of the nearby building and jump onto the pole.
• On the balcony of the metal tower - you have to climb up or use the grappling hook.

Lastly, head to the building with the generator and start it. You can go back to Atilla and talk to him. You will receive a new quest - An Unfinished Story.
