Nobility Quarters | Mission 7 - Manipulation Styx: Shards of Darkness Guide
Last update: 07 July 2017
This is not the end of the mission yet. You still have to eliminate one more target. First, jump down and over the rocks, make it over onto the neighboring balcony. In the room, there is a single guard - Avoid him and leave the room.
Here, first take down (it is the cheapest with sand or bolts) two flying insects and climb over handholds by the door to the higher level, where you can jump towards the ambassador.
Unfortunately, he is in constant movement and you have to take him down silently. Jump over the walls at the upper level and follow him into the living quarters. Over the rope, walk onto the tenement and jump across the window into the ambassador's room.
Unfortunately, the dwarf is followed by his guard, and nobody can see you kill him. There is an easy way to do that, though: the dwarf keeps pacing between desks. While he is passing by the torch, throw sand at it and fir the bolt at the ambassador and hide quickly. Once things quiet down a little you can plant the dagger on him (you can also do that by activating invisibility).
Hint: to speed things up, you can also try masking your smell, if you have obtained the recipe in mission 5.
Optional: drag the ambassador into seclusion
There also is another way - approach the desk and plant a document. After he has read it, the ambassador will go to a meeting place that has been marked. He will be alone there, which is why you can eliminate him without any problems.
Escape on the hot-air balloon
Over the rope, make it over to the balloon, but watch out for the guards - this area is well-lit
The escape should not be any problem. Over the rope, return to the tower and make it over near the other rope leading straight to the location with the hot-air balloon. Before that, grab onto the edge and wait for the guard to do her beats, or she will spot you while on the rope. Alternatively, you can knock down a barrel to distract the enemies.
