Gain access to the Baron's estate | Chapter 6: A Man Apart Thief Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Before you read on, I recommend that you take another look at the map, at the first page of the walkthrough for chapter six, because it informs you of all the possible passages into the manor. At the same time, it is worth noting that the map of the garden, which you have stolen from one of the opponents (the central balcony), also contains information on the whereabouts of possible routes.

You can access the Baron's villa in three different ways. Variant A assumes that you get in through the sewers. It is the most time-consuming way, but the upside of this method is that you will not have to spend additional time on exploring this place nor on avoiding the guards. Start near the central balcony, which neighbors the inaccessible main entrance to the manor, and note that there is a door under that balcony (the Northern and the Southern side). Enter and start by collecting the Gear - 6G. Interact then with the valve here, which will shut down water.

Leave and start by exploring the ledge under the balcony above (the place where water has been flowing out of the hole) and find the Gold Coin - 1G - Gain access to the Barons estate - Chapter 6: A Man Apart - Thief - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Leave and start by exploring the ledge under the balcony above (the place where water has been flowing out of the hole) and find the Gold Coin - 1G. return to the starting point, i.e. to the Northern part of the garden. Stopping the flow of water resulted in unlocking the sewers descent shown in the above screenshot.

pick up the Knife - 6G and jump down into the drainage [Northcrest Manor - Drainage]. Use the lockpicks to open the gate and go ahead. The linear corridor will lead you up to a bit bigger location, where you will have to start climbing. For your endeavors, you will be rewarded with entering the cellar of the manor [Northcrest Manor - Cellars].

Note - After he jumps down into the drainage, Garrett will not be able to return to the gardens the same way. Therefore, you should make sure that you have explored all of the locations around the estate, thanks to which you will not have to return to them later in the mission (after you access the cellar).

Variant B assumes that you take the main stairs to the cellar and they are located in the place shown in the above screenshot, i - Gain access to the Barons estate - Chapter 6: A Man Apart - Thief - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Variant B assumes that you take the main stairs to the cellar and they are located in the place shown in the above screenshot, i.e. in the side alleys that run alongside the building's walls. Around the stairs, there, unfortunately, are three guards, but after they end their conversation, two of them will go patrolling the area. The best method here is to use throwables to attract the attention of the enemies (especially of the one standing at the stairs) and to jump over the balustrade quickly. Taking the stairs will result in reaching the manor's cellar [Northcrest Manor - Cellars].

Variant C assumes that you use a rope arrow against the estate's attic. Also in this case, you need to take the side alleys located in the North-Eastern part of the gardens and avoid the three guards mentioned above. Ignore the stairs to the cellar and keep going ahead, to the North, while using a throwable or Swoop, to avoid being spotted by the guards. Apart from that, do not approach the dog cage, located in the left.

Stop after you reach the scaffolding and use the claw to climb onto one of the columns here. Now, select any arrow and aim it at the crane element shown in the screenshot, which suspends a large crate. The successful shot will result in detaching the crate, which will drop to the lower level.

Make sure that your recent actions have not alarmed any of the guards, jump down and climb onto the crate that used to hang down from the crane - Gain access to the Barons estate - Chapter 6: A Man Apart - Thief - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Make sure that your recent actions have not alarmed any of the guards, jump down and climb onto the crate that used to hang down from the crane. Look up and select the rope arrow, send it towards the catch shown in the above screenshot. You can now jump towards the rope and start climbing. Jump towards the small balcony and force the window open, to be able to access the attic [Northcrest Manor - Attic].
