Make your way to the surface (finally)

First, wipe the platform where you fought Krauser. You will find one vegetable and a red spice on some boxes on either side of the platform.

Take the (very slow) elevator on the north side of the platform. On the way you get a call from Ada.

When you get off the elevator, turn left. There are two Blue Note requests on the left wall – Jewel thief And The shame of the Salazar family. Continue to the left to find a vase with some pesetas. Enter to visit the merchant and save to the typewriter.

He won’t have anything new to sell and you probably won’t have any treasures to sell either, so just fix your knife and body armor and move on.

Before we take the gondola (cable car?) out, go right and unlock the door back to the ballroom. Before you step through, turn to the left and open the briefcase on the table for a small key.

Throne room request

Go back through the ballroom and return to the antechamber. Various fanatics and spider parasites are waiting for you. Take them and then enter the Throne Room.

Look inside on the right for the Chronicles of Pursuit 2 file and a vase with pesetas. Go left and smash the chest gunpowder.

Go up the stairs and turn right to find a Square Lock Box. Flip the cubic device down twice to unlock it and grab one Golden chicken egg. The Memo from the housekeeper 2 file is just on the left.

In the back right corner, take the Boot knife of the portrait and smash the vase to the left for some pesetas. Continue counterclockwise and smash the vase next to the throne for more pesetas.

On the left side of the room, take the Ramon’s confession file and smash the vase for more pesetas.

Ramon’s portrait is in the northeast corner of the room, to the left of the throne. Grab one of the chicken eggs nearby (why are there chickens in the throne room?). In thetrait to finish the The shame of the Salazar family Request.

Courtyard Request

For the Jewel thief Request, you must go back through the Great Hall and into the Courtyard.

At the bottom of the stairs, continue west and around the corner as if you were heading for the merchant there. The bird’s nest you’re looking for is above the doorway in front of you to the north. Shoot it down and you’ll get the scratched emerald on the way to that Merchant.

Sell ​​the emerald to the merchant to complete the request (you can also sell that golden hen’s egg while you’re here). Go all the way back to the ballroom.

Go to the clock tower

From the Ballroom Merchant, go outside to the gondola and ride it to the Clock Tower. When you arrive, cut to the right and smash the vase for some pistol ammunition And pesetas.

Go up the stairs, knock the chest and vase to the left rifle ammunition And pesetas. Push through the large doors to the north. Head down the hall to the circular room for a quick cutscene.

Deal with the zealots that attack next. Before going up the stairs, sweep the ground floor for three tons pistol ammunition And pesetas. Dive behind the southwest wall to find a chest with a gold bar inside.

In the northwest corner, look on top of the boxes under the stairs for Clockwork Castellan 11 of 16.

As you go up the stairs there is a barrel on the first landing with more pesetas and another one on top with resources (S).

Go left to the next corner and smash another barrel for more pesetas. Turn left and look above the blocked stairs for a lantern with a alexandrite.

If you go back to the center of the room, the giant statue will start breathing fire. Retreat to your corner and pay close attention to the back of its head – it contains an explosive barrel.

Shoot it to disable the head. Go back past the flaming head and climb the ladder there. Turn left and smash the barrels for some more pesetas.

Follow the walkways across the road, take out a few more fanatics and smash the next barrel for some pistol ammunition.

Go up the stairs. Ignore the zealots and barrels as best you can because another fanatic on top is about to send Indiana Jones a spiked ball down the stairs at you. Go back to the walkways and wait.

Go back up the stairs. Grab the pesetas from the shattered barrels and stay to the left to wait for another spiked ball. Keep going upstairs.

Dive into the cage alcove on your left and deal with the zealots. Smash the barrel for some rifle ammunition and wait for another pointy ball. Keep going up and bear left.

You’ll encounter an arbalist in another niche around the same time the next ball rolls through. Smash the barrel there for some pistol ammunition.

At the top, take out the zealot who controls the lever. If you see any more zealots coming up the stairs, throw the lever yourself to drop one last spiked ball to take them out. Smash the barrel to the right for some gunpowder.

Go back up the stairs – they’re blocked, so you won’t get very far. At the gate turn left. Smash the barrel by one green herb and open the chest there for a Mirror with Pearls & Rubies.

Drop off the ledge in the middle and smash the barrel on your left pesetas. Go to the right and smash the barrel there for more gunpowder. There’s a chest behind that barrel with a Extravagant clock inside.

The lever in the middle of the floor raises the elevator you’re standing on. Before you flip the lever, reload all your weapons (and craft some shotgun ammo if you can). During the ride up you will have to deal with a lot of fanatics. Watch out for exploding barrels to help you along the way.

You’ll also have to watch out for the pair of zealots dressed in red – take them out as soon as possible to avoid too many plagas popping up.

Flip the lever and fight your way up.

At the top, take the stairs up and through the door. Follow the walkway out to the left to find binoculars. While you’re here, shoot any fanatics you can see.

As you turn the corner, look for the higher part of the jetty. At the top hangs a lantern with a yellow diamond. Bend as you cross the fragile planks on your way there.

Trader

On the other side, go left to find a barrel with pesetas. Dive through the door to find a Merchant room. Look left for one yellow herb and a ton pistol ammunition. Climb the ladder behind the wall to find some first aid spray and two barrels of pesetas and another first aid spray.

Sell ​​the Elegant clock, MirrorAnd Gold bar along with any velvet blue you have. However, before purchasing tune-ups, read the next section on preparing for the upcoming boss fight.

The Merchant will mention that you must complete any remaining tasks before continuing – this will end your time in the castle. If you missed something, now’s your chance to go back.
