New Main Quest: Search the Madam's Office to find Emily's location
New Main Quest: Eliminate Lord Morgan Pendleton in ivory room, upstairs
New Main Quest: Eliminate Lord Custis Pendleton in smoking room, upstairs
On the groud floor of the club, you will find the reception desk, and it's worthwhile to look around for gold, book and the Golden Cat guest ledger. Thanks to this, you will be able to determine that Morgan Pendelton is staying on the first floor in the Ivory Room, and Custis Pendelton is on the second floor in the Smoking Room.
You can access the club's basement only by stairs, whose use is exclusive to hotel guests, as long as this is not the location in which you started your exploration. In the basement there is dressing room that is currently being occupied by two courtesans. You can find gold here, and explore a rtorage room to the side (can be opened with a key from Madam, or accessed though a hole in the wall. Inside there are Sokolov's health elixir and Piero's spiritual remedy.
After you reach the first floor of the club, you will probably witness Madam's conversation with on e of the guards. After it finishes, it's worth going to Madam's office located near the staff exclusive stairs (the above screenshot) First of all, I recommend that you steal the Golden Cat master key from her, and render her unconscious. Thanks to this, you will be able ro ransack her office. In the office there are gold, another copy of the Golden Cat guest ledger, Sokolov's health elixir, two Piero's spiritual remedies and a note (Golden Cast Master Key), thanks to which you will learn that Emily is being kept in the dormitory.
New Main Quest: Find Emily in the dormitory
Stay on the first floor and explore its northern part. Wath out, at the same time, for any hostiles around. These are guards, above all. If you are planning on eliminating hostiles, remember to carry the bodies away and conceal them. This will prevent any prospective alarms. Look around for gold, food, Piero's spiritual remedy, a book and a rune hanging on a wall (the above screenshot).
You should eventually reach the main area of the club (the above screenshot). Also here, you need to watch out for guards and courtesans, save two ladies dancing at the stage. If you want to ensure yourself with a better position for planning firther moves, you should move to the upper part of the round, metal structure with the use of Blink (teleportation). It is also worthwhile to explore this part of the club to find gold, food and Piero's spiritual remedy. Ignore, for the time being, the Ivory Room with Morgan Pendelton in it, because it is good to wait with the decision to eliminate him until all of the solutions are available.
On the rims of the main area of the first floor there is a staircase leading down to the Steam Room - the above screenshot). It is an entirely optional area located on the club's ground floor. You won't find anything special in there and, additionally, you would have to watch out for two guards and a courtesan. It is wrth adding that the guard accompanied by the courtesan can be eliminated in a pretty nasty way. Namely, you need to take the valve handle from the table and put it into the slot, and then turn it. As far as the exploration itself is concerned, in the Steam Roomyou can find gold, food, a note (Steam Room) and a rewire tool.
New Optional Quest: Persuade the art dealer to reveal his safe combination
New Optional Quest: Return to Slackjaw with the safe combination
Return to the first floor and find the door leading up to the Silver Room. Inside, you will find the Art Dealer connected with the side quest received from Slackjawa. Start torturing torturing the dealer by pulling the lever over and over again. After the Dealer wishes to finish the play, pull the lever two more times and select the upper-right dialogue option, which will earn you the safe combination. You may now leave the room (I recommend against carrying on with torturing the dealer, or you can bring about his premature, unnecessary demise)
Remain in the club's main area and find the stairs to the second floor ( the above screenshot). I recommend that in here, you ignore the door to the Smoking Room, at least until you unlock all of the possible solutions to the current quest. Explore instead the remaining part of the second floor, but watch out for two guards and a courtesan (fortunately, two out of the abovementioned should be standing by balustrades). In the main area of the second floor, there are gold, food and a note (Smoking Room). Inside the optional Gold Room there also are Sokolov's health elixir, Piero's spiritual remedy and gold.
Irecommend that you now start the exploration of the building's top floors, and since it is concerned with the compulsory quest consistiong in rescuing Emily, skip now to the subsection entitled Rescue Emily.
