Step 5: Explore the Brekker's Hideaway
Explore now the central part of Darktown and search for the inconspicuous passage to the [Darktown - Arlan's Hideout] location #1 (M23, 9). Shortly after reaching the new location (M55, 1), you'll be attacked by a group of thugs. Fight them but watch out for a standard trap set in this area #2. Try to disarm it creating more space for fight.
After eliminating your opponents go up the stairs and head north. Soon you'll run into new enemies led by Coterie alchemist #1. He should die first but attack him only when he is not surrounded by a protective barrier #2. Watch out also for Coterie rogue who joins the fight after a while.
Use the stairs again, but now head east. It is good to save your progress after reaching the bigger hall #1, and that's because you'll meet Brekker soon #2 (M55, 2). You both will have a short chat.
Step 6: Kill Brekker
Regardless of dialog option you choose #1 you'll have to fight Brekker and his men. It would be good to attack Brekker first #2 and that's because he is an assassin. But be careful because at least one more Coterie rogue might appear. Finally kill all standard thugs. Fortunately most of them have short health bars which make them die fast.
Step 7: Report back to Hubert
It is of course good to look around the area and examine Brekker's body (he wears Avvarian War Boots). You can find also more valuable items here. Use the exit located near the stairs #1 (M55, 3) and return to the [Hightown - Market] location during the day. Talk again to Hubert #2 (M3, 9). You'll get 5 sovereigns as a reward for solving the problem. It is worth noting that if you've released Sabin during his questioning you can now go to the [Bone Pit] location and search for his hiding place south of the miners' camp and get some pieces.
