New objective: Take back the mansion
Turn right and go up the stairs, reaching after a while one of the mansion's outer balconies. Listen to the conversation with allies, from which you'll learn that aunt Sarah is hiding in Jackie's bedroom. Join the shootout here, remembering that your main goal is to eliminate enemies with reflectors and to avoid blinding grenades.
At first you might think that the only way to reach further areas of balcony is to hide behind low walls and shooting at enemies but you can also grab with your left tentacle large shields found on your way and depending on your preferences throw them at enemies or use them as covers, providing safe way of moving through the area. Eventually you have to reach the stairs leading to the upper mansion's balconies.
After getting to the upper balcony you'll meet not only regular enemy but also an opponent wielding a large shield. By default you can't grab it from him and only way to deal with him is to destroy the outer case of his shield. It is best to use a firearm to do this, shooting at him from a safe distance. After destroying the outer case run towards him in order to pull out his shield with the left tentacle. After that you can throw away this shield or keep it for next fights.
Move forwards, finding ammo and using the stairs. Now you have to turn left, preparing for next fights, because the area is full of opponents. Watch out for guys with reflectors and bandits pressing for a melee fights. Avoid also blinding grenades.
Go ahead but be ready to attack enemies who will come running from inside the building. Watch out particularly for a thug with a shield. Try to destroy its outer case as soon as possible and then pull out the shield from enemy. After securing balconies, go inside the mansion, killing a single enemy and picking up ammo hidden behind the left counter.
Be very careful, because the exit from this room is illuminated by a lamp. You can solve this problem in two basic ways - by showing yourself to enemies and encouraging them to come here or by running towards the fireplace and destroying the generator which powers up the lamp.
You can move forwards. After reaching the kitchen turn left to explore the adjacent room. You'll find there relic (The Blinding Sun - 14/29). Return to the kitchen and now go to the left. After a while you should get to the well-known Jackie's office, where you'll have a short conversation with Jimmy.
New objective: Save aunt Sarah!
Pick up ammo and move towards the main chamber of the mansion. I suggest using the left stairs immediately and after getting to the floor you might run to the right, reaching one of the bedrooms (the one which belongs to Jackie's aunt is not available). This is the best solution in my opinion because if you stay at the ground floor, you wouldn't do much, because doors are locked automatically after you character goes through them.
Start the fight, remembering that your priority is to eliminate enemies with reflectors. After dealing with opponents on the floor you can take care of those, who are standing at the bottom. Because you are higher, eliminating them should be very quick. After the fight choose a corridor leading to the Jackie's bedroom. After reaching the place, the game will display a new cutscene, during which aunt Sarah dies.
