Long Drop Full Stop | Jobs - Basso Thief Guide

Employer: Basso [Stonemarket - Basso's Office]

Availability: You get the opportunity to start this mission after you have completed the fifth chapter of the game. You need to meet up with Basso at the Crippled Burrick tavern.

Your destination has been shown in the above screenshot - it is located in the Southern part of the Stonemarket district in [Stonemarket - Blackfurrow]. Before you start this side mission, you first need to make sure that Garrett is equipped with, at least, one Rope Arrow and the Wirecutter, because this mission will be impossible to complete without these.

Unfortunately, to reach the place where there is the pen, you will have to spend some extra time. Start by from the main level, somewhere to the North of the, seemingly, inaccessible window, which is high above and leads to the destination point. Select the Rope Arrow from the inventory and shoot it towards the interactive catch shown in the above screenshot. At the same time, ignore the fact that the rope does not extend to its full length and that you will not be able to grab it straight away.

You need to get onto the rooftops of the nearby buildings, now, and you can do that, e.g. by taking the nearby ladder (you need to lower it first). Examine the wooden platforms to the North-West of the destination point, thanks to which you will be able to locate the box shown in the above screenshot, which you need to use the wirecutter on.

Grab on to the rope and leap towards the window

Using the wirecutter will lower the nearby wooden bridge, which you need to take. The last thing that you need to do is leap towards the rope that you have extended earlier and leap onto the nearby balcony. Force the window open and walk into the apartment [Stonemarket - Hangman's Apartment].

The secret room

The exploration of the apartment itself is not problematic. Collect the Picture Frame - 5G and examine the row of books. Press the button to unlock access to the secret room. The pen (Basso's Pen) is on the table. Apart from that, you can find here a Fork - 2G, a Knife - 2G, Surgical Scissors - 20G and a diary (Stonemarket - Hangman's Memoirs). At this point, this mission ends.
