Reach Baron Northcrest's estate in Auldale | The City Thief Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You will now return to the clock tower [Stonemarket - Clock Tower Plaza]. Perform all of the standard actions and leave the tower. To reach your current destination, you need to cross Baron's Way South again. You could get there by taking the passage to the South, but it is a better idea to take the one suggested y the game, i.e. the one located on the upper balcony, within a short distance of the clock tower (to the East of the tower and to the South of the Crippled Burrick tavern). Forcing the window open will get you inside the watch office [Stonemarket - Watch Council Office].
If this is the first time that you are in the building, it would be a good idea to explore it, because there are a lot of items. In here, you can find a Flask - 8G, three documents (Stonemarket - New Instructions, Stonemarket - Watch Report 3-498 and Stonemarket - Traitorsgate Report), a paper (Lockdown!), an Ink Bottle - 8G, a Letter Opener - 6G, a Pen - 10G and the Baron's Bust - 60G, which is stored in the safe. Force the window, at the lower level, open thanks to which you will leave the watch office [Stonemarket - Baron's Way South] and start crossing Baron's Way South over the planks above the street level. This will allow you to walk around all of the guards in the Southern part of this location.
Walk over the wooden beams, carefully, make sure that nobody is looking your way and jump down. Now, go to the North-West, thanks to which you will reach [Stonemarket - Market Street]. There is a small tunnel here, which runs between two main areas in the location that you are exploring right now. Enter the tunnel but, you do not need to hurry to leave it, because there are opponents to the East of here.
You can walk around the abovementioned enemies in two different ways. The first variant assumes that you sneak past behind their backs, after you use a throwable to distract them. The second variant is a bit more difficult. Wait for the opponent with the crossbow to start walking away, approach the crates quickly and swoop to reach the stack of crates. This you will manage to avoid being spotted by the other guard on the right, but you need to watch out for flames and avoid the situation in which Garrett catches on fire.
The final part of this path is very easy and the good news is that Garrett will not encounter anybody else in his way. You need to reach the interactive gate and confirm that you want to go to Northcrest's estate, which will start the next chapter in the campaign mode.
Note - before you set out to the estate, make sure that you replenish all of the basic supplies. It is also a good idea to make sure that you completed all of the side missions (Basso and Vittori should have some new jobs for Garrett).
