Walkthrough
Infiltrate Windmere Manor
Approach the manor. Travel to the quest marker at Windmere Manor.
Climb to the roof. As with the previous infiltration quests, the safest approach is climbing the exterior walls to reach the roof.
Drop to the front balcony. From the roof, drop down onto the balcony. Enter through the balcony door while staying out of sight.
Assassinate Count Byron
Navigate upstairs. Byron is in his office on the upper floor of the manor.
Maintain stealth. Stay behind cover and avoid guard sight lines as you move through the hallways toward the office.
Execute the assassination. When you reach Count Byron, use the assassination button (Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox) to eliminate him. The prompt appears when you are close enough and undetected.
If You Are Detected
Getting spotted by guards before reaching Byron results in expulsion from the manor. The guards will tackle and throw you out. However, this is not a quest failure. You can reattempt the infiltration as many times as needed. Each attempt resets the guard positions.
Notes
This is the third stealth infiltration quest in a row (after Blazing Fire and Whispering Shadows). The rooftop-to-balcony approach works for all three manors.
Unlike Sungrove Manor, Windmere Manor requires staying undetected until you reach Byron. Fighting guards here leads to expulsion rather than simply continuing the quest.
Count Byron does not fight back. The assassination is a single-button interaction, not a combat encounter.
After completing this quest, the tone shifts from stealth to dialogue and eventually large-scale combat for the remainder of the chapter.
