22

1010 Despite the objective warning about detection, it is actually fine if the guards see you. You can fight and defeat them without failing the quest. The only thing to watch out for is the QTE (quick time event) that triggers if a guard wrestles you to the ground. If you fail the escape button prompt twice in a row, you fail the encounter. Just press the prompted button quickly when it appears and you will be fine.

1414 The recommended entry point is the roof. Climb up the side of the manor building and make your way across the rooftop. Look for a balcony below and drop down onto it. From the balcony, enter the upper floor through the door or window.

1818 On the upper floor, walk down the hallway and look for a section of wall that looks visually different from the rest. It has a slightly different texture or color compared to the surrounding walls. Walk straight into this wall, and it rotates to reveal a hidden room behind it.

2828 Optional: Lower Floor Memories
2929  
3030 On the lower floor of the manor, there are blue ghost memories that you can inspect using your lantern. These provide additional lore about House Azerian but are not required for quest completion. If you want the full story, check them out before or after finding the secret room.

3434 The roof entry bypasses most of the guards, making the infiltration straightforward even if you prefer to avoid combat.The rotating wall is the only hidden passage in the manor. If you are having trouble finding it, walk along every wall in the upper floor hallway until one gives way.Reading the Investigation Report in your inventory is required. Just picking it up is not enough; you need to open and read it.The alliance with House Azerian has consequences later in the story, so pay attention to the cutscene dialogue.
