Secrets Listing
Total Number of Secrets: 9
1) Outside - Secret Door to Chapel
Just diagonal of the start
point, climb the boxes and
mantle up on top of the small storage shed. Look for a small switch to open a
secret door to the
chapel area (figure 1).

2) First Floor - Short Southern
Passage
By flipping the small switch behind the desk in the office, you can open
a hidden passage between the office and the workshop.
3) First Floor - Room Under Main
Stairs
In the front entryway,
flip the small switch on the back
column (figure 2) to open an
empty room under the stairs (figure 3). Note that in the next level,

4) First Floor - Northern Passage
Use your sword to slash the banner near the
guard room in the northeastern hallway. By doing so, you will reveal a small
switch that opens a hidden door to the secret passage (figure 4). Note that this
is only one way to enter this passage. There are several other methods of entry
to this passage, via the rooms that the passage connects to.

5) Second Floor - Southern
Passage
In the room
with three closets, use the
switch in the middle closet to
access the southern hidden passage. Note that this passage can be accessed in
several other places, namely the rooms that the passage connects to.
6) Second Floor - Secret Staircase
& Clock
Find
the clock between the
library and guard station on
the second floor. Select the cuckoo mechanism that you found in the toolbox, and
then 'use' the
cuckoo on the clock. The clock is now repaired. Now, move
the clock hands to 12:00
and the secret staircase will
open (figure 5).

7) Second Floor - The Library Secret
On
the west side of the 'P'
shelves is a book that will
highlight to open a secret
bookcase (figure 6). This is one of the books that must be "read" to
get the correspondence between Karras and Gervaisius. Note, of course, that this
book cannot be read - it is simply a switch - one that you must toggle to get
that correspondence.

8) Second Floor - Trophy Room & Dining Room
Both the trophy room closet and the dining room closet have a small
switch on the ceiling. These switches open a hidden door that connects both the
trophy room and the dining room.
9) Second Floor - Northern Passage
Flip the small switch
behind the banner in the northwestern
corner of the Trophy Room. A secret passage to the
security control room will open up. You can also access this secret from the
security control room as well (a small switch is located there on the wall). The
northern passage can be accessed through this secret. Note also that this
passage can be accessed from other locations, namely the rooms that the passage
connects to.
FAQ
Q: Where is the secret
staircase?
A: In the southeast corner
of the second floor. The best
way to get there is through
the southern secret passage
and then through the library. Use the cuckoo
mechanism to operate the
clock and turn the hands to
12:00 (figure 5 above).
Q: The mission doesn't end
when I leave the mansion,
even though I've completed
all the other objectives. What do I do?
A: You MUST exit through
to the streets to the east,
not into the backyard on the
west. This means that you have to exit through the "foyer" on the
first floor.
Q: Where is the correspondence between
Gervaisius and the
Mechanists?
A: It's in the library. You must
first read all five books
(locations shown in figure 7), then
find the scroll on the floor
upstairs between the 'M'
shelves.
Figure 7
Q: Why can't I open the
doors to the studies
upstairs?
A: These rooms are inaccessible
until the next mission
Q: Why can't I find the
switch for the obvious
secret door in the third floor security room?
A: This secret is inaccessible until the
next mission (so make sure you remember it).
