Chapter 31: Comstock House: 31

As soon as you enter, run to the far end of the room and pull the switch. A cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will play.

After the flashback sequence, walk up to the door to the right of the desk and interact with it.

After another short cutscene, run to the new hole in the wall and look below. Jump onto the freight hook below.

From the freight hook, leap back down to the platform with the control panel. The bridge will now be activating, so run across to the far side.

Use the hooks to descend from the tower and follow the bridge to the far side.

When you reach the other end, run up the steps to where a tear is. When it disappears, enter the building and run up to the next tear ahead.

Continue through the next door.

Climb up the stairs on either side of the large statue and work your way to the door on the far side of the room; there is another tear here.

Once the tear vanishes, go through the door. In the room beyond, you will encounter Mannequins directly in front and a Boy of Silence on the other side of the central partition.

The Boys of Silence are only found in Comstock House. They have a metal helmet with large earpieces and act like security cameras. They survey the room, and you can tell where they are looking by the spotlight. If detected, they turn red, sound an alarm, and teleport, causing nearby enemies to attack.

Mannequins are partially phased-out citizens with masks, found in groups of 8-10. They are passive until a Boy of Silence alerts them, then they rush you with melee attacks. They are weak individually but dangerous in large numbers. If alerted, draw them into large circles and use traps.

It is possible to go through the next few rooms avoiding the Boy of Silence and not entering combat.

However, the first room is an exception as you cannot reach the door without being spotted. Shoot the Boy of Silence to trigger its alarm and defeat the Mannequins that attack.

Once all enemies are dead, loot the room and use the intercom on the door the Boy of Silence was guarding.

Enter the lift that appears behind you. Inside the elevator is another tear and a Voxophone [1/1].

Once the tear disappears, hit the button to ride up to the next area.
