Dishonored 2: Explore Jindosh Mansion's Upper and Lower Floors

AntMag.NET

Alright, we're diving deep into the Jindosh Mansion now. This part is all about thorough exploration, grabbing every bit of loot, and understanding how the different levels connect. We'll be covering the second floor (2F) and then dropping down to the basement (B1). Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, let's get to the second floor. If you're coming from the dining hall, look for a way to reach the maintenance hallway above the smoking lounge and mural room. If the pool table is hidden, you can use it as a platform to get up there, powers or no powers.
2
Once you reach 2F, keep an eye out for a workbench on your left. There are 8 coins there.
3
Continue along the shuttered walkway heading north. This gives you a great view of the Waiting Room below, where you'll overhear two civilians chatting about clockwork. There's a drawer in this upper area with 3 more coins.
4
You'll notice a maintenance shaft nearby that connects 1F, 2F, and a crawlspace below. This crawlspace is important: it's where you can find a bonecharm, disable an arc pylon, and access the elevator shaft. If you have powers, you can also Blink or Far Reach onto a 3F steel beam for 5 more coins – it's easy to miss if you don't!
5
Now, let's head back towards the Waiting Room. You'll see two civilians. It's best to tranq them both. After that, drop down to take out the sleeping lobby guard. If you're quick and quiet, he won't even wake up. Grab the 6 coins from the fountain near where the guard was.
6
Time for some loot! Each civilian you tranqed is carrying coins. In the Waiting Room itself, check a cabinet for avocet feathers and a sofa for a pouch.
7
There's an office directly above the Waiting Room with even more loot, but you'll need to reconfigure the room to get to it. Pull the lever, then hop out. Inside, you'll find a fan in the display case, a pouch in the desk, and some valuable blueprints also on the desk.
8
Pro Tip: You can actually reconfigure the Waiting Room from the 2F level you're currently on, the one with the bird's-eye view. If the civilians are still awake when you do this, they'll get deposited near the B1 Assessment Chamber. It makes stealing their stuff easier, but having extra witnesses down there might not be the best idea. Just something to consider.
9
Don't worry, reconfiguring the Waiting Room doesn't alert Jindosh, no matter how many times you do it. It's another one of those safe actions.
10
Now, let's head down to the basement (B1). There are several ways to get there: the dining elevator, the mural room table platform (which drops to the kitchen), the Waiting Room itself acts as an elevator, or through a hole in the 2F 'roof' of the Waiting Room.
11
The basement houses the kitchens, the Assessment Chamber, and an elevator directly to Jindosh's laboratory. The lab elevator is blocked by a wall of light for now, so we'll focus on what's accessible.
12
Near the dining room elevator area in the basement, you'll find three guards. Two of them are carrying pouches. There are also some coins (15) in the cistern, sitting on the base of a steel support pillar. If you don't have powers, you'll have to exit the cistern on the kitchen side, which is usually fine.
13
The kitchens themselves have two civilians. They're pretty spread out, so you can likely take them out without them noticing each other. While there's a lot of food, the only real loot here are three withered ryegrass stalks on a counter.
14
Next, let's access a tricky bit of loot. Reconfigure the Waiting Room elevator to descend. When it's down, slip into the crawlspace under its support beams. You can grab a whale oil canister here. If you can't reach it this way, you can start on 1F, enter the area where the bonecharm and corpse were, go under the Waiting Room, and pull the lever there.
15
Remember, reconfiguring the Waiting Room elevator won't alert Jindosh.
16
Finally, make your way to the Assessment Chamber area. Signs by the elevator will point you in the right direction. In a steel console cabinet down that maintenance corridor, you'll find another pouch.

Tips

Always check workbenches and drawers – they're common spots for coins.
Using the environment, like the pool table or reconfigurable platforms, is key to accessing higher or different areas, especially without powers.
Tranqing civilians and guards from a distance is a safe way to clear areas without raising alarms.
Don't forget to check the cisterns and fountains for hidden coins.
The blueprints found in the office above the Waiting Room are a valuable find.
Pay attention to environmental details like wall holes and crawlspaces; they often lead to hidden loot or pathways.

Numerous coins, pouches, avocet feathers, a fan, blueprints, withered ryegrass, and a bonecharm.
