Part 63

Discover every coin, painting, and valuable in The Grand Palace. This guide details loot locations across floors 1F through 5F, including Duke Abele's office and private chambers.

Alright, let's dive into the Grand Palace and see what treasures we can snag. This place is packed with loot, so we'll break it down floor by floor. Keep an eye out for those tables – they'll show you exactly what you can grab and where.

The Grand Palace: Interior (2F)

Before we head up, there are a few things on the second floor. You'll find a gambler in the billiards room who's sitting on some coins, and more cash can be found on the bar countertop and the gamblers' table. Don't forget to check the floor by their seating area too. There's also a guard on the terrace by the throne room, and a woman overlooking Abele's vault on the south terrace. Sometimes, the guard on the 2F throne room terrace might not spawn, and depending on whether an entryway wolfhound elite spawned earlier, you might be short 20 or 40 coins.

The Grand Palace: Interior (3F)

Moving up to the third floor, you'll find Duke Abele's office and Delilah's bedroom. Start with the office. It's got coins on the desk, and the cabinet next to it holds oil and lucky sphalerite. You'll also find a bloodfly husk and a painting by the fireplace. Keep an eye out for the Blade Conversion blueprint in a drawer between the library shelves. If you took down Jindosh non-lethally, there's an audiograph about it on the main desk – it won't appear if you killed him. There's also a secondary desk with the combination to the First Captain's Office safe on 1F, so make sure to go back and grab that rune!

Across from the office is Delilah's old quarters. Sometimes the Duke himself spawns here with two elite guards, or you might find a few maids instead. In the bedroom and parlor area, you'll find coins on a cabinet near the terrace, sphalerite on a desk, and a corrupted bonecharm in the bathroom cabinet. Don't miss the Delilah painting in the piano lounge – it's easy to overlook!

The Grand Palace: Interior (4F-5F)

The top floors are Abele's private chambers. On 4F, you've got a hottub room, the double's bedroom, and a... unique central area, plus stairs to the 5F study and another bedroom. Abele or his double will always be up here. Grab the loot first! The hottub room has salts and coins, and the double's bedroom has more coins and an ingot in a metal chest. There's also angelfish scales near the bed and bathing salts in a sink cabinet. A guarded terrace has some coins, and the 5F study has an egg statue and desk coins. The private 5F room has a minor audiograph and a rather... striking self-portrait.

Note: You'll need the double's key to open the chest in his bedroom.

You can even address Karnaca yourself using the microphone by the circular 4F bed. The scene changes depending on whether Abele is alive or not. Be warned, though – using the mic will summon guards from the other floors to investigate, so it might be riskier than it's worth.

Dealing With The Duke

Now that we've looted the place, it's time to deal with Duke Abele. You have two main options: you can simply kill him whenever you find him, or...
