    Attic: Enter the attic, stay behind boxes as guards enter. Wait for one guard to investigate a noise, then pass behind him and enter a vent.

    Workshop: Observe guard patrols from the vent. Cross behind cover when safe. Navigate around metal grates and look through the window to see the red crank. Exit into the engine room.
  4. 4
    Steam Engine: Wait for a guard to move onto the metal grate. Hide behind the big wheel, then move to the red crank. Hide behind the middle wall and activate the crank to mask noise.

    Upper Grate Area: Immediately sneak up the stairs. Cross the grate while the wheel is active. Use moving boxes to reach the ladder on the right.

    The Pub Entrance: Grab a note on a barrel near the vault gate. Climb over the gate. Look through the window into the warehouse.
