Tips
  • Floor 3 has four more archers to steal from, one per separate corridor stretch [PP 2, 3, 4, 5]. Use vine arrows to get behind them stealthily.
  • You can collect items in the Exhibition Rooms by climbing down vine arrows instead of disabling traps, but it is fiddly.
  • If the archer on the Ballroom balconies gets stuck in a short, looping patrol, reload the game.
  • Be aware that patrolmen may enter the Ballroom and get stuck (a bug related to saving and reloading), potentially increasing the number of guards.
