Unfortunately, it requires a flashbomb and invisibility potion just in case.
When Cavador is in his room, I have prepared by opening the doors. When all the guards are looking at the same direction, I flash them, knock out Cavador, drink an invisibility potion, pick up Cavador and *whoosh* out of the room. I run down the hallway to a room to wait for the guards to settle down, then I get back downstairs and leave.
The guards never see Cavadors body or me, all they know is that they saw a bright flash and Brotha' C. was gone. ;)
Also, what servant? I've never seen one there.
I shamefully confuse the guard with the helmet with a servant. Probably because of the wierd movement I saw trying to move Cavador in the shadows.

Part 1: (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWkqlBaN3-Y) I screw up once here I decided, I should keep my screwups so people watching don't repeat my mistakes. Also as to nugging that guard, I had to otherwise I would have had to reload completly and that would make me a sad panda :(. Sometimes that guard stops far ahead of the door and you can pass easily other times, you either have to knock him out or nudge him.
Part 2: (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5utuFCWk-6o) I fail 4 times in this :P
Also if you have a hard time seeing in the dark spots, put it in full screen mode.

I don't think that my opion is too valid because of my small ghosting experience and the fact that i play sand-man style. But...I think you need to go slower. Liked the videos.

Yeah I was trying to get it done as quick as possible and upload it all. That is why I made so many mistakes at the throne room cause I got impatent. That's awsome you liked the vids though :P

Again, I guess I prefer supreme ghosting techniques, but here goes some of my advice since you ask.
I like to leave the keys behind. For instance: In the well house, block the door while you relock it to keep it open. Then drop the key at the drunken guards feet, then shut the door. It'll be locked, and in you go.
Otherwise, I think it was a great run. You know where you messed up.
Your throne room action can be a bit cleaner of course. I typically wait until he is facing the gong. As I'm sure you're aware, he only faces one of the gongs. So I wait until he faces the gong, and I make the entire move from the shadows by the door to inside the throne room. I do the same in reverse on the way out. Initially I liked your little spot off to his side on the marble, but it looks as if that spot is sort of hit or miss. There was that once instance in which he saw you out there. Or did he hear you? I'd have to play around with it to know for sure.
Anyway, good run. I enjoyed watching it. If anything, it's a bit faster than my typical Bafford ghost run, but then again I stick around for more loot and I put everything back the way I found it. Post more! I want to see more of your tactics.

:P ty, yeah that spot is kinda it and miss, he dosen't face the gong to the left at all, but I think it's more a "I Was to close to him when he looked at the throne type thing."
As to the key yeah I was thinking that but If I do that for the well house guard I should prolly do that with the other guards I snatch keys from and I really don't know what to do about a pathing guard if I do drop the keys. Or would I just drop the keys next to the people, if they are stationary and not the pathing ones?
Trying craigsleft now HOLY CRAP IS IT HARD. But, im up for the challenge :P.

As for dropping keys, just make sure you drop it on their patrol path. That way, logically, they might find it, check their belt loop and notice it's missing, go check the doors, and find that everything is still locked. They'll just assume they dropped it.
I also lock doors behind me immediately, even if I need to go back through them in a couple minutes. I know the AI won't really check, but I sort of imagine as if they will.
As for Cragscleft, it's a great challenge. I really enjoyed it. All except for the one AI I mentioned earlier in the thread, it's completely possible to supreme ghost this. Just be prepared to push your movement skills to the max, and be prepared to sit and observe patrol paths for long stretches of time. This one won't be nearly as quick as Bafford.

I enjoyed ghosting Cragscleft. I didn't notice any impossible moments. 2 Water Arrows were used thats true but thats not a bust according to official rules. A tricky point is where you need to open Bassos cage and the entrance to the hammer outpost faces one of the inmates. I could not enter the post without alerting the prisoner. To overcome this, its possible to jump and land on the hammers balcony and there is a bit of shadow there from where you can pull the lever that opens Bassos cage.
