in order:

next mission (Lonmore North) there is more info about that miscreant.

one of the vault keys has a note about where it could be, the other is close to an empty jewelery box in a dark room.

Really enjoyed this one! Took my time and really absorbed the atmosphere. The soundtrack was on point. I only wish there could've been more places or rooms to explore. Hard to decide my favorite area, the haunted area was spectacular. Really liked the unique overhead lighting in the mechs on mission 2 and the shadows in the crypt.

The tribute was an extra nice touch!

Plenty of verticality and path choices too.

If I were going to make any criticism, I would say that sometimes the level design felt too grandiose or large to believe it was made for normal-sized people. That could also be taken as part of it's charm too I suppose.

I beat Mission 2 in 3 hours and got 6045 loot, 3 secrets and no Vault keys. I had big problem with getting urn in Catacombs. I knew that I need to use item on body, but it's really hard to find anything in this location with pitch black shadows. In the end I needed item from other place, but there is really no hint what you need to do anywhere. Mansion was huge. Mask protection felt weird as it's 3 unrelated to each other puzzles. You need to find way too well hidden key (I had a lot of luck finding it relatively quickly, because it's location feel unfair). Lever puzzle was the easiest, with a good hint too. And there is random shot into far away target. The hardest for me was loot objective. I spent 1 hour to check the whole city for 700 loot and I only found 2 places: one secret with just purse and other non secret with the rest of loot. It's weird, because both places are hard to get, but non secret place gives much better reward.

Also I never figured out how to bring murderer to jail. I managed to get there, but it's impossible to do it while carrying body. First you need to enter courthouse and to reach window I was forced to stack 4 healing potions. This can't be intended. Then there is this glass passage, which requires perfect strafe jumping, because glass breaks under your feet. But it's impossible to do it while carrying body. So I'm guessing there is some secret passage leading to jail.

Mission 3 was weird conclusion as I thought mask objective was the Garrett's main drive and Mechanist and murderer objectives were just sidequests. But this mission shows that one of these sidequests was the most important part of story.

Overall, I think this is your weakest mission so far. Some stuff necessary to beat missions is just way too well hidden and I wish there was more hints or existing hints would be better. Mission looks great visually and library puzzle was great. I had problem with noticing where can I rope up, because wood texture is very similar to stone texture. Also it's hard to know what floor is marble and what isn't (especially visible in bigger locations: temples, mansion, library). Ground in catacombs doesn't look like gravel, but for some reason it makes this noise. Also both missions have really huge number of unfrobbable doors. I know it's city mission, so unfrobbable door will be present, but it's much bigger amount than in any other city mission. There is many long corridors with unfrobbable doors and only 1 or 2 doors to open. The same story in Mechanist and Hammerite temples. Lonmore is really big city, but I think if it's size was lowered, then it would be possible to pack all the important places into one mission. This would also reduced number of unfrobbable doors and possibly lower lag I had when playing both missions.

you can carry Piran's body just fine over the glass as long as you are crouched and stay close to the walls. just dont drop his body when on the glass - you will stand when you unload him.
