I only came across 1 bug, I managed to mantle inside the roof space of building next to the tower when I jumped across from the top of one of the generators, but wasn't able to replicate it so might have been a one off, but worth checking the sloping tiled roof for any holes.

I was able to load a save from just a bit earlier, and avoided that area; luckily there are other ways in without cheating ;)

but might also be AI generated?

Glad you were able to keep making progress on the mission. Good catch with the book! We will fix that in the next patch.

The family portraits are indeed generated by stable diffusion's image match features and lots of iterations. We used screen shots of posed AI as starting points. Cool technology, but mixed feelings about using it.

Thanks for the report! Part of this roof is an exported model which are prone to collision bugs at times, so we will take a look at this.

Be careful, spoilers below...

I continued and found a lot more loot (still missing ~1500) and two 'Secrets' listed in Objectives but not in the final stats (are there more?). I'd missed a couple of "exploded" areas plus others within the exploded world you need the astralux for, plus some safes it opens. You can dispatch the ghosts using some equipment.

I couldn't replicate falling through that tower roof either in several tries.

Nice! Since we don't use the official secret system, completing secret objective(s) does not add to the end of mission statistic. To answer your question there are more secret objectives the nature of which are of course secret.

We through some clip brushes around the problem model in an upcoming patch just to be safe .

Thanks for playing! We will start with subtle hints a go from there:

To start next to The Lady's body there is a journal page describing what you need to escape the spirit real and who has it

If you are past that point Eustace's area can still be tricky to find and we may need to improve this in a patch. He resides on the top floor of the manor, but you can't just walk up to the door. If you have found The Doubled Dewdrop you can catch a glimpse of him as well as path up there if you look back at the manor from this vantage

Super explicit hint:

You need to find the astralux to proceed in the mission and Eustace has it. To get up to Eustace's chamber there are two paths - through a ceiling vent in the library or by platforming up to the top story via the giant break in the manor that spills into the area where the doubled dewdrop is

Once you find this piece, after exploring a bit the others elements may fall into place, but in order to complete the mission you technically only need the astralux.

I'm really enjoying this mission, and very much appreciate all the hard work that's gone into it.

However, while I'm definitely in Eustace's chamber at the top of the manor, I'm unable to find the astralux. There's a little room off to the side with a half opened safe, but not sure what to do there either. Any suggestions?

Look carefully around the base of the bed.

Excellent mission!

I picked up a precursor tablet and a similar precursor note. Is there a use for them?

Not that I found yet, just informational I think?

Looks like Dahenjo’s video covers this, but do let me know if you still need any help with this or other parts of the mission
