Stealth Guide: Sneaking into Aileach's Prison

Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 Hop on the poles to the right of the prison's entrance.
Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 Sneak in through the narrow crack on the wall and climb up.
Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 Eliminate the two archers positioned above the section of the wall you came in from.
Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 Eliminate all of the guards stationed on top of the wall. This prevents complications once you head further into the prison later on.
TIP: You can simply snipe all of them with a Hunter or Predator Bow from this position instead if you have enough Ranged Damage.
Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 Look for a section of the wall with a pole sticking inward. Use the pole to hop to the rope that takes you to the building in the middle.
Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 A guard with the prison key is stationed around the wall. This guard tends to move back and forth a room in the wall.
Wait for the guard to enter the room, then assassinate the other guards nearby.
You can either follow the guard with the key and eliminate him inside or wait for him to return outside.
Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 Look for an opening that has ropes tied across it. Enter the prison cell area through this opening.
Be mindful of a guard that patrols the area underneath.
Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 Continue walking across the hall and eliminate the three remaining guards inside. The prison cells should be clear by then.
Courting the Kings - Sneaking into Aileach
 Unlock the cell doors using the key you obtained earlier and untie Barid and Flann's men.
