Tips and Strategies

Kill the Watchers First

Kill all the Watchers first once you get inside the Estate. We also recommend killing them stealthily to avoid alerting the Ravager and deal with them more efficiently. Make sure you have the Silent Strike, or you won't be able to go for a stealth kill!

Craft Fire and Freeze Arrows

All Machines, except for the Watchers, are susceptible to fire and weak to freezing. Stock up on Fire Arrows and Freeze Arrows and use them to exploit the Machines' weaknesses to progress on this quest smoothly.
