This prevents him from witnessing the séance and going insane.įind the Rune in the basement.

This is accomplished by finding the crank-wheel in the basement, in the past timeline and throwing it through the opening in the wall into the flooded room. Next, timeshift to the present, when the opening is larger and enter the room (being careful to handle the bloodflies and nest that are there). Time-shift back to the past, take the crank-wheel and push it through the semi-open door into the adjoining room. Time-shift to the present to get through the door.

Time-shift back to the past, dive down and get the wheel and affix it to stop the leak. In the past, there is a note from Jaime, the caretaker, mentioning that the balcony is unsafe. If you inspect it from below, you will see two support mechanisms holding it up. These are very similar to the elevator cables, with a red, piston-like section which is the weak point. Shoot or otherwise break those red pistons and the balcony is weakened. After time-shifting back to the 1852 timeline, the balcony has collapsed, leaving a relatively easy to climb pile of debris.

This achievement also constitutes the special action Leaky Basement for the mission's score.However, this is not the only way to get on to the balcony. Also note that draining the water in the past means the bloodfly nest is not destroyed, thus is still there in the future. Note that this action can only be done if the present has not been altered from the past, regarding Aramis Stilton's fate. Recovering the rune from on top of the crate in the future will complete the achievement.

In either year, the wheel must be attached to the axle and turned to open the vent and drain the water. Afterwards, the wheel has to be moved to the other side of the door in this room, but whether this is done in the past (by throwing it through the door) or future (by collecting it from the floor in the past and swimming with it into the other room) does not matter. To do so, first enter the past using the Timepiece and grab the crank wheel near the brick wall of the sealed room, then throw it through the small opening. In Stilton Manor during the mission A Crack in the Slab, Corvo Attano or Emily Kaldwin has to recover a Rune from a walled off part of the basement after draining it. Flooded Basement is an achievement/trophy in Dishonored 2.
