The United India House

The Eighteenth Day of October, 1886

No darkness is quite like London’s, and thus Sir Lucan and Sir Galahad travel under its wet, formidable cloak. As their carriage arrives at the United India House, Alistair assures his partner that proper arrangements have been made for access.

From the start, (1) follow Lucan upstairs to the compound’s back entrance, and then walk into the house when Francis opens the door. Inspect the Greater London Dispatch newspaper (2) on the small side table in the corner. The headline features an account of the Agamemnon crash and destruction of the Crystal Palace.

Enter the next room and inspect the photo (3) on the side table. It depicts Francis, a lance sergeant in Her Majesty’s 12th Infantry Regiment, along with Perceval and Lucan after the 1855 Crimean campaign.

Move across the room to pick up one of the two crossbows (4) sitting on the desk. The Repeating Compound Arbalest is a silent, deadly weapon that inflicts heavy damage and fires with perfect accuracy over long range. Use the left stick to examine the bow until the button prompt appears, and then push to deploy the bow’s limbs. This triggers a cutscene: Lucan grabs his crossbow and the Knights step out onto a balcony (5) to survey the layout below.

Follow Lucan

This sequence is quick and fun. Follow Lucan as he runs between buildings and around a rooftop skylight. When you reach a metal staircase, Lucan jumps to a lamppole (7) and swings across to the next roof. Before you follow his lead, veer left and head downstairs and then follow the alley to a chest (6) in the back corner.

Press to insert Galahad’s blade under the chest’s lid then tap rapidly to pry it open. Grab “The Anarchists 17.10.86” phonograph cylinder and listen to or read the report on the Blackwall Yards warehouse fire.

Now you have two ways to rejoin Lucan. You can walk around the platform next to the chest and hop up to the top. From there, simply jump across the gap to Lucan’s position.

Or you can backtrack up the stairs, turn left, and then press when the prompt appears to make the swing across the gap using the lamppole (7)…just as Lucan did.

Around the next corner, scale the brick wall (8) and follow Lucan across a narrow catwalk made of planks. Continue to the gap where you must jump across to grab a rain gutter (9) that suddenly breaks apart. Quickly! When the prompt appears, press to avoid a grisly fall.

Slide along the gutter around the corner, and then pull yourself up onto the wooden platform. Finally climb up onto the rooftop (10) where Lucan starts rigging up a zipline.
