Walkthrough
- Main article: Von Croy's Apartment Walkthrough
Take your time to investigate inside the apartment, leave picking up the Jackal Walking Stick for last, since it causes The Cleaner to appear. Remember to take advantage of the useful bug, if you want (details below). After The Cleaner has appeared, the goal is to keep shooting at him until he runs away, deactivating sets of lasers and explosives. This has to be done a couple of times to defeat him.
Useful Bug
When starting the level, leave picking up the Rigg 09 and the Jackal Walking Stick for last. Now you should be able to pick up the Rigg 09 Clips next to the column infinite times, until you pick up the weapon. This is very useful against The Cleaner, who enters as soon as you've picked up the Jackal Walking Stick and in later in the game, too, since the Rigg 09 is the only weapon that Lara carries with her to the end.
Information obtained in the level
By Von Croy's desk Lara finds information about the Lux Veritatis, The Sanglyph and the Cabal.
- THE LUX VERITATIS - Aha! Facts about the Lux Veritatis. They were a 12th century offshot of the Knights Templar. Dedicated to suppressing evil, ... particularly works of Sorcery and alchemy. Responsible for destroying Eckhardt, the Black Alchemist, in 1445. Or so it says here.
- THE SANGLYPH - There's information here on the Sanglyph. It says the Black Alchemist, Pieter Van Eckhardt, created an artifact of alchemic power, the Sanglyph. It was made in five metallic parts and hidden. Perhaps those where the metal symbols in the Obscura Paintings.
On the small table in the bedroom lies a book about the Cabal.
- THE CABAL - Let's see what we have on the Cabal... a powerful alliance of five alchemists and sorcerers in the 13 and 14oo's. Eckhard is said to have betrayed and murdered almost all of them to control their secrets. Now that IS interesting! It says the Cabal and the Lux Veritatis battled constantly even after the disappearance of the Black Alchemist Eckhardt in 1445.
