Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1. Exit Irving’s Room & Scale the Building After a cutscene with Irving and Styx, exit through the window and stand on the small ledge. From there, jump to grab the wooden bar attached to the outer wall, then gradually make your way to the top of the building where the Tavern balloon station is located. Wikipedia
2. Unlock & Use the Balloon Station Interact with the machine to unlock the balloon station, then interact again and select the Zeppelins’ Docks option to fast-travel to the next area. Wikipedia
3. Reach the Upper Floor at the Docks At the docks, take the broken wooden bridge and jump onto the nearby ledge. Head right, grab the crate to reach the upper floor, but scout and eliminate guards first to avoid any interruptions. Head upstairs, clear the guard, and push toward the zeppelin. Wikipedia
4. Find the Chest Room & Rescue Jasper Move through the gate opened by the lever, follow the rail tracks, eliminate guards, find the rope leading to the Chest Room, and open the chest — triggering a cutscene where Jasper surprisingly emerges from inside. Wikipedia
5. Escort Jasper & Secure the Final Area Use the crawlspace to exit, clear remaining guards, then escort Jasper to the ship. At the station, eliminate all 7 enemies to trigger the mission-ending cutscene. Wikipedia
