Yeah, I haven't really got lost much, besides these several minutes inside the mansions, trying to figure out which stairs lead upwards/outside and which ones will lead me in circles where I had just been a moment ago. I'm a huge hater of labyrinthian stuff like The Lost City with non-functional maps and the like, and I really do consider this mission effective and complicated-looking when it comes to the visual layout, and not like The Lost City, it's quite simple and non-linear in practice....
I tried, friend! I really tried. I was expecting something truly bombastic, judging by the reviews. And then I went over to Vizir's, got the Iron Fascade, just laying around, with nothing challenging to it (like the whole mission)", and was like... time for the second half of the mission, the "twist", the better half where it all picks up, the reason why it's so beloved, time for something wild to happen!
Except... nothing ever happened. It was over, after 1:20h - just get down to the cave...
