Chapter 11 Walkthrough: Marni Key, Visione Clock Puzzle & Stefan Lanford

Mercenary Directive: Stop scouring desks for the Marni Key. It is concealed beneath three destructible crates in the far-right armory corridor. For Stefan Lanford's second phase, never attempt to parry his shield slam — the active hitbox lingers across 14 frames. Roll diagonally left beneath his shield arm and punish his recovery.

Step 1: Uncovering the Hidden Marni Key

Clear the halberd guards in the outer courtyard, then advance into the right stone corridor:

1. Pass through the first iron gate and strike the stacked barrels in the corner.
2. Interact with the amber glint on the cobblestone to retrieve the Ornate Marni Key.
3. Unlock the spiral elevator leading up to the Visione Clock Tower heights.
