Walkthrough

- 6Once at the top, use the Crane Control Room Key to unlock the door
- 7Enter the control room and approach the crane controls by the window
- 8Use the D-pad to move the claw horizontally toward the buried stone relic below
- 9Carefully lower the claw (D-pad down) toward the relic, stopping just before contact
- 10Align one claw side on the relic first, then adjust the second claw to lock on
- 11Once both claws grip the relic, press up repeatedly to extract it from the stone
- 12The relic extraction opens a hidden underground passage beneath the quarry
- 13Enter the hidden area and collect the Palmar Pill inside the secret chamber
- 14Return to Count Roberts at Bluemont Manor to complete the full Estate in Dismay quest chain
Tips
- The crane controls wobble a lot — take your time and move slowly for accuracy
- Position one claw side against the relic first — it stabilizes the second claw adjustment
- If the claw misses, you can retry without penalties, so don't rush the positioning
- Once locked on, the camera will zoom in and focus on the extraction — clear sign you succeeded
- After extraction, don't miss the hidden Palmar Pill reward in the secret underground chamber
- This quest unlocks the path to future House Roberts quests and story progression
