Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 3: There's a black chest in the same room that the quest dagger is in. It requires a Disarm Trap skill of 18 (level 7 master or better) and contains an artifact dagger called Black's Heart. It's a far better weapon than the dagger you're stealing for the quest, so be sure to return and get it sometime when you can open the chest safely.
  • 2 of 3: The Count always regenerates every time you exit and reenter the house. Shoot him over and over again!
  • 3 of 3: Once you can open the black chest with Black's Heart in it, you could use the Minisaves cheat to get as many Black's Hearts as you want. See the following link to find out how to pull it off.
