A mysterious note, written in an unknown language.
Follow the inscription from Neustadt to Silas’s workshop
Meet Crake and Mevasser during the day
After the gargoyle encounter in What Hunts the Night, the inscription becomes a lead in What Moves the Dead. Follow the objective to meet Crake in Neustadt by day. He knows Mevasser, who can help with the unfamiliar writing.
Follow Crake and Mevasser as their conversation continues. Once Mevasser agrees to help, inspect the four points on the woodcut of Silas and his workshop. It points the investigation toward Altenmarkt.
Find the house by the stone arch
Go to Altenmarkt with Crake and ask about Silas. Continue north past the houses and speak to the older woman with two dogs on your left. She points you to a nearby house, on the left before the archway; Crake opens its locked door.
Inside, inspect the patch on the back wall, then the chimney in the next room. Examine the different floorboards beside it to find the hatch. After dealing with the homeowner, enter the basement and inspect the bookcase at the back to uncover the passage into the ruins.
Continue from the workshop to Silas’s Book
The ruins establish that Silas wrote about creating gargoyles, but his book is now held by Aurelius. What Moves the Dead leads into Who Pulls the Strings, which sends you to Aurelius’s tower.
Use the Silas’s Book guide for the tower’s pedestal, the encounter with Svetlana and the Life Lock learning reward. The inscription starts the investigation; the book is the later object you need to recover.
