Collect Vertigo’s Dead Drop

As the objectives state, the Dead Drop is at the Basilica. If you like a stealthy approach, there is a tunnel that leads from the Café du Matin right into the basilica’s ground floor, where you can find the Basilica Vestri Safe Key right next to a gramophone. There is also a charge satchel in the same room.

Take the nearby staircase up one level, where you will find the office with the green safe. Use either the Basilica Vestri Safe Key or the charge satchel to open the safe. You receive the Collectible: Personal Letters: A Lost Soul Trembles.

Leave the office and go back to the staircase to climb the Basilica’s tower. Interact with the painting at the top of the stairs to find Vertigo’s Dead Drop.

Search Vertigo’s Apartment

Vertigo’s Apartment is at a very confusing central apartment complex in the center of the map. You will know that you have reached the apartment when you see things lying on the floor as if someone had searched the place. Walk around the whole apartment to find a “squeaky floorboard” that you can interact with. This will lead to the objective “Locate the tunnel entrance in the Library Gardens”.

Find and make contact with Vertigo

To Find and make contact with Vertigo, one has to locate the tunnel entrance in the Library Gardens first. The library gardens are in the north of the map. Interact with the Library’s Pavillon to find the tunnel entrance. Follow the corridor and enter the first room to the right to find Vertigo. The alternative entrance is in the cellar of the restaurant where Philo Beck is.

Recover Vertigo’s Intel

Vertigo’s Office is in the northwest of the map. There are various ways inside. The Safe needs Vertigo’s Safe Key. Make sure to search the enemies close to the office. One of them has the key.

Kill Philo Beck

Philo Beck is inside the restaurant that you can find in the center of the map, on the main road. It’s totally up to you how you kill him, of course. But from the angle shown below, you can take care of two birds with one stone…

Disrupt the Nazis’ Investigation

You will get the hint that there is a library while picking up the Classified Document: “Use the Library”. Once you get close enough to the library in the north of the map, the library will be highlighted. The Optional Objective is to Find 3 Stolen Resistance Files in the Library.

The three documents that need to be found are “Hidden Secrets” Collectibles:

-> Police Report: #222
-> Police Report: #223
-> Police Report: #224

Personal Letters

A Lost Soul Trembles

The Personal Letter: A Lost Soul Trembles can be found in the Basilica Vestri Safe during the “Collect Vertigo’s Dead Drop” Objective. The safe is in the office on the second floor, just above the ground floor. You can either find the key on the ground floor next to the gramophone or use a charge satchel, which can also be found on the ground floor.

Missing You Dearly

“Missing You Dearly” is a personal letter found on the ground floor of Vertigo’s office. Look for a small courtyard at the back to find it.

Additional Info:

One Safe Key isn’t listed in this guide because the safe contains ammunition. You’ll find it at the Central Apartments, located in the center of the Dead Drop Map. Search the enemies around the Central Apartments complex—one of them will have the Central Apartments Key.
