Quick Answer
Climb into LionCrest Manor through the window, solve the 9-part picture puzzle on the strongbox, and loot it with your thief mask equipped. The reward is an Engraved Gold Earring.
You can solve the puzzle without the mask — you only need it to actually take the item once it’s open. Don’t forget to grab it before climbing back out.
Overview
- Location: LionCrest Manor, Hernand City
- Puzzle type: 9-part rotating image puzzle
- Requirement: Thief mask to loot the strongbox
- Reward: Engraved Gold Earring
- Also in this manor: Hwando 2H Katana — see our Hwando Guide
Step 1: Get Into the Manor
The guards won’t let you through the front door. Instead, go around and climb up to the window entrance.
Step 2: Find the Strongbox Puzzle
Once inside, head to the room where the strongbox is located.
Step 3: Solve the Puzzle
The puzzle is a 9-part image split into a grid. Rotate each section until all nine parts line up to form the complete picture.
Step 4: Loot the Strongbox
Puzzle solved, equip your thief mask and take the item inside. Without the mask you can solve the puzzle but can’t loot it — so make sure you have it before you start.

GameNautica Tips / Common Mistakes
Equip the thief mask before looting, not before solving. You can rotate and complete the puzzle without it — just don’t forget to put it on before you open the box.
Also grab the Hwando while you’re here. The 2H Katana is in the same manor — see our Hwando Guide so you don’t make two trips.
