Has anyone ever beaten the timer in Deadhollow Halls heist?

UltimaJoe777 · April 2016

I run Night's Silence, Double Take and Cloak as needed, and am actually optimized in Speed and I am having trouble beating it under 7:30 mostly because of the damn NPCs being against me. If they didn't stand still so long or move so far away from the hiding spots so you have to sit there for at least 30 seconds everytime you turn around this would be more reasonable but as it is it's just plain a joke... You could know every inch of the map's layout and STILL get screwed over by the Lantern NPCs...

Nevermind, managed to do it but boy is it tricky, and sometimes annoying.

...And I got a PURPLE Satchel full of WHITE TREASURES?!?! That is both misleading and a jip. Never doing heists again after I get my achievements.

Which one is it? I don't know which is which by name. I did notice that the chests don't seem to open without giving credit any more.

My only tip for anyone who gets irked at lantern guards not moving is simply to walk straight behind them when they're not looking and time it right so that no one else is looking, either. You don't get seen just because you've been hit with the anti-stealth debuff is no one is looking.

Yeah I figured out a trick to use cloak once I get hit by it and they detect me. If I cloak before they attack it doesn't count as being detected, provided I distance myself after cloaking.

Deadhollow Halls is the one with the Daedra worshippers and that Daedroth.

But yes, I managed to beat the timer every time it came up, though it took some tries. Note that I have all the heist achievements I can't see any reason to do them anymore.

There isn't any reason really. The rewards are not worth the effort.

I have beaten all of them it just takes a bit of getting to familiar with the surroundings, i don't do the Heists anymore tough its just not worth it.

It's as you say, depending on luck. The place is quite big and you need to go all the way round it, so a few npcs with lanterns can definitely screw you, plus there are a couple of points where you cannot easily sneak by

I've kinda stopped doing them after I got all the achievements hehe

Underground Sepulcher was much easier. Did that one flawlessly first try, and with more time to spare than Deadhollow Halls.

Least I got a Leniency Edict for that one, along with 5 white treasures of course...
