Vampyr - Pandora's Box Quest & Secret Vault Puzzle Walkthrough

Image
This is a walkthrough post for "Pandora's Box", a fascinating and complicated quest in Vampyr . It spans through several main missions and is connected with a subsequent brilliant puzzle that opens a secret vault which, in turn, rewards you with a cool weapon, a special collectible and an achievement. Main mission "Unnatural Selection" : after you find your way via the sewers to reach the Temple Church area but before you go to meet Aloysius Dawson, run around the perimeter of the church to locate an underground passage.

A playthrough of Resident Evil 4 on Professional difficulty, New Game, where I am totally ignoring the Merchant, therefore my inventory is limited to what I have and what I collect on the way and the weapons that I use (default Handgun, free Shotgun and free Broken Butterfly) don't get any upgrades.  This was an insane challenge which at many instances I thought I wouldn't be able to complete, but I made it. There are certain fights, like the whole U3 sequence, which are quite unforgiving, but even so things turned out better than I expected.
