Quick Start Guide

 * 1) Find the wizard Rushmore and his four fellow outlaws. Assassinate them before time runs out!
 * 2) Unlock gates to quickly navigate to your target and extend your time.
 * 3) Watch out for phantasmal guards lurking around the Mansion!

Assassinate Your Target

 * The vile wizard Rushmore has retreated to a magical safe-house to relax with his no-good cohorts.
 * Infiltrate their Mansion and eliminate these outlaws before time runs out!
 * Tip: You can earn extra treasure for killing orange and red named boss monsters!

Gates

 * Each Gate you open will extend your time by 2 minutes.
 * To open a Gate, you must obtain the associated Crest(s).
 * The deeper you go into the mansion, the more Crests are required to open the next Gate.
 * Crests can be found by:
 * Breaking furniture and containers
 * Killing monsters
 * Tip: You will also occasionally find Crests lying out in the open.

The Paintings

 * There are paintings scattered throughout the walls of the mansion.
 * If you get too close to a painting, its eyes will glow red and phantasmal guards will appear to fight you.
 * The painting will continue to spawn phantasmal guards until the next Gate is opened.

Score
You will earn points for the following:
 * Monsters killed (~1–3 points per kill)
 * Gates opened (~60 points per gate)
 * Outlaw Bosses killed (~400–600 points per kill)

Player Notes

 * Rushmore's 4 friends are to be found behind gateways requiring 4 seals to open.
 * Bosses are in the Assassin's Crib (Smiling Sam), Boudoir (Mistress Temptia), War Room (Ugg), Hidden Sanctum (Rushmore) and Money Laundering Room (Crystal).
 * Mother of the Nest is located just off the Grand Hall, behind a secret door that connects to the Bath House.
 * Smiling Sam is not hostile, he has several dialog options:
 * Intimidate: He offers to help you kill Rushmore. If you instead head for Mistress Temptia next, he will show up and say "That was not part of the deal!" then attack you along with her. While this is risky, it can actually save time given you eliminate them both with AoE attacks quickly. If you head to Rushmore next, he will indeed help you with the battle, although he's fairly useless. It's best to let him die during the encounter, as otherwise if you win and he survives, he will remain friendly and you will not be able to achieve the star for killing him.
 * Bluff/Diplomacy: Same as intimidate, except he won't double-cross you if you go to kill Temptia first.
 * The Bubbles at Observatory are locked by a puzzle. The easiest way to open them all is one by one, counter-clockwise.
 * See Dr. Rushmore’s Mansion Quest Challenges Guide

Star Objective First-time Bonus XP


Subsequent runs the star objectives will provide bonus XP as well, though far less than the first time.

Variable: Primarily Phantasmal creatures. They count the same as the type they match, but are illusionary and thus gain immunity to mind effects, and should be (but currently are not) vulnerable to dispel magic. Vorpal effects will kill these phantasms. Named monsters: }}
