The Holloway Manor DLC: Route & Rewards
The Holloway Manor is a separate story level included with the Premium Edition and sold as DLC. It launches from its own main-menu entry and can be played independently of the five base-game chapters.
How to start
Install and enable The Holloway Manor add-on. A separate adventure entry appears on the main menu; if it is missing, verify that the DLC and base game use the same platform account.
The mission is self-contained. You can finish it before or after the campaign, and completion makes its revolver and ammunition available in main-game runs.
Manor route
Speak to Ezra Holloway and enter the manor. Reach the Living Room, investigate the Secret Passage and use the portrait route to access the Museum.
Restore three family heirlooms. Return the Cane, Mirror and Pistol to their Museum displays; each restoration changes the manor and opens the next path.
Follow Ezra into the lower manor. The final route passes through the cave and shrine before the Shadow encounter.
Holloway Manor candle puzzle solution: 1750
Collect both sets of candles first. Take one set from the E.R.C. crate in Archives B and the other from the Boiler Room, then collect Catherine's portrait from the Museum.
Return to the Old Utility Room off Archive A. Place Catherine's portrait at the occult table so the ritual can use the death-date evidence.
Arrange the candle sizes as 1-7-5-0. The sequence represents Catherine's death year, 1750; wait for the supernatural interaction to finish instead of leaving as soon as the layout is accepted.
Pick up the Occult Key. It appears after the ritual completes. If it does not spawn, recheck both candle pickups, the portrait and the 1-7-5-0 order.
Holloway Manor safe code: 1890
The optional safe uses 1890. This answer comes from Dorian Holloway's death year and is separate from Catherine's 1750 candle sequence.
Open the safe before the final pursuit. Doing it during the main exploration route avoids repeating the room path after the manor becomes more dangerous.
Reward and value
Finishing the DLC unlocks the Bucking Bronco revolver. The weapon and its ammunition then become available in the main game.
The add-on is designed as a compact investigation. Its official store description emphasizes an interlocking puzzle-box manor, hidden paths and occult family history.
