"I have no memory of this place"

During the first mission, we were overly cautious and still trying to reacquainted with the game. In the process, we remembered how doors work, got lost on the upper floor of the mansion, and carried numerous bodies for inexplicably long distances.

Self-doubt led us to do a little unnecessary backtracking, and one especially tiny loot item was particularly vexing, leading to our first rage-induced screen-shake. We imagine Garrett silently shaking his fists in rage.

After playing this mission, we improved our recording practices to mostly eliminate pauses and backtracking. As the playthrough goes on, our confidence increases.

Exercise caution: There are spiders in this video during the 'Spider cave' segment. After that segment, they are not seen again.

Very Important Final Note: Much gratitude is due to all those responsible for creating and maintaining the "Keeper's Chapel" guide for many years, without whom this recording would not have been possible.
