Looting the Mechanists
Meeting the loot requirements in this mission is somewhat tough, especially on expert. There's lots of loot, but it's spread all over. Following are the locations of most of the loot in the level.

Third floor: The two towers have some loot. Climb up the ladders from the second floor to find some valuable vases in the towers.

Second floor: There's loot in the second-floor office (near the door to the roof), and there's a statue on a bookshelf outside the office. You'll also find loot in the storage room on the roof; look in the chest and take the bottle from the shelf. There's also a chest outside the storage room.

First floor: The acolytes' quarters contain some vases, and if you go down the stairs, you'll find a small crawlspace leading to the guards' barracks. In the crawlspace, there is a strongbox with some gold. Also make sure to search the chests in the barracks.

There is loot on the pulpit in the chapel.

To the northwest of the room where you listened to Karras' speech, there's a small room with the hammerite insignia on the door. Inside are two chests, one with some loot.

The storage rooms behind the chapel have some loot. One has a chest, the other some coins on the floor.

The catacombs are a good source of loot, but they're guarded by hammerite haunts.
Catacombs: The best source for loot is the catacombs. Beware, though, as they are guarded by hammerite haunts. Kill the haunts by sneaking up on them and repeatedly whacking them with your sword from behind - they'll go down before they can turn around. Search all the alcoves in the catacombs - there are a few chests with loot in them as well as a statue in a shadowy alcove in the northern part of the maze.

Leave the Mechanist Compound
Once you've completed all the goals, make your way back to the entrance. Either just go through the front doors (if you've dealt with the guard there) or return to the west tower and climb down your rope arrow.
