The Crown Residence is a location featured in Escape Dead Island. It was once the home of the CEO of GeoPharm, Ronald Crown which he built on Narapela along with his first GeoPharm laboratory. After his death, his son Emory Crown took over becoming the new CEO of GeoPharm, living in the villa until the outbreak of the virus. Cliff Calo comes to the villa to collect one of three security keycards that he needs to access the GeoPharm Labs on the island. Cliff later comes back to the mansion to look for Devan Mavropani using help from Faith Kimball
Layout[]
The Crown Residence is a large, grandiose villa, made in a modern style with lots of large windows showing off the views as well as letting us see partly into the large rooms that make up the villa. There's a front main gated entrance for vehicles, as well as a sturdy wall all around the main villa building, but since it's inaccessible, we can't see inside the villa. The main road into the villa consists of a large concrete tunnel, the same as we see across the island, which allows vehicles to get around before we come to a bridge crossing a chasm, which would otherwise cut off access to the villa. There's a security booth which would check all visitors to the villa, as well as housing a lever which controls the electric fence, another line of security before the main wall and gate. To the left of the road is a raised hill which contains a maintenance shed as well as controls for a gondola, which allows quick movement between the villa and Helipad, no doubt for the Crown family to quickly get to a private helicopter. To the right of the road is a Tennis Court, used by the Crown family, as well as a couple of small pools. The court has its own buildings for all the equipment, etc, as well as high fences surrounding it, so the ball doesn't get lost. Around the side of the mansion is a large, private swimming pool with sun loungers and parasols.
Inside, the mansion is very luxurious, with various different posh and likely expensive carpets, fine wallpaper and many, many paintings adorning the walls. Very expensive furniture is found in nearly every room, with exotic sofas and chairs, luxury, rare hardwood chairs and tables as well as posh cabinets filled with pottery and vases are just some of things found inside. Various large, grand staircases allow people to walk around the many floors of the mansion while several elevators are installed for even quicker access. The whole top part of the mansion is dedicated to Emory Crown's Office, a massive, tall, glass walled area which is almost like a resort getaway location, with trees, a massive pond and an office suspended with views both of the artificial pond but also the natural beauty of Narapela.
Notes[]
- You first meet the Siren in this location.
- Security Keycard 3 is located here, on said Siren.
- The Hellfire Shotgun is found here inside the mansion, and is guarded by a Shadow Butcher.
- Aaron Welles' Watch can be found in the ground floor of the mansion after entering it. After getting a mission update to 'find Faith Kimball' there's an open room to the left which has the watch on a wicker basket in the corner of the room.
- Security Dogtags can be found in the pool area outside the mansion after gaining access during Mission 10 - Faith. At the far end of the pool the dogtags are out in the open.
- Research Log #8 can be found here, not far from the tunnel entrance to the villa.
- Research Log #11 can be found just after entering the mansion, in a side storeroom that has some tennis equipment in it.
- Research Log #12 can be found shortly after exiting the walk in freezer you get teleported to. After exiting the freezer and adjoining dining room, you find the main staircase and some scattered equipment. The log is just next to the door, on a cabinet in plain sight.
- Charon's Log #13 can be found under the grand staircase a short way into the mansion. After traversing the ground floor rooms, you find a large staircase that leads up to the elevators. Behind the staircase, up against it, is the log.
- Charon's Log #14 can be found inside the mansion whilst going through the Shadow Zombies section of the mansion. It's on the same level as the shadow Butcher and is found just after going up the stairs, opposite the staircase on a cabinet. It's very easy to see.
- Charon's Log #15 can be found next to the elevators inside the mansion. There's a seating area next to the elevators which has the log sitting on a couch.
- Charon's Log #16 can be found hiding underneath the staircase in the shadow zombie section of the mansion, much like how log 13 is found.
- GeoPharm File #7 is found just behind the small pool, before the ladder leading up to the tennis court.
- A collectible is found just before the electric fence, up against the cliff. At the car which broke down the electric fence, stay near the cliff edge to the left and carefully go between the fence and the cliff, in line with the car. There's a collectible at the end of it (not sure what it is as I already collected it, so if someone knows which one it is, please update).
- GeoPharm File #15 can be found just after the electric fence blocking off the main gate of the villa, near the rope attachment point.
- GeoPharm File #22 can be found inside the mansion, just after exiting the walk-in freezer when you get teleported in there. After exiting the freezer, head into the adjoining dining room and the file will be hidden in a wine rack in the corner of the room.
- GeoPharm File #27 can be found in the upper floor of the mansion after going up the main staircase. After going upstairs, head towards the bar in quite a well lit, relatively open area. The file will be in the back corner of the bar area, next to a pool table.
