2. Explore the rectory

Note: If you know where the bishop lives then you can skip this step entirely and go there directly.

Go to the rectory. To enter the house on the left you need to go to its back, move the rack to uncover the window and then shoot the door lock through it.

The priest you meet inside will be very frightened and will mention the Red Hand. He will tell you about another priest who locked himself in the neighboring building. You will also receive a clue - "The other priest's house has a weak roof".

5. Infiltrate the Minster

Head to the Minster. The surrounding area will be watched over by Red Hand, so it's best to get there by walking across ropes and rooftops. You can get inside the church through one of the windows...

6. Identify and assassinate the Firebrand

You must now find the real Ingeborg and kill her. There will be three markers on the map which will move, but after some time they should stop at certain places. I am not sure, but I think that the real Ingeborg always goes to the same place marked on the picture below.

Also, the real Ingerborg has no nickname...

...and the fake ones have a yellow nickname and a question mark at the end.
