The castle vault is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nightmare.

[Goosetave]

So i want the mirror shield right ? I go to the vault, guard tells me to ♥♥♥♥ off. Fair enough.
I wait till night time, still there.

I try to kite her away with throwing a whole barrel at her face and going to the door behind her back, no dice, she tele-tells me to tele-♥♥♥♥ off.

So at that point, i say ♥♥♥♥ it i'm killing her. Just in case i don the hood of nonentity and use the cloaking skill from the thief.
I kill her alright, but then every SINGLE guard in vernsworth knows precisely where i am, and waits for me at the end of the corridor, promply stunlocking the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ out of me.

Worst part ? Game saved after i attacked the vault guard. Last inn save was from this morning.

I am going to cast meteoron on myself.

I personally just killed the entire military force of Vermund out of spite. I imagine it's harder for a sorcerer thou.

a lot of info online says to toss a barrel at her from the beginning of the corridor, this causes her to stagger and you can rush up to her, lift her up then place her down in the kitchen, giving you enough time to loot.

The guard leaves briefly when the queen shows up for a short time at night, and also unlocks the door, but you need to stay out of eyeshot if you go in.

When I arrived there was no guard and the queen just left so it was still clear.

I went to the vault in post-game, no guard no problem
And the item is redundant seeing how easy the Medusa is, you can easily get the achievement if you just grab it in Unmoored and speedrun to Battahl in NG+

what i did was throw the barrel at her, when she rushed to me i picked her up... walked down by the kitchen threw her down the hall and ran into the vault. ez.

[Goosetave]

What i gleaned from this all is that i had a ♥♥♥♥ plan and it came back to bite me in the arse.
Lesson learned.

But i will have my revenge some day.

You can also sneak in as soon as it turns night. Disa walks in, walk in after her. Just make sure you don't get caught by her inside or you'll go to goal. Even then you can just bribe the guard with gold.

You can get the key from the Ancient battleground. Why thee ♥♥♥♥ you need to do all that for?

i guess if you want a decent shield early without having to go to ancient battleground at level 5

Nope, just spam electro orbs. I killed the whole castle every time I had to do a sneak mission. By accident of course.
