How to access the Pharos secret room with the 4 x loot?

[AEon]

When climbing up the lighthouse Pharos (north of Alexandria) towards the very top of the square part of the tower, you will have to climb into a square room with 5 windows on each side, and some stairs leading up to the 8-sided part of the light house. In that room, using the Animus Pulse (V), and looking down you should notice 4 diamond blips denoting loot.

Climbing up the tower from below, you end up in a internal spiral pathway that goes up several floors, but then ends in a huge door blocking any further progress, i.e. you have to exit via a window to continue climbing up the tower via outside, to then reach the latter square room mentioned. The secret loot room is between the blocking door, and the aforementioned square room.

It seems the secret room with the 4 diamonds should actually be behind the door on the continued spiral pathway, just one floor up...

I initially thought, like a few other inaccessible areas in the game, this was part of a quest, but having played and completed all quests and side quests, this was not the case.

I simply cannot figure out how to get there... any help appreciated.

That video shows how to get the 2 "Loot Treasure"s for Pharos... I have everything collected except for that secret room mentioned in the first post. So the video did not help, alas.

Hmm... does not seem to be something many people looked into... darn.

I'm wondering if it's just ammo racks up there.

[AEon]

Yeah... those "annoying" ammo racks are indeed widespread. Personally, I really would have loved to be able to turn those off when using the "Animus Pulse".

Plus, there were at least 10 "diamonds" I could not loot... i.e. stuck or blocked jars. Would have been nice to see these fixed this late in the game's cycle. And I really am late to the party.

What I really like about the game is that everything you loot, excepting the ammo/arrow racks and the blue "messages", actually stay tracked, i.e. looted... thus any loot I still find after completing the game, is something I missed. Thus why the Pharos has been cleaned up this much in my game.

Definitely loot and not ammo. You can see they are in a side room. I've been looking extensively at all locations to find all the little secrets of the game. It will be a while before I get back to this area, but I will keep the community informed.

Architect’s notes:
According to Sostratus of Cnidus, the architect of the Pharos, we should regularly inspect the light-colored stones that are reinforced with molten lead. This is what protect the walls from crashing ocean waves.

This was found just under the inaccessible floor.

No luck finding any of these stones.

Yeah, just re-explored that area and found that note... looking around for some sort of "light-colored stones" that can either be destroyed or pushes or something. Still curious how to get to those "4 loot diamonds".

There is a very old thread on reddit as well, but they could not figure it out either.

I suspect that this part of the Pharos used to be part of some quest and thus accessible, but that then got cut, so the in-between areas were realised but simply not used in the end. Or the dev designer(s) did it to troll us :-P

It's true, there is no access to that location, both sides of that particular room is blocked by those wide doors. the loot is two vases, brown chest and a sack
