Holloway Manor DLC
Holloway Manor is a separate story DLC side mission, not one of the five base-campaign chapters; its advertised reward is the Bucking Bronco revolver.
Verified add-on · optional side mission
Holloway Manor is a separate roughly two-hour story DLC side mission that rewards the Bucking Bronco revolver; it is not a sixth base-game chapter.
Frogwares' official Xbox Wire feature describes Holloway Manor as a two-hour side mission and names the Bucking Bronco revolver as its reward. The official Steam DLC listing places Holloway Manor in the add-on catalog, so do not search the five-chapter base route for a missing Holloway chapter or fold its reward into the base-game weapon list.
01 · Do this
Follow the route in order.
- 01
Treat Holloway Manor as optional story DLC, separate from the five-chapter base campaign and its main-route objectives.
- 02
Plan for roughly two hours for the advertised side mission. That is a scope estimate, not a guaranteed completion timer for every difficulty or exploration style.
- 03
The named reward is the Bucking Bronco revolver. Keep it separate from the five base-game weapons and from the three Chthonic Arsenal weapons.
- 04
There is no verified required chapter placement for Holloway Manor. Because it is optional side content and does not gate the main route, play it whenever the installed add-on is available; this page does not invent a recommended story-order slot.
- 05
Use the official Steam DLC listing for current ownership and availability; do not assume the add-on is included in a particular bundle or subscription without checking that live listing.
02 · Confirm
What success looks like.
- You identify Holloway Manor as optional story DLC rather than a missing sixth base-game chapter.
- The side mission's advertised scope is roughly two hours.
- Bucking Bronco is recognized as the Holloway Manor reward and an add-on weapon.
- You can play it whenever the add-on is available; no required base-campaign chapter placement is asserted.
03 · Boundaries
Opening-route boundaries.
- This page verifies what Holloway Manor is and its advertised reward; it does not claim a complete room-by-room puzzle walkthrough or a full candle-puzzle solution.
- Playtime varies with exploration, difficulty, deaths, and reading. The two-hour figure is the official feature's scope description, not a speedrun guarantee.
- Store bundles, regional availability, and later DLC packaging can change; verify the live official listing before purchase.
04 · Undo
If the route stalls.
- No in-game setting or file change is required. If you do not own the add-on, continue the base campaign rather than looking for a blocked Holloway objective.
- If the DLC does not appear after purchase, verify the platform's add-on installation and restart the game before changing any files.
