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.

  1. 01

    Treat Holloway Manor as optional story DLC, separate from the five-chapter base campaign and its main-route objectives.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
