Von Croy's Apartment - Clues and Pickups

First, pick up Von Croy's JACKAL WALKING STICK (1), lying on the rug in the middle of the room, but don't use it. Just leave it in your inventory for now. Using the walking stick triggers the appearance of The Cleaner (1). If you wait, you can search the place thoroughly before he shows up.

Taking the walking stick unlocks a new notebook entry (38/62): "What was Von Croy hiding? I need to look carefully." Be sure to read it, and the entry added at the start of the level, for the "Memento Mori" achievement/trophy.

Don't venture too far into the FOYER yet.

Bouchard's minions have rigged laser tripwires with bundles of explosives. If Lara sets them off, she'll be killed.

Search the work area to find more information about the Lux Veritatis (computer desk on the left)...

...and the Sanglyph (smaller desk on the right).

Now move around the dining table to find the RIGG 09 (2) (not exactly state-of-the-art, but it'll have to do for now) and 4 clips (3-6) for it: two near the gun, one by the brick column...

...and one in the corner by the window.

NOTE: In the classic game, the Rigg ammo near the brick column would respawn infinitely. No such luck here, though it does reappear if you run out of ammo during your fight with The Cleaner. We shouldn't need to test that, though.

Move to the KITCHEN where you'll find 3 more Rigg clips (7-9), one on the floor, one on the left counter, one on the center island.

There are also some bandages (10) under the spiral staircase.

Kick down the wooden door in the corner behind the staircase for a lower-body strength upgrade.

Pick up some viper ammo (11) and 2 Rigg clips (12-13) in the hall beyond.

Continue up the back stairs to the BATHROOM. Find more Rigg ammo (14) on the floor near the radiator, plus a small medipack (15) mounted on the wall.

Use your new-found quad strength to kick open the BEDROOM door.

NOTE: This door doesn't open from the other side. So if you come up the spiral stairs to the BEDROOM, you'll need to go back downstairs and kick open the other door to get the upgrade and gain access to the bath.

In the BEDROOM, search the writing desk for intel on the mysterious Cabal. Find 3 Rigg clips (16-18) on the floor, two near the writing desk and one by the bed.

You'll also find 2 more Rigg clips (19-20) in the closet, along with a large health pack (21).

When you've got everything, descend the spiral stairs to the kitchen.
