    Jacob's insane asylum

    Has anyone been able to breech the perimeter of the asylum? This is the place Jacob takes you to
    "watch your time"
    I didn't pick up any side quest concerning the place and found it while exploring the map looking for wolf beacons.
    Is there a side quest I am missing? Have any of you figured out a way inside?
    Each time I go, the screen goes blank and sets me back to the entrance area of the hospital.

    i've done everything, got 104% according to ubisoft website, all collectables/challenges everything. i got close enough to listen to the whole song (only you by the platters) for it to end and still have the same thing happen. the closest i got was about 25m in past the gate after smoking about 6 or 7 oregano, ran out then.

    its probably going to be something related to dlc, it's a large unmarked location without access to only the player that happens to be an insane asylum, so you'd probably end up going there to choose which dlc you would enter. zombies, mars and Vietnam? easily 3 things that could be related to either someone there of a bad bliss trip recovery centre while you enjoy the dlc ride.

    here's the lyrics for the song

    Only you can make all this world seem right
    Only you can make the darkness bright
    Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do
    And fill my heart with love for only you
    Only you can make all this change in me
    For it's true, you are my destiny
    When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
    You're my dream come true, my one and only you
    Only you can make this change in me
    For it's true, you are my destiny
    When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
    You're my dream come true, my one and only you

    I discovered it today and ended up losing consciousness at close range, too. I'm really curious about Ubi's plans for this one.
    The song is nothing less than "Only you" by Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll, gentlemen.

    The location and the song play a vital role in the campaign already. Not sure there are any plans or intentions past that to be honest.

    Nope. The song is by The Platters (1955).

    .

    Wikiwiki - Only You

    But apparently Elvis did perform this song in his live shows (cannot find a clear source).

    Seems like you can. I managed to breach the perimeter by hugging and walking around it as well as doing the same going in and inside the parimeter. Managed to touch the back of the asylum before blacking out and spawning out of the area. Of course you will need to get around the pond,and run through trees as well on the right corner of the wall to make this work as far as I know.

    There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason as to when or if the music is going to knock me out. According to the waypoint I put on the front door, you can hear the music first somewhat faintly at 149m away, and then again louder at 104m away, and it's the second one that knocks you out.

    There is a cliff behind the mansion that seems to serve no other purpose than to be just tall enough and just close enough to allow you wingsuit to the roof.

    There's a room on the third floor balcony with a safe in it that I haven't been able to access legitimately yet. Only through glitching to avoid getting KOed.

    I wonder how one gets to that safe in the room without glitching

    It may be related to the Vietnam DLC so you can only access it freely by then.
