Introduction
Welcome to Port Aerinth, a small, wealthy, and powerful harbor town. Its inhabitants abandoned it after some still unknown tragedy struck there, but rumor has it that in their terror they left behind their considerable wealth and possessions. While most see this as a tragedy, shake their heads, and get on about their lives, you see an opportunity. An opportunity to plunder without consequence, to finally get the wealth you desire…and deserve, after all these years spent crawling through the shadows. But strange things occur the moment you set foot in Port Aerinth. It seems that not everyone – or everything – has fled the town. Maybe tonight, the darkness isn’t your friend…

If you are experiencing heavy stuttering that causes the mission to become unplayable, I suggest downloading this FPS Fix version. The mission is set up differently for there are attributes to the AI that have been removed due to the FPS loss on many systems. The overall experience will be altered because of this and some story elements may be confusing. There has also been a reduction to the aesthetic appeal regarding vegetation.

Excellent! This sounds like a good one to play on Halloween.
Downloading now! Thanks a bunch! The Halloween fun begins!
Congrats HipBreaker! I've been waiting for this one!
This is an amazing mission, it will have you on the edge of your seat biting your nails and hair standing on end. The story is wonderful, the attention to detail meticulous, and the gameplay divine.
Enjoy! I know I will, I haven't played any of the last few betas...
Congratulations, HipBreaker! Just in time for Halloween!
Thank you, HipBreaker and the testing team! I've been anxiously awaiting your next creation since Insurrection. What a marvelous treat for the weekend!
Congrats HipBreaker!
I'm not sure if this is a spoiler or not, so I'll play it safe.
Another rare mission where the blue vase is loot! I can only think of 2, maybe 3, other missions where this happens! Awesome!
Btw, I had to reload when turning on the outside lights...
I'm getting nervous just reading what others have written of it so far *cough*Yandros*cough*
usually I'm not a fan of sudden chills, but I'll give it a shot and report back... if I survive! mwa-ha-ha!
I didn't have time tonight to do a full playthrough, but I loaded it up and went through the first couple of areas and I have to say it looks great! Thank you HipBreaker!
Eclipsed released finally!
I awaited it with so much impatience!
I don't have the Enhancement Pack installed. But the game crashes inside the town. I can navigate the street if I keep looking down, but the moment I look up the game crashes. The problem starts at the very beginning of the area that flags the 'Get Inside' objective complete, and from then it persists almost everywhere.
EDIT: Found the source of the problem. I have Dedx installed in my Thief directory, and it seems its extra resources were causing the crash. You might want to add this to the mission text too.
Now a suggestion: some levers become FrobInert after the first use, and this can cause problems. For example, in the room that you access from the Hammerite's roof, there is a lever to open the gate on the floor. The first time I was standing on the gate without knowing it and pulled the lever. Because the gate didn't open I had to load. Had I saved after pulling the lever I probably would have had to restart the mission.

So far enjoying this mission, love the atmosphere.
But i'm completely and utterly stuck. I have been running around town for an hour now collecting loot but can't seem to progress any further.
I found the Book of Vorenthius and Anastasia's ring (don't know what to do with that), turned on some external lights but i can't figure out what to do now.
Please help.
Great! I have been waiting for this one since that preview thread.
Ahhh, too bad I just woke up! Now I have to wait till dusk...
Can someone tell me how to break into the electricity plant? I also found some explosive teddies. should I open the door with those? Because they only react to the player and not the flairs or broadhead arrows
The ring is a bonuus objective. You'll trigger the objective by reading something hidden near Old Town. Speaking of that, that's where you need to go now: there are two entrances, but one requires something you found on Vorenthius' attic.Originally Posted by The Elusive One
The electricity plant will be unaccessible until you have gone to the mountain. Find the key to the mountain gate first.Can someone tell me how to break into the electricity plant?

Dedx causes a crash for most missions and its rare for people to have it in thier thief folder.
No keep these for later, as you`ll need them -
GOOOD... sounds great for Halloween.
downloading now..
Ok, I'm currently running around throught the town and so far I never came across that damn "mountain gate key"Any hints, please?
EDIT: Nevermind. Found the key to the locked gate

I'm lost as few others. I've been everywhere and don't know how to get through:
- gate to mountain, blocked passage to old town or blocked gate to old town
- I know I need something from clocktower keeper but where is the key to his safe ?
Jeremy: your FM is nothing short of excellent. One of the best this year imho.
I see one last dragon artifact behind a magical shield of some sort, with a code needed-but I have NO idea what it is-does anyone have a spoiler?
