How do I operate the switchbox?.
I just managed to get myself stuck on thespoiler:. I can't get a hold of thebalconyspoiler:.ladder![]()
Many thanks Darkshadow,
Finished, but still missing 80 from the total loot.
Just finished and this was an excellent christmas mission. Thanks for all the hard work.
Cattmer: I never saw a switch box you had to use. Where is this?
Kabatta: I never had a problem with ladders. Did you try the jump to grab option of thief 2?

In the room where the secret switch is. It gets highlighted but nothing happens when you frob it.
I had alot of fun with this one, my thanks to the author!
I also posted screens and a review here if anyone is interested.
I've explored the ground floor of the Hammer compound and rode the elevator to the the bell room. from the courtyard I can see a balcony above the cathedral, do I need to get up there, somehow? where are Santa and the list?
I also rope arrowed up to the thief's hideout and found his secret stash. the switchbox doesn't do anything, look behind the spare door.

at the end of the first alley, there are some pipes I can climb onto, from which i can see a balcony with a ladder. is it possible to get over there?

Thank you for the Christmas FM. I enjoyed playing Santa Claus.
I Will go back and play again for more money. Also missed a secret.
Couldn't get an ending as the wish list wouldn't check off.
Nicely done on the architecture and storyline.![]()
Hammer area: left door is unfrobbable, right door can be opened by hitting it. the guy inside will open it, but can't hurt you.
alley: I couldn't find any crates in the mission, maybe it's just set dressing - an exit point for the thief mentioned above?

where does Birka live?
EDIT: found her! look past the cathedral doors, to the low-ceilinged space with the man standing under it. there are stairs in the corner

Dawggon - checking off gift objective
You have to place the gifts in the right spot. You know when you hear the sound.
Excellent mission, lots of fun, love the angry guards.
The mission is great.
Stigm: Trying the ladder was the first thing I have done. maybe I'll get lucky now.
Thank you, DarkShadowDownloading!
Nice little mission, loved the atmosphere.
Only issue was at the beginning it seemed that I was being led to crawl across the pipes and into a window, but no matter how I tried I couldn't get in. Actually that would be my issue in general. It seemed a lot of the places it looked like I should or could get to, I couldn't.
Which leads me to questions.
Can you get into the first window from that pipe over the guard with the helmet?
Can you, or are you meant to, get on the other side of the locked gate near the pub?
What's with the pipes outside the one window that seem to lead to a balcony with a ladder?
Why is there an elevator that goes nowhere useful behind the little alehouse?
All in all a nice little mission however.
Oh yeah, and a bug. You can lure the guards into the pub, and crush them with the elevator, but the no kill objective doesn't fail. I didn't play through after doing that to see if it would fail at the end or not, just reloaded from my last save.
I got the 'completion' sound & the coloured light went off after dropping the right gifts in all 3 locations - gift objective didn't tick off for me either
Anyway, nice mission with thoughtful layout & pathfinding (&, being summer here, the snow was great!). Thanx very much, Darkshadow![]()
