Can't find the book in Morgan's office.
I've stuck my nose right up against each one, but noneare frobbable


I knew it ! How many times does that happen? Spend hours looking and find it immediately after posting!! Doh.

Now how do I get into the building with the thieves? I can't mantle from the crates on the flat roof.

There's a secret entrance in the warehouse. The switch that opens the door is on the side of a desk.

Ooooooh...... Thank you Max!!!!!

[rustmite]

Awesome mission, love the ambience. I'm 30 short, ugh............

[frobbin hood]

Thanks DarkMax - missed the door to the warehouse!

[fxdwg]

Having a bit of trouble getting to the Dish collection.
Is there an alternate way in other then the main locked door, for which I have no key?

The key is in Lord Robert's Belt. He's playing cards with Anthony at the Inn, which is right next to Robert's place.

[fxdwg]

Thanks for the rapid reply!
I'm off to find the Inn...

[fxdwg]

Is there really a golden gear to locate?

[DarkMax]

Is there really a golden gear to locate?

Yes there is. Check the top floor of the clocktower.

[fxdwg]

Yes there is. Check the top floor of the clocktower.

I was hoping it wasn't there.
Since my last objective was to go there, the game ends as soon as i reach the top floor, before i can go searching for the gear.

If you are quick enough you can still get it. It's hidden on one of the wooden beams.

You're right. With a well-placed arrow, it can be snatched just before the game ends.

DarkMax,

This was an immensely enjoyable mission to play.
Your choice of rooftop travel and its implementation was excellent.
You use of Dark Project resources and atmosphere was excellent.
The exploration aspect was excellent.
With an incredible use of area, this was one of the biggest small maps i've played in a long time.
Thank you so much for your contribution to the world of Thief fan missions!!

[frobbin hood]

Thanks for a good mission. Fun to play!
Would have liked a map as I kept losing my bearings - a bit of a bewildering layout.
Never found my way to the warehouse - a hint would be appreciated for when I play it again.

[Empyrium]

Loved it. Played without problems in expert.

If you came across the Clocktower then the Warehouse is right next to it.

[maga]

I'm still stuck with the hammer. I am outside Norgan's office, see the wires, but cannot find a lever or butto to open the hammer door------

[skacky]

maga: Check Morgan's office carefully.

DarkMax: I found the warehouse, but can't get in. The only way seems to be from the flat roof. There are a couple of crates in front of an open window. There are 2 thieves inside.
I am not able to mantle from the crates to the ledge.


Edit: Ok eventually managed it by using speed potion and running up the slope.

Thanks for your help.

I'm I crazy or didn't the dark arrows used to take out electric lights? In this chapter it just hurts AI (so far), and lanterns stay lit.

They never used to take out electric lights. They are like a "stealthier" (and slightly weaker) version of the fire arrows.

[pwl]

I think Gamophyte is right I remember them working on electric lights in a mission but I can not remember which one?



In the mission I think there was a weapons store that had all of these rare arrows and bombs and you were able to get behind this shop and see it thru a hole to grab something? In another part you are in a Hammer basement where you have to solve a puzzle with pipes and if you get it wrong bad things happen.

[DarkMax]

I am pretty sure that I never set the dark arrows up to take out electric lights. They DO douse torches, though.

[TheDarkOne93]

Great Mission DarkMax, is there any news on when the other missions will be finished?

Thanks DarkMax! I am totally absorbed into this mission, love the story. I was just having a hard time at portion and wanted to know if I was missing a script or something, in that I was supposed to be taking out lights.
