Anybody played this yet? I would like to know if it is possible to get inside the St. Lucard Church I've been all over the place but no luck so far. Very cool mission btw.
@Taffey You can't get in. Your main objective is nearby though.
I think I found what you are hinting at. Any hint regarding the Holy Blessing for the grave?
Hint: The key word is "holy."
Solution: Use holy water.
Wow I'm an idiot I never would have thought of thatOriginally Posted by marbleman
Thanks! Now I have all I need.
This was fantastic! The Haunted Cathedral on steroids!
Drenched in atmosphere, wonderful exploration gameplay, tasteful use of custom resources, challenging but didn't outstay its welcome. Literally my only complaint is that it is a little too mazelike. I finished with about half the loot total, so goodness knows where some of that is!

This has to be my favorite of the bunch so far. I always loved the Old Quarter and it's a shame it's really underused in FMs. This one catches that eerie and desolate atmosphere of the barricaded district perfectly, and it never gets boring! New enemies show up as you progress and there's always nice little things to be found
For the main objective, where is the "scripture" it speaks of? I figured out the rest of the puzzle -- 2 hammers, holy water, but I can't find a "scripture" to give to the "father."
Go back to the streets. Search the houses and most importantly, don't forget to look up.
what a amazing map,beyond impressed,great job
Is there anything wrong with my setup?: I find these heavy sandbags everywhere but they don't do anything to the zombies or the scrappers. I've used them as markers of where I've explored already but are they supposed to have any other effect? Same with exploding barrels, sad that throwing them doesn't do anything. I thought I was clever for taking them from the thieves.
In fact if you want to rerelease this, consider this OM feature: Did you know that crates fall apart if and AI keeps walking into them? You have to create a wall otherwise it just avoids them. If the exploding barrels were set up with the the same bash level, you can create blockades that explode and you can also throw them (from up high only).
Having a lot of fun! I'm going to take a break until I know my setup is fine. It fits my search everything play style. Love nooks and crannies!
I am going to require something more direct than this. I've spent literally hours scouring and only come up with a little more loot.
Ok so it has nothing to do with that... for those in the future looking for the same thing ... it's in the scrappers' hideout. I had to break down a door to get it.
The mission is great but sometimes i feel that navigating the city is just too confusing.

where do i have to shoot the holy water?
I´m stuck here:
I don't understand the puzzle, i have shooted holy arrows to everything, nothing happens, i need to find the arm of St. Lucard, but how?
Strong spoilers please.
Certain objects go in certain people's tombs, like that scripture right there in your inventory.
Thank you, i hope i have all items needed...
Alright, mission finished with around 2 hours of gameplay. This was another Masterpiece i loved in this contest, the scenarios are very well design, all paths and areas are connected by multiple path, i´m pretty sure i know who built this (even this is a team project), the style with the old/dirty textures, the dark atmosphere, the canals/sewers the architecture design tells everything. i loved the fact that there are frobable mushrooms that helped me to identify areas not yet explored. the gameplay was very enjoyable, exploring all the hidden areas from up and down. there was enough ammunition to deal with the undeads. The puzzle for the family tombs was not very clear has it led me to multiple interpretations, but other than that this is a high quality production.
Thank you for this very enjoyable experience.My score is 9 out of 10

Just finished this awesowe sealed quarter mission. I thought I found almost everything, but actually missed 800 in loot. Maybe I´ll need a closer look here and there.
Thanks for release!
I am glad I found everything needed for the final part. otherwise It would had been a hard time in this giant maze with countless places for hiding special objects. Overall, I needed roughly 3 hours ingame time for solving this maze.
I´ll guess, mazers would be love it. But I also loved it for the incredible love for detail - the ruined city felt organic and I had fun roaming through the streets and buildings. One plus for the good riddle at the end. At first try I fell through the ground and at my second try I ended up locked inside. How mean.
I also loved these zombie guards and the flaming zombie near to the catacombs. It was a nightmare to engage them in these narrow streets.
Overall difficulty was hard and challenging, but not frustrating. Loot was cleverly hidden.
Overall I would give this masterpiece a 10/10 rating. Thank you!
for the love of God!,lol
Wow! What an experience that was.
One of the most complex, confusing and total nightmares I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying, and according to Dromed the author built this mission in just 16 days and 9 hours.
Taffing hats off to whoever you are (though I think most people can guess)
Thank You!

What to do with the two hammers? They are throwable and not useable.
