There was only one source and now it is not available. Unfortunately, I do not have an English version on hdd.

ty galaer,soul tear if you can add link to thief guild,i am sure they will host it

replayed it for the third time and wow i love it alot,but for some reason the ape fell down from upper area and attacked me once i entered from broken glass area,so i had to put him down and then i took his grapes "healing fruit"

forest area did not hold up as well as i remembered,due to loot being pretty hard to find in order to finish mission,but since the ending leads me to think there can be a part 2 i was excited :)

great job on mission

ohh also i looked through the key hole like 3 times in a row,first time was fine second time the started to spin the camera and third time /etc the camera was locked on the the wood frame :P

i think you should have made it so all loot on expert can be found in first part of mission and second part was just the escape

that box was very powerfull on boards :P,made me think of the compainion cube from portal :) apature science

Somewhat The Dark Forest is the "second part" of this mission. The adventures that I planned to implement in LIFE will be present in one way or another in The Dark Forest.

I'm glad you liked it. I would fix a few things, including the search for loot, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of other problems that will come up that will have to be solved, and I don't want to figure it out. :sweat:

Hey, I would like to try this mission but I can't find a link anywhere at all, the one available here on the last few posts has "traffic exceeded".

Can someone give a link, please? English version, latest version, all that

Soul Tear on 16/9/2021 at 17:06

Hey, it's here:

(https://download.darkfate.org/fan-missions/thief2/1contests/10_rooms/lost_in_the_far_edges/LostInTheFarEdgesV1.2ENG.zip)

Keep in mind that this is a difficult mission with the author's logic. There is a 99% chance that you will not be able to complete this on your own. Nevertheless, I am very proud that I once create it.

I liked this mission, so thank you Soul Tear.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, my first time playing it I just hated it because it felt like nothing more but a tedious mission with no proper goal.
After all these years of playing Thief, and me learning how to deal with the rope arrows (I even found two tricks on how to get back one rope arrow back with no fall damage), I'd like to take the challenge again.

dml courtesy Glypher

The English + Polish version of this mission also has some truncated books containing important info but they can't be fixed with a dml so a fixed version with correct books has been uploaded to Darkfate with the approval of Soul Tear, this fixed zip also contains the dml so no need to install the one below, fixed zip (https://darkfate.org/view/details/files/fan-missions/thief2/1contests/10_rooms/lost_in_the_far_edges) here.

- Fixes all incorrectly set up goals (no longer able to collect crystal without first shutting down anti-magic barrier, no longer able to kill apebeast, final goal works correctly in all situations)
- goal 1 is now irreversible (anti-magic crystal)
- correct pickpocket count
- anti-magic crystal, magic crystal (teleports)
- doors (removed double door properties, blockfrob)
- minor fixes
- Carnelius window now translucent

Thank you! I'm very proud that I created this mission, and it's sad that there were all these problems. I'll happily replay the revised version for inspiration.

Another point that we forgot about is the window leading to the room where you need to steal the key to the safe. This window should have been made translucent or slightly open, because I didn't give any hints about where to go.
