Yes, I'm confused as well. There are 3 rooms upstairs, one that looks like a small office, one with a guard snoozing in a chair and a bedroom. Can you be more specific? This is a great little mission, by the way. Loads of fun to play with well hidden secrets and loot. :thumb:

The room with the guard snoozing has a secret:
[SPOILER]teensy switch between wardrobe and wall opens a passage.[/SPOILER]
Also, the bedroom has a secret:
[SPOILER]teensy switch (again) behind right side of chest of drawers.[/SPOILER]
I can't get the statue though! Anyone accomplish this? I have the [SPOILER]note that says something about tapping on the wall, and I tried banging on various things but couldn't get anything to happen. Can we get into the control room?[/SPOILER]
Norman, what do you mean by storage room? All the rooms I saw on the second floor were same as NW (besides the secret passage).

You're missing something upstairs:
[SPOILER]There are three secrets up there.[/SPOILER]

Thanks! Ah, whoops; too many FM's in too short a time. Can't read my own notes. :o
The above question refers to
Too Good to be True. I do, however, have one for this mission: playing on Mother, I have 2410 loot, the vase, the statue, and 3 out of 4 secrets found. The ones I've located are
1. The switch to move the armoire that leads to the safes, 2. The similar switch that opens the way to the display control room, and 3. The switch that flips open the painting in the curator's bedroom. I've also rope arrowed up to the secret attic treasure area that's accessible from the ground floor. I'm 90 loot short of the minimum to finish and about 200 short of the maximum available.

Okay Epithumia, I found the 3rd secret and got the statue and the[SPOILER]rope arrow. I STILL can't finish! I have pickpocheted everyone (including the first 2 archer dudes), but am still a little of 150 short on loot. There are supposed to be 4 secrets total - where is the 4th???[/SPOILER]
Very nicely done mission! I quite enjoyed the challenge.
Edit: Norman and I posted at the same time. Norman looks like we are in the same boat!

[SPOILER]Check the bathroom. There is another secret in there. Also, there should be a little loot hidden in the coat room. Basically every single room has one tiny switch or hidden item in it! If you can't find the switch or loot, just walk around randomly clicking around the edges of the furniture - you're bound to find it eventually.[/SPOILER]
I found this mission quite fun:cool: I enjoyed collecting a stream of blackjacks at the beginning of the mission by luring people into the dark alleys. Frontal blackjacks in pitch darkness are quite easy. The hardest part was getting past my mounting pile of bodies! I'm not much for key/switch-hunting, but overall this was a well-done level with nice gameplay and a good mini-plot. (I really liked finding that sleeping guard. I almost left him unblackjacked, so that he could awake to find the entire household cleaned out and everyone else blackjacked - all while he slept at his post! :ebil: )

Thank kfort, that was the one. I can't actually see the switch even though I know it's there and can frob it. I was also able to grab the third statuette in the display room although I practically had to climb on the pedestal before it lit up. (Bit of a design flaw there) Now I'm just 10 loot short of the maximum so I think I'll move on to the next challenge.

Just 10 short? Did you find the coin lying on the floor beside the chair in the cloakroom?

[SPOILER]On the top floor in the master bedroom, look on the top of the wardrobe (middle of the room, across from the door) There is a copper coin stack on top behind the decorative wood front thingy) If you look at it from the side you should just barely see the coinstack - it is worth five gold! [/SPOILER]
Hope that's it!
