Hehe, wouldn't call being there "safely stowed away"! ;)

Have you taken a look at the screenshots I posted a few days ago fore Bane III? They can be found (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119200) here.

I'm glad you liked this one. I'm really trying to move part 3 to a new level of quality than I had achieved in the last two parts. I hope I'll succeed. :)

All right, dangerously stowed away! :cheeky:

Good screen shots!

When will this one be ready?

That depends on how much time I can put on it. The brush work and terrain is probabely 50 percent done but the object and AI placing, and objectives and scripted events are yet to be implemented.
As for the release date, the end of April would be an optimistic estimate. Some time this summer would be a bit more realistic.

Just finished it, and once again another winner. These are terrific missions!!

Now I can't wait for Bane 3! :D

Seems I'm the only one with this problem. I just entered the catacombs and have no idea how to get further. There's the pit with the three rope arrows but they don't seem to lead anywhere and there's the water hole, which appears to be the next best thing, but every time I jump in, I bounce up. I can't stay under the water. Any direct hint please?:confused:

Verak--

Go back to the ladder and continue forward (past the corpse). If you frob the tomb a haunt will appear around the corner...and he's tricky to get around. But, I believe you must frob this. There is also a bit of gold to get. Around the corner there is a broken tomb. Look inside.....

Really big spoiler: Jump into the tomb and you will fall through into another area with yet more vine ropes hanging from the ceiling. Jump onto the beam, then jump from vine rope to vine rope to get the keeper key. Then, come back to the middle statue and look behind it...jump in and you'll see why you keep popping up out of the water back at the other area

Verak, what Queue said is basically correct. Let me just add one part to his explanation:
Jump from rope to rope to the other side of the pit and try to jump into the little room on that side of the pit. Now take a good look around while collecting the loot.
Direct hint/giveaway:
In that room on the other side of the pit, look up and frob the switch on the ceiling. This will open the bottom of the broken coffin in another part of the catacombs.

Aah, thank you all so much. I'll get right back to taffin'.

Just finished playing this great mission. Got all five secrets but am almost 700 short on loot. There was talk earlier in this thread about a loot list. Did anyone ever produce one?

theImmortalThief on 2/3/2008 at 18:45

ChrisC, I mentioned working on a lootlist, but I never finished it. I can give a few hints for some of the hard to find loot. (The one's I remember of course!)

Crates in the servant's quarters in the fort.
Statues on second floor of the mansion.
Vegetation in child's room.
On the ground near coffin on the other side of the holes in the catacombs.
The back room of the pool area overseeing the main hall.

Hope this helps!
