Arrrgg! A puzzler. I just had to download a puzzler. Now I will have to finish it or I just won't sleep nights. Since I am truly challenged when it comes to puzzles, I'm guessing it will be a while before I get a decent night's sleep. Basically, I am on Klepto and am stuck.
[SPOILER]I reached the second level, after the elevator. I got the statue key from the hammer room, and figured out how to use it. Got the scepter. Got the conductive plates and used them. Got the Death Ward and used it but nothing happened. Found the button that makes four urns and tries to zap you. Now there seems to be nowhere to go. One of the notes said "light the torches in the hammer room" and I did that, but nothing happened.[/SPOILER]
Any clues would be appreciated.:confused:

i can't remember what the objectives on this level were - but you're most likely missing:
[SPOILER]did you play the harps in the room you started in?[/SPOILER]
if you need more clues than that about that section:
[SPOILER]you have to play them in an order that sounds the same as the victrola in another room up there[/SPOILER]
as for torches:
[SPOILER]it makes some loot appear is all, i think[/SPOILER]
and as for getting out if you're stuck there:
[SPOILER]you rope arrow up in the library[/SPOILER]
hope that helps! i had the "have to finish this mission no matter what" syndrome with the gussie's dream one, so know how you feel! :)

Thanks, raetsel! [SPOILER]I did play the harps, as well as stole money from homeless children. I am SO wrong. Anyway, I am still about 700 short on loot. I roped up in the library but there didn't seem to be anything to do in there.[/SPOILER]

use the ward [spoiler]after you enter the room and take the stuff[/spoiler]
as for the harps I still haven't gotten it right, though i've tried many times.

Thanks, Sxerks! [SPOILER]I had used the ward first. Guess I was flashing back to the Cathedral or something.[/SPOILER]
Anyway, finally managed to finish all three difficulties.[SPOILER]That chest with the arrow trap was...frustrating.[/SPOILER] :grr:
All in all a very fun mission, despite being so puzzle-ridden. A healing fruit or two would have been nice, though.:p

This was looking to be my favorite mission until I hit the basement , at which point it simply ceased to be any fun at all . Does anyone have a special technique to get past that crazy arrow trap ?

[SPOILER]Sometimes, lights are your friend[/SPOILER]
I assume you mean the chest? or the very bottom.... either way the answer is the same.

never got past the arrow trap, the basement is a pain, but soooooo worth it.
about the death ward
[SPOILER]use it after you loot the room, the book inside explains its use[/SPOILER]
and a general question, which of the three difficulty/play styles/mini games really is your favorite?

Can anyone give me a clue about what to do down there...once I get into the hallway after the mech head lights go off and the walls close in....is there a combination I should know about...........frustrating.

maloo: [SPOILER]In the first room on the second floor there is a parchment that says "crossword puzzle" in your inventory. The answers are the code.[/SPOILER]
EDIT: BTW, maloo-[SPOILER]I guess I'm a little confused. Did you activate the switch before you went into that area? It turns off the mech head, iirc. The walls still close in though.[/SPOILER]
