I have the patched version of Thief 2 (1.18), but in Calendra's Legacy mission #1, it crashes to desktop whenever Arkhyn's skull is alerted [spoiler]by frobbing the bone, stomping too loud or approaching the stone in the corner[/spoiler]. How can I fix this?

I just played that over the weekend, and I had the same problem.
I just had to [SPOILER] ghost the room, and stay away from the rock in the corner. [/SPOILER]Which was a bummer because I really wanted the [SPOILER]rocks to fall in and to be able to climb out that grave! Oh well.[/SPOILER]
Also, I'm still unsure I've uncovered all the secrets of that tomb. For example, in the room with the [SPOILER]lich, the floor dops a bit when you are on it; [/SPOILER]but I've not figured out what that does.
And, in the room with the [SPOILER]three chests, the one wall opens to let you out. What about the opposite wall? Any way to open it?[/SPOILER]
Anyway, I've searched out and read what threads I could find, and I've seen that others have the same problem we do - and got the impression it is just one of those bugs that was never figured out or fixed.
Cheers,
Martek

[SPOILER]The pressure plate in the "lich" room activates a fire arrow trap back at the entrance. Be very careful of walking down the center of any hallways after activating this.[/SPOILER]
As for the other wall in the three-chest room, no it does not open.

The problem with ghosting the room is that [spoiler]you can't get the silver nugget worth 50 gold buried with all the boulders without climbing down from the cemetery above, taking heavy damage from the gas in the process[/spoiler] which is necessary if you want to get all 1605 loot like I did last night ;)
My next goal is to get all the loot in Mission 2.
Also, [spoiler]the pressure plate in the fake lich room activates gas if you stand on it for long enough - at least, I started coughing and losing health after camping on it for a while.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I was able to get the gold nugget from the grave by dropping into the grave near the ladder and taking the nugget without moving on the rocks. I didn't "sink" into them (and the gas) unless I tried moving around. But, instead of moving around, after I took the nugget, I jumped onto the ladder. I was able to grab hold of it and thereby got the nugget without taking any gas damage.[/spoiler]
Still, I only have 1508 of 1605. But there's at least one NPC still with a gold purse I need to snatch.
Thanks for the words on the lich room platform.
Cheers,
Martek

Update: It seems that it only crashes if I alert the skull AFTER entering the room and taking things. If I just pelt it with holy water, he alerts but the game does not crash.

Hi, Great FM, big fun. I just finished the first part and all I found was 20 gold :confused: Then at the 'finish' screen it said there was like 5000+! I'm usually pretty good at finding stuff but jeez! Am I missing something here? (besides the loot of course :p)
*durn, after reading some more I see I missed a tomb too, jeepers.

It's just a bug, and it's nothing to do with CL, it's the game in general.

Yeh thanks, I read about the tomb but figured it came later in the game (I dunno why) so I went back and did it but then got stuck figuring out how to leave sooo back I came and found that walk through. Very helpful.
