I am having trouble with the summoning ceremony. I've placed everything, but nothing has happened yet except that freaking great EYE keeps peering down at me.
I don't think I have the book placed properly. It is right over the number 9, but it is floating in the air above the number, not actually on the floor. Sometimes I can get it to sit on its side, but never, wouldn't you know it, have I been able to get it to sit on its side on the 9. Does this matter? I know the ceremony can take a while, but I figure five minutes should be enough, and I've certainly waited that long -- even went out and got my coffee set up for tomorrow morning and brushed my teeth, and still nothing when I came back.
...OK it's been ten minutes now. I went back and reset everything just to make sure I had all the right things in the right places, and I do. Still nothing.
Bah. THis is never going to happen. I must have done something to mes it up earlier in the mission. That's the only thing I can think of. What a shame. No anti-undead weapon. Not sure what to do now....

Some people had trouble with this. It just wouldn't work and I don't think the reason for it was ever discovered. The weapon is neat and useful in a moderate way but certainly not required to complete the mission.
Fraser on 9/9/2008 at 02:29
After doing a little research, I may have found the reason. It seems that if you have knocked out or killed the Wizards, the scene doesn't trigger. And I have definitely killed the Wizards. They're at the bottom of the canal.:cheeky:
Seriously, I must ghost the mission next time. This leaving of corpses everywhere is just so gauche.

Argh. I've destroyed the CYlix, but the level doesn't end. Two quests show as incomplete in my Objectives, which is ridiculous. I was hoping that they would clear out once I destroyed the Cylix, because I've done them, but no go, I'm afraid.
The two quests remaining are: Return the Cylix to the Cardinal -- well, obviously I've done that -- and clear out your stash from the rented room -- also done, and picked Mercedes' pocket, too.
So I guess I don't get to do the third part of this mission, after all this. What a bummer.

It's a common problem Fraser, although it never happened to me. Press ctrl+alt+shift+end to finish the mission and move on.
Oh and I'm happy you're up for ghosting these missions, they're a blast! :D

um, i don't get my sword in this one? (again?)
Some days ago I finally played it too, after giving up some months ago because I hated all those undead. The thing is, on Hard and Expert you'll get a dagger, so this mission is actually harder on Normal than on Expert. If you're not too far, I would advise you to restart on Hard.

i had no choice in that matter, the objectives were'nt checking off so i had to run the 1.18 patch, bye bye saves! ~SIGH!~ :p :tsktsk:
i am playing on hard, and i did'nt get a dagger among the gear back at my room! :erg: :confused:

It isn't in your room - you have to steal it! :cheeky:
Check your map for a wizard's guild, I believe it's at the east.
When you enter, you'll immediately see it, but you'll have to do something to get it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DAMMIT! i patched to 1.18 but just now, after delivering the damn Cylix, the objective isnt checked off!!! :mad: :grr: :mad:
(in time and no hammers alerted!)
i understand what a phenominal amount of work this FM was, and that it almost did'nt get released at all, but geeze louise, the thing is still buggy!!!
oh, and i have read the damn "tip" too, and still don't have the objective to get the blade!
well, i guess i will just move on to a different FM then, cuz as much as i would like to play this one, if i can't get the objectives to check off, then there's no point in playing (to me): that cheat to end the mish is just that, a cheat - of the point in doing things and getting loot that u will use to get more gear for next mish! :nono:
(the first time was my fault - not patched, but to still happen AFTER the patch! that's a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach of a bug!)
