Cannot find last Haunt in RTC

Hi all,

I'm having a very frustrating problem in Thief Gold, Return to the Cathedral. I've completed the entire mission except for Brother Murus' final request, which is to kill all the haunts (such BS). I have killed 8 of the 9 haunts in the mission, but I can NOT find the last one to save my life.

I have checked the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors of the Cathedral, the basement, all of St. Yora's, all of the winter tunnels beneath the cloister (including the storage cellar and secret room), the entire factory, the observatory and the building it's in, the graveyard, the backyard with the well, and the garden with the pond (next to the back door of the Cathedral). I have also explored the library.

Despite all of that, I haven't even heard a haunt, much less seen one. I have never found Thief this frustrating before.

Are there any locations I've missed? As far as I can tell, the only place I haven't been yet is the armory. I can't believe it would be this hard to find a haunt. They are one of the noisiest enemies in the game. Maybe it just disappeared?

Of course, if it left it's usual patrol area, it could be anywhere. If that is the only objective left to achieve and you've been all over the place you care to, ctrl+alt+shift+end.

Thanks for the help. I didn't want to skip the mission but this was ridiculous.

I managed to account for all of the Haunts except the one at St. Vale's, who I remember alerting earlier in the mission. Can't remember if I killed him or not, but he's no where to be found.

I'm beginning to think he may have gotten stuck in one of the walls, as I've had that problem with NPCs on this setup (dual core running Vista). It may be in this case that he's stuck far enough into a wall that he can't be seen or heard. It might sound far fetched, but there was a zombie stuck in one of the pillars near the back door, so I think it's possible.

Yeah, it's not farfetched at all even for new games. Sorry it's gotten sucky for ya.

I had this trouble too, and i found it at the down floor at st. jenell's. Haunts sometimes fall from the first floor to the other because there would be a bug in the patrol route.:confused:
