You can always wait and explore the outer parts more easily later, once all the Flood (wisp spiders) and invincible bosses are gone.

Is there any way to avoid, or get rid of the AI throughout this mission? I find it rather challenging even on normal (I was playing the whole set of missions on expert until I saw them).
Or - at least - do they have any weaknesses?

To everyone who feels the AI is challenging in this mission - just stick to the ladders! Having said that, I was finding it maybe not hard but tedious to get down from towers, without being seen. But again - ladders are your friends. And the shadows, of course.

Thanks - ladders are truly useful for me also.
Anyway, I need a hint now.
Clara is dead, I have the magic scroll, but have no idea where to read it - I can't get beyond the barrier to the body.

Also, I've been thinking a lot, but have no idea how to avoid the two switches that are setting themselves back to the original position after i pull them. I tried to figure out the route or behavior of the nearby ghost but it remained useless.
Any ideas?

@ticky:
1) you need to visit each tower of the internal walls and "read" the spells beside the "antennas".
2) the ghost is actually helpful. When he appears, he pulls one of the levers. Both of the levers have to be pulled at the same time, so... you know what to do now... :)

Have to say, this is my favourite mission, hands down.
I've made a little(

Thanks, Purgator! To be honest, I didn't expect this to be anyone's favorite mission in the campaign due to the difficulty. Glad you enjoyed it. And the wisps are harmless, they're the spirits of long-dead Drymians.... but I'm sure you mean the aggressive little buggers who are actually internally called "flood" on the team because their sounds are actually sounds of The Flood from Halo 3.

My mistake, I should have said 'Flood'.
Yeah, this is a very challenging mission, but isn't that what you want from an FM? I've enjoyed finding a corner of this map to bunker down and gather the remnants of my wits, pondering my next move. It's immersive, and as scary as bejesus. Great!
