Oh taff me. I think I may have stumbled into a possible bug and need to start the whole thing over (yup, one quicksave :tsktsk:). I had some sort of chalice or goblet in my inventory and for some random reason I thought I would try dropping it onto the empty pedestal that is located up in the center of the lava room with the sarcophagus. Now it's become unfrobbable dead weight and dropping it didn't produce any noticeable effect... am I going to need this goblet for anything later on?

This was a design decision. Mechanically, you only need both goblets to touch the pedestal to produce the result, so if they did so and then were, say, thrown into the lava, it would still work because they had touched it. However, it was suggested by the testers that this may be confusing, so they become unfrobbable to try to show the player that they have completed a necessary step correctly.

I used (on Pressing Machine ) Copper Ore and Tin Ore. I have Refined Tin only.

Yeah, you're fine (so long as you don't waste all chunks of copper or tin ore before you get a refined product). I had wanted to allow more than the single product to be made with those machines, but in the end I was running out of Dromed resources and things were pretty complex already, so I just stuck with the single product, in part to avoid confusion.

Are there rope arrows in this mission and I missed them early on? It seems as if one is necessary in the catacomb area. This has to be the best exploring mission I have ever played. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

never mind. found a vine arrow. wish I would have found it before the catacombs!

Are there rope arrows? There are some vine arrows in the maw. Look on some of the big Leaves as you enter. You would need these for a few objectives, and in the catacombs.

There are no rope arrows, but there are vine arrows. As the name implies, vine arrows tend to be found on/near vines. Keep your eye out.

Thanks for all the work you've put into that mission!
This is exactly the right thing I needed to overcome my current lack of motivation to do anything related to Thief.

The Amulet is probably one of the easiest secondaries to find. There is a big clue in the Mechanist temple in the book of scripture sitting on the podium.

As for the Tear, it is in Warehouse Gamma.

"And the Father didst anoint the Builder's gear with divine water [...]" But in my lack of divine water, I didst throw mine blessed Hammer into Karra's Gear to acomplish mine greedy goal :ebil:

EDIT: Finished with all goals acomplished :D

Woo! You're probably one of the first to actually finish (so far as I know). Grats!

There are multiple endings and bonus objectives.
