Yes, long slog or long adventure, depending on how you look at it. You are probably 1/8 to 1/4 of the way through mission 2. Be warned that there are many semi-hidden switches that open up doors in remote areas (you cannot see the effect nearby), and you may find keys far from where they are used. So there is a lot of running around to do. This thread, although long, already has answers to many of the questions that have come up. As to the locked door you mention located near the lockpick, I am not sure which one you mean. If you can see an elevator through a window in that door, then [SPOILER]it cannot be opened (see my post on this subject a few posts back).[/SPOILER]As for the gear, it can be found eventually. ;)

Thanks smithpd :)
I suppose i could have checked through all 13 pages of this thread, but i decided asking would be more productive.
[spoiler]I am now far into the mission and have gotten to the Catherdal. I've just opened the gates of hell with the silver cog and killed 2 semi-transparent haunts, but now have no idea what to do. I can't open the safe behind the painting in the room on the left, in the corridor with 2 doors to the left and right. I've flipped the switch in the rafters of the church. There's also a room with a pressure predestal, on the way to the crate climbing challenge. I don't have anything with which to keep it down, does it do anything important? I am playing on normal, have the sword, can't exit the catheral, opened all 3 jail cells and explored them.
What do i do now, i've read this thread and believe the lava pit is where i must go next, but where? the only thing i haven't done yet is get the book under the porch with that mean haunt, is this the next step? please tell me this mission will end soon...

shadows,
You are close to the end. The gates of hell switch[SPOILER]opened a door to the lava pit area.[/SPOILER]To get there,[SPOILER]you must exit the dungeon area you are in, go back to town and go right to find a major door now opened. To exit the area you are in, just walk out if you had the foresight to weigh down the floor switch with a body. If not, then you must flip the switch behind the painting that you noted. [/SPOILER] The way to open that safe (slide the painting) is[SPOILER]press a button in the nearby room with the holy water font. The button is to the right of the font on the wall (hard to see).[/SPOILER]

i hate this mission. i've played 3 minutes and it fails me for blackjacking a guy, it triggers the no kill objective. he is clearly not dead. this is the sort of thing that is supposed to be fixed before release. if this is the first bug i've encountered, and its 3 minutes i hate to see the rest of the bugs. its visually pretty uninteresting, and it crashed when i finished the first mission. not my cup of tea at all.
smithpd on 24/11/2003 at 07:35
Blackjacking kills innocents in most of this mission pack. You have a no-kill objective. There is no need to BJ innocents. That's not a real problem, but I would say that if that bothers you, then you should probably not play the mission. There is much worse ahead.:rolleyes:
Ottoj55 on 24/11/2003 at 10:14
its plain poor design then, i have a mission released with a blackjack limit and a no kill objective working correctly as separate goals, at one time they were screwed up, but i fixed it so that a blackjack is not a kill and a kill is not a blackjack, it wasn't tough once i figured out qvartraps, so i don't see why anyone releasing a mission should choose to do so with such a horrible bug, at the least it could say on the goals, no blackjack, no knockout, in fact please ghost, i've limited your play style to reflect mine so that the mission is no fun for anyone but me.

I am on mission 4 and need help, this thread doesn't have the answer i need.
[spoiler]I've just flipped a pedestral switch in the area that had to be accessed by running across the pipe over the spiral staircase, and the gate for the room with a priest in an alcove and walkways above has opened. But i've checked all other areas and my grey and yellow key doesn't open a thing. I can't jump to the priests alocve either and i don't think the window will break if i cross the pipes.
Also on mission 5 i have a red key and nothing to open and no place to go to, i've tried all combinations of the levels in the underground station in the water tunnel.[/spoiler]

Shadows, on mission 4:
[SPOILER]If you are where I think you are: the window will break, although jumping all the way across on the pipes is the wrong way about it. You should see a grate on the ceiling near the pipe next to the window -- vine arrow that, jump over to the window, and smash your way through. If you time it perfectly you can avoid alerting the guard in the room, although it's easier just to run for it after that.[/SPOILER]
Mission 5 I am not entirely sure where you are, but:
[SPOILER]If you found a dock with a submarine, you can jump in and find a small Mechanist base. If I remember correctly the key you get there unlocks a door you find just a bit later (it's right past a tunnel with a camera -- there should be a door on the left and the right, the right one is unlocked and leads to a dead end, while the left one is locked and is the door that gets unlocked with the key).[/SPOILER]

Thank You. :)
I am on mission 8. I am all for puzzles if i have time to work them out, but this takes the cake.

[SPOILER]While on top by woman grab arrows shoot woman standing there and jump down into waterwith her body, carry her over to area by beast thing there , lure him out and when you have a chance get her closer to the water tunnel then grab the book and take her into the water with you and swoosh up you both go...here is the trick..you need to throw her down just about the time you land. It may take a few tries to get her body by the water shoot but it works[/SPOILER] also earlier in the mission when you go down a wooden ramp by an archer [SPOILER]and a bottle at the top you need to get to open gates over the lava you can aquire many arrows if you go back and fourth grabbing the arrows stuck in the wood as you dodge em..I got 7 with no health loss and ran into the room only to appear elseware[/SPOILER] This mission is a bad trip but a good change...LOL Off I go to see whats next
