Yeah, he's gonna get an apple pie for this one :)
I really blew it on this level. I've got quite a few saves I will retreat to, but I'm going to have to go find a point somewhere before I clubbed the begger, which I'm assuming is the guy hobbling along the bridge in a drunken state. Fortunately, I left him alone for most of the level.
Once I got the rope arrows, I retraced the whole area looking for second story windows to cruise. I guess I missed a few. I'm not far off the magic 2400, like The Enterprise, so I won't spend too much time on gathering the quota. Getting to some of those windows was very frustrating and I don't relish doing it all over again.
As for killing the mage, I think I'll use the old run around the Doric columns routine, because he broadcasts when he's gonna strike which gives a guy with good timing a bit of a defense.

The beggar isn't the guy with the limp that walks across the bridge. If you go across the bridge that he walks over, turn left (I think) and walk way over into the dark part, there's a beggar sitting over there. Give him the coins.

Ok, I found the right guy now. Unfortunately, he won't give me the horn if he's unconscious. So I have to retreat back to before I clubbed him. <sigh>

Not that this means anything, but I found a ring valued at 100 on one of the storefront dummies, which I had previously missed. All the other jewlery I got. So that is enough to make 2400. Now all I have to do is re-acquire the rest of the loot, and return to the caves to meet the mage. This time I won't spend the 2 flashbombs on the haunts. I'll kill them using holy water.
But first, back to those irritating second floor window maneauvers. And I really am NOT looking forward to trying to get to that cave with the pedestal.

I forgot to ask.....does it matter how the 2400 in loot is divided up? The objective is specific on how much gold and how much gem and goods I should have. I don't want to get to the end and have that objective not ticked off because I didn't have enough gold, but overshot the gems.
Nightwalker on 14/3/2002 at 19:40
Yes, it does matter. When the objectives state that you have to have a specific amount of gems or gold, etc. then you have to keep an eye on those totals. You'd better check before you go any further. :)
Clock on 14/3/2002 at 20:40
Oh no !!
I've overshot both gems and goods, and I'm 500 shy of the 1900 in gold I'm supposed to find. I know the room with the mage has 100 gold, so I need to come up with 400 gold that I haven't located yet :(
That's a lot of gold.....

I'm afraid it's been too long since I've played it to remember exactly where I got things. Did you find the stash in the end of the billards table in the building by the warehouse? I can't remember what's in there, but it might be gold. Did you get into the apartment across from the side of the small chapel. It's above the water and it's tricky to get into, but I do remember loot in there. There's also a white balcony that leads to a room with some loot. I'd replay it to make a loot list, but I just don't have the time right now.

[SPOILER]I pass through the translator.
- Low than the store with the window there is an invaluable stone in height with the top of the gate.
- While playing billiards = a diadem
- While going up on the table of the magus and while jumping in the table = a diadem
- Not very far from the place or the river opposite the small temple finishes and while going on the edge, there is a balcony and in the trunk of the captain = of the money.
- One can shutter the gold of Cunny, for that it is necessary to put oneself behind the pillar of his shop and when the robber passed, one can take what there is, the main thing being not to meet it in the streets = End of Fm .
- In the big white temple there is a gold hammer in a window.
- Opposite the round tower, there is a balcony which gives at a magician and inside a blue chest.
While espèrant to have to help[/SPOILER]

Thank you Nightwalker and Lady Jo.
That did help. I found 100 gold in that apartment across from the little chapel. And the gold hammer in the large chapel I missed. But the billiard room ??
Do I have to play billiards in order to gain access to what looks like a compartment at the far end of the table?
I know that there was 100 gold on the table in the room with the mage...but jumping "in" the table ???? Is there a secret compartment somewhere?
