I can't help but ask: IS THE TRANSLATION DONE YET?
Mosley on 25/1/2006 at 17:18
Ulib, Bukary,
I'm also playing FF 2 in the Polish version.
Ulib : [SPOILER]where did you find the special library key ? I've only found four keys up to now among those the key to the canal. I also have the key to brother Adam's room but can't find where this room is situated. Can you please help me ? Thank you[/SPOILER]
Bukary : [SPOILER] is it possible to have a brief summary of the story in FF 2 ? I already have two objectives completed, found four keys and 1330 loot. The story takes place in an abandonned hammer monastery but what happened there with all these skeletons lying around everywhere ? You can tell Timon his mission is excellent as usual and I like it very much but I feel very frustrated not being able to understand what to do. Thank you[/SPOILER]
Mosley
Cool, calm, collected :)

@ Mosley: When you start the mission, you can find a golden orb with a cross on it in your inventory. Well, find 2 more and also find a place to use them. But i´m afraid, i can´t tell more details, i only remember searching for many hours everywhere for secrets and passageways. And there are a lot of them :ebil:
Edit: corrected a number

Mosley, I'll talk to Timon. Perhaps he'll write an "offical" summary of FF2 that I'll try to translate. I would gladly translate the whole mission (with the help of incredible, as usually, Linda:) ), but I don't have the time right now. :(
BTW, if anyone is interested, here's (
http://timon.thefreebizhost.com/ZL2sekret.html) the list of secrets (screenshots).

Most odd. I didn't have [SPOILER]any golden balls (!) about my person to start with - somehow, one has just appeared along with some lockpicks which I didn't have earlier. I got some new objectives along the way, maybe that triggered these items. I'd love to know what the new objectives are, and the old ones. I've done something right though because an optional obj. appeared and is ticked[/SPOILER]

That would be great Bukary!
I can't understand why it takes so long for the betatesters to finish the english translation, and why they haven't contacted Timon :nono:
I've pm'd both of them (Van Hellsing and JacekA) to ask about it's status but so far no reply. :erg:

Thanks Ulib and Bukary for your help :thumb:
I am slowly but steadily progressing [SPOILER]I have now five keys and already found how to use some of them, I visited the grotto or crypt () and saw the ghost of the young girl, I have now three objectives completed and more loot (1440). This mission is so good I feel it is kind of silly to do it without understanding a single word (except for brat : brother and komnata (reminds me of a Russian word : does it mean bedroom ?) and I'd say the story looks very compelling. I really LOVE all Timon's fan missions, I've done them all they show a lot of imagination and atmosphere. Thanks Bukary for asking Timon about the translation. Lol if I can finish the mission with all objectives complete in Polish that would be great :laff: Ulib have you completed the mission yet ? Yes, I found one globe with a cross on top of it thanks for the tip about the other two ;) [/SPOILER]

Sorry for the mistakes. Perhaps someone will rewrite this properly?
In the first part of Forgotten Forest Garrett finds the secret entrance to the monastery in the abandoned tomb for monks. The second part starts with Garrett entering the monastery gate.
One of the notes on the wall next to the gate says who and why built this mission and warns the player about Timon's malice. One needs to remember about this while playing.
Right at the beginning Garrett meets some haunt and finds scattered bones. The question rises: what has happened in this abandoned monastery? Looking for some valuables lying around, Garrett finds a secret place in the basement. In this hiding-place there is some dead body (monk) and some note for other monks who look for something in the monastery. It says about a heresy and monks' mutiny. About some new religion, about Hammerites. The description of mutiny explains what was the cause of massacre. The other parts of the story can be read in the official history of the Order. It is located in the abbot's room and in the library. There you also find out about the mysterious Order of the Sword (objective: "As you remember, there was no tomb of the third abbot at the burial ground. Find out why. Perhaps his tomb waits for you loaded with treasures").
If you read the official history of the Order, new objective appears: "Find Gustavus' astronomical charts and make them yours".
A note that can be found in the vineyard says about some secret principle. Objective: "Find out about this secret principle". Garrett finds it in the mine and starts looking for the Sword and Shield of Metelon. Objectives: "Find the Sword of Metelon" and "Find the Shield of Metelon".
Objective: "Find out about this secret principle". In order to read the principle and get the key one needs to use three orbs. Garrett already has one. The other two can be found the monks' rooms. One in the abbot's room (secret switch!) and other under the council room (secret banner!).
It's good to search around the small library in the rooms that belong to the guardian of novices and take a good look at the green statue (the book on the shelf has different content and there are different objectives about this statue).
The visit in the dark cell or in the workshop makes ghost objective appear. Objective: "A ghost in the mine? There's never enough ghosts in one place? Find out if it exists". In order to fulfill this objective one has to find the gost in the mine.
In brothers' rooms one can get the objective about Adam's hiding-place and his key. Objective: "Find loot hidden by kleptomaniac". In order to fulfill this objective one has to look in the workshop.
Nearby we can find closed cell where lived one of the monks and some information about his disappearance. In the diary we can find Adam's secret and find out about his connections with the lost brother. The body is in the sewers. There's also some incredible possibility waiting for everybody in the sewers: (heavy spoiler!) you can talk to Timon and receive some present.
Wneh you reach some blocked entrance, new objective appears: "Find some entrance to the library".
This entrance is connected with the angel. The key for the vault is connected with the green statue.
It is good to check upper shelves in the library.
All objectives:
1) What was third abbot's secret?
2) Time to go home. Get out of the monastery undergrounds after you've done everything else.
3) Find out more about the mysterious massacre.
4) Find the secret principle.
5) Find some entrance to the library.
6) Find the Sword of Metelon.
7) Find the Shield of Metelon.
8) A ghost in the mine? There's never enough ghosts in one place? Find out if it exists.
9) Find loot hidden by kleptomaniac.
10) Greenpeace suggests: do not destroy haunts. (Optional)
11) Now you have to kill'em all! (You should have listened our advice - Greenpeace)
12) Steal 3000.
13) Steal 4000.
14) Steal 5000.
15) You're a Master Thief! Even the dead body cannot hide away from you. (Bonus)
16) Curiosity is thief's virtue. (Bonus)
17) Find Gustavus' astronomical charts and make them yours. (Optional)

WOW is all I can say - lots of lovely objectives. Thank you for the explanation.
Mosley on 26/1/2006 at 18:39
Bukary,
Thank you very much for your translation of the mission story and objectives.
That's really kind :)
Mosley
Cool, calm, collected :cool:
