Ghosting. Please clarify.

Wasn't it stated that to get the gold icon on the upper levels of Cragscleft (you know the one, it's on the table with the Inquisitor and his novice facing it), you would need to leave your game on overnight and then the two just might walk away for whatever reason?

If you timed things just right, you could lead a zombie raid on Cragscleft. The trick was ensure that the zombies lost track of you just before spotting a Hammerite. It was laborious, but you could complete the level unseen by living opponents and escape with Basso, leaving the place a gory tomb.

I managed to get past the Inquisitor and his Novice without the zombies. I'd not thought of the zombies, actually. It involved a lot of throwing a cup around, a lot of saves and reloads, but I finally managed to get the item on the table while they were off looking for the source of the noise. Took hours to time it perfectly though, particularly considering the guard. And while they blamed it on rats, I suspect they'd probably assume spooks or spirits. Better then bringing in a massacre, at any rate.

I play in a manner I consider realistic. The occasional torch does flicker out, but all of them don't - I don't blackjack anyone, and nobody sees me. And I always ensured I got every last scrap of gold while I was ghosting. I try to leave as little evidence as possible, but again, I'm more realistic then obsessed while I play. Besides, I always pictured Garrett keeping keys. They might not replace EVERY lock, in case he ever returns..
