Found 2095 loot so far. just search everywhere
For the blocked small doors: the switches are not very close...
Congrats madwolf and callum. Thanks a lot.

Great work on a very small, but interesting and hard level. I also used the boulder to get to that special place after being down the well, getting the ball and drowning the arachnids (just for fun). I saw the gardeners for want of a better word - without spoiling it too much) wandering around. Couldn't find the anthropoid type being after he vanished the first time.
What is the Yellow barrel thingy in the glass case on the second floor? I can't do anything with it. I've only got 1875 in loot and wonder if this has anything to do with the balance. I'm a 50 year old Thief fanatic, so someone help a poor old man. Please - pretty please!
Excellent level - I recommend it to everyone. teemac

It's just an amusing thingy - nothing to do with loot. There is a fair bit in that room though.
You're not an old man yet - get some in :joke:

Great mission so far- AND FRIGGEN TERRIFYING! Seriously, I'm almost glad I got stuck just so I could take a break. Anyway- [SPOILER]So I've searched the basement, found the lever, opened the grate, and now I'm exploring the top floor. I've picked up the bottle of wine that goes into your inventory, but I have NO CLUE where to go next....any help?[/SPOILER] Sheesh, all of the stuff suddenly breaking and flying around for no reason is making me extremely twitchy...

@The Mike
[SPOILER]Did you find the key to the second part of the corridor? It's on a windowsill in one of the rooms.[/SPOILER]
I hope this is what you mean if not let me know :)

I tried the boulder trick too but the [SPOILER] bat kept getting me. Is there any way to kill the bat? [/SPOILER]
There is also [SPOILER] one metal door that I can't find a key to. When I first walked into the room there was an apparition and then flying skulls. Behind him is the door. Can you give me a clue about how to open it? [/SPOILER]
madwolf on 25/10/2004 at 18:21
[SPOILER]You need to get into the alcove above the main Hall to find the key. Also I hate that bat too but it's not easy to kill. The only time I got it it exploded and took me with it[/SPOILER]
john9818a on 25/10/2004 at 18:30
Ok thanks Madwolf. :)
I did manage to kill [SPOILER] the apparition in front of the red room. I can still hear the bat but it seems to have disappeared. [/SPOILER]
:)
Edit: [SPOILER] Is the alcove directly above in the ceiling? [/SPOILER]

I have no idea how [SPOILER]to take that bloody bat out :mad: [/SPOILER]
Being a confessing no-ghoster, I usally prefer anyone/anything else in a level lying cold out. With this annoying thing, instead, [SPOILER]I lured it into the room on the right (ground floor) where you can leave by a secrete passage - it doesn't seem to find its way out[/SPOILER]
Big question: The stats screen mentions 12 pockets to pick, but I never encountered anything with pickable on the belt (or whatever it is, a skeleton carries its purse). Is it a counting bug or am I too blind/impatient??? :confused:
I got the ball, but am still uttely short of loot, whith various unopened doors
john9818a on 25/10/2004 at 18:44
I managed to lure [SPOILER] the bat into the far corner as you go up the ramp from the main hallway. It couldn't get out from there either. [/SPOILER]
I'm in the same boat as you dirtyoldman as far as the unopened doors, except I don't have the ball.
:)
