Help Petike out : Tips for finishing TG's Thieves' Guild OM faster ? - by Petike the Taffer

A few weeks ago, I decided to replay Thief Gold again, having not done so for several years and having played it previously only on my laptop. I fired up my desktop and gradually crossed the first four missions on Expert. So far, so good. Then came the dreaded Thieves' Guild mission - the only OM I skipped and never really finished.
You probably know why. It's ambitious and starts out in a really cool way, but then just degenerates into a mess of bland, labyrinthine passageways that make you lose your sence of orientation the longer you stroll through them. And that's exactly what happened to me. I've been running in circles for half an hour, with little to no progress. :( My immerssion in the mission has declined significantly. :(
Don't get me wrong. I'm well into the mission, having played it for nearly 2 hours of game time. I'm playing on Expert and I've cleared and unlocked large portions of the mission, including all the doors. I've cleared a mansion of one of the crimelords (AFAIK, the northern one, where the locked safe is). During my playthrough, I found a way into the other hidden half of the sewers - the one with the uniquely shaped steel door, that eventually leads to the mansion with the key to the other mansion's safe.
I'd hate to admit this, but I can't seem to rediscover the entrance into that section of the sewers again, no matter how often I visit every single corner of the underground. :( What should I do to locate the route to that second mansion again, as I did in the first hour of my playthrough, when I was just exploring things ? :erg: I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance for any tips that could get me out of my predicament ! ;) :thumb:
P.S. I've found a walkthrough for the mission on one of the fansites, but it had few screenshots that could help me remember where I found that second route to the second mansion.

OK, I've reloaded my game and found the way to the mansion I've already visited. It's Donal's mansion. So, any tips on how to get to Reuben's ?

Ah, nevermind. :o I eventually found my way out. :eek: :cool: Awesome, now I can go on to Act 2 and start playing The Sword. :D

Whew! Glad you figured it out, enough. Just taking a break and giving up for a bit helps free up some mental resources. :)
