Since 2004 I have played Thief: The Dark Project twice and won on the normal and hard modes. Now I am playing expert mode in Thief: Gold and guess what? Yesterday I was playing The Sword mission and I found the statue whose tongue you can pull which opens up the underwater gate. I had never known about this before!
So you can imagine my surprise when I swam through the tunnel and came out in the "mini world" and saw the little dollhouses, and when I entered the living room, I really began wondering if this was a bug in Thief Gold! Remember, I had never heard about this part of the game before and I didn't know if I had accidentally discovered some Easter egg that the developers included in the game as a joke.
Anyway, the only thing missing was a cat curled up by the fire that would chase and eat Garrett if he made too much noise! It was a very zany and bizarre addition to Constantine's mansion.

I loved that demented level addition to one of my favorite OMs.

Little land & big world...I still have nightmares set there occassionally. But, it was a really cool thing to stumble upon for the first time.

Almost makes me want to play that again right now. Still love Thief Gold after all these years.

Can you tell me exactly where this statue is?

FYI that section (the big part in particular) is nearly as big as the whole entire "normal" part of the mission!

From memory, its not so much a statue, as a pillar/column, I thought.
Bottom level, with the water passages and canals. You have to jump in one of them, I can't remember which one, head north. You end up in a small room, another area, that has 4 pillars in that room. You have to jump out of the water, and look behind the pillars. There is a small red flip switch to activate a gate in that very room.
God its been forever since I've done that. I know I'm close.
Someone else chime in with more details, etc.

Was it a face switch on a pillar? I'll have to play it again. My memory isn't that good anymore! :laff: Could I be confusing that with Hexen? :o

Does anyone know if this addition is in TDP or just Gold?

I believe it was added to Gold.
