I was fooling around with this secret and got under the pedestal without using Dromed.

Fabulous mission Sharga .

Art work and design are supurb and it looks like you could build a whole set of missions with your new storyline. Are you planning to develop this further? :thumb: Neat way of signing your mission.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to use the fog effect since I have had to use an old computer (a real life and flesh thief broke into my place a few weeks ago and stole my state of the art machine). Lots of suspense regardless, especially since I had to get real close to distingush whether a tree beast was inanimate or not, and by that time I found out that it was real, it was usually to late. Also got caught by the mouth when I tried to fetch the emerald. The 'save' feature sure came in handy.

Thanks for the hint on the cyrstalline gem, Nightwalker . The gem wasn't there in normal so I had assumed that it wouldn't be there in expert either. Come to think of it I don't think there are any gems available in Normal. As for the Amethyst, if you haven't already found it

[SPOILER]its way up in the tree in the middle of the swamp - the tree with the 2 keeper corpses.[/SPOILER]

Came up with only 1155 of a total 1480 possible loot. The stats also indicate that there is a pocket that is pickable. Missed it. Was anyone able to find it?

Also noticed that the stats indicate '0' secrets available. So I have no idea which 3 secrets you are alluding to Sharga.

[SPOILER]Was able to get through the gate puzzle to obtain the civilization doc & also found some neat stuff on the beams above the emerald. However, I have no idea if these are secrets or not.[/SPOILER]

DreamWalker, that's too bad about the break-in. I know I'd have a fit if our main computer was taken. But I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless.

Yes, the gems only appear for the difficulty that they are needed on.

I do plan on making a follow-up mission which will be an ambush on the craymen HQ. (See link below for some out-of-date pictures) But it will be some time before this is released since it's a much bigger mission.

And it looks like you found all three secrets. I didn't make them "Secrets" because I found that some people hate having a secret notification pop up in the game and I figured people would know that they were secrets since they involved some thinking and weren't just out in the open.

Maybe the loot count is off. I have no idea how much loot there actually is but I can tell you this: there aren't any pickable pockets. There is a purse, perhaps that's why it thinks that you can pick-pocket. But I think 1480 sounds like a reasonable number. I didn't really keep track of the loot but you guys can put your heads together and make a list and I'll try to help as best I can remember to see if you found it all.


Glad you liked it Nightwalker, and now you'll get to help other people who can't find all 5 gems for ages to come. ;)

Did anybody do this:
[SPOILER]Use the fire-trap near the emerald to your advantage, just lead the cray-ghost behind it and he'll be repeatedly fired upon, if he escapes then lead him through again until he bites the dust. [/SPOILER]

I know, but I always try to play on ghost mode.

whooops, I was about to search the entire swamp back to search for a missing object (I'm used to forget something along the way...) :cheeky:

thanks for the enjoying time, Sharga :)
