A great little puzzley mission with a nice atmosphere, and the difficulty was just about right for me. I got temporarily stumped a few times, but never to the point of getting really angry at the mission. The clues and subtle guiding were really good. Even when I ended up having to search around for something, I never got the feeling like "it could be anywhere", and it didn't take me too long to twig to where I was really supposed to look. The ring on the zombie was neat too. I really have no major complaints, it was short and sweet and very well done.

Thx Cardia and fortuni !

@ FenPhoenix

I had real joy in watching you walkthrough. There is also other ending available in the game.

Pretty good mission, but the puzzles are tricky!
I love your use of custom resources, Kurhhan. The atmosphere is quite thick, very good job on that. :D

In search of the other ending...

I noticed two things that weren't in the walkthrough...

At the pulpit in the "church" is another scroll case talking about how the high priest's tomb was sealed, and the high priest was found surrounded by zombie versions of his guards, and you need holy water to break through the secret wall to his tomb.

After you use the horn and the burrick breaks into the "church", there are four rocks around the evil altar that can be picked up. I haven't figured out what to do with them, though...

@ prjames

It's only the debris from big boulder. Nothing to do with this.

@ prjames, try to find an item that is hidden near the remains of a certain priest. You will need to use your crowbar to get it.
