Where can I download Left for Dead now the Cheap Fanmission Download site has been closed?

Nightwalker on 23/5/2003 at 15:04

If you have mIRC or are willing to learn to use it, you can download it from other players on StarChat at #thief-fms. The details are in this (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=68692) thread

You can also now download it from (http://www.keepofmetalandgold.com/) The Keep of Metal and Gold

Great mission! And to describe it as "non-linear" is almost an understatement!!!

I'm doing fairly well, but am at a loss to discover Thomas or Eliazbeth's bedrooms. I'ver read this topic, and the only hint I've seen is

[SPOILER]that they are on the second floor, near the library to the north.[/SPOILER]

I must need glasses or something, because I don't see them. Help please!

First question, Vandi: [SPOILER] Are you actually in the Library? You would have had to flip a lever to move a bed, then climb down a ladder, etc. [/SPOILER]

If that's where you are, then [SPOILER] find the stairs leading up to the upper floor. There's a door off of the walkway up there that takes you into a small side hall. The bedrooms all open off of it. [/SPOILER]

vandi on 26/5/2003 at 04:06

Yes, Nightwalker, that's where I am! So, as I was carefully remapping the area to better describe it to you....well, there it was....

[SPOILER]you have to actually enter the library and then go to the very front end![/SPOILER]

Good thing it wasn't a spider.....it would have bit me! :o

Thanks much!

My only suggestion for this mission is to create better hints or something for the locatin of the damn pagan who did this to you. I could not locate him without cheating because once I missed him in the begining that was it for me, I never thought to go back.

How do we know you didn't knock out Schwaa and stuff him in a closet? How do we know you didn't force him to make FMs for you?

Don't worry, Schwaa! I'll call the police to get you outta there. Just keep kicking and screaming until we arrive! I'll call the police right after I grab a snack and watch TV for a few hours!!! You might get hungry so I hope you have some chips or a sandwich, I could be awhile... ...but don't worry! Just don't let him find your Secret Vault of Custom Objects or the world is doomed!!!

A little late, I see, but I've finally finished this terrific mission. Thanks a bunch, Schwaa2, et al. Great job, everyone!

I hung in there until I'd gotten all the loot (thanks for that last bit of loot, NW and PS' loot list) and all the objectives and enjoyed it all the way. I could have sworn I was able to frob Elizabeth's brush in an earlier playthrough. But I can't now. All I see is a faint skull outline on the back of the brush that I don't recall having seen before. I'm suspecting this has something to do with the Easter Egg but I can't seem to make it work again. Any ideas?

These next comments just in case there are bugs of some kind that might get fixed later and not criticism, Schwaa2. I'll have to play this again, it seems. I didn't read the darkskinned pagan objective well enough and killed him. Then, when I finished the mission, the statistics showed 1 innocent killed and the no-kill objective failed. I guess only Thomas is okay to kill. But the no-blackjack objective also failed and I didn't even bother to pick up my blackjack from my grave. So, I don't know what that's all about. Plus the new objective notice came on the screen when I picked up the last piece of loot but didn't show on the objectives screen right away.

Thanks again, Schwaa2! Who needs Thief III? :)

After all the years I have played Thief, I guess I need a 101 lesson in using vine arrows.
In this mission I am not able to retrieve the vine arrows. If I go high enough to highlight the arrow to retrieve it, Garrett falls to his death. If I go any lower, the arrow will not come out. Am trapped at present on the stone archway near the lagoon/caves after finding a secret.
Where in the heck do you put the arrows when trying to retrieve the medallion? That walkway is so far up I cannot spot the "gap" that is mentioned in this forum. The slanted tree next to the walkway tree will not accept vine arrows. Getting very frustrated trying for the medallion, sapphire and losing arrows.:sweat:

Its in the tree city in the one of the areas you can't reach normally. You'll have to use multiple arrows to get up there.
