Actually, it wasn't released all that long ago. Maybe for some reason people don't read this thread.
Feel free to ask any questions you wish, or make any complaints regarding the walkthrough. In future editions, I intend to colour code certain parts of the text according to what the hope to acchieve (eg: loot, expert only, essential)

I downloaded 300+ thief1,g,2 missions over a year or more ago and have been playing them with darkloader off and on since then.
I've been playing all the thief1 missions first for the most part except for maybe 3 or so thief2 missions I've played. I'm now to Mines of Margroth which I'm playing on expert. I decided to look for help or a walkthrough when I finished with the opening chamber, the market, and the hammer area. I then found the switched door in the last remaining area across from the caved in thieves guild and made my way into the tomb or mines.
Reading through the forum it seems as though I may have an old copy as there is stuff missing from this mission I have that I see in the walkthrough.
The filename is: minesofmargroth_oldbeta
and the text info says it's version 6 with a release date of april 6, 2001.
I'm not sure where I downloaded it from but I'm pretty sure I got it either from keepofmetalandgold or from 3dactionplanet. If not those two then the thief.math.uh site that seems to have died long ago. Has it been enhanced or updated and included into a mission pack officially now? Should I delete this "oldbeta" and download "Ruins of Origina" which seems to be a thief2 mission now not a thief1? Was Mines of Margroth sucked into thief2 after this release I have? Sorry if I could find this out reading further but I just want to know if I'm wasting my time with this beta. If there's a fuller finished version nonbeta out there or if it was deliberatly put into a mission pack with the intentions of not being played seperately from guilded rivalry and others?

@coniptor:MoM is part of the Ruins of Origina campaign. You can get the current version from (
http://thiefmissions.com.) I have played it recently and noticed no bugs, but it is very hard...
coniptor on 15/8/2003 at 02:22
Thanks. Given that I only had the early beta and it's 6-7Megs and the Ruins of Origina mission pack is 209Megs with four missions. I think I'll grab it and put it at the end of the list. The beta I've been playing is pretty hard in some places so I imagine I'll want to wait till I've gotten through most of the others seing as how this will be a VERY HARD and VERY LONG mission. :D

We are trying to kill Bantar but can't get to him. Does anyone have directions to get through the Morgorthian Crystal tunnels or a map? The shortest route because we don't have any health potions or breath potions left.
Yametha on 28/9/2003 at 01:21
Um, it's not really a maze. Just try to stay in the middle of the tunnels, and don't touch the walls. There are a couple of points you can stop off at for air if you need it.

in this mission one of the objectives is to find "maps" in Hammerite compound: there I've checked everywhere, underground gems' cave included...nothing
I've heard the "completed objective" sound when upon scrolling a document in upper Hammerite quarters, nonetheless the objective stays unchecked in the progress window
bug or miss? :)

A very difficult FM in my opinion. :tsktsk:
