Seven Sisters - Night 3

Bummer. It's over. But there's enough undone stuff (605 loot, 2 secrets and 2 bd's uncollected) for another round. I never found the way to open what looked like [SPOILER]a secret door in a recessed area the entrance to the black sister's lair.[/SPOILER] Is it possible to open it?

Did anyone else try this with the spiders? [SPOILER]Release just one cage. They push her off into a dark area and eventually kill her there. It's easy for you to grab the heart in darkness. And you don't have to deal with more than 1 or 2 leftover spiders. They're easily killed with broad arrows, which you probably have a lot of.[/SPOILER]
Nighty-night, theBlackman! ;)

THANK YOU, LADY ROWENA! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Goodnight. Glad you had fun. As for the question. Yes. But not from where you are.

You need to explore the outside of the temple near the sulphur lake. Try the far right as you face the entrance from the outside.

I finished Night 3. I am so very impressed with this release. Thank you once again, Lady Rowena.

I remember taking a cursory read over some posts in another Seven Sisters thread, mentioning the origin of the Black Sister. I must've played too hastily, because I never encountered the story/background of who she was!

The ambient sounds during the final moments were creepy! I hid in the little transport booth in the first cave fearing the Black Sister was right near me.

[SPOILER]Also, finding the expired cocky criminal who sabotaged the ladder in his hiding place due to his inflated sense of agility had me laughing.[/SPOILER]

I've found only three of the five secrets; has anybody a list I can check? I know I got the secret door into the mill, the crack near the temple with a black diamond, and one other that I can't recall offhand.

Anent the diamonds, I found three, and I know where a fourth (out of seven total) is. I found one in the squishy-mud room, one in the secret route into the temple, and one in the fire-elemental burning-man room. I know another is just past the one-way portal, so I need three more before I go through there. Can anyone give me some hints, please?

Also, I'm just 200 short of the loot requirement. Any easy-to-miss loot out there?

Thanks,

Dafydd

Keep in mind that there is no loot beyond the first portal. (the one you open with the six stones). So if you want to find all the loot you have to go back to the thieves or the pagan area.

You may have missed some nuggets in the burrick area. One in particular is a secret: just outside the entrance there is a torch and a bush. Jump on the rock where the bush is.
Other 3 secrets are in the thieves area.

Black diamonds: [SPOILER]there is one in every zone: water, wind, earth, smoke shadows, fire, black sister, beyond the final portal. I don't know which one you may have missed.[/SPOILER]

BTW, what is the squishy-mud room?:D

Probably what you would call the earth room. It seemed sort of squishy, and it had a lot of vegetation, so I assumed it was muddy, as well.

Thanks, I'll go back a-huntin'...!

Thanks... I found enough loot -- I was missing the secret at the entrance to the burrick cave and also the torc behind Serafina's bathtub (and of course about 700 other loot... but I didn't need that to finish!) -- and I also found all seven of the black diamonds. I finished (ghosting) with 3,320 out of, I think, 4,010 and 4 out of 5 secrets.

I ghosted the entire mission pack... except for one spot: In the second night, returning from Giles's mansion via the sewers (I didn't feel like trying to ghost through the front gate), I climbed down the well via my own rope arrow to the floating boat thing; but no matter how silently I tried to slide into the water, the splash always alerted one or more folks above. (This happened twice, since I had to exit and return with a vial of holy water to cure Ophelia.)

Other than that one trouble spot, I ghosted all three missions. (Were I a beta tester, I would have suggested fixing the sound so it didn't carry so unreasonably far... unless there is some cleverer way out of the mansion that I missed :eww: .)

These missions are exquisite...........thank you Lady R.:)

And I have floundered through , in my own way !!!
But now I am really stuck !!!
In Night 3.......I have found , and destroyed both hearts.........I have
all the stones.............I found his secret stash ..............been to the
mill and through the woods ( great trees, btw ), but I can't find the
portal !?!? I've been looking for an hour......retracing my steps......
but nothing !!!!! It must be obvious because noone has asked this
question.:o I see a " vine " gate behind the waterwheel , and it
" sounds " like a door, but it doesn't open and I can't get over it.
Please help.:)

And thank you , especially for the details ....Pinky, the falling leaves,
" dancers ", music/sounds , the bathtub design behind the sheer
tattered curtains, the acolyte bell ( pure genius ), etc.:thumb:

[SPOILER]Keep looking for a face and walk through the mouth[/SPOILER]once you get there you wont believe you missed it.

Wait !! EDIT: I just realized you missed a very large part of the map, over a wall. You are way off course. First [SPOILER]You need to go back near where you started night 3 and climb over a wall. Get out of the water under the pipe ,if you look across from it there is a short tunnle. When you come out there is a wall brightly lit by a torch. There is some large rocks to climb up and over.[/SPOILER]Then shortly you will find the face you can go into and 3 ghostly sister like creatures. I think the porthole will already be open since you destroyed the hearts.

Bonus hint:[SPOILER]Save before going in the mouth.[/SPOILER]

You don't have to go down that well.[SPOILER]You can go from the grounds near the well into a small garden. Then go through the garden gate to a large dark castle-like building with two guard towers, also on the Giles estate. From inside those castle grounds, you can unlock the front gate between the towers and slip out. You may want to snag the guard's arrows while you are there.[/SPOILER]
I did not recommend fixing that sound because there was another way.:) I did recommend fixing the sound in another well.

I'd be interested to know if you really ghosted the three wind balls or if you had to kill them. That is the only bust I am aware of in the mission pack. I noticed that problem but did not recommend changing it because it was too good as it stood.
