Nice mission :thumb:
Completed on Expert difficulty in 17 minutes and 50 seconds.
The atmosphere is superb with the spooky soundtrack, pitch black darkness, deserted hallways and some frightening moments. Really great job there :thumb::thumb:
Nice touch with the flare also.
On a negative note: the level is very linear and there's not much too do except turning a few switches. And some scattered loot would've been nice, as Metras is a Thief after all.
Story is pretty thin but that didn't really bothered me. While there's no background story of Metras and it's unknown in what place he exactly ended up, there are some revealing books around that shed some light of the last activities of the place.
I expected more from Master Joran though. Some sort of aura perhaps, and a bit more strength. What's the need of 20 holy water arrows if you just need one to kill him and his minions ;).
An atmospheric and spooky debut mission overall. It doesn't quite impress on all fronts but it was certainly intriguing. Certainly not a bad effort for a debut mission!
I hope some story questions get answered in SoE 2.
Speaking of the sequel, I hope it's still in development. Last I read in this thread was that it's well on it's way, but that was two years ago :(
Masterthief3, if you read this can you give any news?

He's still active, so that's a good sign. I loved the dark atmosphere in Shadows of Eidolon, so I'm still hoping for a sequel. :)

Yup!
I've been lazy in getting any updates to the forums due to a lot of other projects and upcoming trips (eg., Blizzcon), but rest-assured I'm still working on all my FMs. :)
Stormrunner I'm planning on releasing first since it's a direct tie-in to Shadows of Eidolon. Shadows of Eidolon 2 will follow shortly after Stormrunner is released. I'm also planning on re-releasing Shadows of Eidolon with bugfixes and additional content (such as a briefing) in order to better transition it to my upcoming FMs. Lastly, I have a small, experimental FM which I may release before everything else if I can work the bugs out. :thumb:

Great :D
I can't wait for any of it to arrive. Hopefully this summer.
And ditto about the arrows Potato refers to. Of course they should serve a purpose in the Eidolon series, but perhaps in that experimental FM you talk about !?

Reading this thread caused me to play Shadows of Eidolon during midday break. Nice one, masterthief3! I'd like to see more missions by you. :)

Ohh can't wait for more! Loved loved the darkness of this FM. :) This one sticks in my memory.

Normally I skip horror missions but I had to complete this because it's so different. Five flares out of five.
