Well that bonus objective sort of blows ghosting it, now doesn't it? I'm surprised, though, that it does not show up when you [SPOILER]ring the bell. Afterwards?[/SPOILER]:confused: I'll reload to that point, do it and see.
I swear I [SPOILER]picked up the bowl and saw the coins[/SPOILER] . . . I must have forgotten to pick them up when [SPOILER]I saw the glasses were not loot.[/SPOILER] Don't know how I missed the [SPOILER]cup.[/SPOILER] :rolleyes: Thanks!
Well, as a sop to ghosting, I decided to [SPOILER]kill all 6 haunts[/SPOILER] without the wandering ghost noticing. It is all too easy to accomplish the bonus objective with what you have on hand after finding the [SPOILER]secret room[/SPOILER] and from where you are standing. No threat to yourself, just a little judicious [SPOILER]splashing about on the floor with a flash bomb chaser[/SPOILER] takes care of it. The trick is cleaning up the evidence before the ghost returns! I don't know if that counts as true ghosting since the objective is unknown until after you accomplish it. I guess a purist would say no to all that havoc. I think I tend to agree with that purist on that. Thanks again Iceblade!

Hi, friends! :)
I have found four keys and operated four levers but have not opened other doors. What do I have to do now?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Ok, I've resolved the problem. ;)

What a wonderful mission this is - hats off to you, Taffer! I particularly enjoyed your puzzle clues, and the puzzles themselves. They presented solvable challenges, with a bit of brain-racking. And the [SPOILER]patrolling haunts kept things interesting. So glad I saved my holywater until the statue room, when I really needed it![/SPOILER]
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this little gem.

I've just finish it. Quite a mind-cracking... :)

I didn't read the spoilers so forgive me if I repeat two earlier questions.
1. The puzzle with the Hammerite statue doesn't work or I can't figure it out. I've been waiting for several minutes.
2. What is the meaning of the red tiles in the room with the haunt? They all point in different directions but so what?

1. You shouldn't have to wait for anything with that puzzle. What did you do? Or rather, how do you currently think the puzzle is solved?
2. [SPOILER]The red tiles are buttons. You need to walk over these buttons in the order indicated by the arrows to open the last switch door.[/SPOILER]

Hammerite statue doesn't work or I can't figure it out. I've been
waiting for several minutes.
2. What is the
meaning of the red tiles in the room with the haunt? They all point in different directions but so what?1. [SPOILER]Read the plaque before entering. “Show humility before the effigy and thy patience shall be rewarded.” In this case you do not need to kneel, just look downwards as you approach the statue and wait a bit. If you have done it right, you will hear a deep gong-type tone which repeats. For me it took four gongs, and then, in the hollow of the statue pedestal, a scroll appeared. If you do it wrong (not looking down enough, or looking down too much, or off to either side too far, or not close enough to the statue, or ...) nothing will happen. You'll still hear the tone, but no scroll. Go back out and try again. You want the juncture of the statue and the statue pedestal to be just about the middle of your screen when you are standing right in front of the statue. [NOTE: Per Eshaktaar, the best place to stand (or kneel) is directly in front of the statue (get as close to the pedestal as you can), and it takes 20 seconds until the map shows up.]
[/SPOILER]
2. This is a lot more difficult. Take a deep breath: [SPOILER]There are a few things to notice:
• The haunt walks quickly in a clockwise direction around the room. This is opposite the order indicated on the map for the squares in the corners of the room. (You did figure that out from the map symbols, no? If not take another look at the order of the symbols at the top of the Level 1 page, and the location of the symbols at the four corners of the room on the Level 4 page.) Nasty!
• He is holding something you might be able to pick
• The corner tile at the North East corner glows red when he walks over it, and stops glowing when he reaches the South East corner tile. This very tile on the map has the symbol associated with the start of the start of the symbol sequence.
• There is a loot of some sort on a shelf in the far right wall (South)
10. Save your game. There are two more things to notice, but you have to get busted to find them out. Try creeping into the room. No matter how careful you try to be, this haunt goes on alert and starts looking for you. So now you know:
• He has really sharp hearing, and
• The floor is very noisy
[/SPOILER]
Do you have [SPOILER]the moss arrows[/SPOILER]? If not go get them, because [SPOILER]you need silence to get past this haunt (unless you plan to kill it)[/SPOILER]
I suggest you read my ghosting LootThrough for this mission, for the real deal:

Twist & LarryG, looks like I had guessed the solution for the statue puzzle. For some reason, it's not working. I tried every possible angle and distance from the pedestal. This couldn't be a technical issue, could it?
