How do I finish the goal "find out the secret of the locked switch and steal whatever is behind it"? I unlocked the secret door in the well and went through and stole the jewels behind the door in the crypt, but there must be something else to do that I haven't done yet because it still has no check beside that goal. I'm playing in expert mode.

I too was stumped and asked the author. In the
Hammer chapel,not the church you need to shoot a rope arrow and climb to the top of one of the wooden beams on either side of the walk.There is a switch up there that opens a secret room.(look around for it).You will find the previous owner of the cottage
and answers for later on.Retrieve everything in the room.The lock at the cottage opens a vault in the chimny.Get everything from there too.If you haven't already get the Psychics key from his place.You will have too
find a ladder in an alleyway with a switch and go into his place.Also slash the tapestry
and check this room.The final objective is in one the chests that are floating around,
you will know what I mean when you get there.You will also need some rope arrows and patience.To get out just jump into the pool and swim up the stack,there is a switch along the way up,but I don't remember where.
Before going into the sewers break into the
Potion place and get some Breath potions.There is a balcony to the left that you can reach by shooting a rope arrow to the left of it onto a wooden beam.I hope this helps you out,sorry about the broken directions,don't remeber everything as well as when I am actually playing the mission.

When I played this I just dropped down onto the trap door, avoiding the spikes. I took some a fair amount of damage but survived.

Could any one give me a couple of spoilers for lampfire hills.
I'm playing at the medium setting (hard?) and have the dagger:
Firstly
[SPOILER]there is an underwater gate which I can't open, any clues as to where the key is?[/SPOILER]
Secondly:
[SPOILER]I have the key from the secret room in the hammer shrine, I've unlocked the lock at the cottage but the switch still won't move. Do I need to do something else? Is this a bug? Have I tried it in the wrong order?[/SPOILER]
Any help, as always, greatly appreciated.

Although this is my all time favorite mission I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific.
This underwater gate: can you describe what part of the mission it's in? Surroundings etc. are helpful.
Again, which switch won't move? I can tell you that the lock opens something inside your fireplace so you'll have to douse the fire and you'll see an opening to drop down in the chimney wall across from the ladder. Make sure before you drop down there though that you are absolutely prepared cause you have no idea how much is down there waiting for you.

Sorry:
[SPOILER]underwater gate. This is between the small hammer shapel with the secret room and the main chapel. In the tunnel between the two is a pool of water go straight ahead and you enter the crypt that leads you to the big chapel, swim underwater to the left and you're in a well, swim under water to the right (a fair distance) and there is a gate. [/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]At the back of the cottage there is a lock that the key from the secret room opens. Next to it is a lever which also lights up. That is the lever that won't open. From your post Spamlet perhaps it's not meant to open, perhaps I just open the lock and go in the chimney?[/SPOILER]
Hope that makes things a little clearer
Spamlet on 9/2/2002 at 09:43
That gate, if I remember correctly but I'm pretty dang sure, does not open at all. You've tried lockpicking it just to be sure, though?
Yeah check the chimney first because the switch itself may be a red herring (meaning that like the gate in your first question it has no real purpose). or maybe you flipped it right at the begining of the mission and it doesn't switch up/down more than once.
There's one more possibility: try to go from side to side to get the switch to frob and also to make sure the lock was completely opened (the metal bar handle part of it should be pointing down.

Thanks spamlet
Yes I tried lockpicks, so you're probably right about the gate.
Reloaded a previous save and went back to the switch, this time it opened. Dunno what happened (Imight have accidently flipped it as I unlocked without noticing) do'h.
Cheers for your help.

That gate unlocks with the "Psychic's Key", but it doesn't take you anywhere you can't get without it. :)
