Thanks, Vigil and nickie.........I should have known this would come back to bite me in the you-know-what........(I wasn't sure if that was a clue, Vigil....or a come on......:cheeky: )
Thanks, slyfoxx for the assistance......I figured that I need to be in the crypt to get any further.......the problem is; I'm back out and the door's slammed shut.......guess there's no way back in and i'm stuck restarting....:rolleyes: too bad; i had everyone KO'd, too.....
SlyFoxx on 7/3/2008 at 03:55
Aww you'll be back in the crypt in no time....wack 'em all again...Itt'll be FUN!:D
Beeba on 7/3/2008 at 15:26
Thanks again Slyfoxx....it's done and i'm into the sewers and hearing those crazy monkey things.....hmmmmm........maybe I should have stayed where I was....:eek:
thanks again all........i'm sure i'll need more help in the future.....It's great to know that this is a good place to head when i'm stuck :thumb:
and do you all really ghost your missions?? I've never tried it; I've always been one to get all the loot; so I've always found it necessary to bash heads to get that job done.......then I can run around freely and take everything that's not nailed down...

Having played Lord Edmund Entertains recently, I just finished it's sequel 'The Vigil'. Took me 1 hour 17 minutes on Diabolical difficulty. Just as earlier posters, I'm also short of 150 loot of the total amount of 1525 even though I've thoroughly explored the map. Is it in some hard to find area that everyone overlooks or is it unobtainable :confused: Guess the 'Trickster's Loot Locator' would be useful here.
Anyway, I thought it's a pretty good mission. It contains some nice variation of settings - with tombs, sewers, hammerite compound and city streets - a couple of clever puzzles/riddles to solve and a few scripted events that are pretty cool :thumb: (like the gate that seals Ducal's Tomb, even though it's a coincidence it happens right when Garrett comes to visit ;)). The only problem I had, and which justifies the term 'Diabolic' for the highest diff. imo, was to solve the original "Riddle of the Three", forcing me to peek for spoilers. Congrats to those who solved it without help. The mission is mostly ghostable; some actions undoubtly alert a sentry or two nearby. It didn't managed to keep me immersed all the way though, like LEE did; the areas beyond Ducal's Tomb felt a bit empty, as if they're meant just for scenery, and could've been made smaller. Still, the level is well build with some nice design elements. And for it's age it's nothing to be ashamed of. Well done, Banshee!
The connection with the prequel is not entirely satisfactory, with the only objective to find more information about the Idol in Duke Creygan's journal (who got murdered by the evil Lord Edmund in part 1). Afterwards, it's all done in the game; no further investigation, no dealings with the Idol. The Journal however, is an interesting read and provides some useful clues.
[SPOILER]We can read that the band of three, the main characters in LEE, travelled to the Dark Isles man years ago, where they apparently found the Idol that would bring them so much misery later on. It seems the Idol originates from the 'cults of the dark gods', which once resided in the city. The Duke writes that he's quite convinced that the place he seeks "once stood north of Craven Road, between the Guild of Shoemakers and the abbey of St. Dymphna, on the site where the Grayfalk Museum now stands." It also reveals that none except Duke Creygan realised the danger of the artifact at the time and that "Eddie" was likely the most susceptible of the three to be posessed by it.[/SPOILER]
I wonder if Banshee was inspired by the game Baldur's Gate, which holds a similar quest about an Idol?
Anyway, the above revelations in the Journal seem to suggest that at least one more mission was planned, in which Garrett had to find the long lost entrance to a temple of some sort in the city, where he could get rid of the Idol by either distroying it or return it to the place where it can do no harm. It's a pity this was never realised.
BANSHEE, where are you!!?? Damned, it would've liked to play the conclusion :p

I've played through twice now, and the angel for the Sword of the Champion is simply not there. Maybe broken version? Maybe it's not running properly with DarkLoader 4.3? Maybe there was some patch/upgrade I did that messes it up? (at one point I think I added some crouchjump mod or something or other, maybe even some other core files have been changed out... I can't remember but am willing to look if this might solve the issue)
