Speedy : First nudge : There's an opening in the wall under the water in the moat
Extra nudge if still stuck : You can then open the drawbridge and should find a rope arrow and then go back and look for a little opening in the stonework to shoot the rope back over the moat so you can go back, climb up, and walk over the drawbridge.

should be

I'm sorry Derfy, but I can't find the missing forward slash in your reply.

Since the forum supplies "..." for longer links, you can only see that "/" when you see how the link resolves. I can see it in Mozilla by holding my mouse over the link and looking at the text in the status bar.

Thank you very much, Sensut, for another very fine mission.:) I enjoyed the Dracula series immensely, and this looks like the start of something great, too. I hope you have planned several missions in the Elizabeth Bathory series as well. Elizabeth is a person I had never heard of before, so I am glad to have the opportunity for a history lesson in addition to the folklore that surrounds it. I liked the atmosphere, the textures, and the background music.

I particularly liked the music played by the Victrola in the Actress's room. You stated this to be "Ennio Morricone - Ecstasy Of Gold." True enough. But the original theme from the The Good, the Bad and the Ugly sounds nothing like this. So I went on a little hunt and found it was from the CD (http://www.amazon.com/Yo-Yo-Ma-Plays-Ennio-Morricone/dp/B0002YCVXI) Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone. I think I may buy that.:)

I completed the mission in Perfect Thief = ghost + 100% loot. It took me 5.5 hours to find all the loot.:eek:

:confused: Yes, in Firefox is a backslash there but in Internet Explorer working perfect. Use Internet Explorer until I can fix it.
Thanks Derfy.:thumb:

Ditto, and thanks for doing that - I was just about to look this up myself :thumb:

jiansonz: I had trouble with this as well. As I recall, go out the front door of the palace and the tower is roughly ahead to the left up above. You need to climb up somehow onto a walkway or drawbridge or something then walk along to the tower entrance. Sorry to be so vague. It's not a huge tower but it does have a pointy spire roof; I think there is another similar on the other side.

Thanks a lot! I had been climbing around in many areas, and this place was something I thought I had explored. Quite embarassing that I missed the thick wooden beam as well. :rolleyes:
