I plan to turn back the mission to color and re-release as a bonus version, but I do not know when. In any case as soon as possible.

Am I missing something? Or are we ghosters slapped with an automatic (and planned!) bust after picking up the Sun God's book?

[spoiler]I grabbed the book. I managed to avoid being seen by the zombie right outside the book chamber; I waited until he settled down, then snuck past him without being noticed. But then I turned the corner and discovered that another zombie had appeared in the main chamber outside the corridor (the chamber with the elevator): This guy stands in bright light staring directly at the doorway from which I must emerge. Even stepping far enough to see the zombie without leaning casts me in sufficient light for him to have a second-stage alert, a "hunting alert." So far as I can tell, he doesn't patrol, doesn't even turn; just stares fixedly at my doorway, waiting for me.

I can get around him in several ways -- run past him, potentially even luring him into falling into the elevator hole; killing him with a spell or somesuch; or using an invisibility potion. But each of these work-arounds is likewise a ghost bust.[/spoiler]

Is there another way out, or am I just stuck with a forced bust?

(I did use an invisibility potion earlier, but I think I might be able to get past that earlier point -- the invisible skeleton -- without doing so. I'll go back to an older save and try to get past. But this new bust seems unavoidable!)

Thanks,

Dafydd

Sensut, one zombie appears just outside the Sun God's book room; I can avoid him. The other zombie appears in the elevator room and stares fixedly at that doorway; he's the problem.

(I might be able to avoid him too, if he stalks around a bit before settling down: If I could get past the other zombie quickly enough, then maybe the elevator-room zombie will turn away long enough for me to slither past him, if I'm quick. Don't know how feasible that is.)

Another zombie, this one dressed like a mummy, wanders in periodically up the ramp from below; he's no problem to ghost.

Edit: Nope; the second zombie drops into the elevator room unalerted. Therefore he doesn't hunt or look around, and there's no way to get past him without busting the ghost. (If you want an easy fix, just set the elevator-room zombie to periodically turn and look another direction... north instead of west, for example (he can be glancing occasionally at the big Sun God symbol on the north wall). That would give a ghoster time enough to dart around south and get behind the elevator-room zombie, thence to escape without being detected.

Cheers,
Dafydd

Wow, what a great mission. Finished it on expert in 2 hours and half without taking any damage, and loved every minute of it. Another mission from my absolute favorite DromEd architect. I'm going to replay Dracula, now that I remember how much fun it was.

By the way Sensut, did you ever play Unholy Vivid Innocence?
