I don't recall having seen such a chamber.....

Near the stairs to the temple (check your map!) you have the small room with the crate and the ladder. Go there and you will not miss the chamber with the jaguars...

Ohh, this is so embarrassing. . . .

I'm stuck right at the beginning and I can't figure out for the life of me how the hell all of you managed to even get into the crypt in the first place! :sweat:
What are you supposed to do?? There doesn't seem to be any other way in except the front door and that's locked and unpickable, and there doesn't seem to be any key for it, so how the hell do I get in there??

Have a look in one of the windows. It took me a while to find too.

It seems to me that in this mission I cannot find the obvious......
Mixthoor, I really cannot find this chamber with jaguars!!!:grr:

First you need the Ancient key from the crematory office (is in a box on the bookcase). From the crematory take to the Temple through the big hall and there is a grate with a sun symbol beside the stairs to the temple. Open the grate with master key and climb down, there is the entrance to the Ancient tombs. Inside find the lever on the altar which opens a secret door on the altar and continue to T'hon's chamber.

I had been in the ancient tombs a billion times.................:D
Thank you Sensut! :thumb:

I need a hint: I have about 1600 of loot and want to find more. The mission is done, but i wanna find the secrets and loot. The Temple, has a church tower, can one get up there? I have fired rope arrows up to the top inside the tower, where the bell has fallen on some poor fellow, but the rope arrows aren't long enough. Can't see a way on the outside of the building either.

This mission is, simply put, awesome. The monochrome colours give it an eerie setting, the level design and architecture is top notch, it has plenty of loot and secrets to find, exploration is very rewarding and... well, it's just awesome overall. One of the best FMs of 2012.

I got 12/15 secrets, found 40 radiant gems, found all the scroll types and just over 5100 in loot. After having checked the secrets list, I now have 5470 in loot, and no idea how to find the remaining 94.

Anyone have a number on how many radiant gems there are in this FM?

Finished the mission with a HUGE help here.
I want to thank Sensut, although I'm not a fan of undead & co., I really enjoyed this mission so much.
The black and white added to the atmosphere, loved the spell scrolls, the demons and dancing ghosts were a blast.

Thank you so much for giving me 5 hours of real enjoyment!!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

This one had me stumped for a while as well,

Hint: check carefully King's Cross area, which is the underground area, you access from the other gate opposite this locked gate.

Answer: As you enter the King's Cross area, check the dark hidden narrow passageway on the right, there's a ladder there

Thanks shadows !
Another 'how on earth did I miss that' moment. :o

Finished now except for loot - got all secrets, but only 5232 and 38 gems. I shall hunt some more. Great mission !!
Killing some enemies gives you gems. Does that mean if I've Holy Smoked a couple of skellies rather than destroyed them I miss out on my totals?
