Yes, this is the improved campaign and replaces all of the earlier sequels. I, personally banned the earlier missions, you can do it as well leaving just the Reloaded version in the archive.
Edit: the earlier versions are not compatible with the "modern" DDFX patched Thief :erg: , that's the problem with it.
Thanks. :thumb:

I'm having trouble in Mission 1 a couple of thing:
1. I couldn't find the person I was suposed to meet, so the first objective didn't tick off. I know, from reading posts here, that I must have missed a note, but I searched the area (even started the level again) but never found anything.
2. In the underground lair, I have Mina, but now the big gate has closed, I no longer have the means to get through it, and I presume I have to leave via the door with the Air Talisman key. But I can't find that key. Again, I've searched and searched, but can;t find it. Where is it? Also, I had originally thought I went out at the far end of the level, where all the haunts were, but the door and the receptacle for the lever are not frobbabble, and anyway, I killed all of the haunts, including the bats, and searched the area for a second lever (having used the first for the big gate leading to Mina) but couldn't find one. How do I get out? I've been through this level twice and can't finish it.
...Never mind, found the key I needed and finished the mission, a few bits of loot short, but there's always next time.
Love this series, by the way. Really wonderful.

Now I have a question about Mission 2, and I'm REALLY stuck this time.
I need to know how to get past the waterwheel. I read the hint earlier in this thread, but it wasn't specific enough and so it didn't help. I know I must have missed something, but I can't go back up because the haunt on the pathway is now blocking the path up, and I can't get past. Is what I need down at the bottom of the canyon, or will I have to replay? I can't imagine what I've missed since I've been really thorough in this mission, but I really want to play this and I can't go on.
Not sure what happened to my earlier post on this same subject, so myapologies if this is a repeat.
Some time later.....and getting very frustrated. Not moving right along, I went to an earlier save where the haunt wasn't blocking the path, went back up to the top and looked around. Trying to follow the hint in an earlier post in this thread, I looked at the notes. The only note I can find that's anywhere near a ledge and a vine is the one at the archery target up at the top of the crypt. But the vine there is not climbable, and I can't get up on top of the ledge by any other means. I hear the mantling noise, but he doesn't actually go up on the ledge (this is about 50 times tried), not on the lower ledge, and certainly not on the higher ledge. There are no boxes anywhere to be had, and no wood to place an arrow in.
Can someone please help with specific instructions?

Use the crowbar on the metal door beside the waterwheel above, on the beam, to enter the mill. Inside go up to the attic on the mill mechanism and jump down to the machine room in the vent hole to disable the lights around. Don't forget the alchemist's body.Quote Posted by Fraser

I'm not sure where are you, so where is this place?

I am still new on this forum, so I only noticed this FM now. Can you tell me how many Dracula FM's you made and in which order they should be played? I see a lot of them, also something about Elizabeth Bathory. I would like to have a complete list. :cheeky:

If you check out the first post in this thread, you can download the whole Dracula campaign from there. Then you get all of the missions, and the order you play them should be extremely obvious.
Here they are, anyway:
Prologue
1 - The Love Thief
2 - The Return (of Darkness and Evil)
3 - The Beginning (Traitors of Poenari)
4 - The Darkthrone
5 - The Final Chapter
Epilogue
The Bathory campaign has three missions so far:
(it´s a work in progress, so you need to download the individual missions)
Elizabeth Bathory chapter 1
Elizabeth Bathory chapter 2 - Blood on Ice
Elizabeth Bathory chapter 3 - On All Souls Day

And 'Dracula Reloaded' is just all Dracula missions in one pack?

Yes, all missions in one pack, but improved. I do not know already how many times I said this here. Download it, play it and you'll see what is it. :p

Sorry if I somehow overlooked a solution to this somewhere, but where is the souvenir in mission 4? Also, I'm already at the point where I just shot the big heart in the shrine and all that remains is to return to the inn, but I'm still more than a thousand short of the loot requirement (5000)... is there some motherlode I might have overlooked? Thanks
