If the guardians are immortal, do they just have a *very* high health count? Similar to Aunt Makiko? If so I'm willing to spend 5 hours hacking them...they kinda scare the crud outta me...and the gloomy atmosphere isn't exactly the place I was a deformed, faceless ...thing to pop up in front of me without warning :eek:
EDIT: can someone tell me the fastest way to
get the death shadow...the midway jumping platform event and the guardian that pops out outta nowhere after checking a cage freaked me too much to go onThe guardians are immortal, by that I mean they can't be killed. They have a normal health count, but no matter how many damage you give them, they will always wake back up. Better to avoid them or make them sleep for a long time by giving them high damages very quickly (happens randomly though).
Who is that Aunt Makiko you're talking about ?
And you'll have to face your fear if you want to go any further, it's the only way. Garrett goes deep in the Dark zone to get the Dead Shadow, and it's not supposed to be an easy task. :ebil:
Kin, in Kimal's quarters there are instructions about how to open it. Look for a papyrus near his bed.

The way to get rid of that Guardian in the Dark Zone isget on the thin rail and get his attention by jumping. Before long, he will fall in that deep hole.
However, after you get the code and open the gate, you sould be able to avoid the guardians in the maze with the 3 switches. But, after you pull the switches and get thru the next gate, you better run as fast as you can to the opening and jump thru.

So, just what the hell is the dimension the Keepers in ANIR occupy, anyway? How big is it? How did the Keepers come to occupy it? Is it in the same reality as the city of Rocksbourg itself? What the hell are the inhabitants (i.e., the Guardians) of the place? Where do they come from? Agh! So many questions :)
In my opinion, a great story distinguishes itself from a good story when you're still left with a bunch of unanswered questions to ponder. Incredible work, DrK.

I have finished this GREAT MISSION Thanx DRK for a great 4 hours and thirty plus minutes of FUN. I must say that getting to the place to drop the book of names off and then getting back to Vlain was nerve racking but fun!!:ebil: The mission ended fine for me.:thumb:

I enjoyed the first two very much but didn't see this 3rd segment until now. One thing holds me off..I want to get the full version but my old computer is on dial-up so I have to wait still for my main machine yet. Life has been throwing eggshells at me for one reason or another and has interferred with getting it back. :( However, when I do, I'll have DrK's FM and some others to look forward to! :) Thanks DrK for getting it released and putting your hard work out for our pleasure to play. :)

Hi everyone.
I just started playing "ANIR - Ink and Dust", and let me tell you those graphics are a masterpiece. I've never seen graphics and visual effects this good in Thief 2.
Trust me, you NEED to play this mission.

Whew. This was the longest single FM I've ever played. After 6 hours and 40 minutes, I am done.
I play very methodically and explore everywhere.
5336 loot found, and 6 secrets. I also found 13 paintings. Despite being very thorough, I still didn't get everything. I'll try to get more in a 2nd replay but I am spent! (In a good way)
Thank you Dr. K, the other contributors, and your testers for a truly memorable experience.
(P.S. - Interpretor Thales' voice actor was very impressive. Hell, everybody did fine and the audio sounded very crisp and clean)

I read the instructions but it seems i none of keys i have work.
I opened the first door with the lever but no key matches. I tried thesal's key and the darkness key.Quincy Jones Wannabe on 16/5/2008 at 05:57

Are you trying to enter the Dark Zone? If so, you need three keys. You have two of them already. The third key can be found on Kimal's belt; he is the Keeper standing before the Gargoyle-esque Guardian blockading the door to Thesal's quarters.
