Merry Christmas Yandros! this mission sets the mood great! managed to do all bits but find that one last cookie. :D
Is the one missing the one
behind a tree outside?
That one gave me the most trouble ;-)

Yes it was, the one behind a tree got me, got too used to first search in the most unlikely spots, it was so obvious and in plain sight that I probably walked past without noticing it for some reason.
Even finding one of the gems inside a cabbage I did without looking for external help, as I thought maybe I needed to fix the food up somehow. :D

The knife is what gives me the hardest time. I can never remember which exact door frame outside it is in.

I get a message from the one location with the version 3 that the archive is corrupted, somewhere else to download this?
Yandros on 5/1/2020 at 19:59
Which one said that, DarkFate or SouthQuarter? Have you tried the other one?
Edit:
The file on SQ appears to be corrupted. The DarkFate link doesn't work any more, but it lists several links for the mission if you navigate to it. I downloaded the ZIP from Taffers Paradise and it tests as good in 7ZIP.

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone, and don't forget to play Yandros' A Thief's Holiday! :D

Fun little holiday mission.. .except for all the growling and gnashing of teeth, it was a blast!! :-O
Had to finally break down and look back at some hints with the last handful of goals on Hard, and then a BUNCH on Expert!!
this will be good to play in another year when I've forgotten where most of the stuff is! Thanks, Yandros.

Have you played the original version? It has something the newer version doesn't.

I will have to check the version/date tomorrow. Not sure where I downloaded it from, but it did say 2004 in the title..

There is another more challenging way of getting on the roof, if you can't use a rope arrow:
See the tree that is really close to the front porch? Well, you can mantle onto the railing, and then jump over on to the top of the tree. Then, you move very carefully as close as you can to the edge of the roof without falling off the tree and then hold down your jump button to mantle on to the roof.I found another, more reliable way for getting
on the roof. Go around to the opposite side of the house from where you're talking about the railing & the tree, and go to the outside of the fireplace (that you have to light inside as one of the goals. Jump up and grab the ledge that runs around the outside wall of the fireplace on the right-hand side while looking at the house.. Once you mantle up there, the roof's edge is right there in your face, and it's really easy to position yourself and mantle up onto it.
