I can't find a rope arrow in the museum. I've opened a grate in the room with the painting. I've found a scroll and a vial of holy water Maestro difficulty.

I don't know how things are set on Maestro, but (as you may know) if you see a piece of rope you can combine it with a broadhead arrow. I think I found 2 on the easiest difficulty but I can't remember where. :tsktsk:

i did second setting and there was no rope arrow there = its only on easiest setting you get it on version 1.2

only bad part is on second and third setting you are forced to back track to sewer once you get first rope arrow then to get second on in sewer then go back even further to get loot from areas you must use rope arrow, there should be at least 1 rope arrow at the lady of the greens place for last 2 settings, then no one has to backtrack for loot

also the kitchen hidden area is gone in 1.2

i feel for my style i like version 1 on hardest setting, it played the best for my style

Yes, in 1.2 that rope is only there on Hard, the easiest difficulty.

I rather people coming into this FM do not play 1.0. That's why I've stopped linked them here. It has several bugs, and the overall presentation was changed a bit on small but key areas to tutoralize them a bit more.

v1.2 is really better, but the missing secret feedback should be fixed because its absence is confusing. I don't know how much work it would take.
Also, ditching the fiery sword was perhaps a hasty decision, it was a rare toy and a lot of fun.

fiery sword? i never even pulled the sword out

I've just finished this beautiful mission.
3/4 secrets
3.5 h
4466 gold
maestro difficulty

Initially the mission seemed to be very small. But there was unexpected turn of events and the mission turned out to be enormous.

I very like this mission.
Congrats on your work.

Actually, it was adding it that was the hasty decision. I added it last minute before release to justify why striking wood with your sword would somehow spawn burnt out splinters, ash and sparks. But then everyone loved it so much they never used torch arrows. The new sword was basically just a reskin to justify that behaviour, AND it was replacing what the torch arrows are supposed to be (a dual offensive / exploration tool). It just did an incredibly small ammount of fire damage so that zombies explode when you hit them, but otherwise, the bashing behaviour of breaking wooden objects is there on the original game, it's nothing special. So if someone helps me fix that issue (about which object to spawn depending on damage type) through a custom squirrel script, hopefully bashing comes back for the next FM.

I finished a playthrough of v1.2 on hard (normal) and found 5/5 secrets, but I don't think I found any more than I had previously so maybe there was an issue with things being tagged as secret in the first 1/1.1 versions and we were searching for things that had already been found :rolleyes:
It was still fun, I'm really looking forward to what gets cooked up for the next in the series!
