please show exactly where to shoot the arrow to get to the zombie house.. Im losin my nerves like missbetty! i found a wooden beam at the end of the house but when i shoot the arrow in it the arrow is too short to climb on!:tsktsk:

The wooden beam you're referring to most likely is the one portruding from the wall, above the highest window. However, another beam which is build into the wall, located between the highest window and the one below it, will also accept a rope arrow - if you can shoot with very high accuracy. Better save before trying.

Hi there!
I positioned myself right on that side of the house when the dog was barking and shot a rope arrow at the beam just above one of the windows. It stuck and the rope was long enough to get to the window (wooden window, if I remember well). Then I opened it and got inside. Also you should try another window on another side of the house. There are altogether two windows through which you can slip into that house into two different rooms.

Good luck!

Need a bit of help, not sure what to do now.

I seem to have been everywhere except the forest - magic barrier blocking the way.

I have Theoren's notes, but after reading this thread, I find I have no jar or 'disk'. I am around 700 loot short.

Where do I go now and what do I do?

Jar In the kitchen at the tavern.

Magic barrier will disappear after you have read thief's diary. Find it in the attic. The key in the same place you found Thereon's diary.

Thanks Soul Tear, forgot about that key!

How did any of you start? I can't even get past the first point, with the bridge and the guards, except I can make a side-trip to some loot downriver (also apparently a dead end; with struggle, I was able to get back up top, but still in the first area). 30 minutes passed, and I'm nowhere. I even tried blackjacking the three guards in front, but still couldn't find any way in: trees, banners, none of my rope arrows work on them.

What am I doing wrong? Nobody else seems to have had the slightest difficulty getting started.

I vaguely got the first entrance but only saw the 2nd in FenPhoenix's LP although I had read about it in this thread. There are 2 ways in. Rope arrow to the bit of wood (apparently, though I stuck my arrow in the earth above) in the sewer exit or climb the gate, frob the chains and, with difficulty, jump on a banner.

Believe me, some had. Only they read this thread and asked questions. This mission is demanding and it won't get easier :ebil:
Good luck!

Finished it after 2 weeks of 1-3 hours of playing in the evenings.

I wouldn't say the mission it not intuitive. Yes, there were 4 places where I was stuck but 3 of them happened because of my inattention.
To be more precise:
1) I didn't guess how to get to the town; I suspected sewers but thought it is not a piece of wood floating but a kind of metal can (because of silver color).
2) I didn't guess how to break into western part of town - mainly because I searched for clue (which appeared to be at the police station) for about 1.5 hrs.
3) I didn't notice a wooden beam near Thereon's window. Also it was quite difficult for me to find his notes and attic key.
4) I didn't find a way into the shack (for forest key).
I played on easiest difficulty but feel like I've completed in on Expert with attempt to collect 100% of loot and secrets. If there were more clues of what to do on the easiest difficulty, everything (in my opinion) would be ideal. In other terms, this mission is stunning - beautiful, atmospheric, and I would like to know what happens tomorrow when Garrett wakes up!

I'm trying to find all loot in this level. I'm still in the first area of the city and got 2284 out of 2234 loot available so far. That means I'm 50 credits short. According to the loot list there is a silver nugget worth 50, behind some grate. I'm pretty sure, that this nugget is the loot I'm still missing.

Can somebody give me the clue where this grate may be? Is this the grate in the outer wall of lady Adaline's house opposite the balcony she walks out? If it is, how do I get there? The roof leading to that great is not that steep, but is damn slippery. I wasn't able to move any closer to that wall, not by running, nor running + jumping forward, nor by mantling. Yes, I've enabled new_mantle for this mission. Even the moss from moss arrows doesn't seem to latch onto roof's surface, but instead slides to the street below.

I'm currently standing at the top of the roof of the adjoining house. Behind me is the small window, through wfich you can get into the attic to grab the canopic jar, and can clearly see the lady Adaline's house in front of me and the said outer wall with grate on it.

Any hints on techniques how to get there will be appreciated. Or if I'm wrong, where to look after that grate?
