Well, I managed to finish it. [SPOILER]The six broadheads I got from the two archers were all deathstage 12. I must have used all of them five times each. The last guard, from an unalerted state, took six arrows and six full blows with the sword to kill. My stats were: Damage Dealt 1511 for 20 killed, an average of 75.5 points each, which seems kind of excessive. I was glad the G-Man got away though, I wasn't looking forward to that.[/SPOILER]

Mission completed. Always nice to play a new FM, mind you certainly made killing the guards difficult! Thank God you put that ladder in the gallery! :cheeky:

im well aware of the broadhead bug[SPOILER]the razorheads are set to assain arrows, so if you snag the arrows from the two tower guards they will also become razorheads. this allows for easier killing towards the end. [/SPOILER]
did you all read the gameplay tips file? also, the guards are suped up because none other than garrett trained them all. garrett also told them to sleep with one eye open did he not?

A excellent level, it was about time someone made a level like this. This will sound like a boast but i've always being good with the sword and in all the FMs the guards are just a push over. Now this FM is good for sword duels and was a real challenge. I am not sure whether playing on different difficulties will increase the hits points of the guards, i played on nomal and managed to rank up 710 damage done and all of that using only my sword and my 3 healing potions, didn't use arrows or mines. :cheeky: [spoiler] I don't understand that note when i go to get the gold though, is the gold haunted?[/spoiler]

I can't argue with this, but I still think, as this is supposed to be a
hack 'n slash number, as well as the fact that Talon is hearing voices, he'd turn into a kind of berserker and the joy would be in playing someone who's gone insane and no one can stop him. As such, I don't know if I'll finish this one anytime soon. For all my arguing in the Thief 3 forum that the devs intended us to have freedom of play styles (including more violent ones), I prefer more to blackjack. If I can learn how to sufficiently soup up Garrett, I'll build a little hack 'n slash number myself (probably for my own enjoyment only), but these are just my thoughts on how this was implemented. I think we really have to imagine he's hearing voices and has gone berserk as it really doesn't show much ..deadman.

shadows, check out the cutlist document for an explanation of the gold. the note is almost a prophecy for garrett. see, the voice in talons head is just using talon. it will make more sense in the final fm.
the next two fms youre back as garrett, and in the end find out who that voice is. the next one starts the next morning from this one, at the gate of garretts house.

hehe, KILL KILL KILL!!! Now that's my kind of FM!:sly: I really enjoyed [SPOILER]murdering the guards asleep in their beds![/SPOILER] *giggle* they never saw me coming....:ebil:

Tough,tough,tough Mission !! :D It was quite challenging.
The only way I got through it was to [SPOILER]quicksave before attacking anyone armed[/SPOILER] , that way if it didn't work out well, then it could be done over. One bug, though ... the mission didn't end. I had completed all of the objectives except [SPOILER]kill Garrett[/SPOILER] . Yes, I got into his room, but then ... he got away:thumb:
Stats after suiciding on a couple of mines:
Damage dealt: 1051
Damage taken : 32
Healing : 25
Loot : 1576 out of 1676
