T2 FM - Better Off Dead - Mission 1 The Citadel (v.2 - 11/02/2012)

This mission is magnificent, I've been playing for the last couple of days and I keep finding new areas. This one's definitely going among my favourites :D

I'm stuck in a few places though.

How do I open Alhazred's tomb? I used the acid on the doorchains, but it still won't open. :confused:
How do I get to the other side of the assembly hall (the one opposite the clock, on top of the throne with the 2 chests)? I shot some rope arrows up there, but it's too high to reach.
And where can I find the key to the library?

No-one for the portal in the crypt? I haven't found the pagan compass anywhere...

After you have the master key from the temple (the priest's belt), you can take the Hammer key from the Library. Next then, in the other room (Pastorium), open the attic door+ladder with the big hammer on the fireplace, and there is the compass in the safe. Go to the crypt and put the compass to that dracon claw. But note that this claw (idol) will be frobable only after you found the Book of OO as well. The compass will open a portal there.

The tomb will open later. Also can be opened with acid but looks like something does not work properly. I'll fix it.

To the Golden Hammer in AH you can climb down from the attic, see the hole above the clock mechanism.

After restarted the clock find the master key in the Temple.

Thanks a lot Sensut, I found the gear and everything else unravelled after that...:thumb:

Ah, ha, so you can open it ahead of time. I tried it but all i got was a red glow, i was quite relieved, haha, i didn't want to release that evil out. :cheeky:

There is a Pagan Sling to find before the clock start and Alhazred coming out from there. There was a problem with the door which I fixed but created another bug :D . Fortunately I've removed the secret from that tomb and has nothing important to do with the gameplay. I'll fix in an update soon.

After I used the acid, I was able to retrieve the Pagan Sling by frobbing the still-closed door. No secret, but a fun, lethal weapon (on humans, at least -- it just annoys the dead).

A few minor issues:

You can't read the last of the scattered pages because the goal completed message comes up immediately.

On some of the poster scrolls, the word TEXT appears on the screen just before the game switches to the book art.

Just a question really: Why does Garrett say 'oops' when he uses the holy cloak for the first time?

Can't find the arrows in the crypt
