Can anyone help me find the secret (official secret) in building A?

Thanks

Can anyone please help me getting into Lord Evans' office?:confused:
The locked door opposite to Sir Williams' in the Main Office does not respond to any key (I have many, including a "copy of Lord Evan's"). The other one in the corner, next to the elevator first appeared to be pickable but as the handle turned - and remained - in the "open" position it rather locked itself hard and now refuses any attempt to open it.:(
Thanks in advance.

I hope not, but it may be a bug. There's some secrets in the room that lock the doors to enter the room when the secrets open and I wonder if they "went off" early.

I played through that section last night and this morning and I definitely seem to remember opening the door to Lord Evans' with lockpicks.

Thank you, prjames.
I went back to an early hard save, shortly after getting the equipment and the lockpicks, and tried again. Arriving to those doors the lockpicks failed again, exactly the same way.:mad:
Do either of those Evans secrets have an outside connection? I may have activated it from that side without remembering, if this is possible.

I appreciate your comment: csamba

P.S. - As for Building A: I can't remember if it was an "official" secret but there is a passage in one corner on the top floor, behind some crates.:idea:

csamba,

Sadly, the secrets going outside appear to be one-way exits that close behind you and have no way to enter from outside.

And no, the area behind the creates is not an official secret.

Found out!:thumb: My problem was indeed an activated secret - and yes, there is a way back to Lord Evans' from that top grill outside, a lamp post a bit lower right ahead on the rooftop reopens it

Unfortunately, the official Building A secret remains elusive here as well. It surey has something to do with the exit from the ice room which I could only enter from the lava transporter but never leave.

Did you also notice that after grabbing the Tiger Claw it still remains floating high above the talismans you had to exchange in the first place?:rolleyes: Maybe just a cheap copy to confuse the thieves....

Thanks again: csamba

The "official" way out of the ice room is: Look through the window at the chairs, pull out your bow and arrow, shoot the middle "3" with a standard arrow, and be teleported back to the beginning of that sequence. So, it's not the Building A secret either.

I have now finished with 11/11 secrets and complete loot - there is NO extra secret in Building A.:nono:
IMO the secret ladder down to the lava lake behind the mines - connecting to Building A - from the back downstairs office in Walker & Sons may have been counted twice, both as "Walker & Sons" and "Building A". On the other hand, the north pool secret switch in the talisman area was missing from the previous list.

Hope this is good news::cheeky: csamba

Yup, north pool switch was the missing secret.

(I neutralized the devices controlled by the north pool switch by shooting fire arrows at each one after having BJed everyone in the building.)

Thanks!

After getting the Claw, I went back to the three "lingering death" rooms: first the room with the keeper medallion, then the ice room with the jeweled dagger... and then the gas room (with the wedding room); but I couldn't get out of the gas room because I can't see the buttons from those windows. Is there another way out from that room, or is it just a tease?

Thanks,

Dafydd
