Oh, one more thing: Is there something in the mission that fits the Hammer lock in the small cave with the elevator?

Yes, there is. You would have seen it without twigging it. I take it you would you like to know, would you? Well, it goes against the grain for me to reveal its location. (Perhaps *cough* you can get it from that. ;))

I'd love to play this FM, but it crashes when I try to play. I'm running Windows 7, and I've installed the FM with GarrettLoader. I can launch Thief 2, choose a difficulty level, and start loading the mission. The dials on the "Loading..." screen spin briefly, but then the whole application locks up on that screen. If I wait about 30–45 seconds, the application quits to desktop, and it leaves a crash.dmp file in my Thief game folder. Other FMs work fine. I have NewDark installed.

Is this a known issue? Any suggestions?

It could be using GarrettLoader instead of fm-select,the later being designed for NewDark fms. Why it would unpack other fms and not this one, I don't know. If the author has some special files that need fm-select, then this could be the reason GarrettLoader isn't working for this fm.

That's right. When it comes to Heartcliff Islands, GarrettLoader=:confused:, FMSel=:)

Also, please ensure that FMSel reports "Thief 2 Final 1.23 -- [FMSel 1.1.2]" before liftoff.

I get a bonus "The Foreseer was neutralized". Red and white witches killed each other. What should I do next? Absolutely no tips. :tsktsk:

Which non-optional objectives are you missing?

All non-optional objectives is finished - I can take a boat and sail away. I want to read a spell in the ritual's hall, but I can not. The spell does not open, although there are 5 red smoke. What to do with "Empty Foreseer"?

As you have the empty Foreseer, and since you can't drop it, there's not much left to do apart from leave the island. The ritual of destruction will work with the correct 5 items, but you will not be able to destroy anything with it once it is completed.

This hasn't helped...yet. I will keep looking.

Some more questions:

- Lighthouse guy writes that he has bought a ring for Esther, and has hidden it where "nobody will find it". Well, he's right so far when it comes to me. :(
Been searching the lighthouse high and low. Any hints?

- Is there any way to save Gwen from her comatose state?

- On the second island, in the building with the basement with the teleporter to the cave: half a floor down from the back door, there is an unfrobbable wooden door next to the wood-driven heater. My spatial awareness isn't always great, but I am pretty sure I haven't been in the area that would be behind this door (if it even exists, the area could be solid wall for all I know). Is this area accessible?

AFAIK, there are two loot rings in the game, and they're both in the sewer.

Yes there is, but not directly.

I don't think so.
