I got han´s key safe, but where can i find his safe? and how do i get out of the 4 minions area? i can get to the ladder that is above the lava pool. :p

Sorry cardia1 bit I think you will have to go back to an earlier save as you need to have gone to Hans' room back in the mansion and used his safe key there to get beyond the 2nd gate :( . Unlless, that is, you can use the ladder above the lava to get back - but I think that's impossible!

Possible.

Have you checked which pedestal you need to get to? If so go there first and leave your gizmo there - that way you can always beat that Warlock :sly:

This doesn't help me! :(

I have to use the teleporter to get up to the platform with the book to summon the warlock, so how can I leave it on the eastern platform first?

You don't need the teleporter to climb up to the book.
Leave the receiver on the right pillar and jump up on the left side of the pillar where the book is.
When you read the book, use the teleporter then and watch :ebil:

I've tried jumping up to the book, but the pedistal is too high. I'll try again, though.

EDIT: Ah-ha! It's one of those deceptive pilars that makes you think it's too high to mantle up on! Anyway, I was finally able to finish the mission (and get into the locked spare room!) Great job, Haplo! I loved how the lair was designed and I particularly loved the ambient music in the main pool room and the ramp room. :D

@Pedro: You don't need to go back to an earlier save, it is possible to grab the ladder over the lava. Go to the corner of the hole, crouch and slowly walk forward until you fall. If you do it correctly you will grab the ladder. It is quite easy actually.

@Lady Taffer: Glad you enjoyed it. Actually the ability to mantle over the pillars was an oversight by me...My intended design was making the players try to throw the teleporter up the eastern pillar with the bad dude on their heels. I thought I had made the pillars high enough. Oh well, too late now.

Hi Haplo,
thank you very much for this challanging mission. It keeps me very busy.
Would you mind to send me a copy of that walkthrough please?
Thank you in advance
Cheers, Urumo.

Okay, replaced the zip with a newer version from ThiefMissions. Works fine, no glitches.

Once the "special" haunts are paralyzed by the EOF potion, you can wail away on them until they shatter (window smashing sound + puff of smoke).

The teleporter allows you to bypass lava surfaces and survive underneath by holding your breath. You can escape without harm as well. Not terribly useful, but still amusing.

Done! Fine work, Haplo! Glad I stuck with it.

Azaran, there is a readable regarding the power to the security system down in the basement in the room opposite the turret control room. The solution involves finding some salt mentioned earlier in the thread.

Awesome, took care of that. Thanks :thumb:

What I don't understand is the fact that it seems you are in the Den, without having entered the master bedroom. How? How did you get into the shed?

I have a terrible confession to make:erg:. A few FM's back, I was having hard time finding keys for locks, and was tired of going around in circles...so I... put a lockcheat in one of the cfg files:(. I forgot it was still there.
I was weak and impatient:nono:....but I deleted that now. I'm playing fair and square from now on
