I think I've made a huge mistake:
I got the objective for the
Plant, and rushed back to the other
fountain to fill my flask and saved with a flask full of special water. now how do I get out without
turning it to normal water?
Don't worry. You will find a way later on in the mission to complete the
plant objective. It does not break the mission if you
fill up and leave. Just carrying on doing other stuff for now.

I've gotten the first 2 scrolls, but problems continuing..
Can't do anything in the room with the 4 guard things, but die.
I can get the scroll in the large water room using a speed potion and 3 health potions, but I'm sure that's not the correct way
Unless I can fly, I can't do much in the 4 level open area with ladders
the maze just teleports me back
where can I go?

ok good *relieved*
as for the double gate:

Hint:
Maybe you could block one of the gates with something? Search for something that serves you.Bigger hint:
What you are looking for is outside of the Den.
I'm afraid I need a bigger clue. I went through the whole
house again and didn't see anything helpful.
there is an unfrobbable door in the tower with ladders, and a gold panel at the very top level that I can't open either. I'm sure there are more places I haven't even discovered, but those seem like the next few steps.

have you gone to the top of the tower with the ramps?
look up

If i think you are where you are, in the 4 levels area, try to open the gate to get to the other 4 levels area.
Hint: Look up!

Well apart from the house, where else haven't you searched? It's not in the house, like you said, it's outside of the Den, so that leaves...

Haplo, since you asked so nicely ....
That was thoroughly enjoyable. I found some of the puzzles particularly clever. And the new toy reminds me pleasantly of Unreal Tournament's translocator.
I'll be fondly recalling several of the more memorable moments from this mission for years to come, particularly the seconds following the big climax, when that gate to the Guardians' antechamber slowly opened. I foolishly took a peek to see if they were still frozen in place. They were not, of course, and immediately came charging in. This led to a classic Benny Hill-style chase sequence (lacking only the Yakety Sax theme) throughout the lair, which I'm sure you'd all find hilarious. Still on the run, with the Guardians hot on my heels, I grabbed the Blade in passing and only escaped their wrath by diving into the pool outside.
I'm short four secrets and approximately 6000 in loot, and have no idea what devious thing to do with Brother Ghazanfar, but have otherwise completed all goals.

Hi all, need a little help. Apparently I am supposed to put salt in water somewhere in order to deactivate security field but I have not been able to find any salt. The kitchen seems an obvious place but I have not found anything. Thanks!

On the normal difficulty setting (lowest) it was on a shelf in between sugar and flour - I think it was the smallest metal container. I don't know if if it changes location on difficulty.

That is not what I had intended. You guys are good at finding alternative ways!
My ass-backwards way in which I solved that puzzle:
I used the crate (which I'm now assuming I should have used to block the gate) to crawl through the small hole in the wall near the lever on the higher floor, then used the trick where you drop a body you're carrying at the last second to get to the ground unharmed (...after about 15 failed attempts at this. I'm not quite l33t enough for this trick yet. :erg:)

the basement and didn't pay attention.
okay: I completed the labyrinth, and have
Hans' key. however, when I go to
his bedroom and use it on the lock behind the dresser, it doesn't work! is there somewhere else I should use it?

Salt is in a canister on kitchen shelf
I'm stuck. Done the salt, sponge, mead. Can't open big double doors at top of stairs or door down the front of house balcony.
