It is always something right in front of my eyes. A great mission. It kept getting bigger and bigger. Worth a replay. I only found 3 hammer symbols and 1 secret. The hand sized Gem.

Balboa, thanks very much for this excellent, extremely addictive mission! Loved the machine, the station quest, the diverse places to visit and the various puzzles. We've been spoilt this year with some great missions!

I may be the only one but I got frustrated by misinterpreting the plan and thinking I needed to break into the tomb before meeting up at the Great Tree Shrubbery place (wasted a lot of time) and not being able to operate the lift there :nono: (thanks to Tannar for help!) I managed to get into the Upton Trust and the Visionary's before doing the tomb but it all worked out fine. Will go back and replay (in the right sequence) for sure. I did so much running around I finished with the 16 stations plus the 3/3 secrets, 4 bonus objectives.

Thanks again to all involved!

4 bonus objectives

Aw what the taff, 4? And here I was all smug thinking I've found all 3 bonuses :cool: That'll teach me. Now I won't be able to sleep until I learn about that last bonus/secret, but I'm guessing it might be a bit too early to put them in a post, even in spoiler tags? Oh well

Yay! Found all 16 hammers, received the blessing! All that running around and pressing my nose into walls was totally worth it, the reward was wonderful!

All in all, 2 out of 3 secrets, 3 bonus objectives! Now where might be that last secret...

bloody hell, I only found 4...

Finishes the mission, I liked the ending, nice to see the bad get his just deserts.. well done balboa.

poronty - you beat me to the 16 stations ;). After I read your post I found my last one within about 5 minutes plus the last secret. For me the last secret and 4th objective happened at the same time .

Ok, I've got the mallet and now I need to find someone who can help me speak to the dead. . . I know there's a place somewhere in town, but it's in an area that's closed off by a gate. How do I get there? :(

Also, I have not found a single one of those damn hammerite marks. . .they're red marks, like the one on the novice's instruction scroll, right?

Lady Taffer: Now that you have the mallet, there's only one way to get back to the Bloated Burrick. Have another swim through the canal.

On your way back, you will pass by (or through, depending on your travels) Ursula's house. That's where you need to go to complete the "speak with the dead" objective.

As to the Hammerite stations, one of them is in the canal, at the far end where the fishing pole is, above the grate. They are hard to spot, so you need to keep your eyes peeled.

As for myself, after an extra 30 minutes in this mission I've found 1 new piece of loot, have 14 out of 16 Hammerite Stations and know what the last bonus objective is about Rutherford... but I have no clue as to where to find it.

I'm also wondering where the last 2 Hammerite Stations are. Previously in the thread someone mentioned that there are 6 by the canal... but I can only count 4. One on each side of the canal entrance, one by the unopenable gate, and at the far end of the canal by the fishing rod. Can anyone help?

Not sure if these are the ones you're missing but

- One is somewhere right across from the hammerite church, just above water level (only reachable from water)
- One is on the iron bridge near the dock, on one of the middle beam thingies
