EDIT:
As usual, posting here seems to be what I need to solve something on my own - I found the lever for the gate, right there where I'd left my head when it became unattached :laff:

ORIGINAL POST:
I'm utterly embarrased to admit that I've stuck on the first map, unable to do the following (playing on expert):

[SPOILER](1) I can't find a key to the gaol, (2) I can't find Lady McCloud's missing ring (although I found the coins, the attic, and the loose change), (3) Can't get into Lady McCloud's house - where on earth is the trademan's entrance? There's a gate to the left of the unfrobbable doors but I see no way to open them, and to the right is a fenced area that I can't access, (4) near the bank, I heard guards walking around and see small open windows above the arch that starts the tunnel opening out to the theater, but no way inside, (5) I roped over the metal roofed shack to find the sewer entrance - took care of the two burricks but can't open the sewer cover on the other side, the one with the air pressure gauge, and worst of all, (6) I can't find a way to open the gate that leads to the next map.[/SPOILER]

I think I've mined every nook and cranny, but I MUST be missing something utterly obvious as noone else has been or is stuck as I am. Feh.

[SPOILER]I found the two levers to open the portcullis' at Auldsdale market, have swam all over the canal, finding both ladders to the rooftop areas, and some hidden rooms, climbed the crates early on for the single room, found the note to Roberts, got the key from the Power Supply place from under the bucket and used it on the gate nearby, also got a key off of a guard and opened the gate that she stood before. I've knocked out every body I can, on general principals, save the pagans near the starting point and the folks in the pub.[/SPOILER]

I don't want answers to everything, just a hint to get me going again, if you please. I'm just running around in circles at this point, feeling like a dork :p

It's a gorgeous mission, by the way. I love the tall, tall buildings - I've been craning Garret's neck, looking everywhere I can for places to sink rope arrows and managed to get into one fenced balcony area by roping into the top left edge of the theater roof. :D

Thanks in advance for any hints!

Cheers!

Melissa - The ring may have fallen down the drain in front of the theatre

I don't think you can get into the house, but I could be wrong.

The next map - Ther's a lever on the wall at the bottom of the ramp by the Auldsdale/Market signpost

Hi,

I've searched, and haven't found a thread specific to this FM, so I'm thinking that either everyone has had no problems whatsoever completing this mission (which makes me an idiot), or I've run into a small bug.

First, I'm thoroughly enjoying this mission. I like the architecture which forces the player to find certain areas in unusual ways. Lots of loot to be found in small, hard-to-get-to places. My thumb is WAY UP in the air to madwolf. :thumb:

Second, my situation. I've completed the loot objective (at 7308 so far), and released Edwin, so I THINK the only objective I need to complete in order to finish is "Get the bank haul". I am now
[SPOILER]in the Old Gaol, and I think the bank haul is in the downstairs prison area behind a locked wooden door, but I can't find a key to open this door, and it is unbashable. [/SPOILER]

I've searched all unconscious bodies, and I only have one door/gate left unlocked throughout the city, which is the one to the Warren (haven't found a key to that one either).

A couple of unusual things that I've done that may have "broken" something:

[SPOILER]1. In the Old Gaol upstairs room (with the weapons), I found and grabbed a grey key floating in the air in the middle of the room.[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]2. In the Old Gaol prison (downstairs), in the prison cell closest to the wooden door (to the left), I saw a floating button near the ceiling, so (naturally) I jumped up and pressed it, afterwhich it immediately disappeared.[/SPOILER]

Can anyone please let me know if I've missed something, or done something wrong?

Many thanks! :)

Got it, nightwalker, Thank you! :)

...I had previously been in that house, and can't believe I missed that. I'm back on track now.

I think it wasn't showing up because there was no space in between the "FM" hyphen and "Moth" so it was being read as one word (New FM-Moth to a Flame). I've edited the title of the original thread so it hopefully will show up in future searches. :)
