The symbols were a bit hard to see, even zoomed in, but you can rope arrow up to them. Problem is, the wooden lintels don't look wooden and the rope arrows only seem to stick if you aim just above them.The
lintels aren't wooden, the
strip of wood above them is. That might explain your difficulty...

I loved the polished tomb walls/floor. Is that a NewDark feature?
I certainly don't remember seeing anything like that before NewDark!

3. That puzzle was evil, but at the same time it made complete sense. I cheated after feeling hopelessly stumped, and then felt really dumb for missing all of the obvious hints. This probably would have been extremely satisfying to solve on my own. My advice is to HONESTLY TRY to do it yourself, and unlike me, actually think about the given clues instead of frobbing everything in sight like a jackass.
This part won't do people much good if you put it in spoiler tags. :D
I had to rely on some of Skacky's hints to figure out the puzzle, but once I got it it made complete sense.
I like this mission. :cheeky:

...You have a point. I don't know why I used them to hide talking points 1-3 anyway (to hide the fact there was dirt and darkness in this mission, I guess?). Anyway, fixed.
While I'm commenting again, was it just me, or was anyone else REALLY reminded of an older Dark Mod mission while playing this that had a similar storyline. A hole had opened up in the middle of the city, and you had to go spelunking into it and rob some haunted ruins. Forgot the title...is there any connection? When I saw the first screenshot I honestly thought it was a remake of that mission in T2 (just to be clear, this one is a lot different as far as design goes, so I'm not accusing this FM of being a rip-off. It's just curious is all).

Hou did you'll got down? I'm at the platform where I find the first two nuggets and don't know how to get down from here. I already died more than 20 times, trying.

Look up. There is a wooden beam, where you can use a rope arrow.

Are you playing on Normal?
If yes:
there is a book that says that the fish knows the answer.
Or if you prefer: he can literally SEE it.
And fishes can not look very far - just as far as their litlle 'aquarium' spans. ;)
If you are playing on something else, then the answer is the same, but not indended for your eyes. :cheeky:

Thank you very much for the help. :angel:
I'm at the tomb now. I just could frob a duck that made a sound. Nothing more. The diary you describe is a scroll for me (about the fish). I don't know what animals to pick, since they aren't mentioned in the scroll.
???

Did you see
a crushed body in a large pipe on the way down? There was
another diary next to him that would help you with the rest of the puzzle.

what order do i hit symbols?
If you've already read
Drackin's diary and Qoja's note, you should have all the details. See skacky's hints on the first page of this thread if you need more.

Nice game and good use of space. As with others, I was impatient and cheated to get the clues for the last puzzle. I had most of it figured out, but did not pat attention to the door location on the fish map, so I was pressing the wrong stuff at first. Got most of the loot. The game was a little short, but still very fun. Played on expert, so lesser clues, etc.
Climbing and jumping are not my favorite parts of thief, but this one was pretty cool. Good luck to the author! :D
