T2 FM - NewDark 64 Cubed Contest: Zealot’s Hollow

Need a little help. Think I have done almost everything except I cannot locate the third, and I think last, body. I believe it is in the room where there is a patrolling ghost and a place to drop through the floor where he is. I was there once and killed the ghost before I had the holy water but I can't find the location again. Please help-I have been running in circles for too long!

It doesn't work that way. In your Thief 2 folder, look for a file called cam_ext.cfg. In that file, toward the bottom, you will see a few lines that look like this:

[INDENT]; -------------
; game specific
; -------------

; enable new mantling code
; new_mantle[/INDENT]

Remove the semi-colon from in front of new_mantle so it looks like this:

[INDENT]; -------------
; game specific
; -------------

; enable new mantling code
new_mantle[/INDENT]

Then save the file.

I have found the file but I cannot open it to amend the details for new mantling...how do you open this file?

Any text-editor will do. Try Notepad - or rightclick on the file and see if Windows offers you a 'Open with...' menu.

This area is in the north eastern part of the map, below the guard tower. Use the "Thief's Highway" (the roofs) to accesss it.

hi everyone!!!!! is there any chance to find some holy water to deal with the ghost in the rooms with shrine's key?? I am tired of getting killed every time I try to hide from it...it finds me every time!!!!!! and I spend my 2 flash bombs foolishly enough...if only I knew... please heeeeelp....by the way, I played almost all the entries and I liked them all, but I have a softer spot for depths heights and mantling and this one is a mantling playground :cheeky:

On "expert" I haven't found any holy water to battle them.

One way to solve this situation: Dowse all the reddish lights and quickly sneak around it. The rest of the mission - including getting rid of these ghosts - can be done only after opening the shrine.

Thanks Calibrator! That did it. Finished!

I finished this mission but never encounter any ghosts

I found it was possible for the ghosts to walk into the walls and disappear under the right circumstances. Maybe this is what happened for you.

That's actually another possible technique for removing them from the level, if they annoy anybody too much

...and found a window I cannot climb through that has a priest type with light balls slowly raising from him and at the bottom the room with the mechanist relics in it..no rope arrows

One technique with the new mantling is that if you crouch in front of a window and jump, you will mantle through the window while staying crouched. This lets you mantle through windows that would normally only be accessible by using a crate to drop and then crouch through from ontop of the crate. In this mission, you can use either method to get to the places you need to enter. But windows that are too small to fit through are still impassible.

thanks Calibrator!!! I too realised that there is no holy water...(by the way, I meant the gost in the basement with one of the dead bodies and the key) but any way, I had to jump down quickly, grab the rope arrow ,go up again, wait for it to calm down and then go back for the key, and then once more for the loot.. phew..!!!!
