I literally blackjacked the last few to death because I was out of supplies.
I congratulate your adeptness in being able to do that without dying. :eek:

I don't think I ever got the [SPOILER]secret door in the cells open. [/SPOILER] I don't believe you need to do that to complete the mission.
I don't think there is a hidden door near the child in the cage. Just go up the staircase past 2 zombies in cages.
The [SPOILER]magic rock [/SPOILER] makes the second half of the mission go easier. Did you find it? [SPOILER]You have to climb up to it with rope arrows, the one at ground level is a decoy.[/SPOILER]
As for the lord's room, look for a room that leads to an entrance hall with a huge staircase flanked by fire pits. There is a patrolling hissy (the manlike creature that sounds like a spider), and under the staircase is a small space with a demon (spellcasting creature that sounds like a rat-man). There is a book which will give you some clues on what is going on, and how to find the lord's room.
The lord's private room is accessible from the center of the round hallway with the 4 metal doors. You open these doors by [SPOILER]a series of switches [/SPOILER] around the castle, starting with the [SPOILER]switch hidden under the book described above[/SPOILER]. That one opens [SPOILER]a door to a magic ladder [/SPOILER] that takes you above the entrance hallway, where there is a [SPOILER]switch in the ceiling above the fountain. [/SPOILER] There is also a [SPOILER]switch in a room that is full of water with red waterfalls in the corners.[/SPOILER] When you have activated all these, the doors in the round hallway will open.
Behind the doors in the round hallway is another clue written on the floor, "take the path of the air." [SPOILER]You will see that the ceiling is wood. Now, look carefully at the column beyond the lava pit, up near the ceiling. If you don't see an opening, go into the hallway and come in another door to the lava pit until you can see the opening in the stone column. You can rope arrow up to the metal platform and climb into the opening, and inside is an elevator up to the lord's room. [/SPOILER]
Your English writing is much better than my German, so I hope these instructions are clear to you.

The secret door in the cells is opened [SPOILER] with a lever on the side of the "barbeque" in the first room you enter from the gravelled area past the zombies. A sword is hidden in the room behind it. [/SPOILER]
The switch in the room with the pool doesn't have anything to do with the entrance to the Master's room. The switch in there opens up [SPOILER] a small panel in the middle that has some loot or something in it. [/SPOILER]

I prefer the alternative means provided:
As I didn't like to waste expensive equipment, I used the ladders from the garden instead + climbing them is much more comfortable RL is hard enough so why toil around in the Thief Universe?

Thanks for the clarification. It has been 3 months since I played that one...I'll have to go open that secret door now. :sly:

What about the hidden door near the ladder? Next to the room with the child in the cage is a small square room. (In the middle of the floor is a square opening with a ladder going down.) Every time the hissy thing walked past it the door would slide down and then back up. I've looked for pressure plates and buttons but can find neither.

That trap door is [SPOILER] a way out of the area that you access from the jail cell secret. I don't think that you can open it from above but I'm not sure. [/SPOILER]

so I don't have a main thread to use. One of the main questions I have was referred to but no real answer. That is the Derelict House quest. Mission is to find out what happened inside and might as well find out while I'm here? OK...can't get in through barred door. One window is small and very very high up. Other window on same side as door is also fairly high and appears to be too small for our gal to get through. I'm not a crate stacker and have no rope arrow? So how am I or when am I supposed to be able to get inside???
Not sure I have quest yet but maybe...finding out about friend...read what and where to do this but is this something that should actually be done first before going to Keep rather than after you get back..since it seems to be that after you've been thru Keep, you should actually end Mission by finding "way back to city". Sounds a little confusing to me via various questions about same.
Also, at one point I did go back to house after I'd gotten my picks to open a couple of places/things that were previously unattainable. One was the "secret way to keep". Didn't actually know that till I read thread..but in trying to enter that area, just because at the time, I got stuck and the whole visuals got crazy on me...like when you go outside of the game area and the graphics get mirrored. I couldn't go forward or backwards to get unstuck so I had to reload (QS) and of course ended elsewhere. Now it seems that is the way I'll need to take...just hope the same thing doesn't happen again, else I won't be able to get what I'm after...namely special sword!
That's it for now...have made myself a .txt file with many other helpme's from all the other threads I read to give me added info I know I'll be wondering about. So please assist in guiding me about above issues. Thanks. :)
Note: Playing Hard mode, and game ver. 2.4.

T1 or T2 version ?
It's been a long time, not sure to remember everything, but :
- The derelict house :
[SPOILER]Aren't the windows breakable ? Perhaps look for a secret passage ; I'm not sure any more.[/SPOILER]
- The friend :
[SPOILER]In the church, there are some wood planks to break on the ground...[/SPOILER]
- How to break in :
[SPOILER]Actually, there is another way ; the first time I played the FM, I forgot the "buffet lockpicking passageway" and tried to jump in the river, near the big door of the Keep. I knew some times later that the author intentionally put barriers to keep players from doing this...but it works.
Once in the river, you'll find some pieces of ground to jump on, then, a rope arrow on the ground above you (yep, it works) and you're done.[/SPOILER]
