T2 FM: Retaliation (Mar. 18, 2004)

Finished! RE: Castor [SPOILER]I went back to an earlier save, hacked at Castor until he ran away to the transporter and let him get away. Again, however, the New Objectives did not appear- I'm guessing that is a bug. Anyway, eventually I tracked him down to the room that say "Private!" where I killed him and the objective ticked off.[/SPOILER]

A little buggy, but this mission was a lot of fun. Seems like there's a lot more to explore, so I will go back and play it again!:thumb:

Oneiroscope - Thanks, I'll give that a try. As for the new objective, was that when [SPOILER] you read the book in the small private library with the stairs up to the attic? The objective that you get is to find that bunch of flowers (I forget the name) from the Consveratory patrolled by the little mechanical spider. If you already have the flowers in your inventory, you get the objective and it ticks off at the same time. You may not have noticed that it did this if you were looking for a new, unticked objective. [/SPOILER]

edit: That did it, Oneiroscope! Mission accomplished with all the loot found. Excellent mission! Thanks, HipBreaker!

RE: the New Objective-[SPOILER]Went back to get the flower, this was AFTER I read the book, and the objective still didn't appear. Went back and read the book again, nada. Nightwalker, did you get the flower first? Maybe that objective only triggers in a certain order?[/SPOILER]

Nightwalker on 19/3/2004 at 22:55

Yes, I already had it in my inventory when I read the book.

Has anyone had trouble loading this one ? I get the splash screen , however when the objectives load , they are for Running Interference . :sweat:

Having a bit of trouble with this one. I can't find the gem fragment. I've knocked out all the guards and turned off all the cameras. I've searched high and low to no avail. btw, [SPOILER]I've got the same problem with the flower objective; I found the flower before reading the book and got the "new objective" sound when I read it but no new objective.[/SPOILER]
Also,[SPOILER]Has anyone managed to use the teleporter? If so, how?[/SPOILER] I really liked this mission. Lots of patrolling guards that are a bit tricky to take out.

PS: I'm playing on normal if that matters.

Thanks

JACKofTrades [SPOILER] only Castor gets to use the teleporter, I think. I've only playe through on Expert, so I can't say how the objectives, etc. change on each setting as yet. I found a gem fragment hidden in the Library (frob a book) but I don't think it ticked off an objective on Expert. The Glorius Gem is in a locked room. First you have to get Castor's Key, get into his rooms and get a key from there that opens another locked door (not far from the bar area). That's where you find it. [/SPOILER]

Thanks Nightwalker, finished it now with just 100 loot short of the max. Think I'll run through this one again on expert. When I first visited the library [SPOILER]I hoped that the author wasn't devious enough to make me search all the books. :cheeky: [/SPOILER]

really nice job, hipbreaker :)

i had the little bug of the objectives for the flower not showing up on screen also, but it worked fine otherwise (had to cheat and smack castor through a door with my sword :p i didn't realize that's who he was & thought the mechanists would beat him up for me, trying to get that to happen turned out a bit nasty... and bloody ;))

cheers!

Great mission HipBreaker. [SPOILER]I get the flowers first then found the book that gives you the objective. This worked fine for me and just ticked off when I read the book. I was playing on expert and the only bug I found was the "kill no more than 3 guards objective" if I killed ANYTHING including ghosts I failed this objective still loved it though.[/SPOILER]
