Uh! Oh! Just what does Castor look like? Have I blackjacked him somewhere in this mansion and not known it was he? Have done all the other objectives and covered all ground and no Castor.
:confused:

You may have Joanie. I did the first time and I had to go back to a save before that and restart from there. He's [SPOILER] dressed like a Thief and standing just inside the door of his private rooms. [/SPOILER]

And it doesn't say its he when you pick up the body?
I have taken that body and put it in the pool. It is now a corpse but does not tic off the objective. I think I'll take this as a successful mission completed. Thanks once again, Nw!

Hmmmm....
[SPOILER]Are you guys blackjacking him the first time you see him? or after he runs through his teleporter and is in the room with the gem. Because Unless he runs through that teleporter, the final Castor will not be triggered to teleport into the gem room. So if you are blackjacking Castor that's in his room, then killing him, that's why the objective isn't ticking off, because he is not the "Final Castor".[/SPOILER]

Blackjacked him on sight. Thought he was a thief.

I used the invisibility potion, walked up and knocked him out. He never had a chance to run. Because of that, I was never able to fulfill that objective. :(

One time I tried the Castor bit, I got up next to the First Castor without being seen, stood, and did an overhead sword smash. I smacked him a couple more times, and he started running.
He ran into the teleporter, then out of the teleporter, then around that section of the room a couple of times like a crazy man -- then he bolted to the doors and ran down the corridor calling for the guards... who came boiling into the room by the truckload and beat me into a pancake.
The next time, I tried blackjacking him first, then throwing the unconscious body into the teleporter, but that didn't work :cheeky: .
I haven't tried blackjacking the First Castor, then hauling him into the private room (with the gem) and killing him there, but from what you wrote above, I'm sure that wouldn't work, because you have to kill the Final Castor to check off that objective.
So I just sighed deeply and did it the normal way: smashed him a couple of times, made sure he ran into his little teleporter and disappeared, then went to that room and killed him.
Curiously, the Final Castor was immune to my blackjack in the gem room. Ha! But one of the times I backstabbed him, he actually died from a single overhead sword strike.

Uh... where's this room y'all are talking about where I find the book that gives me the flower-power objective (I already have the flower), where there is a stairway to the attic... and is that were I find the apparition?
Interesting mission; fun to ghost, though it's actually unghostable: you must attack or at least alert the First Castor to get him to run into the teleporter, which is required to spawn the Final Castor, which is the only way to fulfill your objective to kill Castor. But alerting the First Castor is a ghost bust. Blech.
Thanks,
Dafydd

[SPOILER]The room with the book is the room with the stairway to the attic and the apparition. You'll find it on the second floor, either use the stairs from the first floor hallway "the stairs near the pool room" and go up those, and it is the first door on your right. Or, you can go up the stiars right near the courtyard and go to the 2nd floor hallways, take a left, and another left and the door should be on the left. Make sense? :erg: It's in the mid west part of the 2nd floor hallway's.[/SPOILER]
P.s. Thank you Bassman! :thumb: I am very happy you enjoyed my mission :cheeky:
