this opening scene in another mission, I think I gave that up too because of box climbing on a slope has never worked for me. Is there another way into the caves? (Right next to the "seashell")...:confused:

I think jesps has abandoned T2, and is now exclusively a Dark Modder. A shame, really.

You're still near the starting point of the mission, right? Yes, there is another way in, but it's easy to miss.
From the center of the ship walk to its rear, then continue in that direction. You will soon reach a small, more or less circular, lake. Walk to the center of the lake, then turn left. You should see an opening on ground level in the rock face. If you still don't recognize it, walk sideways while looking towards the rocks. It should be visible from some position, then.
Should you walk too far, however, you will find a second lake, but this one has the form of a rectangle and marks the end of the path. This is the wrong one. Just in case you still miss that opening there; sometimes one can't see the purple light inside it, which means the cave entrance looks like the rest of the rock face there. When I re-played this mission recently, I must have walked past that opening at least two times without noticing anything.

I'd really appreciate some help in this. I haven't played Thief seriously for a year or so, and I think I have lost any skill I might have had. I've been wandering these mine tunnels for ages, without finding an exit. The only answer I can find states that there is a hard climb and a jump to a rope in the cave with a waterfall. I think this is the right place - a waterfall, circular cavern with sheer walls and a rock pillar, also too steep, in the centre. What do I do?

Lyril - If you're still stuck in the mines.... Find the mine tunnel with a little stream running down the side with a burrick standing still near to a metal structure. There's also a burrick that pops in from a side tunnel and goes out again. By the standing burrick there are two side tunnels. Take the one directly behind the burrick - from here, you walk up a steep, narrow tunnel and this is the way out of the mines. (If I remember rightly, the area you refer to is near to the standing burrick and the way out.)

Zapman : Beyond the storage room ( with the artworks ), [SPOILER]find a ladder leading down - corpse at the bottom has key to the mine entrance (gate with skeleton)[/SPOILER].
I've found 4 locked doors now - [SPOILER]1. In town, with sign above door with gears on it.
2. The Jail.
3. In mines, at the top of some broad stairs,&
4. on from 3.,further along some low tunnels, near a large spider & some bones.
Have "mine entrance" & "factory office" keys (+ picks) but can't open any.[/SPOILER]
Help?
I love asking a question after so many years! Anyway, I am curious where to find the key (assuming it exists) for door #3 above:
"In mines, at the top of some broad stairs"Thanks!

OK, maybe there is no key? Since you can get "behind" that door by
crawling through the circular tunnels nearby.
I think I (once again) answered my own question. :rolleyes:
