there are two locked rooms on the 3rd floor that are not pickable. where are the keys?

joanieS, it doesn't matter when you open the vault (I did after going into the cistern). Btw, it is possible to open it without alerting the security camera by leaning.

ShadowWolfe421, you need to find another way into those rooms. Hint:[SPOILER]Look in another room on the same floor that is accessible.[/SPOILER]

another hint:[SPOILER]Think outside.[/SPOILER]

spoiler:[SPOILER]jump from the balcony of the room next door onto the roof, then mantle up to another roof, then climb in the window.[/SPOILER]

Hope that helps! :) ...I'm still loot hunting... :p

Edit: Whew! Just finished with 1842 of 2112 loot. The [SPOILER]secret under the stairs in the tombs[/SPOILER] finally put me over the 1800 loot requirement. I can't believe there was another 270 loot left, cause I'd swear I scoured every nook and cranny. Great fun, though. I know that manor like the back of my hand now. :thumb:

I've done everything but the loot; I'm at 1567, I need 1800.

I haven't gotten into the camera control room yet; it's unpickable and needs either a key or a secret entrance.

There was a scroll that gave a hint: it said to go upstairs for some light reading. There is a library right upstairs from that note; an AI patrols it. Is there a spare key in this library? Or a trap door into the control room? If so, I sure can't find either one!

Anyway, once in there, what cameras can I turn off? I mean, where are they from that room? I found a room with a couple of masks in it, but they were easily looted without turning off the camera there... I assume (I hope!) there is somewhere else, somewhere with a lot of loot.

Help!

Thanks,

Dafydd

Dafydd,

[SPOILER]Check the ground next to each pillar in the library[/SPOILER]

There are only certain cameras (not all) that will be turned off from the control room, though.

Shadow, In one area there are two haunts patrolling the corridors. in the far wall, there are [SPOILER]3 switches, these switches open the gate where the golden hammer is.[/SPOILER] These haunts cannot be destroy, thus, you must be quick to activate these switches and get the[SPOILER]golden hammer. with this hammer you will need this to use it at another location, it says drop your weapon. and by doing so, it will have a draw bridge laid out for you.[/SPOILER] I hope you understand what I am trying to explain to you.
good luck.

finally finished only with 1802 loot tho and 4 of 7 secrets

does anyone know where the other three are?

another question in the area you come to after placing [SPOILER]the golden bones on a sarcophargus[/SPOILER]
the area with sarcophargi in alcoves of reddish brown, there looks to be a [SPOILER]crawlspace behind one side of the second one on the left
[/SPOILER]

i tried to get into it by getting on the sarcophargus and then dropping down but i cant even get up there. Was anyone successful?

Very nice mission, ROFB look foward to more from you :cheeky: :thumb:

Is this mission heavy with undead?

Jitz on 11/8/2004 at 05:18

If you stand in behind the table holding the "Last Notes" and look back out the entrance toward the bridge you will notice the red crosses turn into two red arrows pointing up...

I saw this and got that freaky hair standing up on end feeling and then thought "What a KICK ASS CLUE!!!"... :thumb:

I've been climbing around that building for 30 minutes now... :nono: I'm pretty sure I am wrong about the clue...

Or am I? :ebil:

Well, gonna go back in and slap myself around with a golden arm

Dafydd on 11/8/2004 at 05:26

I've finished everything (except getting back to where I started), but I only have three of the seven secrets.

Can ROFB or someone post a list of all the secrets? (I hope I don't have to go all the way back into the cistern area again!)

Thanks,

Dafydd

I just finished and what a fun mission it is! Thanks, ROFB! I found 5 of the 7 secrets and I'm short a little under 200g. from the total available. I'd be interested in a list of secrets too. :)
