[SPOILER]look at the first iron gate, which is broken, near the Den entry. Take the little statues... and go to the stones block before the big iron gate, and put statues on them ;) [/SPOILER]
I thought for a while that those [SPOILER]statues might have something to do with it, I even started messing around putting them on pedestals[/SPOILER] but then I stopped and thought "Nah, Mike, you're thinking a bit too much outside the box here". :mad:
[edit]Just beat it. Really great mission, one of the best I've played in a long time! Probably the best in the series (though I'm going to have to replay the whole thing from "L'Arsene" just to make sure, hehe). Great ending too- [SPOILER] I kinda turned Garrett into an action hero near the end, weakening Arsene's henchmen with a few arrows then running in and taking all three of them on in a big sword fight. Poor bastards never had a chance. :ebil: [/SPOILER]

Well I've finished. Missing loot and secrets so am going straight back in to look for them.
Does anyone else feel slightly bereft coming to the end of this series, perfect in its entirety though it was. :( Only a couple of weeks ago I played the first 3 again, one after the other and then No 4 appears and I'm in heaven.
Do you remember Dallas when Bobby died and then a year later or whatever, he came back to life (in the shower?) - his death was just a dream. Surely Garrett was only dreaming too. Surely this isn't really the end, is it?

some of you are having trouble with the secrets so here they are:
(in no particular order)
[SPOILER]
1. In main hall of the fortress, frob a torch to the left of the main door to open a secret way to the kitchen
2.frobbing a button in the "junk" room by the Meeting room will move the wardrobe
3. Spin a ship's wheel in DE Valcourt's room to find his stash below
4.On the 3rd floor stairwell, frob a switch under the bench in the "gazebo" resting at the top of the stairwell
5.Frob a switch to the left of the Statue in Berenice's room to open a panel across the room
6.Frob switch behind window curtain window to open a panel under gargoyle in the 2nd floor bathroom
7. Frob the skull in L'Arsene's secret office
8. frob the switch on the side of the chair by the gate lever on the 2nd floor
9.lock pick a wall panel in a room by the library on the 3rd floor and open the chest
10. go around the back of the stairs leading up to the den (just past the iron gate) and frob a torch to open the back of the stairs [/SPOILER]
as for the 5th stone
[SPOILER]look behind a boarded up area in the forbbiden zone[/SPOILER]
EDIT:
for those of you who ware grasping for coins,
[SPOILER]there are coins in the rat-pit near Berenice's lab[/SPOILER]

Nickie, I'm sorry to say that, but it's really the L'Arsene' end :sweat:
This rat bastard must die :ebil:
I'm very happy my fm enjoys you, but I want to thank my betatesters, because without them, this mission would not have been what it is. Their advices were very helpfull for me.
:)

IS this amazing or What??? The story just keeps getting creeeeepier....:eek:
I was caught by surprise when [SPOILER]I opened the safe in "Arsene's" office[/SPOILER], I am not going to spoil it here, but Holy!@#$@$. Right at a time, late at night, when you are having to NOW look over your shoulder, checking to see what's behind you!
[SPOILER]I forgot to get my lockpicks off the table with the rest of my gear[/SPOILER], so now I am backtracking through the unpickable doors and chests, finding it much creepier to go through than the first sweep.
The color of the texture's are magnificent in many areas, and VERY VERY well done.
It's not over yet for me, as it's a very long adventure and I had to stop playing just to get a rest.
Ok, ok, really, [SPOILER]it was late at night, and I was AFRAID now!, Afraid to have NIGHTMARES in my sleep![/SPOILER], if I kept playing.
I think I am going to finish this mission and see how its all going to end! Do I really want to know though??? The goose bumps are like bruises NOW! and not going away! Between the story and what's been uncovered is not comforting at ALL! But, I got my trusty blackjack and I am going down the HOLE! What's down there??? L'Arsene is going to pay for this!!!:grr: <br>GULP!:erm:

Well I just had a look at the credits on this, my apologies for being too eager to start playing to look sooner. And seems there was a lot of input so my thanks again not only to you Gaetane but to everyone else involved as well. Pure unadulterated pleasure!
And I have the fun now of trying to find 180 loot [spoiler]without the delights of stone monsters chasing me - and only 2 'loose' people to avoid[/spoiler]

:thumb: That's o.k. with me. BUT if you're looking for an excuse to do some more Arsene-style missions: I still have a bone to pick with Berenice. So don't get lazy, do us a FM where we can annoy HER.
P.S. like with the Korrigans I love luring out the bad guys and watch them kill each other. :ebil: This time I only had to make sure all of the thiefs are taken out before I get the Gem

I'm still stuck on this one. Don't want to leave it alone yet. Was anyone else as cruel as I was. I didn't realise the room was all in shadow and [SPOILER]lured the three in the north west tower by noisemaker arrow, into the path of a stone monster, purely to get the loot on the table.[/SPOILER]Now how mean was that!
