hint the symbols around the face are roman numerals.
outright spoiler the numbers indicate the position of the switches and the order of switching.

And this still doesn't make sense. I don't see anything on the door that looks like Roman numerals. Please just tell me which of those pyramid lights I have to frob in order to get the force-field down---I'm assuming it's those lights, since they're the only frobbable thing in this damn room.:mad:

Just completed this FM, very good story but some of the geometry and empty spaced could have been improved.

one thing i never found was the key to the guard hut in the street..

@Debrilliant, I just from them untill i found the order they needed to be frobbed in..

@bikerdude: That shed's key is inside the shed, you have to find a way into it from inside the monastery. It's one of the secrets you obviously missed, and is also by far the easiest way out once all hell has broken loose (which is in fact why it was added).

Here's an outright spoiler on the Codex puzzle solution for those who continue to be stumped by it.

The door through which you enter the Codex room has the now-familiar image of a tentacle-faced water deity which you've seen before, except in this case there are markings on it which are not on the others. There are three sets of scratch marks arranged in a triangular fashion around a center circle, which represents the Codex. The marks indicate the order in which the pyramid lamps around the codex need to be frobbed to turn off the force fields. So you frob the one behind it first, the one to the left (looking at it from in front of the Codex, by the ramp) next, and then the one to the right. You'll notice the three force fields around the Codex go down in order as you frob them. There are only 6 possible solutions, so trial and error and Quickload would have served you well here.

Unfortunately, I can't climb over the pedestals and need to enable new_mantle to do so. How do you do that? I haven't been able to find it in either of my Thief folders.
