This is one of the best FMs I have ever played, and I have played a lot of them, I'd honestly put it into my top 3 or at least top 5. The exploration was an absolute joy, so many nooks and crannies and secrets to find out, and I like how the various places are interconnected in interesting ways. As for the readables, I often find myself skipping them in other maps but here they were often tied to the actual gameplay progression of the map and/or provided some interesting world building without being overly verbose. And this is your first map also? crazy. Fantastic job. :thumb:

I'm totally confused by the alchemist book
In the building where Magia is there is a small room named office on another floor that has a safe that I already opened way earlier. So no alchemist book.you also mentioned a secret passage between Maglia and Blasio,. Pls be outrageously direct in this spoiler pls!!!!
Alright, I think I found the right office, but over the desk there's a painting that cannot be frobbed. cannot find a button to move it

This was an amazing mission and i had a great time playing it.Thank you so much for taking the time to make it! I finished it on normal but there some things i missed.
1) [spoiler]there is a place with a person sitting in front of a fireplace with 3 frobable books that change the lighting if you frob them:green,red,blue,white etc.. is this a secret?[/spoiler]
2) [spoiler]I couldn't sneak past the casino,there is no way to kill the lights and they see me everytime.What do i do there? I went to the basement and i turned off what i thought were the lights but they are still on.[/spoiler]

Maga here is a hint for first line of your question I hope also helps -
Regarding the wall outline you spotted there is only one way to open it, think about fire and what to do with it, there is a hint towards this in the nearby area which you can reach with help of flares as well.I used a flare
on a torch and it opened a secret space with some fire arrows. where to go from here?

there's a painting that cannot be frobbed. cannot find a button to move itAfter finding the safe itself
behind the painting, you'll also need
the key for it if you haven't got it yet. If you still need to find it:
It's in Magia's place (fortuneteller), more hint:
turn on the lights to find it. Direct spoiler:
The key is in the mouth of one of the gargoyles. Turn on the lights because it's invisible in the darkness, or blind-frob to get it (the frob distance is set low on that key, so you must be close to it)Quote Posted by dedaki

1.) No it's for fun and decoration. (I originally intended some puzzle secret there, but I hadn't have the slightest idea how to do it back then, and I gave up on it and focused on the rest of the mission instead)
2.) Then you haven't found
the corresponding secret :), you can
switch off most casino lights from the office. (hint:
look closely in the stairways at the casino's level, there's also
another way into this passage, you can find it in the area entered from the sewers, just before the Thieves' Guild sewer entrance)
For entering
the casino itself, note that
opening most door inside startles at least someone in the room (it's not very ghosting-friendly unfortunately) :(
but it's possible to go around mostly undetected if you turn off the lights.Quote Posted by Tank_Abbott

Great! Thanks! It felt me really good reading your lines. I never expected such a good review of my mission :)

Read first the note next to the
fire arrows - it might provide you with some clue. If not,
look for a walled up room nearby. Direct spoiler:
It's just in front of the same corridor's not-so-secret door, in the thieves' basement. (In the segment with the armory).You need to
blow it open, which requires 3 fire arrows.maga on 30/12/2020 at 18:55
Finished in 7.48.41 10 out of 16 secrets.
I really never got bored playing this one, one of my top fave fms
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a very impressive mission. Currently I am at 5350 loot and 13 secrets.
RJS66 on 31/12/2020 at 20:10
Getting further. So far,14 0f 16 secrets and 4940 in loot. I will keep looking over my 3.5 day weekend.

what a mission!
so many secret hidden places and passages, I love it! I just found Joey in the vents - I worked my way up from thesewers, which obviously wasn't as intended :p
I just have one major thing left to solve before I finish: in the thieves' den there is an unpickable safe next to a moss arrow that clicks. I believe it is on the top floor. No key I've found will open it.
Doing a stat check I'm ~1000 short on loot and only have nine of sixteen secrets, so I know there is plenty more to find should I choose.
