There is another way to access the cathedral which also provides a handy escape when it hits the fan. Gather all the crates you can find (I had 6) from around town.
Take them to the low wall at the side of the cathedral and stack two high to enable you to mantle up onto the wall. If you drop some more inside the garden you can also surreptitiously exit this way. Alternatively, you can use a fire arrow to open the boarded up hole next to the wall and drop into the flooded tunnels to leave (open this before you grab the cultivator!). Once you are inside the wall, just enter by the back door and lift the cultivator.

Thanks!
Just finished the mission now. Couldn't do it without you.
And now on to a new one :)

Hello
I can't find any information about the threat . I think I've looked all over the place, but haven't managed to find it. I've completed all other objectives on this mission except that one...

Have you found [SPOILER] Layne's bedroom? You have to smash the boxes in the workshop upstairs and frob the wall torch in the space behind them. This opens the bedroom door, underneath the stairs. Jump up on the bed and look down between the top of it and the wall for a scroll. Read it and leave the room. The objective should tick off. [/SPOILER]

:o So there was a second scroll in there.
I just found the one telling you to get that cultivator and thought that was it :( . Thanks for the help.

[Folks]
Once again, I seem to be doing things all topsy-turvy. Spoilering up....
[spoiler]I haven't found Layne or even his workshop, I haven't found out anything about the Karrassinian threat... and I also haven't found anyplace to gear up; I'm stuck with two water arrows and one rope arrow, which I just lost because I couldn't get it out of the first, overhanging beam after I jumped onto the nearby roof.
But I have just triggered the cathedral stuff by stealing the Regurgitator, or whatever it is. Explosions, door of the cathedral opens, I see dead Hams and a skull-faced guy wandering around (and combat bots that seem neither to notice nor care about the carnage).
Oh -- I thought I was sort of sneaking in there, but lights lit up and Karras's voice told me that since I was a thief, I should just "steal away" (ho ho... don't I remember that from the last episode of Thief II? :weird: ) Did I alert something, or is that scripted?[/spoiler]
In any case, I have many previous saves, as usual: should I reload and do something else first, before I trigger the stuff above? Is there someplace I can get some equipment? I feel so naked....

I'd definitely suggest starting from an earlier save and doing LOTS of exploring before you trigger the invasion, Dafydd. There's lots to find, though I don't remember any specifics about where you pick up equipment in this mission.

...that I didn't just start; I've been playing this mission more than two hours now; I have almost 1000 loot -- but I'm just floundering around. I don't have any real idea where Layne is, or where I can get weapons. And my aimless wandering hasn't produced much. It took me this long just to find a way into the west side.
I was hoping somebody would say, go ahead and reload and head in this direction until you see thus and so; Layne is down these stairs or up top that roof or whatever. Or, wow, you're just around the corner from a weapons shop: head west (or east or south or north) and pick open a door that looks like a giant smiley face, or somesuchlike.
It's only a couple of years ago... whatever happened to Nightwalker's much vaunted idetic memory?
:idea:

@Dafydd
[spoiler]It's the locked door near where you enter the city, where you overhear the archer conversation from the OM "Life Of The Party". The key can be found in the cell at the police station.[/spoiler]
Nightwalker on 31/1/2004 at 17:59
LOL! I just thought you didn't want spoilers as yet, dafydd. salass00 has steered you in the right direction. In the jail [SPOILER] make sure you take a torch down into the underground jail cell as the key is quite hard to see. It's lying on the ground. [/SPOILER]
