I was wondering if there was another way out of the pyramid after you grabbed the mirror, since I saw a hole coming out of the ground near the waterfalls, and in the pyramid's basement there is a water bassin with a sewer hole that maybe could be opened. Is that a way, or is my fantasy just running wild?

Nope, there's no way out, except the entrance which already you know. ;)

I finished the campaign, and I'm amazed. You took the good parts from your two previous FMs, left the bad ones out, and created this. I had a lot of fun.
Spoilers ahoy!
In mission 1, I got excited to rob some tombs, so was a bit disappointed to see it was a fort. After meeting with Keeper Larius and getting the story a bit, things got a lot more interesting. I liked the multiverse, and I liked the fortress's design, but gameplay-wise it was maybe the least out of the three missions for me. Probably my own fault since I didn't ghost it, which would been more fun in this mission. It looked great nonetheless.
Mission 2 must be the widest mission I've ever seen. I loved the walk to the village, with so many different areas, and how you made such big outdoor areas. It felt realistical in a way I've never seen before in Thief. Especially the bandit's hideout with view, and the pyramid. The thing I'll remember best in this mission, because I REALLY didn't see it coming, was Kafee being a ghost. I sat with open eyes, and began laughing. Not because it was funny, just because I really didn't see it coming. Great idea there!
Mission 3 was short (didn't wanted to go into every room again) but lots of fun. You get plenty of help from the bandits at first, and when the special protection arrives...yummy!
Great idea to create another opponent! Now you'll have two main enemies, which can prove interesting. In the next part I hope to see some more background on the mage, and what the Element of Three Forces actually can do. (Because simply 'conquering the world with it' seems fairly cliche). I'm looking forward to the end of the story, and thanks again for this great campaign!

You must have received a 'Letter To Kafee' from Keeper Larius from the previous level.
(Go to the library, look for a hidden switch, give medallion to Larius.*
On Level 2. Put it into the mailbox in the Village. (Coffin shaped thing next to a shabby building) *
Kafee will then want to talk to you. Go to the haunted Bandit's hideout.*
Look for a letter that mentions Sagon.*
Give it to Kafee*
Now, go to the waterfall area (Follow the river flow) with burricks. Head to the waterfall. It will trigger Sagon. He will walk to his secret cave. He has a key on him that will open the lockbox and his secret hideout.Quote Posted by DarkMax
and where is the Mirror of Return?:confused:
*
You need to have the Magic Torch from the building near the cemetery.*
When you get to the broken bridge, cross it, climb the rocks and trees to a new area with a pyramid. Explore the pyramid for a teleporter. Get it working and solve the puzzle. (e.g I'm not going to spoil it for you :))

How do I get back to Larius once I used the mirror on the stones??... must be missing something
gregak on 25/4/2010 at 07:57
no worries I got it, was a room upstairs now open that wasn't before :D

Ok. I just resumed playing this. I got the mirror, came back to the pyramid and was walking along the other side of the river, near the waterfall, when I found a sealed cave with a lockbox next to it. I tried picking it but it won't open. Does anyone know where I can find the key?

Azaran - You will only gain entrance to this cave when you found a secret area in the library in mission 1.
