T2 FM: The Ritual (Dec. 4, 2000)

I am having a little problem with this FM. I need 1200 loot but I can only find 1170. I know there is a place I havent been but I cant find anyway to get there. When you first come into the cult's hideout there is a bridge going over the room. Does anyone know how to get up there? Second near the place where there are 6 levers, if you go up some stairs there is a gate up to your right. I can see the lever but it is on the other side of the bars.

Does anyone know how to get into these places?

P.S. I know there is a walkthrough but the page wont come up so I am asking you guys.

I've gotten every objective except I'm short 175 loot, and I haven't rescued Merimee yet. There is one area in the catacombs I can't reach, which is a barred area near the tomb with the floating faces (near the five levers). I suspect the remaining loot is back there somewhere, but I can't figure out how to get there. I've searched everywhere repeatedly and no luck finding any passage. Any suggestions?

Hole in ceiling above floating face, you'll need two rope arrows to get up there.

I've gone through all three rooms with the floating faces, but can't find any hole in the ceiling!

Darn good mission, IMHO. I almost wet myself when I saw the long line of cultists patrolling the halls near the ritual site! Anyway, I dispatched all those baddies, and now I need to bulk up my loot total and get out with the little girl. What am I supposed to do with the crowbar? What is the solution to the god-awful "lever puzzle" and the gates that it controls? What do I do with the teleporter key? I haven't seen any teleporter anywhere. Thanks for the help! :)

I agree that The Ritual is a very good mission. :)

The teleporter key:
It opens a little closet at the end of the hallway leading to the ritual room. You open the door and pull the lever. Stuff happens.
The crowbar:
You use the crowbar to open a sarcophagus. You know the little tiled room where the huge death's head warns you to turn away? Look up at the ceiling. There's a hole and some rafters visible... You'll need two rope arrows.

Cheers guys. The solution to the lever puzzle - providing that you haven't moved any of the levers yet - is:

Hope this helps :)

I finished the mission a few hours ago after finding stuff on my own, but thanks very much for helping out! I have a few beefs with the mission (especially the ending combat requirement) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Praise The Builder of "The Ritual"...and The Builder. :)

Thanks in advance
