When you walk up the ramp into the park (after using the pressure plates on either side of the gate), there is one of those black robed people who sound like a werewolf or something. He/she has a blue key on their belt. When you snatch it into inventory it is labeled "tomb key".

thats key opens the cemetary gates if you don't use the pressure plates and is most likely there to allow the priest back into the underground area, you can steal that key and lock the priest out using the pressure plates for fun.

Well, that makes sense! The key guy is standing right outside that door. I was thinking "tomb" meant one of the individual tombs not the whole place. Anyway, finished the hop-scotch over the acid water dragging a dead body with only two "mishaps". Wasn't as trying as I thought. Thanks for the help, you all. :thumb:

Here's a fun thing to do: before you enter the cult's lair, leave the chapel door standing open. When you emerge later with the girl, the hammers will have gotten in a fight with the cultists, leaving you with fewer enemies to worry about.

Actually, you don't need to burn a slowfall potion: if you just run to the end and jump up and down, the wall will keep retracting.

I did that a couple of times, then stopped and shot a rope arrow into the ceiling; then I jumped up and down once or twice, then backed off, ran, and jumped onto my rope arrow. Once I figured this out (after dying a dozen times or so), it was fairly easy.

I read a tip in one of the Ritual threads (not this one, I don't think) that after you rescue Merimee, you can just go into the Hammerite temple, lock the door, then go up to the balcony upstairs and jump down. Her Annoyingness will be trapped in there while you go off and KO the remaining cultists!

I actually found them fairly easy. Just use the old Thief trick of standing in shadow, leaning forward, and bopping them before they get close enough to see you. I even got the entire conga line outside the ritual room that way :cool: .

Hi,
I'm trying to play the game for the third time and I'm loosing hope.

I'm trying to preform the ritual underground. Water and moss are easy....
Blood however... is a problem... where is it? How can I find it?

If there's anyone for help, thanx. If not... I honestly lost fun playing the game.

People have blood. lol

Use the body by the fire, or coldcock one of the guards and play Freddy or Jason at the altar.

Hemmorhage run rampant is the name of the game.

The more violent the better. Better still, kill, then kick to the alter.
