Why is it
out of it's box?Erm... because I'm evil? :ebil: The idea is
you think the treasure is in the box so take ages to pick it, only to be disappointed, but if you look behind it carefully, you get the prize. So yeah, just a mean trick really.

Crap! That would be a bug - those guys are meant to be invincible, save for the "puzzle" way to defeat them. Ah well, there's always one that slips through... Or usually two or three in my case! :rolleyes:

Yeah, even that
blue apparition in the iron cog puzzle can be killed with holy water.

bob_doe_nz beat me to it! And, of course,
fire stands is so much more helpful than 'whatever-they're-called'.
Trust me, I couldn't remember the word
brazier then and there when typing and went with
fire stand. :joke:

I'm only 10 minutes into this, but I find this mission really, really, really, really good (it has awed away my entire vocabulary)- like I'm talkin' one of my favorite missions of all time good.
I'll be back with more comments after I beat it, or maybe one of those big review things everyone keeps talking about.
(edit: Also I already found one of the five relics, so aren't *I* the man.)

Apparently I'm the only one that hasn't figured out the "Pillars of steel" thing... Any clues?
Also I found a little switch hidden way up on a pillar in the room with the four sarcophigi but I can't figure out what it does???

Not sure what you mean about the "Pillars of Steel" but I was going to ask about that button too.
I'm done except for getting out and I'd like to find the other relics. I've got 2, 3 and 5. Where do I look for 1 & 4 please?
This is a fantastic mission! Great atmosphere and sound, good puzzles that aren't too hard but hard enough, beautiful to look at...it's got it all! Excellent! :thumb:

button too. There is the plaque that says something like "Only when the pillar of steel is free'd will you gain access to the pool". It's on the ground in front of what appears to be a pool of water, but if I jump in the water I die. Right around the corner from this pool is the stone that must be moved from the other side (it tells you this when you frob it).
Hope that explains a little better. :erg:
