biker - in the guardpost near the pool outside the ground floor of the Reliquary. There's an arrow.

cool thanks..
Also what is the hi-explosive and moon flowers for if anything..

The explosive device CAN be used to get to the ShadowJack, but it isn't really necessary. The moon flowers are just beauiful and that's it.

A short round of taffn' about didn't help me find any more loot, but I found a key that I hadn't found before, the Cellar Key. I tried to find what it opens, and as far as I can tell it
opens at least one of the doors in the ShadowJack door sequence. And I just chucked a couple of powder kegs at them.Actually, the Cellar Key works on the storm-cellar-style doors that lead between the garden and the basement, at the top of the stairs near that pagan fellow. These doors are also lock-pickable, so it is entirely possible that you have already gone through them before finding this particular key. I like to give the player as many options as I can, especially when it comes to getting around the mansion so there are relatively few doors that only open with a key or only open by lock-picking ... with a few noteworthy exceptions. ;)
In this particular case, I wanted to reward observant players with a quick way back to the gardens, in case they had chosen to enter the mansion another way and the cellar doors were still locked. Personally, I don't get much enjoyment from slowly picking a lock with no one around to potentially catch me doing it. If you look hard enough, you can often find keys to some of the harder locks. Just a question of knowing where to search.
As for the other door you mentioned
there is no key. All of those doors require ... special ... measures. :sly: Quote Posted by Bikerdude

The explosive barrels and explosive device from the Reliquary can also be used for a few other purposes ... like tossing them at guards or setting them off with fire arrows for fun. They can also be used to
damage vital machinery.Unkillable Cat on 25/6/2009 at 15:47
Odd. When I found the Emergency Supplies locker, I picked the lock and then used the key to lock it again. So I figured, as I had already opened every door in the basement, that the Cellar Key would just lock the door again it was meant for. I tried it on the "coal chute" doors, but they didn't lock. However, when I tried it on the "other" door, it closed and would not open unless I used the key on it again.
BTW, one weird thing I did that might interest a few taffers: I used the ShadowJack to kill the Skeleton Mage. I just hammered away on his back until he poofed.

That's great news. :cool::thumb:
Thanks, Gloria Creep :angel:

nice mission. did everything except the doors in basement. opened them by blasting a few but last room empty? am I missing the obvious?
thanks for the reply
Tannar on 26/6/2009 at 01:34
I wouldn't say it's obvious. Search that little room very carefully.

Thank you for this mission It is amazing great fun The attention to detail in it is wonderful. Lovely new things. :ebil:
Beautiful to look at too.
The Shadow jack, great weapon getting it was a blast.
Couple of questions I am one secret short. I got the main objective before I had found all so I saved it at that point, awesome though.
For last secrete,I take from reading an earlier post
I need to trigger the main objective then look in the theatre. ?
I am still 1050 short. It seems reading here there is
A Gold nugget in the Ballroom. I can not find it
I found all the Dollies Do I need to put them in a specific place for The tea party

Look up.
In the "weird stuff to do" department, I decided to try to vacate the Reliquary before taking the Scepter. Of course no one would come quietly with me, so after several shouts of "Don't Jack me bro!" I was busy escorting the Lord's security staff to a...safe location. I chose the Master Bedroom and soon enough there was a huge sleepover going on in there. Then I went and grabbed the Scepter.
Let's just say that the Hard-working Maid is going to freak out when she sees the Master Bedroom...when she finally comes to. Of course she's gonna have to find a way down from the chandelier first. The Lord and his crazy parties, eh?Also, was I the only one who felt I was playing the Thief version of Jet Set Willy while playing this mission?
