The cell aera you're talking about is in fact the link between the city and the sect compound. Each door teleports you to a specific place in the city. That's both the exit and the entrance, so choose your path wisely or you'll have to cross the whole city map. It seems you took the right exit though.
Once again I explain how to get the Soul heart and the dead keeper. In the sect compound go to the second floor (the exits are on the 4th floor) and to the place above the Soul heart (the red gem floating). There is (was...) the protective soul patrolling around. In this place there are 2 frobables books to be found : one opens the door closed at the bottom of the stairs (to the dead keeper) and the other one opens one of the cages surrounding the Soul heart. That's it.
The dead keeper is indeed for the expert difficulty, so just pay him a visit but don't bother about it ;)
For the banner thingy, well I never had that invisible wall you experienced, and nobody complained about it before. Sorry but I can't really help you on this :)
Devilish ? Me ? Wait for the 3rd part, you saw nothing yet... :cheeky:

WOW !!! 3rd part is better ? Holy sh** ! Unbelievable. I can't wait for it. DrK, hurry with Dromed, please... :)
Will 3rd part have such an amazing features like a strange man, rooftop paths, crazy runner, etc. etc.... ???

Check this thread if you didn't already ;)

This one will be different from the two others, but I'm preparing you a few surprises... I didn't say 3rd will be better (you will judge by yourselves), I just said it would be more devilish :D

DrK...I said I frobbed both books you refer to, they did not open door at bottom of stairs..I asked if that was the door you find dead keeper inside? One of the cages (iron bars) surrounding SH did not open either. I even did the books up in Purple Hands floor, twice to see if one would open (perhaps even as a timed element)? I have looked over railing to see if one either rose up or opened from a side...none of these things happened. I also went down there as well to check both times of course. I don't understand what's wrong? Could it be those codes I recently replaced as per Schwaa2 for our T2 directory be affecting this?
Also I don't think I got the right door out as I was on the area overlooking the sewer side of Safe area and again very very high up where a drop down would most likely either kill me or injure extremely bad, probably kill me since I have no slofall potion! Perhaps your thinking the slide down that rooftop would prevent my dying and would be closer to the "Inn" I guess. But I guess I'll end up having to go back to "live keeper" and deliver him first I guess before I go any further into this part. None-the-less I still would be left with problem of the frobbing books, etc. Thanks

Normally, the books open the door and cage around SH. I don't know what's wrong, that bug never happened before, or at least nobody told me about that. Sorry but I can't help you here. (if you messed up your thief 2 install or whatever, then it might be the cause...)
And about that high place in safe aera : by falling (not jumping) on the little roof below you should land on the ground without any injuries. That place was for people who had to bring back the dead keeper, to avoid to cross the whole city with him (1 chance out of 3, got to be lucky :p).

Glad to see you got back soon to my last post but sad that I apparently cannot finish game. No I didn't have anything happen to my game...everything else has played fine up until now with this door/cage opening and the problem I had with the ledge to secret room. I can only give it one more try...frob books back out, close game, reboot computer, open game again and try once more. If that doesn't work, guess I'm out of luck. I've got the loot required, entry into Lab for exit key blah blah...just those last few things I've been discussing plus the actual experience of trying to leave town...so guess I'll just have to consider finished and since game won't complete for me...I'll not be able to keep it for possible replay later. Just have to be content with your next installment...which apparently won't be too much longer as you made a suggie by around Xmas time? Thanks anyway for your kind help along the way :)
EDIT: Well I went back into game and pulled both books out preparing to go do live keeper thing and then close game etc. When I took a wrong turn and ended back down to Soul Heart level...guess what? The door was open, and I didn't look, but I assume gate opened to SH as well? I saved game and came back here to let you know what a strange event this turned out to be :confused: So now I guess I'll have to see if I can actually get the rest done without dying. LOL Still don't understand why it seemed to have worked in reverse frob of books??? So I understand a little better...the books were meant to be pushed in not out...as I recall the very first attempt...they were out and I frobbed them in...is that correct?

Oh dear, that was months ago, today it's faaaar from being finished, so don't expect it for christmas (sorry)
Now I target something like April... :cheeky:
The Fire Eater on 7/12/2006 at 00:47
You missed seeing my edit for previous message as you posted before I added it...please check it out and you'll see why I need you to read it... :thumb:
EDIT again: Well I've finished it :) That excusion into Tunnel 13 was definately a thriller! Thank goodness I did read what to look for and where so I was able to stay out of the way of eminent danger and have the tip to help. LOL Kindof a preview of what's to come eh? :D As far as waiting till April more or less...gives me a little more time to breathe in between your missions! It was really well done and even though I had a few rough spots, it was really worth playing and seeing all the neat things you did in the build. Thanks until next time...continued success with your next project! :)
DrK on 7/12/2006 at 10:04
Ah, glad to know you manage to finish it, and glad to know you enjoyed playing my fms :)
thanks for the compliments :D

I'm stuck. [SPOILER]Where is the live keeper, and how do I open the secret door in passage 13? Also, I'm low on loot. Can anyone recall the location of any particularly had-to-find loot? I found a secret door up on a ledge overlooking the courtyard with the robot and lots of dead people (you can hear zombies from if you stand in the canal nearby). How do I get in there? I also found a metal wall in that canal that clangs when I hit it. Can you open that? I also found a clanging metal door up on a rooftop where Garrett says "Nice view." Can you open that?[/SPOILER]
