What a magnificent mission. I just finished it on Expert with the help of the loot list. Without it, I would only have found about half of the required amount. Just when I thought there was nothing new anyone could show me in terms of hiding loot...! The hiding places some of the items were put were SO devious (easily topping the devious list for me was the key in the wall niche in the small pedestal room. Getting up there with diagonal running was a truly diabolical idea).
Beautifully elaborate and colorful architecture, truly stunning work. My only general gripe was that the scale of the whole complex was so huge that I constantly perceived my movement to be excruciatingly slow, even with diagonal running (actually, diagonal running didn't even seem to make a difference here). Maybe a few speed potions could have been placed here and there, or a secret magical piece of gear that gives you a permanent speed boost...
Other than that, thanks for the wonderful mission!

Excellent mission! But where do I find the ritual blade? I just got an orange key so far, and the sleeper and the strange medallion

I wish to extend an extremely heartfelt thank you to both of you for an extraordinary experience.
I am in awe over the effort put into the architecture, the game-play, and the ambiance of this FM.
As always, I am amazed at the quality of work that goes into fan missions such as this, that, in my opinion, didn't even exist in the original game.
I finished on expert, and only had problems finding enough loot, solving the jumping key puzzle, and the "false puzzle".
By no means have I never come across another FM of this caliber, there have been plenty, I've just kept silent about it for 10 years.

I'm having trouble finding the key to the righthand of the two double chambers, each of which has loot in the front part and a pair of haunts in the rear. The clues on here don't seem to be consistent. An explicit hint, if you please. ;)

Just past the room with the demons watching from the ceiling there's a lever to the left at the end of the hall. If you throw it one way, it opens the grates blocking the loot in the demons watching room. If you throw it the other way, it opens grates high up above the hallway you're in, a bit farther along, in the area with the doorway to the creepy chapel. Rope arrow up to the ones above that door way and you'll find the key in there.

Thanks NW, I had missed the fact that the lever in question was two-way.
