Even if there are no specific difficulty-specific changes in a mission, the standard differences always apply (unless someone specifically went to the effort to remove them, which seems unlikely):
Normal:
Player has 22 hit points, 35 seconds of air, only takes 80% damage, receives double healing
Hard:
Player has 16 hit points, 32.5 seconds of air, only takes 90% damage
Expert:
Player has 10 hit points, 30 seconds of air
Sometimes FM authors note that all the difficulty settings are the same, or even change the names of them all to be the same thing, but I've never seen a mission that removed the above differences.

I've just replayed this mission on all 3 difficulties, and have beaten it on all difficulties. My error in thinking the mission does not finish was that I had failed to read the Ringleaders plans scroll which means I had not triggered the objective ''Now that you have the ringleader's scheme, you can get out of this cursed place using tunnels in the basement."
Once I had done that and thus triggered all objectives I went to the basement, flipped the lever, crouched behind the stairs, got a health potion ready, and hit use/drink the moment the first explosion occurred, this gave me enough new health points to survive, but you then need to rush to the other side of the basement to survive the second explosion. Enter the hole in the wall and mission completes correctly, this works on all 3 difficulties.
There are 2 health potions in the mission, on the ringleader patrolling the lower level and in the footlocker in the attic, you may need to use both of expert.
You may need a bit of trial and error but it works, the dml doesn't need changing.

The next release of T2FMDML is now available in the first post, now accounting for all missions released up to and including the year 2007. All mission DMLs are now fingerprinted using object IDs/locations rather than quest variables, substantially decreasing the likelihood of multiple missions incorrectly matching the same fingerprint.
This release is integrated into T2Fix 1.27b.

I tried including T2FMDML when playing T2X, but it crashes upon loading the first mission. If I remove '+T2FMDML' from the cam_mod.ini it starts up just fine. I'm using T2Fix 1.27b.

Loads correctly with my install and I know it also loaded correctly with marbleman, are you playing the (
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jJmppXCLAAaK_rpXaClYLjNRAuRt9jJd/view?usp=sharing) ND compatible version, the dml's for this campaign were made for and only tested on that version though there shouldn't be any conflict on other versions including the HD and NecroAge versions.
One thing that was picked up recently by marbleman was there may be an issue with the secret counts as in some circumstances the campaign culminates the the secrets found over the whole of the campaign, something I never came across when testing but marbleman discovered and Jax was working on a fix prior to release of T2Fix/FMdml but only he can say whether those fixes were included in the latest release.

share the logs and crashdumps (from your T2 folder).
Jax64 on 15/1/2020 at 21:58
Yes, logs would be helpful. Additionally, did you install T2FMDML manually or through T2Fix?

To respond to this, a fix is still in the works but has not yet been deployed to the public

It works on T2XNecro, and I did have the ND version, but it can't have been the recentmost one, as the one you linked to had a different file size than mine. Once I tried with the newest one, it worked fine.
Thanks!

The other commonly available file is T2X_1.1 which is usually said to be ND compatible but I'm not 100% sure it is ND compatible. The file Ricebug released for ND is just called T2X but is not available on all d/l sites.

I see that "Horns of Canzo pt. 1: A Long way Up" is on the list of fixed missions, but its still unbeatable unless you turn off new mantle. Near the very beginning you have to jump in some water, swim through some tunnels, and come out and mantle up out of a hole and into a cave. With new mantle on, you cannot get into that cave.
