TAC An Old Friend - Nov. 30, 2008

A very lovely mission, especially all those steep narrow streets with a lot of secluded corners.:thumb:
Meanwhile i am stuck. I did find some lever in the wine cellar below the kitchen and it does open something but can't find what exactly. Any help or hint here? One more thing. In the wizard's tower on the first floor there is a way down and it is blocked with a barrel. Anybody knows if it means anything?

Sneaky Aniza - go upstairs to the other end of the kitchen & look under a shelf.
And never could move that barrel - could be part of a proposed expansion.

Barrel? It's made out of wood. Try smashing it.

Thanks to all for help. And smashing helped and everything I've found there only added to my positive opinion about the mission.

:laff: Rats; I was so spooked by the sound problem, I desperately avoided making any noise - & forgot to go back later. Think I'll do that now. Thanx N V.

I seeem to be getting objectives problems with a lot of these TAC missions. With this one, when I achieve the loot objective, on expert, then the 'go back to where you started' objective completes at the same moment, no matter where I am. So I can't finish...

Unfortunately, the proper Readme doesn't show or you would have been able to read the "known bugs" section which says:

I cannot get the "Get back to were you started to work so once the other objectives are done the game will end.

So that's what is supposed to happen though it's a little confusing when you don't know to expect it.

I also enjoyed this mission, it had a classic thief feeling. The placement of the AIs was very good, kept me on my toes. Yes, there was some problem with the sounds, and the mission ended when I got the spectre. I already had the loot amount, so the only thing I did not do was to get back where I started. But in all, it is a good mission.

Not sure if I found the Wizard's Tower or not . . .

Plundered Bafford and his scepter, got into armory, went into hole to find library and secret panel into sewer - explored two rooms down here - turned on a generator - got into bar and got the loot objective after opening the chest in the basement (which ends the game)

I got all the objectives, but it seems like there is a whole nother part of the map I haven't found yet - plus I have several keys I haven't used! Any ideas?

Wizard's Tower is in the south-east corner of the map (right, uphill & right again from where you exited the first alley) - & check out the crates just near the door.
Can't think of anywhere else you've missed.
