So I may have softlocked myself. I dropped the ancient hammer just before entering the foundry and as far as I can tell there's no way to get it back. Is the item necessary to progress further? I'd want to try it out in Matron's room.
Edit: And problem solved. There is a way to get the hammer back, just in case somebody finds themselves in a similar situation ;]

@czyysThe hammer is not actually used for anything other than decoration.

Hah, yes, I found out about it just a few minutes later. I was convinced Matron opened the gate to the asylum because I was holding the ancient hammer, so naturally upon reading the book in her secret room I expected it to have some use there as well.
Other than that small bump I enjoyed the mission, the atmosphere was set the moment I backtracked to smithy and it didn't drop till the final ride.

Jumped into these missions with this as the first. This was a fun ride, bit difficult to navigate but never got stuck. Reminded me a lot of the original missions of the same theme (Old Quarter) in that way. I was a little under 1k loot from the max so I assume there were entire areas I probably couldn't find a way to get to.

@GUFF - I'm glad you had fun and that it reminded you of the Old Quarter! The loot is very spread out and there are some areas with loot that are not required exploration to finish the mission. Here's a hint: In areas that have a lot of structural damage, the loot is much less obvious!
@downwinder - Thank you! I'm happy that you enjoyed it! If I had more time to build I would have made it twice as big.
