I finished it on expert with 111 / 119 loot, 75 required. I ghosted it up to the end but then resorted to BJ / killing all because I had to retrace my steps and hunt harder to find loot and keys. I needed help from this forum in several places, including the air key and the rusty key.
I thought that the mission was a lot of fun to play and well designed. However, I thought that it was generally too hard. I found quite a few difficult secret areas. I saw a number of apparent secrets to which I could not find switches in spite of extensive hunting. Switches still not found include:
Wall texture near floor in beginning haunt area;
wall grave covers in room by zombie (what is the purpose of the frobbable grave cover on the floor?);
middle door in generator room near end -- can that be entered?
The difficulty did not prevent me from having a great time playing it.

How to disable new_mantle in this mission?
Unna Oertdottir on 29/8/2019 at 08:58
Edit cam_ext.cfg in the root folder like this
;new_mantle
Xmodule999 on 29/8/2019 at 09:15
In file cam_ext.cfg new_mantle is disabled, but in game is still enabled for some reason.

Check
fm.cfg in the mission's directory.

In this case new_mantle is disabled if is disabled in files cam_ext.cfg and fm.cfg. Mission completed with total loot 89/119.

An odd state of affairs here; I played and finished this lovely mission a few months ago and decided to begin playing through all of my favourite TDP20AC FM's again (about ten FM's). I have managed apart from one hint to reach the end again however, the objective [spoiler] Could any of these urban legends be true? [/spoiler] remains and I am now at [spoiler] the waterfall. [/spoiler] I do not recall missing any readables and have been through all areas playing on Normal difficulty. I am running from one end of the map to the other wondering what I have missed! :) Any hints gratefully appreciated.
Think I may have solved this myself [spoiler] I ran straight over the Urban Legends book at the very start without picking it up![/spoiler]
Replaying on a higher difficulty now.

I enjoyed this mission.
I see it as an example of the triumph of content over form.
Few fancy textures or advanced techniques here. Just some well-used Thief tropes assembled in clever ways to keep the player looking and exploring.
Nothing ground breaking (though a special kudo for the skewed water surface in the water realm; that could be the basis for a unique mission design on its own), just a lot of fun.
I give this one a 7/10
