[SPOILER] I started in the graveyard and ended up in the doc's room , giving me a better perspective on the story line . If you have found all your scrolls , etc. you now have to find the horn of quintus , which is where I'm sure I'm at . I also have to check out a fireplace and get the key for the gold door under the graveyard . Make sure you check out the armory before you tackle the graveyard - I'm assuming most of your weapons are used .[/SPOILER]

Armory sucks for being an armory, the barrels of death are nice though.

Here's what it looks like on the other side of the doors. You've probably already been there.
The graveyard can be easy, but unforgiving if you are seen or heard. The ghosts have limitations and weaknesses but fighting is not one of them.

What do we do after we open the portal door ?
Chiefdreams on 3/4/2003 at 04:56
If you're on "normal-easy" there's some loot.

I'm playing on expert , and I don't seem to be able to do anything in this room - I'm assuming there is someway to remove the two wires and lift the hatch .
bdkl on 3/4/2003 at 06:58
Done - the portal key also opens a door in the doc's lab , that's where I got confused . Maybe we could get a fix in version 2 ?

Please help me with this fantastic mission!
I've got the portal key and the armoury key and I've got the Mask, and the loot requirements, but can't find the armoury! The only "sewer-like" door I can find is on the floor and it isn't frobbable.
Also where is the gate leading to the portal area?
:eek:

Kimberley, next to the sewer door, at the wall, is a lockbox that you need to unlock with the armory key. Due to a small bug you have to do this twice, then the door will open.
EDIT: The portal area is south of the drawbridge, outside the main compound.
This FM is AMAZING! Those ghosts in the graveyard scared the s**t out of me. I didn't even see them until an army of flying skulls exploded in my face! Ooh, and those glass haunts :eek:
But I seem to have some problems with the graveyard crypt:
[SPOILER]I tried to remove the loose brickwall with the skeleton behind it by placing one of the explosive barrels from the armory in front of it and shooting a fire arrow. To no avail. Is there any way to get behind this wall?[/SPOILER]
EDIT: Don't bother, I've finished the mission. This was a really scary experience and lots of fun! You say the sequel is already 80% done? Can't wait to play it :cheeky:

Ok, this is very difficult for me. I absolutely hate having to ask for help on a FM, but this mission is so good, I simply must finish it. (playing on expert.... by the way, what's "ACD"? ... "Actually Considered Dubious"? ..."Always Conspicuously Dangerous"? ... "Also Can't Dance"? ...)
[SPOILER]I've got the loot requirement, knocked out all but two guards (who are as I speak perpetually attacking Frankenstein), and would like to believe that I've searched every inch of every room, corridor, nook, and cranny. I've read in previous posts that there is a rosary key which opens the gold crypt door. I've also read that this key is in a fireplace. I would swear on a stack of scrolls that I have thoroughly examined each and every fireplace in the mission, but I cannot find this key. I've even opened the mission in DROMED, and still can't find it. Can anyone please specifically tell me which fireplace?[/SPOILER]
Also,
[SPOILER]I haven't found the Horn of Quintus, and I know (from previous posts) that there is a gate I need to open. I haven't really been after this gate yet as I'm dumbfounded by the key, but hints would be most welcome.[/SPOILER]
Many thanks for any help, ....but, please be gentle... I'm not used to asking for help (sniff), ... my ego is shattered. :(
