Ahh, I knew it was something I had overlooked. I remembered last night about popping up into another area, but then I turned around to explore something else. That was it! And I guess I did NOT [SPOILER]have the other Bonus objective, the 2nd Map.[/SPOILER]
Thanks again! :thumb:

I'm replaying this for about the seventh time(it is sooooo good!) but, as always, I can only find 8 secrets.
I've searched here, and apparently there is one near the miner's lodge, involving some roof-hopping.
I've been everywhere on the lodge roof but I can't get over to the next roof, falling onto the rusty pipes then down.

Please, can I have some hints? I am really stuck here, though no-one else seems to have had this trouble.

Wow, seven times? That's one hell of a compliment!

The way to the secret starts out behind the miner's lodge, but there's no need to get on the roof of the miner's lodge itself. At the back of the building, where the female mech patrols, there's a small gate/bridge-thingie, with a pipe sticking out of it, that you can get on top on. Just take the high road from there towards the square with the statue. I'll leave the details of finding the secret up to you for now. ;)

Just to confirm what's been said, no, there is no way to reach that guard.

A rock and two crates nicely stacked on the low bridge railing did get me up there. :cheeky:

I started by throwing a crate so it landed where I wanted to go. Then I stacked the rock and a crate, picked up the (previously thrown) crate and completed the stack. However, I wasn´t exactly stealthy during this, so the mechanist got agitated. But he was looking to my left when I mantled up, and I actually managed to get past him, into a shadow to the right. He still found me, so I tossed a flash bomb and BJed him.

After that, I had a look around up there and realized it was actually a pretty pointless place and I was probably not supposed to be there anyway. :p

All around great mission! :thumb: I had a blast.

I miss one secret and 50 loot. Someone mentioned a secret passage into the psychic´s place. I think this is the one I miss (since I got in through the door after smashing some boards). How do I find it? I got up on the roof on the low part of the place, but that was not it.

I half expected someone would find a way to get up there, there's always at least one who manages to go where they're not supposed to. ;)

The secret way into the psychic's place is on the other side of the building from the main door, in the narrowest part of the building (passage between tower and little house). Just look for an annoyingly small switch. Oh how inventive, I know.

Thanks for playing, I'm glad to hear you had fun. :)

My congratulations too, Morrgan. I actually regard this as the best thief fan mission I have ever played. The design and atmosphere is superlative throughout. I really hope part 3 will eventually be forthcoming.

Thanx for a great FM.
Now I wonder as everybody else will there be a Part 3 mission?

BR,

Thanks for playing!

I'm afraid I'm still working on my thesis, which takes up too much time. I noticed that it said "until at least the end of 2005" on the Projects page of my website, but things don't always turn out as they are planned and I'll be working on it for most of this summer too.

I haven't given up on Part 3, but there will be another FM released before that one. (Terrain is pretty much finished in that one, as is the story, so all that is left is making the place come alive.) It's one I started planning several years ago and worked on before Part 2 was released, and I'd like to see it finished before I continue with TGG.

WOW ! Another FM from Morrgan ! :thumb:
I can't wait, I CAN'T WAIT !!!

Hello everyone!

I'm pleased to announce that The Greyfeather Gems part II: Rodamill is finally ready for release. :)

Sounds good - do you recommend playing the part one first or does it not really matter?
