Wow.
Really, Wow.
(corny beginning, aye?)
*********
SPOILORS***********
Okay, really, wow . . . From the beginning starting point (First time I've seen different difficulties at different starting points) of Warrior, the structure is amazing . . . Simple construction, but great eye-candy. The cave area after that was great with the two spiders (I hate spiders, really really hate spiders) and then that church area, which is a very pretty outdoor area, besides the undead you accidently tripped over, and then that sequence in the church (Or was that the church? There's a ton of areas you can explore) and the haunts start their patrol . . . And the freaky undead . . . (I'm bad at describing things, can you tell?)
and the new items are very creative . . . and the factory has that horror atmosphere (Hammerite Priest Beef, anyone?)
Okay, nevermind, me trying to describe how good this mission is through example isn't working too well.
If you're reading this, please download this. It's worth the 1 1/2 hour wait cuz you won't regret it later.

what is behind that locked door that is near the beginning of where you start on Warrior? I have used the secret on it...the only thing I haven't tried is getting there on Cutpurse and Rogue and using the keys you find on those difficulties. I wasn't really in the mood to stack zombie bodies

http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/smile.gifI don't have dromed 2 installed, it screws up my system, I think.
Help!
Nice mission.

I originally did have a little cave area behind there, but ultimately decided it detracted too much from moving forward and getting to the factory so I took it out. So nothing at all... sorry, heh heh.

Playing on "Warrior" and it's a little jerky throughout. Screen isn't snappy as it normally is. Garrett's reflexes are slower than they should be, particularly in a fight.
System is PIII 533/133,256m RAM, ATA66 HD, Voodoo3-3000 w/16mb. (About to put Voodoo5 in it) Perhaps I should be playing on "Cutpurse" until this gets fixed. Shame. Here's a mission I can play on expert without the "Don't kill anybody" restriction. Everybody is already dead! Ha. Ha.
Hints/Tips needed.
Near the beginning of the mission is a hole to rope into with a "Tar Bomb". What's it used for?
Also near the beginning is a Weapons Research Lab, w/ security device on wall. Where's the clue on what the combination is?
Mission objective is to steal Pagan Tome of Spells. Where is it?
Three stones. Stones appear to be gotten relatively easily. Grab it, & run. Killing the guys guarding them, much less making off with their respective heads, is another matter. Suggestions?
Where the stones are is a ladder down a tunnel, a river of lava, two posts with frobbable objects on them, a burric on the other side. There's a tunnel that leads to the outside on this side of the lava. Is this the exit/endgame, or is there more I need to do here?

Also near the beginning is a Weapons Research Lab, w/ security device on wall. Where's the clue on what the combination is?I put a brief note about this in the readme. There are 2 different hints on each of the respective difficulties scattered somewhere in the factory and church. It's just an extra... not necessary at all.
Mission objective is to steal Pagan Tome of Spells. Where is it?It's in a different place than on Cutpurse. It sounds like you've almost found it from the questions below.
Three stones. Stones appear to be gotten relatively easily. Grab it, & run. Killing the guys guarding them, much less making off with their respective heads, is another matter. Suggestions?The last words of the ghost you meet down there should give you a hint for each one (I'll post here if they're hard to understand). Also, although they're hard to see, there is a plaque at the entrace to each of the 3 areas that has a little info on the guardians in the form of a riddle or rhyme.
Where the stones are is a ladder down a tunnel, a river of lava, two posts with frobbable objects on them, a burric on the other side. There's a tunnel that leads to the outside on this side of the lava. Is this the exit/endgame, or is there more I need to do here?Again, the words of the ghost should help here. Also, take a look at that new objective you get after talking to him very carefully. And yes, that is a "quick" exit once everything else is done.
About the fps: I'm currently investigating a way to improve it. I should also have that alternate version out early next week.

Thanks,
Playing "Cutpurse" now. Game is different!
Starting position changes, open doors/grates in Warrior are now closed, & vice versa. Screen is normal though.
In Cathedral, basement door & upstairs door are locked. No keys yet, and lockpicks won't open 'em. Can't break door down with sword, either. Deliberate? Or do I need to hunt for keys?
I'll unzip and read/listen to files. Couldn't hear ghost too well.
Holy Shit Sledge!! You got some mission here!!!
Viper6 on 7/4/2001 at 04:26
Kill everything? Moi?
Actually, it depends on when I'm playing. On weekends, I get curious and like to explore. I have a lot more patience to play in sneak mode, and no ambush sites, swordplay, or sniper work.
During the week after work, I'll leave the loot, go in search & destroy mode, when everything that walks, creeps, or crawls is dead, I put them all in one big pile, then go get enough loot to finish the mission. Great stress reliever! You've heard of Lytha Style. Well, this is Viper Style. Ha. Ha.

Finished mission on Cutpurse. Framerate was good, but it looks like you had to cut about a third of the level out to do it.
Going back to Warrior. Any help out there in whacking guardians of the stones, so I can bring the nice ghost his heads?
Anybody figured out the Weapons Lab access codes yet?

Going back to Warrior. Any help out there in whacking guardians of the stones, so I can bring the nice ghost his heads?Look for the plaques at the head of each of the 3 areas where the guardians are... they have hints. Email me if you have trouble with any one of them in particular.
Anybody figured out the Weapons Lab access codes yet? Heh heh, sorry Viper. Can't give that out here
