Yeah, I should qualify what I said about "1/3 through" after one playing. The way I personally miss so much the first time through, it's more or less true. But those whose playing styles that are more thorough will find a lot of similarites in each version.

Well two of the difficulties have the <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><div style="background-color:#000080"><font color="#202080"> expansive, quite dangerous and annoyingly well lit Manse opened up to varying degrees, with different enemies and puzzles</font></div></blockquote> If you're one who plays the latter difficulties first that won't seem like much of a big deal.<br />I still like a 'Balls and All' expert difficulty though. Would have worked a treat in IM, I think (assuming the mission didn't collapse under it's own weight).

Hey there, I'm playing Inverted Manse at the middle difficulty level and I can't seem to find the pagan spell book. I'm presently in a library of sorts and I had to kill a Haunt and 2 Zombies in order to peruse the shelves unmolested. I found 2 useless books on a table, but no spell book. Am I in the right room? If so, where do I look for the spell book? Thanks for your help! :)

You should visit basement area... And Inverted Manse!

Unfortunately, as far as I'm concerend, there's no real way to describe the places in the Inverted Manse (my only gripe with the game is that the architecture is a bit random, which is fine for a more natural place, but always make me lose immersion in the game slightly if it's in a creature built setting).
Just keep searching, you're in the right sort of area (I'm talking about a big area here, not confined to several rooms), so don't go rushing off to a entirely separate part of the level. It's not really all that hard to find, there's probably just a door you haven't opened yet.

I found the tome after grabbing the last stone and I finished the mission. Great FM, creepy as anything I've ever played, but I do take issue with the fact that all the objectives were presented as "equal" when in reality there was no way for me to grab the tome unless I had already grabbed the last stone. So I spent (wasted, that is) a lot of time running around looking for the magic tome so that I could grab the last stone without burning myself, like in Undercover. I assumed that by using the tome and reciting a spell in front of the stone I would be able to grab it. :mad: After much frustration, I decided to try filling my empty vial with the stuff from the fountain, which obviously did the trick, but this action was totally alien to me and a total shot in the dark!
So, if the creators of Inverted Manse and/or other missions are reading this, please do not present all objectives as "equally attainable" when there is an iron-clad chronological ordering of 2 different objectives. You will save your fellow sneaksie thiefsies valuable time if you will not mislead them this way! <IMG SRC="idea.gif" border="0">

Sorry 'bout that. On Rogue I thought it was fairly obvious since one of the main doors in The Room of Doors was frob ignore. I've gotten a question or two about that last stone before, but the plaques I think (I hoped) provided adequate, although difficult, hints on how to get each puzzle piece. In the readme, there is a note that lists how each difficulty level plays (Rogue being the puzzle one), so I might suggest trying it out on Warrior mode if you want a slightly quicker and more straightforward fix.

I thought the puzzle hints were just right. Although that one was a little hard. I thought the hint had to do with 'earth' and I kept trying to use mud arrows and rocks to put out the fire. I even tried holy water later, but then I finally figured it out after I found the vial and knew immediately what I had to do with it. :cool:

Yeah, admittedly I think in retrospect it would have made a lot of sense for me to also make the puzzle solvable through the use of a single holywater arrow. That probably would have been more logical and would have been more in line with "multiple solutions to one problem." Doh!

Wow... Inverted Manse is really well done, great architecture, good writing, good story, good gameplay. I finally got past the beginning of dealing with (IMHO) overly sensitive Haunts. I finally figured out that my glowing sword is also blessed holy... and I'm just playing Cutpurse; am I lame or what?
Well, so far I can't seem to progress. I have only been to (according to the automapper) the upper half of the map. I have in inventory:
<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080">
- war gaunlet
- factory entrance key

</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
Where do I go?
