Thanks a bunch for the quick response. We haven't found the wall with the whispering sounds but now that we have the pesky alarms off we are going around checking every room. [SPOILER]Did you find the loot in the secret panel in the hall that is opened by placing a weight on the pedestal in the room by the 3 cloak hangers and the bug men that fall down from the ceiling if you hit the wrong hanger?[/SPOILER] I hope we made that clear. There are so many traps and frustrating areas, locked doors, no keys and super sensitive guards that this is a true challenge. There is one balcony on the back of the mansion that we can't find a way to get to. Got any suggestions? We are still about 2000 short of required loot. How did you find so much, and where? A loot list would be much appreciated.

Lynx67: [SPOILER] Yep, i found this. The wall, im talking about is near the kitchen. I´m short 2000, too. A lot of loot is in the gambling room. Getting the key is tricky, because of a lot of swordsmen nearby ;). No, i found no way to that balcony, though i tried with slow-fall-potion etc.
Oh no, i´ve tried fire-arrows on that wall earlier, but nothing happened. [/SPOILER]

I got onto that balcony by going to the middle balcony, the highest balcony. Climbed up onto the rails and jumped across. To my surprise there's nothing beyond the doors, it's just solid.

And for those wondering how to open it Use fire arrows - be careful though, you get a big explosion as well so stand back

i had fun testing this for gort, there are bonus obj(no i not goin to tell what they are you gotta find them, also i hope not too see posting bout them till after you find as much as possible) as for loot all can be found( look high/low, try using things, switches), secrets all can be found, thought he fixed the secret stats, yes it is defintely a mission with serious twists of fate, puzzles that stump, traps galore. although something i forgot to get added was a sandbag, coulda used one. read everything for clues, and story. anyways thats enough insight for now. dont wanna ruin the fun of you finding things, yes we diliberated bout the safe code i think all of us had quirks with it, but hey. anyways i outta for now, happy taffing, p.s. for those ghosting your gonna have the toughest challenge of your life, unfortunately a pure ghost is not gonna work a couple areas are impossible, cause you will have to BJ more then 4 AI. later might release a loot through.

lynx: [SPOILER]that wall by kitchen try the upper left side near the camera, usually works in first shot, if not more slightly right a bit, [/SPOILER]

Well , I'm about done with this one for now . I'm assuming my missing loot is behind some door I don't have a key for or behind a hidden pannel .

Nevermind! I found it as soon as i posted. :)

Need some more help!!

[SPOILER]Has anyone found a way into the catacombs? There is a metal door (part of the bookcase) in the ghost library under the ledge where the lady ghost patrols, but i can't find any way to open it. I did find the holy water but i only have 5 water arrows left, not enough to kill 2 ghosts. [/SPOILER]

Thanks

I took out everyone in the basement and when I went to hide the bodies one of their swords was stuck in my hands.right by the 2 levers ...has anyone else had this problem? Also in Konkurrenten there was a few chests ware I was stuck with a sandbag looking thing..I couldnt let go. Am I missing a script? I could almost swareI have grayslayers scripts . Is this a new thing in fan missions..I hope not..it is very annoying.
On another note whats with the projectile shooting swords. I want one or I am not gonna like this mission much.
I am trying a thief drinking game..every time I reload a quicksave I take a few slams of beer. I dont think I will make it through the mission tonite.He he.

dreamer [SPOILER]what are bookcases full of? Look for one nearby[/SPOILER]

There's nothing wrong with your scripts. The body you got the sword from belonged to a miner, a civilian. The sword was attached to him in similar fashion to the way an arrow is attached to a bowman's quiver and therefore pickable when you first picked up the miner's body.
