Where is the secret? I noticed a dewdrop.
I can't cope with the guards near teleporter. I have too few water arrows. There are too many of them to KO them all.

@HauntHunter: you need
to find and do some things elsewhere to get in that temple.
Well I found the
stone of RA and placed it in the
place it belongs in the first temple.Then I went in the
room it opens in the first temple, picked up 3 water arrows, but they don't put out that fire.So where do I find the
stone of Nut?And I swam around in the pool by the crayman and came up empty.Also
found a campfire near the 2nd temple with something buried nearby by a table, but no way to dig it up. The shovel nearby doesn't highlight to pick up.Dahenjo on 24/8/2017 at 00:30
@HauntHunter:
You're supposed to 'charge' then take the arrows (fire & water types) with you.
Locations for crystals vary by difficulty, on normal Nut's is back in Ammon's area.
There's nothing buried there, should be a chest to pick... be sure not to use enhancement packs (see readme).

@Vera - the secret is on the path to the pyramid temple, look for a whitish colored patch then use a fire arrow. If you're playing expert get them to chase you while selecting the hourglass then run by portal and place it, then use same tactic to run by again to frob the switch, then jump in the vortex. On lower difficulties you can KO the fewer guards there and you have more water arrows to douse more of the torches.

No enhancement packs loaded. I'm frustrated and clueless. Just spoil me.

HH: Look in water behind Ammon's tent, you need to be fairly close for it to highlight.

I have been really enjoying this mission.
Then I found the hourglass.
Then this incredibly annoying music begins, and it won't stop!
I mean, I really detest this loud music. It is extremely distracting, and the only way to stop it is to play with the volume all the way down.
I don't have all the scarabs, the secret, or the gem for the pagans, and I have no incentive to look as long as this music is going.
Please make it stop!!
edit: OK. I reloaded from an earlier save and avoided the hourglass until the very end. The music is still annoying, though.
Dewdrop. Heh heh. Well played.

Hello. Playing on Average and can't find the gems.
In the four-statue area have checked all NPC and statue hands but can find no gem. In the area I am guessing is the Pagan's camp with the chest, there is no Pagan and no gem that I can see. Checked the pool behind the tent and near the Crays but can't find anything. Since I cannot see very well underwater in Thief games it is possible that they might be there, and despite spending some time in the pools spamming right-click I nevertheless missed them. If they are there it would be great if there was some direction, as in "near to the W side" or something.
Can anyone help?
P.S. Like the title music.

Do you mean the crystals of Ra and Nut? I believe on that difficulty Nut's is in the pond behind Ammon's tent (it should highlight fairly obviously without you being underwater if you're near it), and Ra's is on the right side a short ways out on the path with the Crays but before you get to them or the dead guard (it blends in well with the background and is at about waist height).

Thank you very much, have now found the tent-pool crystal. For those who have difficulty seeing under or through water in Thief, go behind the tent to where the sand makes a sharp edge pointing NW. That edge is almost like an arrow pointing to the crystal, which is only a few short steps into the water from it.
Also found the other one on the right hand side, very near a torch in fact, just to the left of it. Thanks again Dahenjo.
