Anxious to see what you come up with next Unna.

Something stupid I fear so. :cheeky: Next year.
Thanks a lot.

OK. I've read every post at least twice. I've also spent a long while peering at the mission in Dromed.

I placed the correct item to cross the beams above the "evil red smoke." (Broken pew) There's a large boulder on the beam blocking me from entering the next room. Apparently, I need the Holy Hammer to break the boulder. However, the hammer is in the Hammerite library, which can only be accessed once the boulder is broken. I can see no other way into the library.

No, you don't need the holy hammer. (It's not holy, anyway). There's a hammer next to a sarcophagus. Close to the broken pew

Got it. Thanks. Now for another...

The red gear recessed into the west wall has a fire stim marker. The flares don't seem to work, even though the parameters are set to their lowest setting. Haven't seen any fire arrows in this mission.

So you looked in DromEd and didn't see the fire arrows :D
It depends on the difficulty setting. If your'e on expert you need to get the fire arrow from the "green" room with the big spider. There's a fire arrow in a secret compartment.

Well, slap me silly! :p

Playing on Expert. I jumped down into the large hole in the spider cave. At one end of this area is a large metal gate with two large boards blocking it. This appears to be the only way forward since there is no way back up into the spider cave. Problem is, the boards have a high hit point and me without a sword!

You actually can get back up into the Spider Cave with some clever mantling, but that's not the way you want to go. There is an item not far from the barred doors you can use to get through them.

Hint: Think vertically.

Face the wicked doors, turn around, look up. Climb and frob a rock.

Ricebug on 3/11/2016 at 00:05

Yep. Got the rock. Now I see that there are 4 rats to kill in order to get one of the secrets. However, they move at a high rate of speed. I did manage to shoot one with a broadhead but it didn't kill it. It's frozen in place and wiggling, but nothing affects it. There's a toxic/stench stim assigned to the rat, but am unable to find anything in the area meeting that requirement.
