The tapestry is actually in a long stairway/hallway near-ish the throne room, behind some pots. It's gold-ish and doesn't look like the other tapestries.

I still wonder why there is problem finding that tapestry. Obviously it would not be one of those generic one's you see hanging around.
There is a hint aswell to find which says that it can be found at a "flight of stairs". The area described can only be found in that place you all found in the end :)

Well hidden indeed!

The first time I played I went through in Normal, with no tweaking as I just wanted to see what Ion Storm had delivered to begin with.

As long as I had the required 40%, I wasn't worried how much I had. I was getting around 65% average. After the cradle I checked the stats and had 98% loot! I was amazed. That was without even looking for it.

The cradle was spoilt for me as I'd heard about the level before. Living in England I was to eager to read early reviews. Damn.

EB if you got these already a post would have been nice, but:

Some of the locks get more complex as you go. If you use your mouse to flatten the PICK against the lock, then ROTATE IT CLOCKWISE until you get the Click sound, then move a hair right or left of that point until the lock starts to move well then hit Mouse 1. Try completely around the lock, SLOOOOWWLY.

The locations, using the keyboard, are W-D-A-X and combinations like WA-WD-XA-XD with some odd ones a little to the right of left of the WA-XA etc.

The Shaman's name is WOODBINE. Same place you get the formula for the ritual

Do a search over the Internet and you should get a spoiler guide on the loot and special items' locations throughout the game levels. One caution in Deadly shadows with regards to the "Killing Time" level where you have to sabotage the clock tower maintained by the Hammerites in order to stop time and bring forth the prophecy read by Interpreter Caduca after you handed over the stolen Jackmal's Paw and Builder's Chalice from the Pagans and the Hammerites to the Keepers. Make sure you have purchases a pair of climbing gloves (which is why it is recommended to sneak around town and docks and check out all fences and stores during or before missions) because it is going to be a long way up and down between the upper and lower clock tower. If you have played the game on Expert and you missed the 2 special loot items (which are placed on the upper clock tower, one at pendulum level, need climb gloves to reach, while the other placed under the desk in the room connecting hallways right after you go down the ladder from the pendulum level). Without climbing gloves and missing the 2 special items, you may have to start the game all over again (even from the begining training level) if you have no or only 1 game saves!
