Got a bit of an issue with the cemetary:
I defeated the werewolf with the help of the hammerite which wasn't too hard. I just kept slashing away and eventualy he went down. The hardest thing was avoidiing slashing the hammerite and failing that objective.
I then took on the skeleton, who never came out of the grave. After dumoing the body in there, the skeleton just lay there groaning and allowing me to inflict damage. I dispatched him with 5 broadheads straight to his body and the heart & key appread with the objectives ticked off.
I'm having trouble now getting out of the cemetary, and there appears to be a key on the hammerite who is still patrolling (tough guy!), although I can't take this. Any hints?

Do you have any Invisiible Potions left? I usually grab the key when first entering the Cemetery, just walking up behind him and frobbing the key. If he is not aware of you, then you can frob the key. Let him come down from his alert level before frobbing the key. Just wait a couple of minutes, making sure he is not aware of you behind him.
If you dont have any Invisible Potions left then: Try using your water arrows to douse a couple of torches so you are in darkness, then wait for him to patrol close to you so you can frob the key as he walks by. Just make sure he is not aware of you, and frobbing the key off his belt will be no problem! Make sure you wait in a spot allowing him to walk by, and wait just a few patrols when he comes down from the Alert after the fight. A minute or two should do it, if not wait 3 minutes.
As an Alternative to a catch 22 mercy killing for yourself: I dont approve of it because of the sucessfull alternatives listed above, but you can kill Amilion with the Holy Sword and the Mission will not fail. This is totally unnecessary though.
Congratulations, you are the first to report using Amilion as an Ally ! I think in most cases the Player will just watch their ally be killed, as demonstrated in the Video.
@Garretts Shadow, I was thinking on those lines the first time you mentioned HalfLife, as I Am an avid fan also.
I am happy with those Taffers who know they cant Master a Game with one try. If you dont succeed the first time, ... ... .... !

Havin' a great time with this one, but I'm confused. I've accomplished all the main objectives except for:
#4: Find and steal all the incriminating evidence needed to help clear you,
Re: #4 - I've placed 4 books on the shelf outside the door of the High Priest's office but the objective isn't ticking off. I can't pick up any of the books I've already laid down, so I gather those are the correct ones.

I ran into this same problem, must have the earlier revision of this mission, couldn't finish but did everything else, no big...onto the next mission.

Hi rustmite, thanks for playing. Are you playing the Final Revision? If not then you had to read all of the books of evidence in the earlier version. I made it possible to complete the objective without having to read them. I figured that if the player wants to repeat the play, they shouldh't have to read them again. If you can frob them once you laid them down, then yes you can re-place them. All of the required books have "evidence" in it's name in iventory.

Cool dude. I will download the final and give it another shot, not sure if my save games will still work.
darthsLair on 20/2/2011 at 19:58
@rustmite : Go to allsaves, and rename the save.zip to deadtriangle_Final, name it exactly the same as the new version. Should be fine !

Thanks DL!
I just waited for him to calm down. Didn't realise he was still alert as he carried on patrolling! I can recommend using him as an ally! A great thing to have on your side is an enraged hammerite! Congrats on a great FM!

I figured he'd do at least some damage to wolfie and thereby make my job easier! :ebil:
Besides, as a rule, and particulareally as Garrett, I jus don lika those holier than thou nutballz! :p
(they're as bad as any zealots! Blunt instruments are just plain savage and brutal!)
and I love watchin a good fight - I did a speed run to Cutty and put down a few hund gold at 10 to one on wolfie - Cutty's not gonna be happy! :cheeky:

Thankyou Cetus, glad you enjpyed it. You are the Hero in History, as the first to report using Amilion to a Mutual advantage. :thumb:
@Garretts Shadow, Poor Wittle Cutty, always gets the short end of the straw, and never the last leg to stand on !:laff: :laff:

Yeah, It is fun to
Allow Amilion to smack "Bone Head" with that 8 pound Hammer and watch the Bone Chips fly. :ebil: Looks like my little plan of
Rigging Bone Head's heart as a wake up call for Mr. Webster's short nap. I placed a hearbeat sound "Major Anomoloy" to startle this Calcium deficient Evil one into springing out of his sleep. He probably feels like it's better than some Taffer chipping away at him with a Sword to wake him up ! :laff::laff:
