Here's a link to a crude hand drawn map of Mission #7 - Thieves' Highway

Not to scale and doesn't claim to be perfectly accurate, but it answers the question of why the game doesn't give you a map.
Needless to say, it's one big spoiler for the mission, so don't look at it unless you're hopelessly stuck.
And Thanks to Adsk1 for a very challenging game so far!

So I made it to the invisible maze I don't see how this is possible, especially with the sticking bug. Sticking bug: Sometimes if a mantle goes wrong, you stick to the floor, you can move around but cannot jump or re mantle. Only way I've found around it is to reload. Shame because I really enjoyed getting to this point and want to finish but I don't think I can get past this. Any suggestions?

The best way to solve the sticking to the floor (skating on ice) bug is to draw an arrow on your quiver then hit Esc to place your arrow back (de-cock?) before you have released it.
This is an ancient T3 bug that Snobel has never found a solution for sadly.
Did you find both sections of the guide book, without it getting through the invisible maze is one serious challenge, if you didn't you can find the solution in the (

@rustmite...
I see you're a ways ahead of me in the Tower. What did you think of the last trap at the Pit Fall level?
Did it take you a while or was it no trouble?

Does anyone have a helpful hint for dealing with the "Shadow" creature in the basement of the Hammerite Chapel?
I haven't gotten very far as this thing is relentless in following me around. The walkthru suggestions have not helped much. I have speed set to 1.4 and that doesn't help much either.
Sadly I'm gonna have to give up if I can't get that booger off my back.

Not sure what you mean by the shadow creature, Palomar9.
But if you mean your 'adversary' in the basement with the artifacts, I found that if you can put a few torches out you can walk carefully around unseen. If not, hide in the lift. The only saving grace in this fm is that enemies give up searching for you quite quickly.
I'm really sorry to say, despite all the work that's obviously gone into this campaign, that it's probably one of the most tedious fms I've ever played.
I completed it as once I started, I had to finish. But I shall never replay it. I found progress was so slow, I could never build any momentum and any enjoyment was lost in the constant restarts necessary.

The grandson and I just finished this FM -- finally -- after nearly 3 months. Thanks Adam, for a very challenging and enjoyable game!
I have to admit, there were several times when we were stumped and were ready to quit, even with fortuni's very helpful walkthru. But we pressed on and were surprised when we miraculously succeeded.
The Thieves' Highway and the Tower of Light were certainly some of the more memorable adventures. The Shadow creature in the foundry nearly finished us off until we figured out how to "lock" him up.
It's actually been an educational experience for the grandson. It has caused him to slow down and think more logically about difficult problems, rather than just flying off in any direction on a whim. And it's given me many opportunities to bond with the kid.
Thanks again!

How can I get the book in 457? It's way too high and I can't reach there. Made several attempts but I didn't succeed.

Guess your talking about Finders Keepers mission, if so there are only 6 shelves in each library, so that means shelf 7 of the reference code means it's the bottom shelf on the upper floor level of library 4.
