lizanneh - [SPOILER]The chief Architect is in the Barracks, sound asleep. Go upstairs and down to the fancy door at the end of the hallway. He's in there, on the bed. The key is really hard to see, as it's partially tucked under him on the side towards the wall. You can also smash open the hatch in the attic floor and drop down through there. I did it that way the first time through. :)[/SPOILER]

I got into the architect's office through the trap door too, but had a bit of a time getting out. Just before I jumped down I thought, "Gee, maybe I should toss a box or two down there just in case." But I didn't think belboz would make a room that's impossible to get out of like that. :p Oh, I did eventually get out by stacking some bottles on the desk, but a spare key inside the office would've been nice.
Speaking of keys, how do you go about making the cell 1-4 key? I got the plans and when I run it through the signature machine in the office, it buzzes and the red light flashes. Then I put that on the machine downstairs and the same thing, but nothing happens. The directions say something about a stamp and a second signature but I can't see where to do any of that.
Other than being confused by the map a few times. (Pretty nifty how you show multiple floors in the same space) And falling down the chimney without any rope arrow... 'twas a pretty fun mission.

You have rope arrows when you start on every difficulty setting. To get out of the Architect's office, just shoot a rope arrrow into the edge of the hole that you jumped down through and climb out. It's very easy.
How to make the cell key - [SPOILER]Once you have the Keymaker's Form, take it to the Stamping Machine in the General Office. Put the form on the plate at the top end and a new form appears at the bottom end. Pick it up and go to the Workshop where you'll find the "Item Making Device". "Use" the completed form on the side slot and a door opens to reveal the key for cells 1-4.[/SPOILER]

Wow, so many places to explore and so many that take extra searching to find an entrance. We have found a way into most places but one has us stumped. To the east of the forge is a storeroom. On the map it shows an additional area that we can't seem to find a way into. There is a door in the wall that doesn't highlight. There is a window high in the wall to the east of the engine but we can't seem to get up to it. Is this the way into that unexplored section? If so how do you get there. Also in one of the offices there was a scroll that listed allo kinds of equipment in a storage room. Is it in this place?

Unbelievable!!!!!! Several people have praised the spiders and I agree they were really great, especially the "servant spider". But the part that really blew me away was the room with the hoard of zombies. I couldn't avoid them and accidentally ran back up the stairs in front of a couple, planning to shoot them from there. I don't know how to make a blue field for a spoiler so I won't say any more but if you haven't tried that, DO!!! It's a gas!!!!

I didn't realize you didn't know how to use the spoiler cover, Lynx67. When you are typing your answer and you want to hide something, look just above where you type and you'll see a row of little rectangles that say: (
http://,) @, IMG, etc. the last one is "Spoiler". Just click on it and a little text box pops up in the upper left hand corner. Type the words you want hidden in there, when you're done, click OK and they'll appear in your post covered by the blue field. You can also just type {SPOILER} then the text, then {/SPOILER} (use [ and ] instead of the other brackets to make it work) and the text in between the two will be hidden by blue.

OK, Nightwalker, I'm trying this out.[SPOILER]As the zombies followed us out and neared the big hammer they exploded all over the place. We had to clean up body parts so we could go back, wake up a few more, tease them into following us back past the nammer. We got rid of all the zombies without using a single holy water. Cute![/SPOILER]
Now we need some more help. We have been swimming for what seems like hours and can't find where to put the water key. We picked it up in the place with the big blue disk on the wall, tried to put it on the silver plate in the corner but it didn't do anything. HELP!
Lynx67 on 3/5/2002 at 23:16
Addendum to my last question. We finally found the Grotto, did the ritual and got another star. We went back to I. Jones and got the tri-water key. I thought we had it made but we still can't go anywhere new. Neither of the water keys we have work in the room with the big blue disk on the wall or on the gate in the spider room. H-E-L-P!!!!!
Nightwalker on 4/5/2002 at 01:15
The "water key" should work on the pedestal in the corner of the room where you found it. Are you "using" it, just like you would a regular key on a door?? When you use it [SPOILER]the wall opens up and allows you to go through into the dining room.[/SPOILER]
The tri-key that I. Jones gives you [SPOILER]you use on the pedestal beside the locked gate in the Old Miner's Village (which is where you are when you find I. Jones). Again, you "use" it on the plate on top of the pedestal, like a key or lockpick. [/SPOILER]

Thanks Nightwalker, That was the answer but what happened to the great ending other people mentioned? We used the tri-water key and found it led to a room we had already gotten to early in the mission by another route and then when we used the other water key the mission ended as soon as we went through the gate. I guess we'll have to play it again on the expert level in order to see the big climax. Whatever, I would certainly recimmend this TM to everone. It was fantastic!!!
