No, I did that already, and got through the door that opened. But then there is another door protecting the 2nd skull. There are two fires on altars in that room, but when I put those out nothing happens.

Well, don't remember that part clearly, but there seems to be pressure plate, which you need put something on.

I already feared it was a pressure plate, because that means it's not working for me. :erg:

Well, it's the only thing left to do, so I consider this mission finished. Thanks for your help!

There are more than 2 questions I have, but if these 2 can be answered, I'll be happy.

1. Where Chahriyar is found...if you carry on in the dark tunnel, past a few more spiders, you come to this small "room" (ground lit by a few mushrooms) with a sloping wall. It appears to be a dead end, except where the sloping wall meets the ceiling there's a vertical passage way way up to somewhere. You can rope arrow to the ceiling, but can't access this vent. My guess is that you're supposed to find your way here from the other direction. That is, jump down the vent and slide down the slope to arrive in this room. So....how do you find your way to that spot in the mission?

2. Not too far into the mission, you come upon a large room with a rectangular pool. There are 6 fat pillars very close together west of the pool and 2 pillars with a coffin between them on the east side of the pool. If you look up to the ceiling over the pool, you'll see some wooden planks. They look in pretty rough shape and rope arrows won't penetrate them. Again, it looks like you're supposed to find your way up there, then crash through INTO the pool. There is no way of getting up there from the ground. How do you get up there?

I know I'm asking a lot, particularly from a Thief 1 mission over 10-12 years old, but the walkthrough is no longer available and what the hell, maybe advertizing this mission will prompt people to want to play it again.

Cheers!

Hmm, sad that the walkthrough link is broken. At least some of it survives on the wayback machine, though. Take a look at (http://web.archive.org/web/20021015074553/http://www.geocities.com/chiappa2/TuttocombTipsChoose.html)

I'll try and salvage what I can and throw it up on thiefmissions in place of the broken link that's there now.

Edit: the important parts of what I could get are at (http://thiefmissions.com/walkthroughs/TuttocombsTomb.html)

Here, have a look at my walkthrough, i'm sure it can help you :cool:

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0jk0u62bEw&list=PL652F16FAC0BBE5A0&index=14&feature=plpp_video)

1. You can find a tunnel at the start of the temple section, wich lead you here

2. Same as the above, but at a different place if I remenber correctly :p

- those places are hidden, you have to fumble in the dark a little to find them; But again, look at my videos

let me take some opportunities questions here; does anyone know if sperry still work on his missions ? I really liked every FM he made and i'm eager to play brainchild 2 or the shadow of doubt remake :erg:

Thanks Epithumia. I've never used the wayback machine. Sounds like a great concept for really old fan missions.

I must say, I NEVER thought of looking in YouTube for a video walkthrough on such an old fan mission. Thanks for the link, and a real BIG thanks for taking the time to do this.

I don't know about others, but I carried a guard around after I BJ'd him and used his lantern to light the way. It wasn't perfect, but it helped. I guess even with that miniscule bit of lighting, I missed the detour that takes me to those places.

Marvellous...that one crouch tunnel answered BOTH my questions ! Thanks for the video Squadarofl. I don't think anyone could have adequeately written how to find it.

Now to go through the walkthrough Epithumia linked for me and find some other answers.

Finished on Easy with 5221 of 5321 total loot. The stats screen said 54 minutes, but I needed additional time to look up hints for the location of the horn. There is one area where the Horn of Quintus melody from Down in the Bonehoard plays. I spent around 10 minutes looking for hidden switches, only to later find out that is not where the artifact is located. I think this part of the mission is misleading.

I found the first and third golden skull without specifically looking for them. Finding the second one relies on players noticing the quiver on the belt of a grave robber patrolling the lower floor of a large hall AND shooting a water arrow at the fire in the column of the same hall. I did not find a readable hinting at this.

I liked the journal entry of the one grave robber yearning to see sunlight again. It added a bit of mood to the mission. There was another paragraph of text about the lack of undead in the tomb. This made stumbling upon the cave filled with undead even better. Also, I appreciate the use of ambient music. This might be the first Thief fan mission which does that really well.
