Dafydd - Did you go out and have a look on the rooftops above the central flooded courtyard area?
Dafydd on 2/10/2006 at 14:11
Thanks, NW, that's got it!

I found 3 out of 4 secrets, and I'm missing about 200 loot - connected?
does it have something to do with the red lever?
I originally thought the glowing stones were to power the alphabet puzzle, so I didn't even try jumping in them once they were active!

I really liked the moist, swampy, squishy, and creepy feel of this mission. It almost made me feel as though things were crawling on me.... or, maybe things actually were .... oh, well.
I think the author hit the perfect level of difficulty with the puzzles (alphabet lock, water gem, barrier removal, etc). They weren't blatantly obvious nor painfully complicated to reason out.
The conversation and the board creaking were very nice touches, too!
Great work, author! :thumb:

Replayed this one recently and bumping the thread for support.
Nice piece of work. Very atmospheric (with the submerged setting and custom sound effects), good briefing and supporting texts (;) to the laundry list), and some special effects that make up for some surprises. That underwater sight gem is a nice touch.
A pity that the conversations were too unclear to understand what's being said, and that the jungle sounds are a bit too loud. Luckily this stops when entering the complex.
All hidden objectives completed, all secrets found, 100 short in loot.
:thumb: for a quality mission, but I expected nothing less from the author.
Beautiful entry for a very succesful contest.

Now that I see this thread again, being bumped just recently, I see that I forgot something...
:thumb: Thank you to the author. I thoroughly enjoyed this mission when playing it, around the same time last year. Great "swampy" feeling, and then this laundry list...:cheeky:

What to do with the puzzle on the first floor? Is it a kind of code in the letter that I've taken from the thug?

Thank you!:D

I'm replaying this great FM. My problem is that when I try and frob the blue underwater transparency crystal nothing happens. I've tried below the water and above. Nada.
All other missions play perfectly and if I remember correctly when I played this one when it first came out it worked correctly. Wonder what's different with my setup?
