Thanks to both of you.

I suppose it's time to come clean about this mission while the thread is back up here again. I always wanted to do an update, to realize my full original vision without the contest limitations, and also, very importantly, to resolve the aspects of this mission which conflict with Thief canon. Also, while many folks seem to enjoy the mostly greyscale noir atmosphere, (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109046&p=1504613) others did not, so I've considered making an update full colour, or at least muted full colour. But I've never had time to do any of this.

So this year, I tried to make an update in time for Halloween this Friday, but gave up a few weeks ago due to lack of time. I didn't want to rush it or do it half-assed, since I'll only ever update it once.

(...)

Now the only thing left to do is find the time to bring it to life. Death's Cold Embrace is my primary focus and will remain so, but I'll spend a day or two here and there working on What Lies Below v2, and it will be released some day. Maybe Halloween 2010...

Actually it got Halloween 2014 but it´s still great :)

Just one question: how can I achieve one of the bonus objectives (the one with restoration of Hammers)?

@Edit: found the answer for myself, sorry: didn´t know I could use a specific object several times ;)

Actually, the recent release isn't WLB v2, it's just a NewDark update (although I did go full colour). I have a rather different story planned for v2 if I ever do it, but it will take a few months of work so I'm going to try to get to it at some point in the future.

What's with this bonus objective? Didn't find that one, only the 800 loot one. Small hint perhaps?
Thanks

You can't achieve it when ghosting, which is why you didn't come across it.

<strike>Can someone tell me how I get into 'Section 10' or open that damn gate to access the grate controls..?</strike>

Never mind, found the alternative route.

I'm pretty sure you can get this while ghosting because cleansing the book kills the haunts.

I never ghost the first time through a mission. Does it involve killing all the haunts/ghosts? I killed some but not nearly all of them.

:o Tannar is correct.

Klatremus, once you destroy the Necronymus, all the haunts in the crypt will fall down dead, and then try picking up one of them. That should get you thinking.
