Thanks, Tannar. I'll give that a try.

You're welcome. I hope it works.

I have a question. What are those big bulbs hanging from the tree? They look like they have sailboats inside them. Is that related to the boat summoned by the fog horn? If so, when are you supposed to see them "hatched", or are you? When I reached the top of the tower with the horn, the mission just ended before I could use the horn.

Also, the paratroopers were cool! And it appears that I have joined the "club", though I suspect I've been a member for many years already. :cheeky:

The big bulbs definitely have ships in them. I turned off fogging for a bit to try to figure out where the lighthouse was and you can see them quite clearly then.

This was an AWESOME mission! Much bigger and more involved than I dreamed it would be when I started. I plan to go back and play it again on Expert at some point but I don't have time right now. :thumb:

I have been struggling with this mission. I dispatched with Rengald. The only objectives left are get the goblet and get out. Where is the goblet or which direction should I go. I can make it back to the city using an elevator. Where exactly do I find the goblet?

You need to check the center of the circle where the pagans were conducting the ceremony. I missed seeing it too because I was concentrating on Rengald.

I can't use the holy water on Reginald. What am I suppose to do with him? Is there any other way to kill him?

I forgot I had to use it in the waterswirl. Sorry.

:angel:

In the caves where I dispatched two creatures. There is a large opening in the ceiling but my vine arrows don't work and I cannot jump up. Am I supposed to get up there?

I can't find the holy water And that Rengald is a real pest with his teleporting abilities ;)

Inky....the Holy Water Vial is in the locked cell, under the body of the captain......you need to frob the Cell key off patrolling man in black the tomb area and the cell is at the bottom of the corridor approx SW of where you first entered the pagan area from the elevator

bobber.....which cave are you talking about ? if your talking about the cave where you use the holy water , you need to backtrack to Mathild's lair, but its a bit of a maze down there

If any other cave.....can you supply a screenshot

There's a strange bug in this mission, where you cannot drop "junk" items once you pick them up. Re-loading from a previous save seems to be the only fix. Once you re-load you can drop those same items. The bug repeats, however, if you keep picking up new stuff, adding them to your player links listing. Most annoying.

I looked inside the editor and found that every time I picked up a junk item, the player became a firer for that object. Manually deleting them is the only way to fix. The suspect objects in the gamesys file are normal. They are indeed listed as junk. Can't drop this is not flagged.

Also, the mission did not seem to be fully optimized. I re-optimized, increasing the miss18.mis from 55 to 69.8 MB.
