Thanks for releasing this little and great mission. I had a lot of fun playing this. I especially liked how well the atmosphere was created in this little city. The torn-down and somehow dirty city passages just gave me the original Thief vibe. I liked the
mazey mine section and the
haunted house deep down in the earth. These
living statues were really nasty.

Nothing to add from my side. This mission was truly an excellent cut gem.

Was there any specific usage for the
Explosive Device?
I tried to use it all over the place, and the only thing I blew up was myself, so I don't think so.

i was told no use for fire arrows or explosive charge
but my idea was if they update mission ever to have us use the 6 fire arrows on last rooms torches above the 6 tomb torches then have a door open where you use explosive charge to get into a easter egg room

You ever play a mission where you load it up, and merely seconds into it you already know it it's gonna be a treat? This is one of them

Found some more loot:
- Necklace and goblet in grassy cave above canal. I actually found these the first time through, but reloaded and just forgot to go back.
Questions:
1. I found an 'X' on what looks like a board panel in a small grassy roof area in the city. It has 2 trees in it and some plants. It looked like something is hidden behind but I can't find a button for it.
2. Not too far from #1 I found a wooden shutter you can open with a fly swarm and big statue behind. Then right next door a partly bricked in room with some more statue behind, and what looks like a corridor that goes over towards the other statue behind the shutter, but I can't be sure. Any way to get in there?

The answer to both: there's no way in there or any hiding loot, it's just decoration around the very edge of the map meant to make it feel bigger.

Finished this yesterday on Normal mode with 2602 out of 3425 loot in 3 hr 44 min 43 seconds. What an amazing experience! Most of the time i spent admiring the old and beautiful architecture which was also incredible creative. Everything about this mission is great, the visuals, the atmosphere, the exploration is so rewarding. Great use of space. The mission feels very big with a lot of places to explore, tavern, streets, merchants manor, sewers, factory, mines, underground water and fire temples, the tomb etc. Incredible quality in everything, lots of details everywhere. This was done in the spirit of the original Thief Gold missions, it captures so well the old dark thief feel. Great job Schlock! This is my favourite entry in this contest until now, 10/10 rating from me for this one.

Thanks.
Found another piece of loot in the haunted manor, a nugget on another beam towards the north. That brings me 100 loot short. I have a sneaky feeling that could be the one that disappeared, however I also suspect the one you're saying has a bug is the patrolling gold skull-mist thingy in the haunted manor. If so, I did get that. I found 2 rings in total, one in a chest and one in the garden you teleport into from the pit. Just saying that as rings are usually worth 100.

Just finished the main quest, what a masterpiece, the ambience, architecture, everything.
Still missing like 1300 loot, how??? lol :confused:

@klatremus You're correct about the piece of loot I was talking about with the bug. It's the only piece I've ever observed disappearing, and it's the only one that would disappear due to its unique traits. So it seems the bug was truly fixed, and that you're just going to have to keep on looking for that last 100 :angel:
