In the lift room, you can shoot a rope arrow two floors and then rope up from there.The first time must've been a glitch, re-loaded an it worked. Was able to finish it.
Truly awesome mission at the right holiday time. Only bugs I had were at the end of wailing keep is the final objective for taking care of Mathieus and get back to camp were both not checked even though they should've.
resurrecting Julia, it should've transitioned to the final scene and only showed a black screen. I did a CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+END to progress.
Again, this was a truly awesome achievement , which was worth-while.

If that happened in the Keep mission, it probably means you were not on NewDark 1.25, or at least did not have squirrel.osm in your Thief2 folder. If your Thief2 happens to be from GoG.com then that's a recently known problem (they don't put squirrel.osm in the root folder for some reason, which makes no sense).

Just out of curiosity, are the little guys infinite in number/regenerate?
Yandros on 5/12/2017 at 02:24
No, there are just a lot of them, especially on Expert.

I liked the missions that "guide" the players into being stealthy, instead of Rambo ...

I'm having a lot of trouble with this mission. I can't open the portcullis' and I assume it has something to do with the braziers in the towers? I found the notes on the dead explorer but I can't read the cursive writing! It said something about bringing the "urdzone(??)" for the braziers to open the portcullis' . . . so what is that word and where can I find it? I assume it's on one of thedead explorers somewhere, but I've walked all around the perimeter and can't find anything.
Also, the holy staff doesn't work, so I guess I have to update to 1.25 . . .:nono:
The only link for it that I found in this thread, I wasn't able to download it---my antivirus program detected it as a threat. Is there another way to download it?

There is a
lone survivor hiding in one of these ruined barracks inside the fort . Did you already found her? She will hand you over a
staff for lighting the four braziers in each tower. After this is done you can proceed :)
The holy staff works like your sword and fires magical beams. If it doesn't work, there might be a scripting issue. In this case you have to do an update. You may have to uninstall this FM, for installing it again. Luckily, FMSel allows to backup your save files :/
Please don't give up, this level will develop into an amazing climax - you can do it! :thumb:

Hmm. . I didn't find anyone alive. I guess I'll have to check again.
As for the scripting issue. . . are there any links to a download (that is free of viruses) that can update it? Also, what are the steps for backing up saved files in FMsel?

The mission will probably not end properly if you don't update to 1.25, which was in big red letters in the readme and the announce thread. :D
The NewDark release thread is here: (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146448)
It's also in the Important Links thread stickied in this forum for future reference. If the link in that thread gives you a virus detection, then it is a false positive. It may be easier to use Tafferpatcher to update, though, unless you know what you're doing.
Once you have updated, you should be able to just load your old save. Then you need to look for
Clara on the second floor of a building to the left from the main entrance, near where the fire boss patrols.

Ah, I ignored those because I figured I already had 1.25 . . .clearly not. These things update too fast for me to keep up. :sweat:
Well, I'll download it and see if I can get it to work. Thanks!
