Comments:

This mission had no challenges in terms of ghosting. Just standard sneaking all the way through. The mummies couldn’t be killed, so they were designed to be snuck around anyway. Only four enemies in total, where one spawned after getting the gear. That one was the trickiest to pass, but its patrol route went far enough away from the door to the priest’s room to avoid hearing the door open and close. A nice mission with excellent atmosphere. I will try out Skejven’s other creations one day.

I think it's reasonably manageable to obtain the rope by climbing the wooden beam and then jumping to the roof to the side and sliding off without taking damage. I did this quite a few times. But maybe I was lucky each time!

Thanks guys, I tried both your suggestions, but I could not made them myself (not suprinsingly, I'm generally clumsy).

But I finally realized the obvious solution (d'oh...) - I updated my post above...

Comments:
A classic, high quality, plot driven mission from one of the best authors this community has ever seen. The keyhunt aspect and forced damage might turn some players off, but the story, character development and rock solid design should make this a must play for most. Over 20 years past its original release, Rowena’s Curse has aged better than other missions from this era, though it does suffer from elements of backtracking and frustrating gameplay elements. Yes, it does showcase the typical mansion-with-a-dark-secret-below scenario, but then again, it was one of the first missions to implement it.

I was tasked with investigating the disappearance of Lord Carlysle’s daughter Isabella. I had to find information from Barker, the catetaker, as well as Isabella’s own diary. If she was alive, I had to bring her out through the front gates. I also had to pick up 8,000 in loot, which was over 88% of the total amount. Quite high, even for expert difficulty.

I knew this mission was unghostable from the get-go. But I also knew the busts were tied to required kill objectives, so I was determined to try to eliminate as many other busts as possible. Busts forced by design are a lot easier to accept than those forced by gameplay, as there sometimes are creative ways around them. Therein lies at least half the fun of ghosting.

Entering the Grounds
The crate breaking at the start wasn’t a bust. It was actually just a sound cue of wood breaking. I was met with instant Supreme busts in the basement, however. First I took two comments when picking the lock on the door. If all three guards were within close proximity, they usually triggered off each other and second alerted, so I avoided this. Then I had to nudge the stationary guard a foot or so towards the left in order to pass by (image below). This was allowed as a last resort for regular Ghost. The storage room had a piece of loot that I had to skip for Supreme. I could circle the room clockwise with no alerts, but the closest spider heard the lockpicks on the footlocker.

Impossible to pass through the front yard, so I was forced via the mess hall to get to the mansion. The guard in there heard the doors, so I waited in the corner and used the maid to block open the door ((https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image002.jpg) see image). Had to have her close it too on the way out.

Getting the loot in the kitchen for Supreme was the first real challenge. Four pieces of loot, all at the northern end of the room. There were three entrances, but only the southern one was viable for Supreme. The guard in here had two facing angles; north and east. He pivoted quite frequently, but could stay a few cycles in either direction. The maid visited the kitchen along her route, so I could use that to enter the room unheard, though it was more difficult than in the mess hall. In fact, I couldn’t touch the door at all, but had to follow close by the maid and sneak in quickly behind her back. There was also the cook, facing west over by the stove. As the maid left, I needed the guard to face east. He had to stay that direction until I reached the patch of shade at the other end of the table (images below). Easier said than done. My biggest issue was getting between the corner of the table and the nearest chair. There was room, but not without pushing at an angle against it. I could stand up and run to get through faster, but then the cook gave a comment. This was tedious to figure out, but after a lot of reloading, it was done. I could now move a bit further north before hitting the lights, and from here I could grab the loot items in cycles, all while the guard faced east. Getting back across the table took a similar method, albeit with a bit more save scumming.

Had to skip the loot in Lisette’s room for Supreme. I couldn’t get to the opposite corner without turning off the lights. For regular Ghost it was no problem. Took the secret wardrobe exit in the cook’s room to the basement, then used this to get to the inner courtyard for now.

Main Mansion
Lots of patrollers in the main halls, plus glass doors. Carefully looted the sitting room and dining hall. Then went to Wilson’s room to get the white room key. Upstairs was easy to ghost in comparison. Cleaned the white, yellow and blue rooms, before heading to the chapel. Took the red room key and left. Couldn’t get the candlesticks in the chapel yet, but I had an idea for later. Also took the purses from the front foyer guards at this time. Had to skip the purse in the reading nook just east of the front entrance for Supreme. The closest guard commented and there was no other way in there.

I was surprised I could open the red room door without Lucrethia commenting. I could grab everything in there by maneuvering around her pivots. I needed her garden key to proceed, but I couldn’t use the secret chute for Supreme. A stationary guard heard the stone panel slide open (image below). There were two other ways into the north gardens. One was through some pickable grates behind the basement furnace. I don’t like to pick locks unnecessarily, so I instead used the western door in the basement close to the wine cellar.

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image005.jpg

Garden
The northwest barracks couldn’t be entered for Supreme, so I had to skip the loot in there. That made it 365 so far. The stationary guard heard the door, and quite frankly it would’ve been weird if he hadn’t. To get to the accident location, I had to climb the outer walls of the property. I used the door and the hedge just northeast of the barracks (image below). I doubt that move is possible without NewMantle.

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image006.jpg

I circumnavigated the ground all the way to east of the chapel. I dropped here to get the three pieces of loot by the pivoting guard outside the chapel doors. He didn’t hear the secret under the staircase open, which surprised me a bit. Climbed the hedge in the same fashion as before to get back onto the walls. Dropped into the accident area from the northern wall next; that way I didn’t have to pick open the door.

All I did underground for now was to get two pieces of loot and head to Rowena’s room. The Holy Sword ordeal would have to wait till later. The falling rocks was not a trap, but merely a cave-in and a script to force me in one direction.

The Well Room
After Rowena’s room I cleaned the library. No issues there. Got the well room key, which required me to find a way to blow open the barricade to that door in the dungeon. The only way I knew to do that was by using the explosive barrel in the armory by the northwest barracks. I fetched it from the basement entrance like the before. The best way I found to get into the dungeon without nudging was via the door in the southeast yard. I found that I could drop from the first floor east balcony without taking damage or getting spotted ((https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image007.jpg) see image). I had to inch myself over the edge ever so slowly to avoid a comment from the stationary guard. There were patrollers in this yard also, but their route was across to the south. I had to be very quiet when placing the barrel, and if the guards heard it, they usually second level alerted.

From the inside hallway, I could now get one of the candlesticks from the chapel by leaning from the doorway. I had to block the door as the archer came out of the chapel; frobbing it made noise, just like the kitchen door. Instead of closing it, I left it almost shut, enough for the archer to have to open it and then shut it. Fully closing it would have triggered a comment from the inside sentry.

Down in the dungeon the problems arose. A stationary and a patrolling guard, and three torches. I could get the loot items with no busts easily enough. I could not, however, place the barrel by the bricked door without a second level alert from the patroller. I tried many many times with no success. I was thus forced to use a moss arrow. Additionally, I had to nudge the stationary guard in behind the corner at the bottom of the ramp (image below). Otherwise, the explosion would kill him and that would fail the no-kill objective. In order to do that, I had to douse both torches in this room. If I doused only one, they both first alerted, but the patroller would see it put out and comment again, setting off the stationary guard to hunt mode. If both were out, he couldn’t see the torch doused and didn’t give the latter remark. Silly, but that’s how it works. I used a flare to blow up the barrel, as a fire arrow made even more noise. Both guards naturally second level alerted, which was the first inevitable Ghost bust. Several of the guards in the front yard also heard it and alerted. The barrel had to be pushed far into the alcove, otherwise the fireballs relit the closest torch.

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image008.jpg

In the sacristy, I couldn’t get the ring from the chest for Supreme. Surprisingly, the stationary guard in the chapel heard it, even with the door closed. Similarly, I couldn’t take the candlestick from this side of the altar for Supreme. Closing the door afterwards yielded another comment. That was 615 skipped so far for that mode. I was well over halfway there. I realized I couldn’t leave the sacristy without getting fully spotted, but the way back was blocked by a gate that closed once inside the well room. I reloaded and blocked the gate with the scroll from the yellow room (image below). This was silent and easy to return. To get back into the mansion, I used the door to the small courtyard west of the chapel. I did take another first alert from the pivoting guard.

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image009.jpg

Elemental Rooms
I ended up not taking any of the elemental keys. It was unnecessary and would incur more busts for Supreme. The only one that had loot along the way was the water section below the blue room. It had six gems in two different caves. Skipping all six would push me below the loot requirement, so I had to figure out something. A stationary green spider at the southern end of the cave guarded the entrance to the flooded section. I could get quite close with no alerts (image below). However, I did not find a way past without a first alert chirp. It was awkward, as the rock sloped in and down, so although I could lean through without getting spotted, in order to get Garrett’s body through, I had to move too far east. I thus took one alert going in and another one going out.

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image010.jpg

The other three gems at the northern end of the first cave was a real challenge to get for regular Ghost. I could pass the first two spiders quite easily, as they were facing the wall. However, rounding the second one got me in view of the yellow and green spiders at the far eastern end, where the gems were located. I found a method where I rushed around its back and came to a quick halt in the shade with only first alerts. I still couldn’t reach any of the gems though. Instead I found I could use the scouting orb from the mess hall to nudge the small spider away. It was quite difficult to find the right spot to place it, but one nudge pushed it a few feet up the slope. This was enough for me to reach the first gem. I had to nudge it a second time like this to get the rest. This time it scooted much farther, all the way over to the innermost gem (image below).

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image011.jpg

Headed all the way back to the tombs via Rowena’s room. I frobbed the skull on the wall and got to the puzzle room. It wasn’t too hard to figure out. Used the rock to keep the pressure plate down. Two levers had to be flipped to enter the Holy Sword cave. I hadn’t taken any of the elemental keys because the sword could quite easily be taken through the gate. I just leaned forward instantly when running into it, then jumped and grabbed it ((https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image012.jpg) see image). Used the scroll again to block the sliding boulders in order to close up the passageway when leaving.

Ghost Slaying
In order to proceed, I had to take Rowena’s locker key and read the diary there. This triggered a new objective to kill Cedric’s ghost, but in order for this ghost to spawn, I first had to slay Duncan’s apparition in the cemetery. Since this wasn’t explicitly stated in the objective, it counted as another Ghost bust. In order not to detect him before the kill, I blackjacked him and brought him in behind one of the crypts. Strange that he could be knocked out, but oh well. In order to enter the cemetery, I mantled a torch south of the mess hall and used the walls to get there (image below). I had to go slow to avoid getting spotted by guards.

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image013.jpg

In order to kill Cedric outside Gate to Hell, I had to use one overheard swing. It was excused as per the objective, but I couldn’t alert him in the process. For Supreme I also had to avoid using a moss arrow or dousing any torches. I positioned myself just behind the corner of the sloping cave ((https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image014.jpg) see image). Here I could draw my sword without any comments. I loaded my overhead before he came to the end of his route closest to me. When he turned, I waited a second or so, then ran out and did an angled jump, letting go of the attack button in the air. If timed correctly, the sword would hit him before I hit the ground, thus avoiding the alert. I found a predictable method in the end. This counted as 30 damage dealt and 1 back stab.

Gate to Hell
Got caught by the first demon on the right. He didn’t pivot like all the other stationary ones, and as soon as I rounded the corner, it gave a howl. I was able to descend the other levels without any first alerts, by taking it slow and timing the patrols. One room on the bottom level had the main gates to Rowena’s lair, guarded by two more demons. Couldn’t get in that way without busts. There were also four cages with zombies and loot. I could lean in and get three of them for Supreme, but the southwestern one was different. It wouldn’t highlight unless I opened the cage, which the zombie first alerted to (image below). Had to skip that one for Supreme.

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image015.jpg

There was a closed chute at the northern end of this room, atop a ladder. Luckily, I could lean through it and reach the lever from the outside. That avoided further busts going through the room below. Dropped onto the torch behind Rowena to approach her unseen. I could kill her in one overhead blow, but this didn’t complete the objective. Instead, additional versions of her appeared fully alert. Some of them acted like apparitions, while others as zombies. All of them had to get killed before the objective checked off. Additionally, when the next to last version got slayed, Isabella woke up and she alerted to hunt mode from the noisy fights. I stayed behind one of the big pillars for the majority of the fights, so she never actually saw me. Regardless, all of this was a massive bust to all Ghost modes. The locked up demons also alerted to this, but they died along with Rowena, as did all the other demons outside. The objective said to take Isabella out of the mansion, which implied knocking her out, so at least that was excused.

There were quite a bit of loot laying around, including in a semi-hidden tomb underground. It required a red key from a strange room with two stationary female zombies guarding a red pool (image below). Unfortunately, this was one of the few keys that could be returned, but that was impossible for Supreme, as the closest zombie then entered hunt mode. Technically I should’ve skipped all this loot, but it was 750 worth of valuables, which pulled me way below the loot requirement. Instead I just hung on to the key, which was another bust.

https://www.klatremus.org/RowenasCurse_files/image016.jpg

Bringing Isabella out wasn’t a problem, just tedious. Climbed the torch by the mess hall again in order to get over the wall. Not sure how I would’ve dealt with that in OldDark. It would’ve been another huge bust. This made the front gate key by Lenny’s corpse pointless, so I skipped it entirely.

Notes:
- Got two first alerts when picking the lock on the basement turbine room door. Supreme busts.
- Nudged the guard outside the turbine room out of the way in order to pass. Supreme bust. Allowed for Ghost as a last resort.
- Skipped the purse worth 100 in the basement storage room for Supreme. Couldn’t avoid a first alert from the spider when picking the lock.
- Skipped the nugget worth 50 in Lisette’s room for Supreme. The outside guard saw me unless I turned off the lights.
- Skipped a purse worth 100 in a reading nook east of the front entrance for Supreme. The hallways was too lit and the guard gave a comment.
- Skipped the northwest barracks for Supreme, which included a purse and three coin stacks for a total of 115. The stationary guard heard the door open.
- Got a first alert when closing the gate to the southeast yard when heading to the dungeon. Supreme bust.
- Had to douse two torches and use one moss arrow in the dungeon, which also spawned two first alerts. Supreme busts.
- Nudged the dungeon guard out of the way so that he wouldn’t get killed from the blast. Supreme bust, but allowed for Ghost.
- Alerted both dungeon guards and many front yard guards to hunt mode when blowing up the explosive barrel. Ghost bust.
- Had to skip one of the candlesticks worth 50 in the chapel for Supreme. The stationary guard alerted to the door closing.
- Also had to skip the ring worth 100 in the sacristy for Supreme. The same guard as before heard the lockpicks.
- Took a first alert when returning to the mansion from the dungeon. The stationary guard in the chapel courtyard heard the door close.
- I couldn’t take any of the six gems in the water caves for Supreme. The spiders gave at least a first alert for all of them. I ended up taking the three in the flooded cave, as I wouldn’t have reached the loot goal otherwise. This yielded two first alerts. Supreme busts.
- Had to kill Duncan’s ghost in order to proceed with the story. Not directed in the objectives and thus a Ghost bust. 40 damage dealt and 2 back stabs.
- Got a first alert from the first demon beyond Gate to Hell. Supreme bust.
- Had to skip the golden bone worth 100 in the southwest cage outside Rowena’s ritual chamber for Supreme. I couldn’t reach it from outside and the zombie heard the gate open.
- Alerted all the demons in Rowena’s ritual chamber when fighting her. I was also spotted by all of her versions before winning the fights. Big Ghost busts.
- Isabella heard me killing the final version of Rowena. Ghost bust.
- I couldn’t return the red key to the room below Rowena’s chamber for Supreme. The closest stationary zombie alerted. I had to take this key to reach the loot goal, so I hung onto it. Small bust.
- Of the damage dealt, 40 was for Duncan’s ghost and 30 for Cedric. 1 damage was for knocking out Isabella, and the remainder was for the 7 versions of Rowena. That should be 9 kills in total, so I’m not sure where the 2 extra in the stats are from. The 1 body discovered is probably one of the demons who spotted something.

Comments:
I played this mission over 10 years ago, but never ghosted it until now. A nice creation from the early era of map making, by a very influential author. An industrial dockside section of the city, a fortified castle, and caves with some critters, all glued together by a cool story and clever layout. Don’t expect spectacular design, but rather a classic Thief romp.

I was tasked by the Merchant Association to turn on the inner harbor lights, as well as the generators for the lighthouse. I also had to grab 10,000 in loot, including Lady Lisa’s statue collection. Lastly, I needed to break into the weaponsmith’s, though I didn’t need to steal anything.

Electrics
The biggest problem early on came in the electric company. I had to turn off the top generators, while turning the bottom ones on. The latter was definitely the hardest. A stationary guard faced north, east and south. I could drop from the top walkway onto the edge of the closest generator quietly, but the guard had to be facing south (image below). In fact, he had to stay that way until I got to the inner half of the generator, beyond the metal beam. In this area, I was dark enough to stay undetected. All 8 generators triggered a flash bomb effect once I had flipped the switch. This spawned a first alert comment from both guards once. This took them a long time to settle down from, so they were in a constant first alert state for a few minutes after this. I couldn’t drop to the floor between the generators, I got spotted immediately. Additionally, the generators blocked my view although the guards could see straight through them. I could mantle the switch mechanisms to stay completely hidden all along the wall, though I suspect this to only be possible in NewDark.

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image001.jpg

To get back out I had to be a bit lucky. For this the guard had to face north while I had to scoot to the end of the generator and drop quietly (image below). At this point he could turn east, but not south. I flipped the main doors, then flipped it again to rush out, hoping no patrollers were around. I got there in the end.

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image002.jpg

Water Company
The water company was almost worse, especially for Supreme, as I couldn’t use moss arrows. The biggest problems were the metal walkway and the flickering electric lights. Also, the last two rooms were fully lit on the inside, so even if I could get in there unseen, getting back out was impossible without first alerts from the nearby workers. They were stationary and staring straight at said doors. I managed to get into the first office without Supreme busts by rushing from the doorway around the left corner, but getting back out with that mode intact was not doable. Over 400 in loot thus had to be skipped.

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image003.jpg

For regular Ghost the toughest spot was entering the final office without a second level alert. I could navigate around the patroller by dropping onto the last pumping machine and furthermore onto the floor (image above). When approaching the door, it really depended on the flickering lamp’s illumination. I found I could rush into the doorway and be hidden from said lamp by the north door jamb (image below). Here I waited out the first alerts, then rushed fully into the room around the door. After a few attempts I got no hunt mode. Same method going out, really. Again, leaving the doorway had to be done quickly, without making stepping noise, and being lucky with the light flickers.

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image004.jpg

Lady Lisa’s
The estate really wasn’t that difficult to sneak through. The statues in the garden was a bit tricky; I had to enter from the second level balcony. Coming from the kitchen wasn’t possible without at least a first alert from the maid. Taking Lady Lisa’s key was necessary in order to get the lighthouse key, but it was located in a metal-framed rack by the front entrance (first image below). Needless to say it would be impossible to return without alerting several guards, thus another Supreme bust. Outside Lisa’s bedroom was another guard that caused a bust. I had to douse the torch in the corner in order to pass him unnoticed, which spawned a first alert (second image below). I could’ve squeezed by behind him, but not without a slight nudge and that’s only allowed as a last resort. Once hearing the torch go out, he was in a first alert state for a few minutes and didn’t give further alerts until settling down from that.

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image005.jpg

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image006.jpg

When entering the bedroom, after not too long a running guard came in. He spawned at the foot of the stairs to the second floor and carried the key for the door there. He wasn’t alerted despite running, but would instead reduce his speed to a walk if first alerting. I could get all the items in the bedroom in three loops of his patrol. Took the loot from his room and dropped the key back. I couldn’t, however, close the door back up to Lisa’s bedroom without waking her up. It was either this or leaving the door both open and unlocked, I chose to lock it back up, taking the alert. I also wouldn’t be able to return the lighthouse key later, as this would trigger another first alert from the outside guard.

Lighthouse Passage
The first issue was getting into the river without alerting the red spider nearby. I could hop across without hearing an alert, but I suspected I was simply too far away to notice it. Instead, I leaned out and shot a rope into the ceiling so the line hung into the water (image below). This way I could lower myself and grab the rope without making a splash.

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image007.jpg

In the crayman caves came the biggest issue. In order to exit the caves, I needed three keys. One of those was located in a chest guarded by two red spiders in a brightly lit cave (first image below). There was no way to avoid fully alerting them and busting Ghost. In order to circumvent this, a big crate stack had to be made to bypass the gate requiring said keys. This maneuver was developed by Galaer, so all credit goes to him for this move. I needed five crates, which all had to be hauled from the streets. I brought two from behind the barrels close to the dock, and three more from the warehouse. I could transport them into the west tower through the small window next to the door (second image below). This skipped needing to the pick the lock. Back by the river I had to toss them along the left wall to avoid alerting the spider, while still having them land in the pool. To transport them down where the guards fought the blue crayman, I had to fetch two fruits from one of the smaller caves. This way I could grab the other crates from below without having to douse any of the torches in this cave (third image below).

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image009.jpg

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image010.jpg

After returning the fruits and getting the two nuggets down here, I started my stack. A patrolling crayman walked through the cave with the bridge above. The only dark spot in that cave close enough to reach the bridge, and where the crayman didn’t walk, was on the south side, just east of the cave with the dead pirate. In order to reach all the crates to build the stack, I had to toss two crates up onto the bridge from below first (first image below). They had to be far out on the edge, almost falling off. I could make a stack of the remaining three crates from below, then from atop it, I could lean and jump to grab the final two. My successful setup is shown in the second screenshot below. I also managed to bring along with me one crate when mantling up. The other four were left behind.

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image011.jpg

https://www.klatremus.org/LadyLisasHarbor_files/image012.jpg

I could now exit the caves in the lighthouse to the south. The frogs in there couldn’t see me, but did alert to sounds. Had to drop the crate under water in order for them not to hear it. Flipped the switch on the roof and dropped in a mantle so that I could retrieve the crate. Using the door alerted the frogs. Got all the loot on the harbor floor and returned the crate before ending the mission.

Notes:
- Got first alerts in the electric company building, from each guard when the first flash bomb effect triggered on each floor. Not exactly sure how many alerts I got, three or four. Supreme busts nonetheless.
- Skipped 437 loot in the water company bedroom and office. Couldn’t enter either room without first alerts.
- Couldn’t return Lady Lisa’s key to the guard room without alerts. Supreme bust.
- Had to douse a torch in the hallway outside Lady Lisa’s bedroom. This also spawned a first alert. Supreme busts.
- Woke up Lady Lisa when locking up the door to her bedroom. It was either this or leaving it open. A Supreme bust either way.
- Left behind 4 crates in the crayman caves when climbing up to the bridge to circumvent the gate. Supreme bust.
- Couldn’t return the lighthouse passage key without further alerts, so I hung on to it. Supreme bust.
