Thanks Darth...I'm afraid I'm an old fart with a three ounce brain...better not use me on the brain map machine..you'd waste a good sheet of paper.:laff::laff:

Thanks Darth and Unkillable.

I'd already found that secret then, but without a 'tick off', I didn't realise.
I had also killed the Lord of Death by other means.

Great Halloween mission Darthslair - and congrats on the first new V.1.19 release. Seemed really big map for a contest entry and SO many enemies - kinda felt drained when I'd finished :p . Liked the water / river sections and the threat of the creature always nearby . Nice work!

Finished with 1100 loot short and 14 of 22 secrets - not too sure where to start looking for the others. That pumpkin seems mighty suspicious though :D.

I was confused with that as well pwl - it's not the table where you analyse the brain - it's the platform right next where you put the heart.

Thank you Darthslair for this FM. Sorry, but there is a pretty nasty bug I ran into.

If you choose not to take the DR. body with you and explore the chambers below and free some people, there is no body in the lab when you come back up to do the brain map thing. That kind of pissed me off. I spent a long time vanquishing these people, only to find I cannot move forward since the doctor is now vanished. Too linear. Some of us like to do things a little bit out of order and this game does not allow for that.

I am playing on treat. I guess that is the hard version? My opinion is there are too may haunts and too much light, but that's just me. At least you did not make all the floors marble, then provide no moss arrows. :joke:

So, I am having to back up about a hour of play and start again from the lab since someone is now gone forever.

Also, what is up with the Poinsoned steak? It did not work. The One Eyed dude ate it, but it seemed not to do anything.

Cheers,
Bjack

I have found 16 of the 22 secrets. I've been all over bashing everything, frobbing everything. Is it possible to get into the warehouse with the guards? I'm also short now 150 loot. Found some small rings I overlooked about. I'm assuming the 6 secrets I'm missing will put me over. I actually played an additional hour last night and didn't find any of the 6 missing secrets.

Is there a use for the precursor mask and hand?

Did you start with a patched v1.18 before patching to v1.19 ? The runtime 6 that is required, I updated my xp machine with what was recommended, but had fall back to the earlier version. I was using dx 9xc originally, then fell back to 9a, and it worked fine.

Thanks for the mirrors Clearing and Brethren ! I missed the "T" at the end of Hear, but after the contest, I plan on final update to repair the secrets stats, maybe at another 7 secrets to it. Near 3500 objects though, so I must take care to add anything to it.

No, I did a totally fresh install when New Dark came out. I have the old 1.18 in a separate location. I can get FM Selector to work correctly with Dromed though, and I can play the mission using Dromed too (using Darkloader). I'll keep digging around for the cause.
