The Prayer Book is in the lowest level of the mines, the one which is flooded. Take the elevator to the lowest level.

mission complete on expert,a bit over 3500 loot,4 secrets wow so many not found
never was able to find a key to factory vault/purple gem also never found a key to right door at mine entrance,mine key did not work,but going left worked fine from mine entrance
you did a amazing job,thank you
loved the shroom forest,mages area is amazing as always and now wow,who knew those mages pretty much have it good
i feel kinda bad for the guard in start area tower,what a sad existence ,right before i finished mission i went to visit him and smoke a cigg up there
the way you are able to put so much amazing detail in small areas is amazing,ohh i almost forgot that lower garden area below mages was so nice,and that earth/wind element wasent a problem to avoid
also this time in keeper area i went in unarmed and they were cool,first time i played first version i knocked them all out thinking they would be hostile :P
the giant skeletons added a lot to the lore i was making up along the way
i am curious why only a couple bug beasts and not one craybeast?
burricks were over all friendly to me
i loved how you took objects and changed size and used them for other items,perfectly done
and those worker npc's were kinda scary even though they just pagans in a different role
and the tri levelness of the map was very nice although i would have had sunken caves after the glimmer town instead of back tracking,maybe have a small alt craybeast route to meet with sunking caves before keepers,2 have 2 ways in there
and i am wondering can we knock out mushroom lights with sword/blackjack to darken outdoor area's? some of those areas were to brite and a forced run was needed i heard the burricks let the gass blow but my angled run was way to much for them :P
also wish there was a dryad in shroom forest for some good advice/etc
be sure to refresh page too see my updates :)

There were plans to build some craybeast areas around the village and in caves but were canceled because i was hitting the limits of the resources available for building. I was forced to leave the mission in it's current form.

Unfortunately not, but i could do this in a future remastered version if it will be any. But now i am focused to build a new mission.

Only just started this, I've only just got to the factory so have a long way to go, but so far the improvements are huge. I enjoyed the first version up to a point, it was fun exploring but in many ways it just did not engage me, but the updated version is so much more engaging, so much more to find, things to clamber over and investigate, I'm wanting to check and double check everything, you just don't know what's hidden behind that crate or cart. Well done Master of Dromed you should be very proud yourself.
Edit: The new maps for the mines are an excellent addition, they're still confusing but at least now you can actually work out where to go, a minor point but the occasional sign letting players know what level they are on would be useful.

The key for the Hammerite vault is a bit difficult to find. First, you have to stumble upon
one of two almost identical written messages in which a Hammerite reports on a person who was captured after unsuccessfully attempting to copy the vault key. The captive was interrogated, but the (original) key was not found. From that, the player should conclude that
the captive either dropped the key while fleeing, or hid it somewhere in his cell.And indeed, when the player goes to the
barracks containing a healing fountain (check your map to get an idea where that is), Garrett will find cells, and at least one opportunity to obtain a key for those cells. There's only one cell with a prisoner in it, so that should be him. Unfortunately, he won't tell you where the key is, not even if you knock him out and transport hin to safety. So you should decide to search his cell.If you examine the
iron maiden from several angles, and maybe even from its top after climbing on it, you should notice some lever or switch behind it. Use it, and a compartment on the wall opens. The Hammerite treasury key is inside.Of course, the key then opens the access to the Hammerite treasury marked on the map. And, also of course, it is
not unguarded.:ebil: But that's another story, as you will surely find out.
The right door near the mine entrance cannot be opened from this side. On the other side, there's a switch or lever to do this, but that comes later in the mission.

lack of map made it very hard for me to get a grip of layout in factory/mines,the rest i was able to nav with no problem
ty for info baeuchlein
i cant wait to see his next mission,very excited
also on map i only saw one page i ,am starting to think there was more map pages ,i am sure would have helped me more :P i need to lay off the spice
baeuchlein on 16/9/2021 at 03:50
There is more than one map page. I saw several of them: An overview, roughly depicting the way the player should take, and several detailed maps of the mines and factory.

May I have a hint for the location of the treasure of the mages? I'm almost sure it's in fire quarter, near the lava pool behind closed grid doors but I cannot find a way in.

@baeuchlein
Thank you for that hint about the key for the Hammerite vault after which I managed to blunder my way through to the end on Normal. And in retrospect I can now see there are 7 maps. I was so sure when I started there was only one map. My observational skills are in deep decline. :(
@Pavis
I assume I got that treasure but no idea where. As you may know, fortuni did a detailed (
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14dwD2h80mFR1JtcuZFQmss0XYPxyVI2L/view) walkthrough which may help. :)

@Pavis
To get the mages treasure you need two keys. You can find them in the water temple, one is near a sleeping guard on a chair the other is close in a locked room near. The first key opens the grids the other opens the mages treasury metal door. The mages treasury is indeed in the fire temple in the place you mentioned. There is another key for the grids in the fire temple in one of the fire mages rooms but you still need to go to the water temple for the treasury key.
Unfortunately the walkthrough is for the older version which is much different from this version and is not of much help here.
