Like Printer's devil I've got 4 keys and nowhere to go.
I have the chapel key you start with, the north chapel key, and 2 keys taken from dead mechanists - one in the chapel and one in the courtyard. I've been in the great hall and up to the third floor where there's a locked door. No more keys anywhere that I can find and I've sniffed around like a dog looking for one. I've tried every door and iron gate in the compound twice. Nothing budges.
I doubt I'll finish since based on this thread we have a key hunt of epic porportions, but I'll give it a try if someone can tell me what to do next.

To get behind that locked door upstairs, you need to climb along some rafters from a neighbouring room.

Actually, that's not entirely true. As stated previously,
if you haven't activated the radio in the NE tower you need to do that first. The author clearly intended that accessing the SW tower
and the sequence of actions triggered by this is supposed to be done last among all the actions you do in this mission.
By the way, has anyone found all three secrets and is willing to divulge their locations? (I've found one, in
the gate house second floor, a room just southwest.)

Secret location: [SPOILER]There is a room with a mechanist who gives you a key to a room upstairs in the bunk house. Behind him is a loft area where if you look carefully you'll see a ladder in the back. It's a little hard to jump down to get to that area but you'll find some hidden weapons there.[/SPOILER]
BTW I liked the mission a lot!

Once you get the hang of looking for keys and things, it was a pretty cool mission!

Secrets:
Double bunk room upstairs:
There is a hidden switch that activate the bookcase.
Kitchen:
Go upstairs and look for a ladder in the corner. In there is a small cubbyhole containing goodies.
Water Tower? (I cant remember the name)
That area above the main gates. In one of the rooms there, there is a another (I think) hidden switch.

I'm clearly a masochist since I continue to play this mission. Still, I want to see it through. I've got 16 keys. I have been in the NW and SE towers. How do I get into the NE tower? I got a feeling, just a hunch mind you, that it's another key I need. Where would it be?

glwalen: Have you activated the beacon yet?
If so, then head back to the infirmarh, and on into the dungeon under it, where you will find the key to the SE tower.

Have I [SPOILER]activated the beacon? What beacon?[/SPOILER] I have noticed this mentioned throughout the thread. I have found no readables, nor have I seen anything closely resembling it. I've been in the [SPOILER]dungeon, found some mechanists who had just defeated some haunts, and found a key.[/SPOILER] But since the key goes on the keyring I don't know what it goes to.

I just said: the SE tower. It's in the bunkhouse near where you started.
glwhalen on 10/6/2007 at 14:33
And as I just said, I've been in the SE tower already. Found [SPOILER]a dead mechanist, a stove, a beaker over a small flame, lots of books one of which is readable, and I might have found a key but I don't remember.[/SPOILER]
Still no sight of or mention in any readable about a [SPOILER] beacon or activating a beacon.[/SPOILER]
I cannot access the SW tower or the NE tower. I have encountered [SPOILER]a woman in black and dealt with her. And I disposed of a skeleton archer.[/SPOILER]
I've checked every corpse and body part but there are no more keys and no more readables.
