My first FM "The Mystery Man" released! (26/03/2001)

Hello guys,

First, I have to say that this FM is great, probably the best of all Fan Missions I've played, even better than some of the original ones I guess. It looks really great, there is a huge map, the story is excellent. Congrats to the ones who made it.

But, I'm stuck right now, I don't know what to do. I made all objectives, except the "Find infos about the Mystery Man". I've killed Talbot, I got 2 talismans (fire and air), but where the hell are the 2 others? I cannot find them anywhere. Also, where is the key to open the "metallic" doors in one of the backyards where we can hear some "strange" voices coming from it? Let me know.

Thanks.

Spitter, I've played all 3 difficulty levels now and the fire Talisman is not always in the same place. The instructions I gave before were for Expert. SPOILER ALERT!

Hightlight here: If you are playing on a lower difficulty level, it is not in the library. You need to get the Upper Floor Key, and open the door that is near to the servants quarters and the upstairs dining room and look around up there.

Jupiter, the above could also apply to you, but it sounds like you are playing on Expert. You must have gotten up on the 3rd floor by climbing up from the outside balcony. That's what I did the first time. You still need the key to open the door. The chest up there isn't empty on lower difficulties. I've found a couple of places like that. They are just places where there is additional equipment to be found on the easier settings. In the library, for more specific help highlight here: if you still can't find the book, look to you left as you walk in the door. It's right in the corner about half way up the bookcase.
I also looked in that fireplace several times before I found the trigger. Just as a hint, look UP VERY CAREFULLY. :)

Labrekk, I'll give you a couple of hints to help. What difficulty level are you playing on? Some things are in different places on different difficulty levels.

You've been reading notes about Alexi's gold plate. Have you found it yet and figured out what to do with it? You have to to get one more Talisman. Also, there is a hidden door in the big library that you need to get a key to that will get you to the area to find another Talisman.

There is a key to open the metallic doors. That's the Western Tower. Before that you have to find the Upper Floor Key and the Masters Key. I don't know how specific you want me to be. Post back or e-mail me and let me know if you have either of the above keys and what difficulty you are playing on. :)

Ok what is with this table in the dining room - do you have to be an elf to get under there AAARRGGH! Any one out there want to throw me a hint before I commit myself! Thank you LOL

A bit of a vague question there. Care to elaborate?

Mystery Man FM: after you "use" Alexei's plate and the area under the dining table opens up....does that help? I can't figure out how to get in there...

Drop Alexei's golden plate into the sink in the kitchen and the table will open... I think..

I must have done that 50 times yesterday and only the space under the table opened... just tried it again and voila!! Thanks anyway!

Finally got round to playing this level. Damn impressive too! The problem is... I can't find the Talismans of Air and Earth. Any spoiler-laden posts of assistance will be greatly appreciated

Skeptic Intruder on 25/4/2001 at 11:34

Spoiler-laden it is.

Earth- find a switch in one of the siderooms of the library to open a secret door then check behind a throne for another switch then behind an alter for another switch and it'll open a small safe to the left.

Air- find the servants quarters and slash the banner, pick up the key and head back downstairs to open the treasury door next to the stairs up.
