I knew you said you had to take it out, but I couldn't remember exactly why! Thanks for explaining, doaal. :)

Got Air and Water. So, fire and earth might be in the order of day. I am thru searching firepaces, though. The pool doesn't seem to have any hidden passages, either.
I had forgotten the pain Ice could be in the game. Thanks for reminding me. Oddly, few missions ever use it. it'd be nice to have a FM alike Thievery's "Folly" where you actually have an outside scenery with snow and bloody footsteps become quickly an issue.
Gosh, I just broke thru the 13k Loot methinks! Retiring to the caribbean, Garrett? =)
[spoiler] spinning AWOL? would that be a bug not unlike I experimented when convict.osm died on me? Is this Mistery Man a Leech?... no I haven't read the other thread about the mission. Tempting though it might be, I like going thru a mission without reading a lot about it beforehand.
Funny thing, you can see some windows open on the Western Tower, through a window facing the the Inner Patio of the Back Gate. Seems peaceful enough but Í'll bet my Blackjack it ain't. The Back Gate doesn't seem to open from inside either, and the face of the tower seems sheer, no doors to that patio. I might be overworrying =)

You're missing the Earth Talisman? Are you sure you explored Hector's chambers well enough? :p
Did you find Nina's heart yet? On Taffer and Rogue it's where the "fake" one is on Garrett. To Fire Talisman is with Nina's Heart. Find the "small" library close to the dining room near the pool. Look carefully to your left as soon as you walk in for a book that you can pick up and read. Then go read the scroll on the wall, and read the book again, and look at the scroll... and try to figure it out :)

I *KNEW* that non highlighting coffer had to be relevant =P /me feels REAL smart.
Ok got it =) d-uh.
One to go, I guess..Time to put my readin to date.
[spoiler] I was only too eager to leave that building once I got what I came for =) Funny thing, I got the Song of Shadows already.... and of course read the Scroll, for the DarkMinion (did you get the email?) was as usual behind me to make sure I wouldn't enjoy my book for long. =P [/spoiler]

Nope didn't get an email. Well if you have the book "Song of Shadows" then that's good! You should follow the Master's instructions and leave it on that table in the library for him

You gotta be kididing. and here I was reading it thoroughly, making possible alliterations, combining letters and counting different combos. It pays to think simple, I guess.
By the way....didn't you have any WORSE obstacle? I think I might ace that one too fast =P sheeeeeeesh
P.S.: Actually if I might add, it wasn't so bad. Coupla tries. You like your food well done, lemme guess?
[spoiler] LOL! Bug in the engine? Once I retrieve the Heart and the Talisman form the Magma Filled CHamber, I return, the Dark Minion lays dead, err, newly-re-dead, on the corner where I originally put him back to eternal rest. If I retake the Song of Shadows Book, the Dark Minion appears on the other corner..... some 6 feet high from the carpet, laying on the air. Funny Screenshot. [/spoiler]

Mystery Man is one of the very best FMs I've ever played. I spent 3 and a half hours on that mission, hunting loot, looking for secrets and just goofing around :)

Some people have trouble with the mirror. Does it look opaque to you? You should change your angle until it becomes transparent, and then look at the reflection. Then look at your side. Is anything different? If you want the answer highlight below:
