You might try lowering the difficulty if you're having trouble. If you're playing expert, try this:
1. Go upstairs, turn off the light in kitchen.
2. Jump onto the rug into the dining room to your right and grab the 3 healing fruits.
3. If the guard is to your right at the end of the hall, creep onto the rug and run over to the stairs to the upper floor. Or, wait for him to to walk to down the hall to the left and follow him. Take a left at the upper stairs.
4. If the guard is not standing at the top of the stairs, quickly hug the left wall and run up them, stopping in the shadowy corner.
5. Wait for the hall guard to come and stand at the top of the stairs, then move past him down the hall to get the necklace.
^^^ If you do these steps quick enough, you can get into the Lady's room and shut the door to muffle a coughing fit. (The guards don't hear you every time- just sometimes and I'm not sure why)
6. Once you've got the necklace, head back down the hall and hide in either the small room with the candle on the table or the same shadowy corner.
7. You should have enough time to head down the stairs and dodge the hall guard on the bottom floor and creep back through the kitchen. You're home free from there.

Sorry you feel that way. Maybe take a break and come back to it- the rest of the mission might redeem itself for you.

So I've been thoroughly enjoying this campaign, but I appear to have a problem now in Mission 4.
Right after overhearing Merrick trying to talk to the warden about the Diamonds, a new objective is added. At that exact moment, the object for not letting hammerites or others detect you also fails and the mission ends.
Any suggestions?

I finally got through the poison part, not sure why I had such a hard time...it is what it is. other than that , the whole FM has been top notch.

If Merek hears or sees you, the mission will fail. Likewise if you alert any of the guards nearby, they can alert him in turn and the mission will fail. If you have a save from before you went too near that area, you might try going back and approaching that spot more stealthily. Once his conversation is done, you are free to blackjack him (so long as you don't alert him in the process).
Kerrle on 30/1/2017 at 06:46
I was afraid that'd be the case. There's no one actively alert right now, but I could well have gotten within earshot of him...about 30 minutes ago.
Tannar on 30/1/2017 at 07:13
Yeah, I had that happen once as well. Mostly it's fairly easy to avoid, but it occasionally happens. I hope you have an earlier save.

This was memorable and a lot of fun! The beginning was tense and just the right length, after which the mission really opened up. It is a really climby climbing mission - most of those have you travelling along a few routes, while here, you can actually walk around the rooftops to your heart's content... and the route-finding puzzles can still be devilishly difficult.
Here are some of the interesting things I have found (spoilers):
Freed the guy under the grate and engineered a jailbreak (BTW, I only got to the jail very late, after making an impossible-looking diagonal jump on top of a streetlamp).
Found the rooftop tavern for thieves - a great touch.
Found a magic circle in a tower on Widow's, but could not do anything with it.
Found a Hammerite head on a plate
Found Random Taffer's portrait peering back at me!
Found the guys who had tried to kill me in the first mission, and looted their place. It is a neat touch that you do not actually have to visit them (at least not on Hard), and they are just there because they are there. Impressive balcony - that whole thing is very thiefy.
Found the magic scroll, but didn't find a way to use it (suspected the magic circle, but it didn't work).
Found a Fortuneteller's place that might be the place you see through the crystal ball in Mission 2, but couldn't get in.
Found Fifty Shades of Cray.
Found a heretical Mechanist's lair!
Through the mission, there are hints of a "cloaked" magic item, but I did not actually find it.
I had to give up on ghosting because some parts are just gosh darn tough to sneak through. Got 4800 loot, which means there is still a lot more lying out there... and 1 out of 3 secrets.
Thanks!
