That's one way. Could always take a crate down there too. But notice the wooden beam above you as well.

Thanks, RippedPhreak! I totally forgot to look up while I was searching for a way out.
Another question, since I'm trying to find a solution for some hours now. Is there a way to get the loot from the high priest's office and the crypt key from the bath without alerting the hammerites? The bath is especially difficult, since after the attack on Warstrand the hammerites remain in the area in an alerted stance.

For the office: Again use ropes.

For the bath house: The Hammerites should leave the area soon. Proyas goes over to the priests' house to the east, while his lackey patrols the bath house. If they are just standing there forever, then something has gone wrong. If you wait a while, do they calm down and leave?

Well, Proyas went on his way but not before I could snatch his key. Unfortunately, his friend decided to stop patroling and stand guard in front of the toilet door... and i was hiding in said toilet :p . After reloading everthing looks fine. The lackey is patroling, Proyas is nowhere to be seen (supposedly went back to the priests' house). Only problem is, that the guard in the well area got alerted somehow too, so I will have to evade him as well.

I have just finished this masterpiece. Missed about 2800 loot, so yeah, there is a lot of well hidden loot... hell, I have even found loot that I could see but couldn't get to it. Very well designed mission, with wonderful architecture, lighting and textures. Many interesting places and a wide variety of characters and objectives.

Thank you for this mission, RippedPhreak, this was time well spent for both of us ;) .

is there a way into Cardinal Martinian's room at the base of the outside stairs.....I can see a vent in the bath house changing rooms,that does not open,although the inner vent does open when I lean into it... but cannot fathom out how to get there from the tunnels above.

Edit:...I have found the way...bottom of library

Okay, now I am curious, where did you find the secret way in? I am currently in the library (which stretches on three floors). Where should I look? - Found it - little spiral stair room next to the library, ground floor, where the little shelf is - look at the ceiling

Amazing mission, this far! Thanks for release. I managed to get around 6.000 in loot so far and stole every relic so far, absolutely love it. :D I think it is really a worthy successor to the abandonded Hammerite Imperium campaign.

Another question:

How do I enter the blue flame room? There seems to be loot located in the maws of the garoyles on the wall... - found it: on the hallway to the left check the iron wall decorations - the sarcophagus on the other side has a secret switch behind it

So far I absolutely love this mission, but sadly it doesn´t run smoothly. I installed the V2, but after 1 hour ingame I experince lags and missing sounds about every 30 seconds

Thanks for the updated release. I gave it a quick test, and the objectives work now. I'll have to go through the whole thing again, but last time I was ~1800 loot short of the total.

On a sidenote, it's because the objectives weren't working that the book in Proyas' quarters didn't make any sense to me.

Excellent release! Made only about 1000 over the loot objective so I still got plenty more snooping around to do.

One question though, I disabled what I assume was a poison trap on the crown in the crypt but I couldn't figure out the portcullis. I ended up using two pieces of rubble I found down in the crypt to prevent it from closing fully but I can't help but feel I missed some other, more obvious solution here.

There is a way to pick a lock and open the doors from the inside. Just search the walls as if you lost a contact lens on one of them.
