Just playing this gigantic mission. I've read here and ingame that there is a secret passage in the Pillar crypt but couldn't find it. Can you please tell me where it is?
Edit:
also

4. Underground Church, high above the wooden cabinet - don't bring crates as i did, there is an easier way
How?

To Cotillion:
1) Put weight on pressure plates on floor.
2) The switch is hidden behind this wooden cabinet.

Loving this mission, but I'm truly stuck.
I'm in the storeroom next to the empty bath. I've read the letter slipped under the door and got the new objective. But now the door is locked and I'm missing one lockpick and can't get out. I picked up the fuse and the loot in the room but I how do I exit?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: Never mind. I finally found the missing lockpick below the door. Hard to see, though!

Later part of the mission, there really should be music.
More specifically, For Whom the Bell Tolls when you play the prayer call.
After all, There are Metallica songs in some parts of the mission.
Great mission, my favorite in campaign so far. Luckily, I found the map earlier.
But the dear God, the amount of running...

Ok, I'm trying to read these and figure out things, but since there is no map, I'm unsure exactly what to call anything.
[spoiler]
I don't know where Morra's key is. I did her objective and she's in jail. I guess her room is either the one with the colorful lamp in it that you can see through the open window (haven't been able to get in there) or it's in a room near the pillar crypt that has 2 doors. If I face the wall, the left door I can't open either. I never did find the chapel key, but went the long way around. So far I have not used any hints for this mission. I have the major, but so far can't figure out how to open any secret door in the Pillar Crypt. Have 5 1/2 hours with this mission so far.

Your playing without a map, your a brave soul.
Guess your playing on expert.
Your correct Morra's bedroom is the one with the lamp, her key is
in the safe in the Abbott's office.
The l/h door in the Pillar Crypt is opened with the
Cathedral keyNot sure what you mean by the Chapel, there's a west Chapel but that doesn't need a key.
The Secret in the Pillar Crypt is the exit from the mission but to access it you'll need a
couple of bodies. :sly:
PS. If you want to check the map after you have finished I posted the walkthrough (

There are 2 doors on the outside of a small chapel. These 2 doors lead to where the church is with the 5 small chapels and to the roof area. Those are the 2 doors I couldn't find. I guess I have to go back. The Abbott key was the first key I found. I never found a safe. Not sure where I even used the key. I do remember using it to get outside I believe. There must be something I'm missing. I guess I can finish this without opening those few doors left, but I like to explore things.
[spoiler]
One question, there is a room with stacked wood and a fireplace and 3 crates. I went inside the fireplace with the 3 crates and mantled up to a crawlspace in the chimney. There is nothing there and I can't climb up the chimney. Is there nothing on expert but on other difficulties?
Ok, went back to the safe. I never opened it. Couldn't find the combination of colors and still can't. It was the cathedral key I needed. Didn't look behind the curtains. So all that is left is Morra's key in the safe and then figuring out how to get the Major out of the crypt.
[/spoiler]

There's nothing up the chimney, no.
You said you saw the lamp in Morra's window, that is the code to the safe, the colours of the lamp from left to right.
You can carry the Major all the way to the pillar room, or find the secret tunnel in his cell.
Take him to the Pillar crypt and use a couple of bodies to access the hidden exit.

Initial impressions after a couple (or three) of hours in the mission:
Unbelievably vast setting. Is this based on a real place? Who could have possibly built something like this? Not unrealistic, per se, but implying wealth, power, and resources only a great empire could possess or control.
The scale is immense.
As to the game play: the place is so big I'm perpetually lost. Have found very little useful. No hope of completion without extensive study of the walk through and this thread.
Secrets? If they are the "single coin left on a window sill way up" variety, then it's no wonder I haven't stumbled upon a single one. On the other hand, this place is so big that they might be right-in-your- face kinds that I can't see for all the rubber-necking I'm doing (like a tourist). But, THIRTEEN of them and not found one yet? After nearly three hours?
I appreciate the incredible amount of work and planning that went into this mission and the level of detail and design, but we poor players are mere mortals. On the bright side, I am retired now and can devote more than sane amounts of time to this endeavor.
And I am enjoying myself in spite of my carping.:D
