...Does this change depending on difficulty level? I'm on hard.
to be honest - I only test at the highest difficulty level. I know the loot available is same at every level.

No it does not change.

I´m having trouble with the riddle aswell. I put rubble on the letters R E I and F (which is above). If I put anything on any other letter the haunts attack. What am I missing?

This is... mmm. This is a great mission, but a bad puzzle.
Apparently some people objected to me spoiling part of the answer too soon after release, but one man's spoiler is another man's prompt bug report, because I really did think I'd broken this.
The answer is to spell a word that letter-by-letter, with order important. Fair enough.
But... If you'd played the previous version and gone "Oh, yeah, I remember what the rubble (which is still present in this version) was for" you're at a disadvantage because you don't have to weigh them all down, but walk over them in order. And Thief is flaky about this, it's too easy to not actually trigger a plate, or trigger it twice, which breaks it and you have to restart.
But the real objection I have if that the hints are misleading. "No need to spell out clever plans"... but the answer is spelling something out. And then if you do everything correctly there's a plaque in a small room that says "No, that was all for nothing, best kill yourself", which makes me think at best I need to reload, at worst I've locked myself out of a bonus objective completely. But that is the room I actually need to be in to continue and start solving the puzzle!

So Swiz, are you still stuck or no? As for some things being misleading, well...the Hammers of the order of St Stefan want you to fail and die rather than loot the tomb of their most revered idol.

No, I'm not stuck any more.
And I'd give you that as a possible bluff - but there's a scroll from St. Stefan where he has a prophecy of the plot of Thief 1 that is completely on the ball. In fact, he's presented as uncannily accurate and more trustworthy and in balance than John. Q. Hammerite in general!

Agreed, but he wants only Garrett to find his tomb, not any random looter. And since he could see the future, he knows Garrett will find it. =)
I was actually going to place a message in the tomb that warns Garrett about something in his future, but could not think of anything really good.
