I restarted on Expert to have a look. Did you set off the alarm before you got to the rat's room? If the alarm goes off he runs out and around the mansion, so he would have been gone before you got there. If the alarm didn't go off, when you opened that room,there should have been a girl standing over in the corner and the rat running around on the floor. I tried to alert him and then follow to see where he went, but every time he got stuck trying to run up the stairs to the top level. Have you checked those stairs? He doesn't have to be blackjacked, he is frobbable and goes into your inventory. He also runs on ceilings and walls, so you really have to look all over. If you can't find him, I can only suggest restarting and making sure you get to that room without alerting him and then it's easy to pick him up.

My goodness Nightwalker...you are the most helpful person! <IMG SRC="angel.gif" border="0"> How very kind of you to go to that much trouble to help me. Yes, of course I managed to set off the alarms before I got to the second floor (although I did turn them off). I'll give the place another good look all around and if I don't find the rat....well, I may have to restart it myself. Thanks again for going the extra distance!!! :D

Well, I ended up restarting to see what he looked like and how he acted/reacted. I tried several times to follow him to see if there was a pattern, but didn't find one. Heck, I even had trouble keeping him in sight for very long once I ran into a guard. So, I ended up restarting for good as I don't think I would have found him any other way. He just blends in or was stuck somewhere and never appeared. Thanks again for the help!

Your welcome, vandi. :) He's really hard to find once he gets out of that room.

As is typical for me, I'm stuck on a problem that seemingly no one else has had (at least it hasn't appeared on the forum).
Playing on Expert, I've achieved every objective except for the Hammerite faction plans one. I think I've been everywhere including the secret Hammer area under the chapel and read every book and scroll I've found. Anyone remember the solution?
Thanks!

I had a little trouble there as well. Look closely in the secret hammerite area. In particular look very closely at the [SPOILER]floor[/SPOILER] .

Found it, thanks!
Although I completed all the objectives and found all loot, the mission still wouldn't end for me so I concluded it by bungee jumping off the balloon without the bungee cords. :laff:

About the rat.
Sneak into the room then close the door behind you and the rat won't run off! Unless he knows how to open doors!

I seem to be having a probmel.
I found the key in the secret room in the library where you have to shoot a water arrow at that painting or whatever. But the key it doens't open that metal door! What do I use that key for?
Nightwalker on 23/3/2002 at 14:22
You need 2 keys to get in there. The one you have opens a grated inside the outer door. You need to go to the Master bedroom, go into the side room and get a key from on top of the bookcases. That will open the outer door. :)
