I've just finished the second mission, I was always curious what's the story behind Azaran from that awe-inspiring Necromancer tower in Life of the Party. Just whant to say thank you Balboa, I'm enjoying your mission, you paid attention to so many details. Looking forward to what's gonna happen in the third mission of this campaign.

Azaran the Cruel was the Necromancer from Life of the Party. Mage Kreos ibn Azaran was the original Mentor of Novices at Siderial AEther, but also a secret follower of the Necromancer. After he was discovered and expelled, he sought his master's book, then came back and zombified everyone.
Good thing you stopped him.
You did stop him, didn't you?

Amazing campaign, very enjoyable to play through. Also loved the high visual quality :thumb:
I found it a bit hard at times, like with the undead appearing in mission 2 (I just read in the thread here that there´s a way to prevent this, but this totally passed me by.. I also totally missed the hidden lab in mission 2.

In each mission I found a few secrets, but not all of them.

I have a question about the epilogue: The cutscenes shown are the people garrett stole from. If I noticed it right, only the ones I really found are shown, is that right?

Sadly, you can't prevent the zombie apocalypse, but you can choose to clean up after it occurs (if you find that secret).

The epilog shows all of the significant recent thefts in High Towne, not just the ones Garrett was responsible for. It's up to Garrett to get there first, before some second-tier thief absconds with the goods. ;)

Matriarch v1.1 is released (see first post). Adds Spanish support, and a couple of minor bug fixes.

I'm in mission 1. I got to room 212. No documents I could get close enough to read. A letter in the mail drop that does not highlight. Objective about room 212 does not check off.
So I went to High market and contrived to climb a fence and jump into the canal in the area connecting to Bafford Downs. Knocked some people out, but that's all. Nothing else is accessible. No key for Bafford Downs.
Pretty sure that's not what I'm supposed to do.
I have a save from just before room 212, but nothing is different when I load there.
So, I'm stuck.

There is nothing you should need to do, other than open the door to Room 212, so I suspect you might have a corrupt download, or a conflict with local copies of tnhscript or NVscript on your system.

After you grab the downpayment and the sextant (both NVFrobToggle) you can then grab the letter (tnhScript TrapFrobInert) which completes the Room 212 objective and opens Bafford Downs.

Fantastic little campaign Balboa! :thumb:

Have enjoyed playing this one. Like others, in mission 2, I only got to the Lab the unintended way and never found the correct one.
Also way short on loot and secrets.
I shall definitely play this again - when there is a definitive list of secrets!

Thanks for your reply.
I tried downloading the mission again.
This time it shows version 1.1.
I have been playing version 1.0.
I installed version 1.1, started it, then made a save.
Then I grabbed the saves from 1.0 and pasted them into the save folder of 1.1, hoping the problem would be fixed. Nope.
I also tried copying tnhscript and NVscript from version 1.1 and overwrite those files in version 1.0. That didn't work either.
At this point, I can only restart the mission in version 1.1 and hope the problem does not recur, but I'm not feeling that yet. Somewhere down the road I'll try again.
