Thanks Maxx, found it ;)

In mission 2, I need Mortimer's safe key; a scroll in his lab says that key is in his "other" office, the one in the house. But I have no idea where to find the house area.

I've been through the lower (Maw-ish) levels, the jail, the torture chamber, and I'm currently in the biggish building with a gaming room, a fireplace room with a beer advert on the wall, and a kitchen. From that location, how do I get to the house area? :weird:

Thanks,

Dafydd

This was a little confusing to us beta testers as it was easy to pass but there's an alcove that leads upstairs to another part of the house where you find the door out and Mortimer's office where the key is. Where you begin, look across to see a Mech guard behind a glass window. The way up is here and then you'll get to another alcove to go upstairs.

Vault's up with this?

Major spoiler:

[SPOILer]I got the key from the novices' quarters and got the code hints for the vault combo from Cook's house. I counted 2 hammer symbols in the catacombs (or three, if you count the loot hammer in one of the rooms); 9 or 8 graves in the priests' cemetary (depending on whether the odd-shaped thing is a tombstone or just decoration); 4 chandeliers in the main Hammerite cathedral (two on each side); and 9 people on the roster (five from Hightown, four from Auldale). But I tried 2949, 3949, 2849, and 3849, and none of them seemed to open the vault door. How am I messing this up?[/SPOILer]

I went back and recalculated; counting the six hammer symbols on the floor in the catacombs (four in one room, two visible in another), that would make 8 hammer symbols, or 9 if we count the loot item (but how would the writer of that hint scroll know there was a loose hammer on the floor?) So I tried 8949 and 8849, as well as 9849 and 9949, just for the heck of it. Still no luck.

I found it by searching this thread... but I don't understand where the other two chandeliers are. The code is 2869; but I only saw four chandeliers in the main cathedral, two in each aisle on either side of the nave. Where are the other two?

Thanks,

Dafydd

there is no reason for being so unpolite.

This is btw. the cheapest trick in thief, the only thing which is ridiculous is when a person who plays thief for amlost 7 years doesnt know it.

Nice to see you're not a hypocrite or anything. .

When you arent sure if something is frobable or not just choose an item from your inventory (e.g. cheese or apples). Then get very close to the object you would like to frob. When the object in your inventory is smaller than normally, the object is frobable. Now frob it once and everything is fine.

Frankly, I think my frustration is justified. You shouldn't have to resort to methods like that to tell if something is frobbable or not! I don't see any reason why something should be so needlessly confounding. Would it have been so much to ask that the glyphs at least make a sound when you frob them?

Anyway, Mission 4
I think the last thing I need is to get into the furnace control room but I can't unlock the door. Could I please have a hint as to where the key for that might be?

Dafydd on 20/5/2012 at 09:53

Sigh, my usual trouble with loot. I need 2200, but I have only 1990. I've completed all the other tasks. Any hard-to-find stashes of loot I can try?

Thanks,

Dafydd

You'll get to it from the room where you got the key for Building B.

Further - Look closely at the walls.

Oops, I should have specified mission 3, the one that takes place in the Keeper compound and the Hammerite cathedral; I need 210 to satisfy the loot requirement. Any suggestions of hard-to-see loot?

Thanks,

Dafydd
