Actually I went to the attic but I can't find anything in the chimney. You mean the attic in which you find the well note, right?

Btw nicked, the items description at the beginning cracked me up

There are four seperate lofts/attics, the roofspaces over the library and master bedroom, and the two tower rooms. The one that leads to the vault is the one above, and accessed from, the master bedroom.

Great mission. I only found 2/8 secrets but was able to finish the whole mission without needing to look for any spoilers, so I'd say you did really well on in-game clues and hints.

Dropped. I was really loving this mission but then I went into the mines, took Marianne's body, made my way through the crypts then I dropped her body in the entrance while I went to collect the key and BAM, the body is not there anymore. I know this is a bug because in one of the servant's room it happened the same thing.

This is a shame. Don't know if I'll try to get all the other objectives completed or I'm just gonna leave it as it is.

Eventually I finished the other objectives and these are my stats

Difficulty: Expert
Loot 3442\4012
Secret: 3 out of 6
Also I consider myself really fast in FMs and Thief in general and I did this in 2h13m, a lot of time for me.

Alas I really hated that one bug with the body, but the mission itself is totally worth playing.

Great work on that nicked, I loved both atmosphere and variety.

Thief ain`t a timelapse game, Find the secrets, discover hidden clues, stealth gaming, Don`t kill people,.....Ain`t no fun just running through it....It`s not a FPS (First Person Shooter) it`s a FPS (First Person Stealth)!!

Never said I ran through missions. Actually I was praising nicked for this long one

@Sengu
Regarding the body disappearing after a drop, this never happened in testing. Can you describe exactly where you dropped it? "In the entrance" is not clear. What entrance and where? This may bear looking into.

First disappearing body happened in the room on the same corridor of the piano riddles. In the last room there's a man with green shirt sleeping, a bottle and a glass on a table right in front of the fire. I blackjacked him and when I got back into that room later, the body was gone.

As for Marianne I grabbed her body from the "altar" and went down in a hole, then I went through a tunnel in a hall with two female zombies. At this point I started climbing the hall and then I got into the crypts, from there I just went to the crypt entrance, right behind the locked door overlooking the garden, in front of the greenhouse with the Pagan in it. The door was locked and an effigy on the ground told me to look for a key in the tomb of the Sixth Knight. So I dropped Marianne down there and I went back to find the key (Meanwhile I also got the objective from the Pavoni's tomb and I was told about the magical sword.

After doing all this, I went back to open that bloody door and the body was gone.

Also I noticed these two were the only bodies I grabbed. And the same thing happened to both of them: they disappeared after a while, don't know how much though.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to say that the disappearing bodies were actually three. I blackjacked the detective and moved him in a corner of the room. After visiting it again, he wasn't there anymore.
