I got almost everything done on Hard, but I'm wondering, what's the flint and steel for? And where do I find the key to the piano puzzle?

There are lanterns in the mine that you can light with the flint and steel, though only on the middle level. There are two piano puzzles. The clue for one is in the drawing room fireplace and the clue for the other is in the tower room with the guard.

Thanks. I don't get the "fade\fad" one though. I tried spelling it out and it doesn't work

You need to play it at the high end of the keyboard (the far right). And the F, A, and D are sharp (black keys) but the E is not.

For the record, the first time I played the mission during testing I took Marianne
with me on my first trip out of the mine. Like others here, I dropped her at the crypt entrance and went back for the key. But she did not disappear. I also did this same thing in a later beta version (though I didn't have to go back for the key) and though I dropped her numerous times, she did not disappear then either.I
dropped her outside the crypt after taking her down the hole after the first encounter, and went to do the trials and after when I returned to reclaim her body, yup, she was gonedbrilliant on 14/9/2014 at 01:26
So far, this is a beautiful mission. There's been a lot of time (not exaggerating a bit) to make and test this one.
I am a little stuck now. I taken care of everyone in the house, and lit all the lanterns in the mine. I had to make sure, that I didn't open the chest in the vault the closes the door/grate. I cannot gather the items for the ritual after being in the Library twice. Read both the book from the desk, as well as the scroll on a separate shelf.
I have a fire arrow, and the flint, but there are 2 running rats in the stable, and no dead ones. Checked everywhere, even the roof. Also, cannot find the cauldron, nor the blue flower for the ritual either. Is there something in the house, or the crypt, that will trigger these to become available? I was thinking that either readable from the library, and or kitchen would allow these to be obtained, in order to get the sword.

All of the items for the ritual are available all the time. The cauldron is in the kitchen on the counter. The dead rat is in the stable loft on the right side as you enter. Look behind some empty jars. The flower is in a garden flower patch near the gazebo with the archer. The wine is in the tower room that does not have a guard.

Apparently, I'll need to restart this mission as all 3 items are not where they're supposed to be on my map. Every once in a blue moon, I get this issue. :)
-All I get is a moss arrow & a Health potion where the rat should be.
EDIT: Looks like there's another issue. I restarted the mission from scratch, and nothing was showing up for the ritual for easy. I removed Darkloader, as well as Thief 2 w/tafferpatcher.
Then re-installed Tafferpatcher (w/Newdark v1.21). Then extracted v1.22 to the C:\Games\Thief 2 folder. Made sure v1.22 for Thief2.exe was showing in details.
-Still nothing showing up on items required for the ritual. When I re-installed T2-tafferpatcher, there were no Thief 2 saved games that could mess me up. worse yet. I cannot ghost in the lower mine, to get to the elevator.
Any ideas? Tried FM Selector as well. Cannot get it to run the mission.

iirc the ritual (and associated items) is Expert only.
