T2 FM: Disorientation (08-06-2009)

I wondered if someone could help me regarding the following?

I've found my way into the Keeper's area. I've roamed about, not much to see but a few frobbable books and a couple of pieces of loot. Can anyone advise if I can get down to the library area? The upper corridor is enclosed in a cage. Now, even with my aging body, I could climb that cage due to the spacing of the bars but climber extraordinaire Garrett doesn't want to. Is there another way in?

Thanks for this great mission from 16 years ago!

As far as I remember, the way you mentioned is nearly the only one. I managed to get down there in a very similar manner; I think I jumped towards the cage and mantled over the top, maybe near one of the ends of the corridor. I also think I was somehow able to get out again. But I do not remember finding anything important down there. Thus, it seems to be pointless or even unintended to get down there.

Thanks - I thought that might be the case.

Another oldie but goodie I've only just gotten around to. This is a terrific city mission, and I think I have just about everything explored, but there are a few locations near the beginning I can't crack.

1. That ladder wayyyy up in the corner very much looks like it leads somewhere, but I can't get anywhere near it.

2. The above location looks like it might be accessible from the opposite side, but I can't figure how to get up there, either:

3. There's a suggestive gate right near the beginning. There's supposedly a hint further back in the thread that involved a rope arrow, but I'm still not putting it together:

4. And last, the place where you grab the artsy thingy on the window sill right over the canal. Getting the artsy thing is easy enough, but there's a functional door inside. Is that an accessible area?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I looked around with DromEd2 a bit and remembered one or two things. So, I might not be completely accurate, but I think I can get you going for the first two screenshots, and get you to ignore the other two.:cheeky:

Locations 1 and 2 can most likely be accessed from a place near a clocktower. A chain crosses the street there. There is something like a walled garden there. If you shoot a rope arrow into a wooden sill running around the house next to the garden and climb up onto the wall around the garden, you might reach the rope. Then, it's a bit of climbing and exploration, and you should arrive on the sill in location 2 on the right side of your screenshot. Hopping around via the statue in both screenshots should bring you to the other place.

Location 3 does not contain anything other than the decorated walls which you can see through the iron gate. There seems to be no way into that area, and there's nothing to gain there, so it's just there to create a believable city look.

Location 4 is not accessible. The only access to it would be the door you mentioned, but DromEd shows nothing behind it.

Thank you very much for the digging. Three and four (particularly four) I had my doubts about, but one and two looked very much like they aught to be accessible, and as it turns out are, but from a different route (technically, two) than you indicated. The area was interesting, but I still can't have seen all there is to see, considering my measly ~2100 out of 3500 loot.
