I am playing at expert level
Is there a key to the sewage hatch from the secret tunnel of Lord Montague room?

I am also stuck at the big building with 3 guards outside the frontdoor.. how the hell can one open the double door ?

I need to finish the last objective
i.e to kill the person that Alex originally employed to !
Can you switch off the darn siren ..

Any help is most appreciated !

BTW.. where is the FAQ for this mission ?
The link is dead !

There is not. It can only be opened with a switch, which you will come across later.

You need a key to open these door. The problem is, it is inside :p . You need to find another way in.

No. It is not as annoying as it may seem at first though, as its range is rather limited.

Marecki gave you excellent clues. If you still are stuck, you should climb the stairs back to the look out tower where the archer was and glass skylights looking down to the hall. Then look at the "defensive tower" and you'll see where you can enter.

... however, on expert you must take the LONG WAY AROOOOOOOUUUUUNNDDD to get to it.
(hint hint)

Hmmm, if I recall from when I played ETE...

Instead of trying to get IN the front door with the 3 guards, you need to do some Second Story work here. OK, on Expert, a lot of second story work. <IMG SRC="erm.gif" border="0">

I did... I know I need to get in the building..but I tried everything..
there is an archer there sitting on the tower. looking across ..there is a window..

put it this way.. I even managed to out the 2 guards and the archer.. I even bang the front door.. normally guards should be opening the doors and scanning the area..

There are no link to the main tower..

OK.. I will give another look around....
stacking boxes..etc.. I even found the skeleton..and rat that gave me some goodies. :)

I give up..
I tired to look for a link to the tower in the middle..

That's what I did..
up the archer tower.. there are wooden ends for rope arrow..drop down .. went round the ledge jump to the roof of the hut.. ..no go..[I still think the key is this path .. just cannot connect.. am I thick as a plank :)]

I tried all the roof tops.. but all seem to slide backward..
quite obviuosly there is an opening somewhere which must be obscure from normal line of sight..

I stand on top of the 2 skyglass panels .. look around .. I can see the window with gas lamp on the top level of the tower..

The only link I can see are the vines climbing from level 1 to the top level in a round about way but I can not climb up the vine...
I have tried shooting ropes arrow round the tower

Please give specific spoiler ..anyone
I am desperate to start another FM
thanks

TOTAL SPOILER SPELLED OUT WARNING:

Ok... here's how to do it:

- Go up to the roof where you can look down the skylights into the hall.
- Go into the look out tower and climb up (quietly) to the sleeping (if you didn't wake him) archer and knock him out.
- jump on the table with the open window.
- ready a rope arrow and lean out and look up
- shoot the arrow into the wooden post just outside the window (above)
- climb out the window and slide down the rope, but don't fall off it.
- look towards the vineyards and jump onto the wall ledge
- walk around (north) to the building with the slant roof and ledge (from here you can look into the high windows of Montague's bedroom)
- continue north to the high walls and note the ledge on it.... jump onto this
- run along the wall ledge towards the side of the defensive tower till you see the tool shed
- shoot a moss arrow on the tool shed roof and jump on it
- jump onto the ledge of the defensive tower
- carefully walk around the ledge until you bump into a XXXX and Garrett says............ (take his comment literally)

I'm gonna stop here because I think this is all you'll need.

Hope this helps! Have fun! <IMG SRC="angel.gif" border="0">

Honestly ... I did most of it... before my first post..

My problem is I kept sliding off the slanting roof.. and fall to my death..

Ok... The tool shed .. you meant the little hut with a barrel and an explosive barrel in it with 2 galss windows(breakable with blackjack ?)

I will give it another go... I was pondering on the concrete area directly opposite the 3 guards door for ages...and knowing the design..the hut directly opposite it has to do with it..

kfgecko on 16/5/2001 at 06:51

You shouldn't be sliding off the roof... cuz you shouldn't be climbing on the slippery part. Use the ledge to climb up to the flat stone part of the roof of the building.

Yeah, the tool shed is the little hut against the side of the big tower with the side windows.

Good luck...

Just finish the game...
Thanks..
I am sorry to say that I still slide off the roof ?

The only way for me to get there is using a crate..high enough to jump off the ledge and time it quickly to move up the roof !!

BTW I was right all along.. I would have finish it earlier without any posting all

I tried copious time .. at the roof ...

All in all .. the intention for this mission is a sneaky one..
Needless to say .. I knocked everyone out including servants... except 3 guards with strange helmets..

Thanks for the game...I do enjoy it ..
the graphic textures of the mission worth the download..
