The mission has been great so far, but I have runt into a really big problem at the area in the bank where you get the Eye of the Beholder. I came in via the sewer from the Condominium building cellar. Switched off the gas valve. Jumped over the large machine with four pipes that was blocking the entry to the area with the safe containing the eye (a real pain in the ass that was). Grabbed the eye and ..... now I'm unable to leave because it is literally impossible to get over that machine from this side! I've even tried jumping on it using the slow fall potion. To no avail. Garrett refuses to grab the edge of the machine and to climb it and the other exit from the area is blocked with a metal grate. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I have no problem with it at all. Do you have new mantle enabled?

I found it difficult sometimes but found I could get over the pipe rather than the machine itself.

I have installed New Dark 1.21, and I think that new manting works in other parts of the mission - after mantling Garrett automatically crouches for a second. However, it doesn't seem to work with that blasted machine.

Should I enable something else? The relase notes of New Dark say something about an "optional new mantling algorithm with lower failure rate", but I haven't seen that option anywhere.

Nickie, I tried it, but there's no difference. Garrett just jumps up without attempting to mantle, just like with the machine itself.

And you've tried taking a step back. I don't know what to suggest but I'd be happy to have a go for you if you want to send me a savegame.

Edit. To enable new_mantle you need to go to the cam_ext.cfg in your T2 folder and remove the semi-colon in front of new_mantle which you'll find under 'game specific' near the end.

I followed your instructions, Nickie, and it works like a charm now.

Thanks for the help, guys!

It's remarkable you got that far without it enabled! :D

I finished this morning and my only complaint is that mission 2 ended long before I made it to the Arctic. :mad: :p :cheeky:

Awesome mission(s), Sensut !
Despite the first map being really big and complicated (having to go vertically for some locations without any alternative route),
I found that the setup was excellent and my in-game notes guided me fairly well.
Finished the first mission with all objectives on Expert and 100% loot (without using DromED) in ~7 hours. :cheeky:
The last 2500 were a pain in the ass, but it was not like I missed some locations in general... no, I simply had not scoured each place well enough.
(Ok, I used The Tricksters Loot Locator and spent ~1 hour finding that remaining loot, but that doesn't really count as cheating, does it ? :cool:)

So, I really enjoyed that vast mission and the lots of exploring that it offers. :thumb:

Looking forward to sneaking past polar bears - or penguins - or whatever !
