Quite an enjoyable mission to play... Normally I'm not such a fan of mission that limit my blackjack-possibilities, but in this one it wasn't that hard....
The only problem I had was with the loot objective, which I barely managed (1846), but all in all very good...:thumb:

i thought the 1800 was a high limit, but you are an expert. i didn't really hid any of the loot very hard, i have a couple of low value items around that are tougher, [SPOILER]check out the loot page for any hints (

i would never do a blackjack limit and make it too hard to play, i can ghost the mission now on expert, but i've been playing it for 4 straight months.

A good mission Ottoj55. [spoiler]I don't usually ghost but found it quite easy actually. Putting lights to indicate whether the generator was shut down or not was a good idea as i shut the boiler room one right at the start not knowing about the whole shutdown sequence thingy. The note said someone had stolen a relic from the hammers by defeating their interlock does this refer to the talisman Garrett stole from their Catherdal in T1? The boiler room fire tunnel where Garrett must get through to the other side, was this inspired by the scene in the film 'The Rock' where Sean Connery does a similar entrance? [/spoiler]

Nice!
Though I must ask: What did I do to deserve the special mention?:p
Ottoj55 on 18/9/2003 at 15:44
yes on the boiler room fire sequence. connery rules.
the shutdown sequence starts in the basement, big deal if that one goes first, it doesn't control too many lights. the letters basic allude to the fact that the fortress is using the same set up as the hammer temple in T1/G where you have to flip switches in a certain order, and the relic is indeed the talisman.

Yeah, i beta-testedd this mission, and while i'm not normally a fan of ghosting or bj limits... [spoiler]the only people you need to worry about are otto, the unarmed guard and the lanturn guard who all go inside the main building... all the guys outside are ghostable.[/spoiler]
Great work, Ottoj55 ;)
