Yes I must have got it that long ago. I noticed death stage 12 early on but I've found this occasionally with Mission 4 of my own missions and found that if I quicksave, exit to the Windows desktop then quickload it disappears! I don't understand it as there was no trace in my mission in Dromed.
I have a walkthru but don't want to use it unless I have to but... Got four element keys, got Rowena's key, found message in library saying the big gate key 'here' but it's not! I am hoping that it is stolen by someone in the game and not a fault? Can't get in cemetery yet. Have re-read readables a couple of times but can't think where holy sword might be or that soandso key! I am about to try to 'remove' all the guards near the main gate and see if I can pick that lock. Maybe I can get in cemetery that way? What have I overlooked?

Rowena's key opens the four doors at the bottom of the 4 secret passages in the white, blue, red and yellow rooms. Better to do this first. ;)
For the Holy Sword: you have to return in the caverns, passing through Rowena's room. Frob the skull on the wall in front of where the big spider was.
Forget the cemetary for now.
edit: I missed that you already have the elemental keys. :o
Go to get the Sword, then on to the gate to hell! :ebil:

OK thanks. I had previously gone back to that skull but it wasn't frobbable so I decided it was just decorative. But I've done things since so hopefully it is now frobbable. Hope that big gate key is there as well! Yes, those four elemental key sub sections where amazing especially the water and the air which were quite magical! I couldn't believe what I was supposed to do. I thought No way! Ha Ha! What fun!

The skull was frobbable also "before". You only had to go very closer. :)

Finally finished after many days of play but did not find the final key without resorting to the walkthru. I think I missed a turnoff. I was rather busy sneaking for my life. But awesome mission, story and build up to the grande finale. Started mission using stealth but mansion so big and without the map I kept getting lost so resorted to wholesome use of the cosh. Might replay this ghosting but I'll get the map version first! Now one of my all-time favourite missions! :thumb:

It's great to see people are still playing this mission, I fall even more in love with it every time I play it. :D Every time I see it in Darkloader I get an impulse to play it, and half the time I do. I probably have every square inch memorized by now. :o

Hey! I got the map version now. Luxury! :cheeky: Quite delicious to see where everything is in relation to everything else. I blundered round lost right to the end before! Also the story only really soaked into my brain fully near the end as you pick it up in bits and pieces out of context.
Did you ever ghost it or play it stealthy all through with minimal KOs? I just started and the first guard has to be pushed out of the way so not strict ghosting I guess but the washroom opposite seems impossible without two KOs. One might not go in there I guess but one would not know that. Anyway, got diverted with ten other things so can I find time to take on this formidable challenge?:eek:

I am going to have to play the mission again now.
It is wonderful. One of my favourites too :thumb:

WOW!! I can't believe I TOTALLY missed downloading this FM back in 2003, or 2004, or.. U get the idea. Awesome FM !!! I'm stuck on only 1 thing... In
the cave-lagoon where the water key is I can't seem to hook on to the last
pillar where the 1st hatch is :confused: It's very confusing. Where am I
suppose to aim Garrett,...Exactly ? ?

I think you have to jump there from another pillar if I am not mistaken.
