I think this what you mean If you can not get it. It is the thread here.
Last post of the page. :)

*** Spoiler here*** from the walk through help

You need to drop onto the first stone platform and jump from one to the next to reach the small metal hatch on the wall to the left of the pedestal (with the Water Key on it). Use quick-saves to be safe.

NOTE: There are a couple landings you'll make where you're 'hanging' off the side of the stone platform. Try to mantle up onto the rock when that happens, because jumping is sure way to land in the water!

When you reach the metal hatch, open it and frob the skull. This opens the one to the right of the Water Key pedestal, so jump into the water. Swim around the floor to collect 3 gems (3X100 : 6999 total) before mantling up onto the small rock that will lead you to the newly uncovered skull. Frob it and you'll be able to get to the Water Key. you'll have to hop back into the water and get onto the small flat rock in the southwest. Jump your way back to the starting point, then make your way back to the first skull. Now you can jump to the newly placed stone platform and from there, to the Water Key. Grab it and head back. When you return to the path to the cave area, you'll have to back up and do a quick run-jump to grab the edge before mantling up and out

Did you get it? I should have looked further page 12 here. The Blackman explains it. If I remember correctly the
Last rock should move forward

Oh My... Wow!! I fluked it, I was on the right, um correct pillar all the time,
Just happened to run, jump & do something I wasn't planning & look at that
I'm where I'm now suppose 2 B...hahaha :cheeky: Now I can move on... whew! Thought'd I'd get royally stuck here...

By the way, does anyone know where the latest, patched DromEd software
is on the web? Obviously I have the one on my British Premium Version for
Thief 2, but I'm guessing that is out-dated by now...? I wanna give it a try
in building an FM... :thumb:

Check at the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?daysprune=30&forumid=85) Editor's Guild forum. They should be able to help you out and there are several sticky threads at the top of it, including an FAQ about Dromed that you might find interesting.

[SPOILER]I need to know WHERE EXACTLY Cedric is....I have done everything in the mission including rescue the damsel and kill rowena. So allI need to do is find Cedric, but I don't know where to look. (And before anyone says anything....I DID look at 21 pages of the rowenas curse thread, but no mention of where cedric is)[/SPOILER]

Nightwalker on 21/5/2007 at 21:17

Cedric is at the Gate to Hell. I don't think he appears the first time you're there, if I recall correctly. There's a good (http://thiefmissions.com/walkthroughs/RowenaV2.html) walkthrough here if you need more detail. :)

[SPOILER] It seems that you HAVE to kill the haunt in the cemetary before cedric appears at the gate of hell.[/SPOILER]

Yes, that would be it. I knew there was SOMETHING you had to do and then come back but couldn't remember exactly what. :)

I have played Rowena's Curse recently and wish to add my voice to the chorus praising this mission. I like those "discover the dark secrets of a mansion" missions, and this was one which was exceptionally well done. A good background story which slowly creeps into the foreground while the player empties the mansion from any valuables. A large map, but not too large. Several secret passages, but not all of them had to be found in order to complete the mission. And although there are not many new textures, as far as I remember, it does not really count - the mansion just felt like an individual mansion, instead of some generic one. Somehow, everything felt realistic enough (at least for me), even with all these marble floors and a comparatively large number of guards (understandable once one knows the circumstances).

I hope Seven Sisters will be of similar quality, althogh I plan to finish some other missions first.

Thank you, Lady Rowena! (although I'm pretty late with that - the mission is from mid-2003, if I'm correct)
