This was my first "favorite" FM because of the falling snow, instead of rain ;)
Since "Stronghold" all snow missions have been my favorites. Not so much the ice monsters that work like the tree beasts. But snow is fun :)

Just replayed this, mostly because I am currently playing several old missions where I have missing loot, now that I have TTLL and LazyTaffer to help me.
I had completely forgotten how wacky this mission is! Wacky in a good way, mind you.
From the cozy hideout, the extremely annoying (and ultra skilled) Sundance Kid-esque ape artillery, to the Haunt-Mech brawls, to the insane load if equipment you have, to the two tree areas where it is oh-so-easy to slip and plunge to your death and finally the stronghold itself. Got a bit annoyed that there was a point of no return that messed with my loot hunting, but another replay solved that.
I have two loose ends I want to ask about:
Just before you ride down the big elevator platform to the entrance of the stronghold proper, there is a smaller elevator with a lockbox next to it, and a readable that says who you should see (someone I can't remember) for access. I could not pick this lock and the stronghold key does not work on it. Is there a key for this elevator somewhere? Is this elevator working, and if so, where does it lead?
My second loose end concerns loot. I have found 1105/1405 and I have figured out that 250 of the missing 300 is tied to five unfrobbable wine bottles (3 in the attic of Garrett's cabin and 2 in the stronghold servants' dining room.). The last 50 is tied to a flute that seems to be located very close to two other loot items (statuette and crystal) in the watery pit that has some pagan ghosts next to it. I can not find this flute on the bottom of that pit. I even tried to use the icon shrinking trick to see if it could be blind-frobbed from the bottom of the pit. No go. According to the Lazy Taffer coordinates, it looks to be located slightly lower than the two other loot items, so maybe it's too far embedded in the rock to be obtainable, or maybe it is also unfrobbable? Anyone that knows this?

Where do I find Shieldbreaker? I've looked everywhere, in the Mechanist area, the Hammer banner room, etc, but found nothing
