Amazing levels of detail in the architecture in this mission!
But I just opened that chest in the guards' quarters. I'm done. That's a really horrible surprise, and it's ruined my day :(

I am at the guild. Found and used the room of statues key and got the hand and used it. I also found the hall of idols key, but have no clue where to use it.

I play this mission now. So far I just beat city part at the very beginning and opened door to opera. The city has proper length, but unfortunately exploration isn't rewarding. Most of optional paths ends with no reward at the end. Which is disappointing. Finding the path to the opera was confusing. I explored the city to find at the end well lighted square. I saw that there is something behind wall. So I pushed barrel to it. It took me 10 min. And at the end the wall wasn't even climbable. This really confused me. But it is partially my fault that I didn't notice a scroll that I started with. I hope that opera is better designed.
Weird thing: why I start the mission on Expert with slightly more money to shop than on Hard?
Another thing: I have objective to not get discovered more than 5 times when in Mage Guild. Does that mean I need to ghost this area with less than 5 KO? Or does that mean I can KO all of them but just not get spotted? Anyone knows?
And a question about getting to the opera. Does servant really KO-ed guards by farting?

@ Belter
Hall of Idols key Check upstairs balcony overlooking the lobby, there's a line of statues protecting something.
@ Galaer
The objective to not get discovered more than 5 times when in Mage Guild has a purpose for later on in the mission, yes you can KO them, it's being seen by a Mage that counts towards the 5.
And no, no farting, but a gas mine.

@Galaer:
Is this the door with the 3 guards before? I can not believe that's the only entrance or am I wrong?

I've knocked out the Rogue Mage in the 'converted' opera house and put him in the guard's bunk room in the same building, but that objective won't tick off. I can't see that anything has fallen off him. What am I missing please?

How do I get out of the room of statues after taking the Hand of Glory? What kind of item do I need to put in the pedestal?
PS: Okay, nevermind. I knocked out a guard and put his body on one of the teleporters.

Thanks :) I cant figure out why i missed that. I was sure that i had seen one more of those locks.
Now i ask the same question as Marbien.

@ Marbrien & Beltzer
It's not a rogue Mage but a guard in disguise you need to find, you also need to drop him on a specific bed in the barracks.
@ Aemanyl
Well that one didn't come up in beta testing :D
There's an object in one of the training rooms that you are meant to use.

Fortuni, the best proof that Thief teaches you problem-solving :D.
I found several bugs:
- in the warehouse, there is a Hammerite stuck in the elevator,
- in the Guild's library, you can get stuck between two bookshelves in the corner,
- during my second run, those guards in front of the opera house didn't immediately drop down, I had to knock them out manually. Interestingly it all worked fine when I played the mission for the first time,
- on one occasion, I reloaded a quick save from the Guild and the screen went black, I had to load it again and the problem was solved.
Thanks for the mission, GORT & team. I really enjoyed playing it and I appreciate your enormous effort. I might write a short review later on.
