This gate cannot be opened, it's there for decoration.

Och, it looked so promising ;) Thanks!

This quickly became one of my favourite missions, so full of atmosphere and so many places to look for loot, info and other items.
Once I had completed the first playthrough, I immediately hopped onto a second. That says a lot, since I still have half a dozen TDP20AC missions left to play.
The super-fast fire creature is creepy and dangerous, but I managed to get rid of it by convincing it to fall down into that pool of deep water. Being fire based, that wasn't good for its health...uh, undeath...;)
After looking everywhere I can think of, I've found 8 relics and 4500/4790 loot.
There has been talk about several loot items in readables. At least five, of which I have found two (purse in stables, stash under crate on Eldridge Street). Are any of the following findable?:
- Coins dropped down a well "near Barrow's end"
- Lady Harrington's Ring (I may have this one, if it's the one next a healing potion on a platform between two chests in what looks somewhat like a small manor)
- Serpentyle Torc

I don't remember about the coins in a well, so it must be for a readable and nothing else.
The ring is on an undead at the beginning of the mission, in the pit where they dump corpses.
The Torc is a reference to the OM, can't be found in this mission.
Good luck on your hunt!

Yes, there is indeed
a ring on one of the corpses on the street below the thieves' dumping place. Only missing 190 now.
I re-read the note about the
coins. It was Haskell who said to his mates that he had dropped the coins down a well! That was of course a lie - they are in his purse.

This was special.
The ruined city was epically conceived. Incredible complexity and detail. The wonder is that none of it felt ad hoc or off the cuff. It all felt meticulously planned down to the last brick, block, and mushroom. I love missions that require and encourage vertical exploration as well as lateral. And such exploration was often rewarded. I loved the placement of the loot items. I finished with just short of 4000 loot, and I felt that I had done pretty well.
The zombies were frustrating at first, then not so much.
Very professional feel to the whole thing: design, balance, objectives, all of it.
Kudos!
Another one of those "Best ever!" missions.

Finally got around to this, and it is something special. The title is well-earned... others have complained it's too labyrinthine, but for me it's just perfect. I like my Thief missions more than a little mazelike, and this was just right: interconnected and large enough to feel daunting at first, but with enough distinction in each area and enough landmarks to give my brain something to latch onto. The map is neither too detailed nor not detailed enough. (I'm glad the zombies didn't mess up the street signs or my map might have been useless, heh.) I love the feeling of being given a big area to explore with nothing but my compass, a map, and my wits to help me out and this scratched that itch in spades. What a pleasure too, with so much though and detail and care put into every area. My favorite undead mission I've played so far.
By the way, I especially liked the verticality of the mission. Not quite a true Thieves Highway in the Sealed Quarter (which would be an awesome mission, actually) but still.
10/10

When you open the power station gate and activate the power, there is 2 gates that opens, one obove the power station, and other to the west, go above, and then head to east to find Coghill Market, see it on map.would you mind being more specific about "going above"? this is a fantastic mission, though I've been running around for hours looking to get into the Coghill & Scrappers.

Fantastic mission, DrK! This is what The Haunted Cathedral should've been, as that is definitely not my favorite mission from TDP.
Finished with no hints in 3 hours 49 minutes over three evenings. Found
4690 out of 4790 loot, so missing 100. Are any of the
undead that spawn after taking the main objective carrying loot, like a purse? If not, I might be missing a ring somewhere, although I did find
4 and they were all quite well hidden. Perhaps a gold nugget, I only found
1 of those. Those can be hard to spot in dark caves. Other than that, diamonds are worth 100 and I only found
2 at the very end, in the eye sockets of a skull in a shrine.
Loot list is (
http://klatremus.org/TDP20AC/TDP20AC_LostAmongForsaken_L.htm) HERE, if anyone care to check what I missed. It might of course be several pieces.
No direct spoilers please, only loose hints!Thanks :)
