As far as I remember, it is not possible to open this wall from the city side. You can reach it from the other side and pull a lever or something like that. To get to that side of the wall, you have to get into the room where you get rid of your main opponent(s), the
ritual room, and from there you can take an easy-to-miss second way out which brings you to the other side of that wall.
You're right! The first time
I was busy trying to escape from all those creatures while carrying the anex. Plus, the gamma slider in the options didn't do anything, so certain areas appeared a little too dark during the whole mission. (I've just managed to fix this by enabling software-based gamma and color processing in cam_ext.cfg.) Thank you!

Likes like something wrong at your end, just checked and the scroll is good with me. (played via W11 + ND_1.27e)
Edit: MbyT links updated to v_1.1

I have the same problem in this mission with readables . I assumed it was perhaps because of an incorrect set-up of my system or because it's an old computer and Win7. :(

Is it normal that the readables are so hard to read? I don´t think it was like that the last time I played it..

yes, this is a known issue in the original (1.0) release of the mission. it happens when a mod installs a new font (such as the antialiased ones, i believe) for the 'parch' book type. in version 1.1 of the mission, this has been fixed so the problem does not occur.
you can manually fix it in the 1.0 version of the mission, if you need to, by deleting the 'parch' subfolder in the fm's 'books' folder.

Thank you! :) Unfortunately under the download link in the "kamyk´s mission by type thread" the 1.0 version is linked. It should be changed to the 1.1 version.
Edit: Removed old link to avoid confusion. Fortuni updated the link in the kmbtt.

Thanks vfig :thumb:
I deleted the parch folder as you mentioned and all is well. :)
If I had read all the first post in this thread I would have seen your update links but I blindly clicked the link at the top of that post which goes to SouthQuarter. Doh!

In general, this problem may also happen if a mod installs a different image for the pages of a readable without installing a font that fits it. I think I have seen it with some versions of the Enhancement Pack 2 and readables of type "parch" and "parch3".

Just finished, going to play again to find most of the secrets! Holy hell is that a record for the most secrets in a FM? Really fun to play, great voice acting, nice story, loved the town layout. My only complaint, I got stuck on door frames twice, I was dark thank god, as a hammerite walked past me, took advantage of the situation.

Just finished this FM on Expert is a bit less than 3 hours.
Around 2500 Loot and 15/24 Secrets
For me, it's a 4,5/5 stars !
I've had a lot of fun with this one. Definitely not the most impressive on a technical aspect, but the level design is smart and fun to play.
I've loved the variety of places to visit (City, Hammerites, Manor, Caves...) - However, like several taffers said on this thread, it would have been even better with more places to visit.
I understand you've been trying to bring back that T1 OM atmosphere, which is a total success to me.
However, I'd love so much to play this same mission NewDark style, with a more detailed city, more places to break into, appartments, shops, etc. A V2 would be completely relevant (like for Scarlet Cascabel for instance)
I took time to read this whole thread, and I'm impressed by all the alternative solutions you've been thinking about for the different puzzles and situation. Extremely smart and creative, congratulations for that !
I also loved the view from the top of the mountain, even if it was looking a bit empty, it was impressive and unique.
Actually, I've found several unique/new situations in your mission and I'll remember playing it for that. The Anax being a human is super smart as well, even if it makes the mission unghostable :p
After playing if, I have two questions :
1 : I found a Sanctuary Key on the sleeping Warden - This key seemed only able to open a small part of the top floor room containing a few weapons and I didn't find anything special inside.
Did I miss something ?
2 : I freed a prisoner in the basement. Didn't find him again in the mission. Was he supposed to be somewhere, or related to any secret/bonus objective ?
Anyway, Thanks vfig for creating this FM ! One of my recent favorites for sure :thumb:
