Well I've eventually finished this extraordinary mission with all objectives complete plus 2 x bonus objectives and 6450g. Simply put this is one of the best missions in recent years and that's saying something bearing in mind how many superb missions there have been recently. The map is staggeringly good, a complex city with multiple pathways, hidden locations everywhere, vents leading from one building to another and double backing on yourself until you are so confused your head hurts. How anyone is meant to find everything, especially all the loot, in their first playthrough is any ones guess, but wish them the best of taffing luck.

Lord Taffer you have excelled, thank you.

I agree with the comments Great Mission and Thanks!!! But I can't see the connection to TDS in another contest mission there is the loot glint and the blueish haze by area transfers?:confused:

Don't get me wrong I have enjoyed this very much!!:eek:

I'm 4.5 hours in (game-time, RL time is easily twice that) and just broke the 77% mark on total loot found, and I'm missing the Azure stone. I have all the other objectives completed.

Interesting things I've found:

# A scroll about how it's nice to "climb up here to relax".
# Another scroll referencing "The Whistling of the Gears" and trying to find "the edge of the world". (I get the feeling finding this may have unlocked something elsewhere. Can anyone confirm/deny?)
# A readable about how Captain Harrigan's perservence means that even the highest of apartments are not safe from him.
# A floating scroll, hidden in plain sight of everyone.
# A cup that can only be frobbed via a very long drop.
# The one place that can only be accessed via crate ladder... and fortunately doesn't contain anything. (Open ceiling space with visible machinery, in a room with a light gem stuck on the wall, in the Southeast corner of the map.)

Places I've yet to reach:

# The section of the museum under the glass floor.
# The thief high up to the far central south part of the map.
# The archer high up in a (clock?)tower in the northeast part of the map.
# The 'intruder' painting (wherever that is).
# What appears to be a piece of loot in a circular niche on the south side at the very top of the building between Sir Darklon's and the pub. (How the heck does one get up there?)
# The big fire high up in the Southwest-section. That floating skull is probably the key, but I've yet to put serious work into riding it.
# The door with the fancy elemental lock in the museum.
# Inside the tunnel at the east end of the lava river, the one where a guard is patrolling back and forth.

This FM is phenomenal. I'm having way too much fun with this one.

if i remember right the key for mr dark is in the museum area where you get one of the gems, the rest is done from mr dark place like 3 ways out once down there

and to access museum i think you go north from start, up high as you go then you flip a switch to open a grate to a lower area then to museum, you will enter in center of museum bottom floor


i got lucky on finding museum first then mages then mr dark along way a ton of things to find :), i am still missing a lot and will go back to explore more


a true master piece in my view so much to do and explore from street level up high thieves highway and a great size underground stuff all over
