Finished this one earlier today, fantastic mission. And didst I hear a FenPhoenix?

Finished in 2hr 47min with max loot! The coin on the roof was very clever. ;) The last piece I found was a purse in the sewer canal in the power station.
This is the best mission so far for me, with a score of 9 out of 10. Just brilliant all around and close to a perfect cathedral mission. Much more difficult than the first two missions. Will be a very tough ghost this.
Pros:
- Perfectly sized. So many cathedrals are made way too big, but this was just right.
- Great use of surrounding locations associated with the abbey, including the various floors/levels. They all had distinct feels and easy to tell apart.
- Loved the readables and banter between various members of the hammerites. They also served to give a proper amount of hints about the keys/levers for objectives.
- Lots of alternate ways to travel between floors (vent shafts, rafters, etc).
Cons:
- The barracks section was a bit tedious and repetitive.
- Wish there had been a small area with something supernatural; in the crypt or in the old dusty library for example.
Is there a way to get into the grave seen through the wall and through the unfrobbable gate in the sewers? Since I got all the loot I sort of assume not.

I guess that counts, yes. I was more thinking of something visible or interactive.

Not every crypt has to be haunted. ;)

I know. And by the looks of it, there will be plenty of that in the next mission anyway.

Next you'll be saying not every mansion has to have a mysterious temple underneath it.

Just starting this and I'm wondering how many ways into the Abbey are there?
klatremus on 21/12/2023 at 20:30
If you mean ways into floors 1-3 (not counting basement) from the outside or adjacent buildings, then if I remember correctly at least 8.

at least 8.Thanks, but there can't be that many unless I've lost my touch! Maybe I should have been clearer, but I meant from outside the front gate, at the mission start. I can only see one way into the basement and from there the other options open up, although I've only seen a few yet. I'll check out your playthrough for pointers.
