How do I get to the Air temple? I've been running in circles in the water temple for about an hour now.
I've finally found it. The way to the air temple is
right where you get the water piece of the large round key, you just have to look to your right :)I'm on my way out at the entrance to the whole complex. However I haven't been able to find out where to use the
ancient library key, and where to get the
lever for the lever box behind the portcullis. Can anyone help out a fellow taffer?
Well, the
ancient library key opens the large double doors which lead to the very big spider's lair. I wasn't able to get forward with the
lever box behind the portcullis. I even tried to carry down the lever handle that keeps the hanged man on the wall in the highwaymen camp, but it didn't work. I'm completely baffled about it's location.

I thought I was pretty thorough with this one since I found significantly more loot on my second run, yet I'm still a whopping 800 short of the loot total this time around! Guess I'm going back down...
As for the lever/lever box: Find the corridor at the very top of the Pillars of Silence, there's two doorways to the south, the one at the end leads to the bridge across the big octagonal entry room. Go through the other south doorway halfway down the corridor and go down, down, down
Additional hint: Don't forget to look up!

Don't forget to look up!Thanks sub-res! I never jumped down there beacuse I thought that pit was too deep and would insta-kill me.

I spent almost four in-game hours on this level. It has a beautiful design and some very interesting enemies. My favourite was the statues riding on the back of a stone spider. It looked funny at first but the sounds it made sent chills down my spine. The rotating key and the way it lights up the gems in the walkway was cool, probably the best special effect in the mission. The morning in the forest as you come back out of the tomb is also a very nice touch, but I was ready for anything. Fortunately, I could return to the campsite in peace.
Congrats to the authors, the vastness and the details of this level are just mind-boggling, this single mission could have taken years to complete.

Probably my favorite mission in the campaign so far, the otherworldy sections were absolutely fantastic.
I managed to find a couple things that completely stumped me throughout the mission and some of them I have honestly no idea if they're red herrings or not.
The first was a hidden doorway underneath the entry stairs to the Pillars of Silence, I ran laps around the area trying to find access to it, but never did. Maybe I can get to there through the Spider Library? Thats one of the few things I've yet to try.
Second was the second doorway above the earth temple key door, I thought maybe I'd loop back to it but I never did, and I was also wondering what keeping the pedestal the key was found on pressed down actually did.
Third wassome glowing eyes behind bars on the way out after getting the earth temple key fragment, this one might just be for decoration, but my Thief sense was telling me I could get over there somehow.]
In any case this mission was a blast, returning to the forest to find that its now daylight outside was a special moment.

Because people who haven't finished the mission could be reading this thread looking for tips, I think you guys should put spoiler tags around your comments regarding the last part of the mission.
That's a special, memorable moment and I think it works best as a surprise.

Not sure if this is part of some obscure secret or just a bit of jank:
The hanging highwayman corpse is suspended from an item that, when held, is labeled as a switch handle. This resulted in my carrying it all the way down to the place where the actual switch handle is used; to my confusion.

Is holy water actually effective on anything on this mission? I loaded up on the stuff expecting a plethora of undead and don't recall holy water ever being useful.
