Didn't experience any obvious problems in Mission 1 - gems puzzle / scripting worked fine :thumb:.
On returning to Mission 1 from Mission 2 (wondering if I'd missed some useful power ups to carry over to Mission 2) I did find an important, shaped item I'd missed and is needed to help solve a puzzle in Mission 2.. Finished Mission 2 (2895/3470 loot and 3/5 secrets GORTTUFF ) but have gone back and would appreciate a nudge with 2 of the optional Mages' crystal quests . I have Earth and Air but am stumped for what to do for Water and Fire :confused: . I don't remember these being part of the original mission - or at least not the level I played :cool:
Just going to start "Urgent Get Away" mission - looking good!

@ Sagittal
Getting the Fire Gem is easier than you might think. Remember what the Fire Mage said. "The entrance to our guild may be the beginning to the path. But in the end, we must take our own narrow path. Would you please light the path to the end of our guild?" Be sure to have flares on hand.
As for the Water Gem, this could be a bit tricky. Pay close attention to the pipes in the basement. Water can be your friend on this.

Thanks GORT :thumb: - lordhern had told me much the same in a pm so I was able to finish the fm successfully :cool:. I had in fact lit the path already but was then confused when my efforts were then extinguished immediately - I thought there was something else I needed to do first (and the fact I had just used my last flare I decided to reload my save game).
Finshed the 3rd mission now 7515/8205 loot, 6/9 secrets. Quite a ride, found the eye, got my large nugget & helped a drowned child. Had to guess 2 digits of a code - I wonder if I missed a clue? The child seemed to take a while with me to start her conversation so patience may be needed and she ignored my gift the first time but going through the whole sequence again it was fine. I am not good enough to ghost missions so was pleased in mission 3 there were just enough useful weapons to find.
Many thanks for rereleasing and adding to the mission set - had a great few hours playing.

I really love the third mission! Very proud/surprised to find 9/9 secrets. However, I'm only at 6940 loot and have not "solved" the statues-on-the-roof puzzle. Does this result in obtaining the "large nugget" of which Sagittal spoke?
Any hints as to how to unlock the statues would be most appreciated! Until then, I'll keep snuffling around like a truffle pig!
Thanks!

Ahh, no... I was just happy to get out of the second mission alive! If
helping the mages in mission #2 is necessary for the
statues in mission #3, I will have to build up the courage to go back to mission #2! :D
Thanks for all the work on these; challenging, interesting, and fun!

need a spoiler for mission 3 please i need combo for statue after i use key to show keypad
also where do i use tarnished red key?
GORT on 21/9/2022 at 05:09
Here, I'll give you these hints.
1.) For that number pad, the clue is in the house that has a gold skull on the bottom shelf. Take a good look at the objects beside it.
2.) For that tarnished key, the clue is in a book near where you've started the mission.
downwinder on 21/9/2022 at 05:41

also i read book about something in south west part of wharehouse,only thing i found was a orb floating in air,was not able to frob it? so did i read wrong book to use red tarnished key?
