Re:
floating jade idol...
Gentle hint:
There's a reason there are moss arrows at that location.Full hint:
Shoot moss arrows at the four circles on pillars at the base.- prjames
I couldn't find enough
moss arrows, but it seems
you don't really need them.
Just climb up to the top of one of the pillars, then jump up to snatch the idol from out of the sky, so to speak. You'll take a little damage on the way down, but it works.

this mission an absolutely tremendous accomplishment!
I've spent nearly 2 hours in mission 1, and over 3 hours in mission 2 and was continuously impressed (even when terrified)
While I could simply leave now, I have a couple lingering questions:
there is a footlocker in the women's servant quarters I can't open; where do I find the key?
does the last will of Myron Blackwell need to be put somewhere?

Footlocker - you need to do something with JimJim.
Lat Will - put it on the table of hotel owner iirc
MrMunkeepants on 29/12/2020 at 05:56
I put Jimjim in the furnace, he cursed at me and turned into a fruit but no key...

That makes perfect sense, but I forgot about that location :rolleyes: I'm still getting turned around
michael a on 29/12/2020 at 05:57
MrMunkeepants, it's another way of solving JimJim's quest - by putting him on the servant's bed iirc

This two-parter from the TDP 20th Anniversary Contest in 2018 was a big factor in getting me back into Thief again. I now played the update to version 2 as well.
Meeting at the Salty Strumpet
Normal difficulty
2 hours and 7 minutes
1596 of 2604 loot
Loved everything about the mission, especially the new additions. I struggled with the loot goal, even after finding 2/3 of the jade idols. I had to go back to the woods to find more coins scattered around the grass. I also needed a hint because I missed the mandatory secret.
The Scarlet Cascabel
Normal difficulty
2 hours and 39 minutes
4023 of 5650 loot
7 of 16 chesspieces
Highly atmospheric and beautifully designed, an absolute masterpiece. I often stopped just to enjoy the view. If I have time to go back to this mission: I will try to get into room 7, open the door hidden behind a cupboard near the observatory, and get all the chesspieces. The only element in The Scarlet Cascabel v2 that distracted from my experience was the silly "Jim Jim" room. It is a weird contrast between the frightening atmosphere in the sealed wing with its decrepit hallways and scenes of gore and then the silliness with "Jim Jim".
One question to the authors: The ghost of Elizabeth Blackwell and the evil entity both appeared as colored mist when I played v2. I seem to remember they had visible bodyparts in v1. Was this changed? If yes, why?

Really cool campaign so far. I'm still on mission one at this point, and I'm wondering some things:

For
the attic room:Hint:
Did you find anything else in that room?Spoiler:
Use the holy water on the bones.What
bones are being referred to in this message?
Also, what does the key I found in the
room with the music box go to?
Thanks for a wonderful mission!
