Thief 1 Mission: "Bloodstone Prison"... a Kung Fu Gecko production (Nov 24, 1999) - by kfgecko

My only problem was that I couldn't see the door at the bottom of the stairwell (that comes off the south end of the south wing) that leads into the prison area. After I found this door, I made it through the prison blocks and all of the objectives without anymore help or walkthroughs. It's just that that one spot was too dark.
This mission is great! Killing the warden's ghost was a blast! I lobbed that holy hammer right through his little windo and kaboom! However, this was after my first attempt at killing him... ...with my sword (it worked but it was fatal to Garrett)!
I really liked this mission for its atmosphere and story, but I thought the enemies were way too easy; I just went around killing them all, and their fellow undead hardly even noticed! Only once was I actually found by an angry haunt, and I just dueled him (he didn't even touch me). It's a great mission, nonetheless.

Easy opponents? I thought they were fairly tough, myself.
Do any froggie plinking while you were down there?

Not bad, it almost got all my fear of the Haunts away. I find it not 'terribly' hard since most of the Haunts you can easily backstab or jump into a effective hiding spot. Namely a pool or river. ( I'm talking about the dock part ) But the zombie that wandering around, by the Jiggiwiggi's room. I think he Bix, he look VERY VERY SCARY. I thought he was the warden, so I waited if he was an ally or not. But he punched me. Argghh, that zombie really freaked me out. Jiggiwiggi's room was fun, either though I got the admistration key before I got the holy hammer. Took me a while to figured out some stuff, good thing you released the spoilers. Excellent map KFGecko!!!! I still play this map and find it fun !

POTENTIAL SPOILERS... please read if you ALREADY played Bloodstone Prison.
I need to gather info to track down if this is a real bug or not. If you played on expert level of difficulty, and you killed the warden/jiggiwiddi/apparition guy by any means OTHER than the hammer, then I'd like to know if the objective to "destroy the warden's ghost" was checked off or not.
In testing myself (and with the beta testers), I found that the objective WOULD get checked as it's supposed to if you kill it with the hammer or by any other means. However, Tels reports that he experienced something other than that.
So, what experience did everyone else have?
Please help me figure this one out... thanks!

Test:
- play expert level
- pick your way into warden's office and read his diary for the new "kill warden ghost objective"
- kill the warden's ghost any way you can EXCEPT with the hammer
- see if the "kill warden ghost" objective is checked off
...is it?

I kill him! With Holy Sword. But it kills me. I think it is possible to kill Warden with holly sword through the window and stay alive, but i didn't tested it yet. But bear im mind, it is possible to kill him without Hammer.
Sincerely, [email]Michail[/email].

Do one backslash with the sword. Then hide in the doorframe to the vaul and lean out, put him 3 holy water arrows in the back. Wush! There are probably other ways. Well, but that didnt check the objective, so I will now try to kill him with the hammer and see if that works. Strange bug, though...

Just tried it, the hammer will kill him (plus the zombie outside, hehe its cool to see him transform into a real zombie short before exploding...) and it checks the objective. But without hammer, no objective gets checked. Uhm, i didnt try to fetch the hammer and then kill him without.
Also I do think it sounds strange when SuperHero Garrett deals 2341 damage, and receives 4 :-)
