[spoiler]Go back to the round torture room, go down the stairs. You'll be at a hall with a hammer statue ahead of you, and two doors left and right. The left door is the cell block that has what you want. Enter left door (east), and look at the bottom of the cell block. There should be several froggies jumping around, and a light mushroom near the important items.[/spoiler]

hi! im a relative newbie to fan missions for Thief, ive downloaded darkloader and got it working so i decided to download Bloodstone Prison as it had glowing reviews, but when i started playing i couldnt read the notes in my inventory as they wouldnt open and when i selected a weapon or item i couldnt see it!! For example i selected my sword and nothing was in front of me, i couldnt even hear it when i pressed ''attack''........ im using an Nvidia riva tnt2 graphics card, will this affect my gameplay in anyway? i hope someone can help :cheeky:

Uh oh, sounds like a case of convict.osm-osis. Download the file here:

Unzip and place it in your main Thief directory; it should fix the weapon problem.

Hey all, I am new to this board, but not to the game. Last month I decided to boot up Thief again, and then found a whole new world with these FM's! :D Wow, you guy's(and gal's) have done a tremendous job of building on this game! Thanks to you all!!!
Now for my topic: I am having a problem with Bloodstone prison. I was able to muddle my way through the entire dungeon without TOO many scrapes, and without any walkthroughs or hints...till I got to the...hmm, a spoiler would be appropriate now:
[SPOILER] Warden of the prison. I was POSITIVE that the hammer would do SOME damage to the guy, but after flying it by him a few times, I assumed that it really didn't have any affect...so I picked up the Holy sword and went after him - after being blown to bits quite a few times, I decided to get SMART(!) 3 Backstabs, one sideswipe and about 10 holy water arrows later, he exploded!!!...(then I quicksaved) but my objectives still said that I needed to kill the warden. :confused:
Of course I went around the entire Prison, cleaning house and destroying anything in my way like a madman looking for the solution to this including killing the Hammer ghost who opens the vault. THEN I decided to look for the evil book so I could hit that with holy water...no luck there. I even tried hitting the holy springs with my sword to see if I could bless them...well you know the story.[/SPOILER]
ANYWAYS, now that you know the story, has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a way I can finish the objectives regardless? Or should I just move on to the next FM?
Thanks!!!

Welcome to the forums, Kiech! And welcome to the world of FMs as well :)
Bloodstone Prison was one of the first missions I played as well! It seems that the only way to check the "Kill the warden" objective is [SPOILER]by killing the guy with the holy hammer. I guess that's why he explodes, to make close combat out of question.[/SPOILER]
If you haven't a savegame just before you tried killing him, you're probably out of luck then. :( Perhaps it's best to move on to another FM and come back later to this one to try it again (that's what I usually do). Happy thieving!

Welcome to the forum, Kiech Bepho! :) You've got a LOT of fun ahead of you if you've just discovered FMs and I hope we'll be seeing you here often!

Welcome fellow-taffer:cool:
If youve just discovered FMs I recommend that you play "Lorgans Web"!(If youve not played it already:cheeky: )
HAPPY NEW YEAR!:joke:

"Lorgans Web" you say? Well I was going to wait on that one since it is so big and I am on dial-up...but getting it now!! Thanks for the help guys!

If you're on dial-up, you may be interested in ordering the set of FM CDs that Komag has available at (
http://www.keepofmetalandgold.com/fmcddvd.htm) The Keep of Metal and Gold The only charge is the cost of the CDs to record them on and the cost of mailing them to you. It would save you a WHOLE lot of time, especially when you start on the really big missions, like Calendra's Legacy. :)

Back to the orignal question... you are correct:
[spoiler]Yes, you are supposed to kill the warden with the holy hammer. Unfortunately, I'm not sure why it's not working... :( never heard that happening before. Try again?[/spoiler]
