#2 (one of them - there is the whole wing marked as #2).

Part 2, Largo. Cannot find the maul in the south wing despite a long search. Been over and over all the sensible places then all over the illogical ones but no sign of it. Slightly north of the south wing there is a strange very large block of bricks in front of a doorway and another on the other side. I tried to wriggle in there but without success. Presumably that strange arrangement will be explained later but it seemed a good place for a sledgehammer to be left lying around. I've been around and below that 'room' to see if there is some other access but I can't find any. The clue said he'd 'seen it' in the south wing so I assumed it was lying around after some building work had been done. I mean, he's not going to 'see it' if it is hidden away somewhere.
A hint would be appreciated.

Location of Maul - on all difficulties
Sorry Fidcal - pushed the button too early! Also meant to say in Rm opposite external door in South Wing.

Zontik wants some (short) feedback for his efforts? Here's mine:
This FM is the biggest blunder in Thief FM history in many years. Sure, it may be the most beautiful FM to be released in many years, but the sad fact is that many players will never get to see the beautiful parts of this due to horrible design decisions and rampant doses of frustrating game elements.
This FM starts with the player travelling through...mountains, I guess, to reach a castle. First design failure can be seen the moment the FM starts: Every visible surface uses the same texture. That single mistake makes navigating the area much harder than it should be, not to mention making it all look bloody hideous. It's hard enough already to know where you're supposed to go, with punishing leaps of faith, insanely well hidden pathways and almost no hints to tell you you're on the right track. Early on I saw a ghost standing on a rock (I actually missed him the first time round) shaking his head. I had no way to know if he was telling me "This is the right way to go" or "This is the wrong way to go", so I wasted time looking for other paths.
30 minutes into this FM I'm stuck at a cave with a rope arrow in a chest, a suspicious looking tree nearby located too far up to be of any use to me (yes, I checked) and no apparent way to proceed, so I logged into this forum to see how other people were doing with this FM. It confirmed my suspicions: You screwed up. Badly. How this FM got through the testing phase is a mystery to me.
I'm not going to wait for a walkthrough, I'm just not going to bother playing this any longer. It's not worth it. Congratulations, you created the Daikatana of Thief FM's.

Part 2, Largo. Can't see what to use the maul on. I see a ventilation grill in the kitchen but way out of reach. In the larder/freezer? there is something in the ceiling but again I can't reach it. Also looked up the dumbwaiter shaft but can't reach anything. I've tried the maul on both the dumbwaiter buttons without response. I'm assuming I am looking for something that will highlight?
Another hint please? :)
