And a very good mission it is! I really like the ominous atmosphere and the various tricks that make it extra-creepy. :D

Important:
This mission is black. The theme is simple, if it's black, don't bother searching: you won't find any missing loot, secrets, paths or doors.

And a TG mission! Sweet! I am very glad to be home again so I can enjoy all the new Christmas presents. :thumb:

Coincidentally, I was replaying Sperry's Tears of Blood last night after I got TG working on the new PC, which also features zero ambient light. I considered doing it for DP2 (it was 0 when I got it from Will) but in the end went the more traditional route. It definitely sets the tone in this mission, though!

I am having a great time playing this one, but I am stuck!
I found the teleport coin, used it one time and got the message "it took me here?". I can't figure out what to do now. The only objective I have left is to find a way out.
I only have 1 lockpick, are there 2 in this mission?
There are a few more doors/gates I can't open, including room 21.
Plus I need help with everything bob_doe_nz mentioned in a post above (more locked doors and the skull).
Any help would be appreciated.

You can pretty much blame Tears of Blood for me choosing 0 ambient light. Good memories with that campaign, was nice to see the blue sky at the end. 40-50 minutes in the darkness and in the end, the sky really gave the feeling of "I've escaped", with birds chirping IIRC.
Getting back to this mission, anything but 0 ambient and the lantern maze wouldn't have worked at all.
Tomi had a something similar in Deadly Darkness another great T1 mission on par with Sperrys work. I must add the version of Deadly Darkness out now is no longer 0 ambient, just relight it first. Much better in 0 if you ask me.
