Clearing: the guy in the showroom has it on his belt:D

I checked all AI but can't see any keys :confused:

Can I get a hint on where to find the key to the storage room below the kitchen? and the room at the top of hte stairs, which I assume is the trophy room? did not find the key mentioned in a readable on the stairs leading to storage room in kitchen area.

update: found trophy room key, but it does not work on any door.

Mission 3. Need some help finding the key to the safe.

Ok, as someone has already said, the key to the safe is indeed on the guy who "appears" in the Showroom (after reading the book about him). However, since he is in that room to do a stock check, if you have already stolen any of the loot from there he runs down to tell the guards in the basement. So hopefuly, all being well, this is where he is

Thanks !
This is a very nice campaign so far :thumb:

Adsk1, if you don't mind I will post some minor glitches here.
Let me know if you don't want me to do so. ;)

Mission 1: The objectives require you to find 100% loot on Expert, but the mission completes already if you have like 95%

Mission 2: There is a book with emty pages in the library on the table:
CONTENT\T3\Books\English\A_Mansion_Library.sch
I corrected the font from SmallFont10 to Papyrus10.
Now I can read the book.

I'd be interested to know, besides, it'll help other players too.

Mission 1: I wonder if that's just a glitch on the Expert setting, or if completion is allowed regardless of percentage? Worth checking that one out. If I still had the editor installed I would check out the script right now. But I'll mark it down in my To Do list.
Just played through and turns out you don't need to get any loot for the level to complete. However, tested mission 2 and that works.

Mission 2: Ah, yes, SmallFont10, thought I got all of those. during build testing this font worked fine, but doesn't seem to when run from GL. Did try to change all of those before release, but obviously this one got away.

And you need to explore 100% of the map.

I am in mission 2. On the second floor - right at the top of the stairs - is a room for which I have no key.
I wonder in which bush I am supposed to find that ??

Hmmm.... while picking up the last bit of loot (that I can access so far) - the hover-text says: 100%.
But the objectives screens says : 81%. And 95% would be required to finish.
Since loot is the only objective that needs to check before I can finish, I wonder if something is going wrong here. :confused:

You know what, I never noticed any hover text with percentage in it before. Because there was so much loot on the level the Global Variable that was used for the total loot was limited to 10,000, so I had to change that to 15,000 to allow the loot total percent calculator to work properly. Obviously, if there is a hover percentage it must be using a different GV for this.

That door is access to the attic, which I never did. So you never go up there.
My plan was to have a caged Kurshok warrior in there that was the Mansion owners prized possession. But I had problems with the level causing the game to crash to the desktop on loading no matter what rooms I added, even though I still had about 500K of memory usage. In the end I had to admit defeat.

Forget about those doors. At least I haven't found any key for them either - and for sure you don't need to open them.
But it seems you missed the key in the room with the letter addressed to Jarvis.

Damn keys are difficult to spot! Should have perhaps increased their Draw Scale.

I need some help on mission 3 I can't seem to make any progress on getting into the auction house. I am discovered any route I take the elevator, stairs or the first door that I come to. Is there a secret entrance? Any help will be great! and thanks:confused:

EDIT:I have found my way by using many saves to get by the guards

You can knock out the guards! Which would give you free reign of the level.

The trophy room is on the ground floor between the Cloakroom and the Basement door. That readable is referring to the stairs that you used to come up from the basement the first time you entered the Mansion proper. It is underneath, behind the barrels.

Mission 3: I can not find where the helmet is being held. The only place I have not been is in the room in the basement that has 2 guards:confused:

The helmet is indeed past the room with the two guards in, and the hallway is dark enough to sneak through without them seeing you. However, you can't get the helmet until you have opened up the secure doors. But you will be able to see it.

Can't find the auctioneers prized gavel.
