I didn't find the super mature secret that Vikare pointed out in an earlier post. Any hints to its whereabouts?
Hint:
In high elevation, around the marketmaster's area.Super spoiler:
Climb behind the green towers opposite the marketmaster's mansion, the rail between the the towers can be mantled.

Thanks, that was pretty each to find with only your first hint. Found 3 more pieces of loot at the
Marketmaster's; 2 of which were quite clever, and similar ;). Also an
apartment above the junction station that I forgot to visit after getting
a rope arrow, where I found 4 more loot pieces.
6368 out of 6592 now, missing 225. I'll go through the
sanctuary and the
sewers one more time, then post the list and move on to the next mission. Think I'll try Psych0sis' contribution next. :)
Questions:
Can you get through here?

http://klatremus.org/uploads/intotheodd7.jpgDoes this valve do anything? I was so sure it opened the
crayman cage beyond the window that I was almost insulted when it didn't.

in the basement lab at Balnebrich's, there are what looks like two Thief 1 version cameras that can be frobbed, but doesn't do anything. It almost seems like you can use objects on them, but I haven't read any hints about this. I suppose they are just decorative, but please correct me if I'm wrong. See (http://klatremus.org/uploads/intotheodd5.jpg) here.

You can't get through that underpass, and the valve doesn't do anything (it's an oversight).
The cameras work like spyglasses and should allow you to see certain places. They work with Squirrel script, so it might be related to that.

I wasn't a huge fan of this mission when I first started out but I warmed up to it pretty quickly, to the point where it's one of my favourite missions from this contest. There's just so much going on that it's hard to find much fault with it, maybe other than how linear it is in parts. Also, I did have some issues where AI was so sensitive that it detected me across an area from behind- I'd peek out just enough to expose myself in the light and they'd suddenly turn around and shoot me or raise the alarm. I used all my flashbombs because of that, and had to kill people that I wouldn't have ordinarily.
Just an alert, it's possible to do a sequence break the first time you visit the sanctuary by mantling on one of the buildings near a statue and climbing up from there. You can't get super far without the lockpicks, but you can explore a lot more than you're supposed to and get a fair bit of loot early on.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that despite the ZIP being fixed, the readme still doesn't work through FMSel. I had to manually go into the folder and read it there.

Ok, so I'm done looking for the last 225 loot for now. Searched the
sanctuary and the sewers over again, but nothing. Find the (
http://www.klatremus.org/TMA20AC/TMA20AC_IntoTheOdd_L.htm) LOOT LIST HERE. Perhaps someone can guide me in the way of what I'm missing. I suspect it's somewhere in town. No direct spoilers please!
A few more questions though:
Can you get through this gate? I believe there was a guard being chased by a zombie there at one point. I can't recall if this is where I went before part of the sewers got sealed off.

http://www.klatremus.org/uploads/intotheodd9.jpgAnd then there is the guard visible through this peephole. I assume it is just a tease, but no way to get there.

http://www.klatremus.org/uploads/intotheodd8.jpgLastly, at the
sanctuary in the room where you found the
old key, there's what seems like a
spike trap in the ceiling. I found no way to set it off though. Am I missing something there?
Thanks again for a brilliant ride!

To my knowledge, none of those places are accessible; there is also no loot hiding there.
As for loot, I think you're missing at least one more piece in Streets, West section.

I am stuck in the underground city where the ghost with glowing eyes, the shapeless spawn and the monster with the giant meat cleaver on its back roam. The shaft where I previously roped up into the mansion is blocked by a boulder now and I cannot find a way back to the surface through either the underground aqueduct or the sewers.
klatremus on 4/4/2020 at 06:44
Username: Have you found the sanctuary key yet. If no, it is found in a bedroom above the meat cleaver beast. If yes, you can you that on a gate on the top walkway close to where glowy-eyes patrol. Through there, look up and that should be your way out.
Marbleman: I scoured those streets like a maniac, but no more loot. I might need a better hint. Is the piece inside or outside?
DirkBogan on 4/4/2020 at 06:45
Username: I'd be embarrassed to tell you how long I got stuck in the same spot when I tested this mission: past the mummy that should be hanging around your previous exit path, you should see a gate. In the room past that gate is the other exit. If I remember correctly, you can either unlock that gate with the Sanctuary Key, or loop all the way back around past where you entered the Sanctuary this second time.

It's inside. Another hint, which will probably make it quite easy to find:
it's a little wet. :D
