Jah - Try the other cupboard. It really is a plate! You may need to rope up a bit. That will probably be what you're missing now.

Thanks, that did it! Mission complete! :thumb:

Hi Mxleader :)
Well i'm a little late with playing a christmas story, but i think it's never the wrong time for some happy fluffy atmosphere as you created in your FM.
I had a lot of fun and enjoyed every minute, although it took me at least more than 3 hours cause i tried to solve a major problem ...
When i read the posts before i see where most of us stucked:
It's the tricky entry into the chimney over the roof of the hotel. There're two hotel places and so spent half an hour seeking Lady Ann and her key at the wrong place. After I found the clue (and i couldn't find it without some hints here) there were no chance for me to return to this roof cause the key for this small iron gate between the areas was hidden tooooooooo well ;))
but that's just my little critique and nevertheless *thumbsup* for this funny mission (one without undead...exept of the piecy one :ebil: )

I'm having fun with this mission, there's some really nice stuff in it, but it must be buggy. I have every key but none, even the gate key, will open the gate. None of them open the window on the ledge, either. That had to be bashed open. I have 2 safe keys, one for a safe that wasn't locked in the first place. The combination written on the crumpled paper doesn't open the ATM door. Does that have to be bashed open, too? I've been everywhere mentioned in this thread for loot, got all the loot from each place as far as I can tell, and am still $293 short of the $3000 objective. Any ideas? How much loot is in that ATM?

I have just played this mission which was a lot of fun.
Loved the holiday Atmosphere even getting to play it later. :thumb: :)
Nice touches in it. Loved finding Thief Gold
I could not
open the little window if it was the useful key? it did not work.
Used the sword!.
Is there a key for
the small gate opposite the Hammers place
I could not open it.
@redleaf I don't remember how much was in
ATM.It is all in the tray there. the combination should work which puts the money there.
Did you find the Thief and sea chest. The cupboard in the hotel has a plate too, ring by the pool
You have been in the vault?

@ Gillie - You'll find the small gate key above the cafe next door. There are 2 attic rooms with different access points and it's the one nearest the church.
@ redleaf - mxleader mentions the key problems in his first post. IIRC, the one key that doesn't work properly is the key for the window. The other keys have confusing names so try each key in turn. See the post to Gillie if you want to check you have the small gate key.

Gillie: Yes, yes, yes, and yes! I got all that stuff -- the combination, which is the year I was born, so easy for me to get right, did nothing at the ATM. And I did try ALL the keys on the gate and the window!
Nickie: I found all the cafe areas easily in the beginning, but nothing I found there works on the like it's supposed to. I think I'm just going to call it "game" even though I'm a few hundred short.
MX: Lots of nice stuff in this mission! Don't be discouraged by the problems. I look forward to more from you!
Gloria: You musn't give up so early! Imagine how great you'll feel when you can say, "I DID IT! I DID IT!" Plus, I think you'll like what you find below. (Sorry, no zombies, however)

Sorry to hear that Redleaf. The key found in the cafe attic worked on the small gate for others, although the useful key didn't work for anyone. You seem to have had a more buggy version than others which is a shame.
The chimney was a bit tricky, it reminded me of the famous 'ledge' but once you get the right spot it works. I hope Gloria has another go. Just come down the roof more to the right side of the chimney than the middle or left and mantle just before you reach it and it should be OK. Its a bit like the 'take one step back before you mantle' mantle! :)
Gillie on 13/2/2008 at 17:37
The mission is so good! I look forward to more too.:thumb:
I had problems with one key.
I was sure I had the key for
The small gate before. I lost a save I think
I will go back and see
As to the ATM I don't know. @redleaf had you though of reloading it.
*spoiler*
Did you find
the warehouse safe
Gloria I tried over and over for that bit as well.
Edit: I just replayed it
I opened
the window with the small gate key

I can't fulfill the Thief Gold objective. The only tree I see is the Christmas tree in the hotel, and it won't tick when I put it under it. I've tried in several different places under the tree, in front of it, etc. It just doesn't work. I even tried putting it under the little tree in the bank on the counter. Am I missing something?
