[SPOILER]when you go to the lab just follow the ledge around the corner and that will gain you entrance to the building you mentioned.[/SPOILER]
Lost city? where can I find this?
Thanks.

Lost City, less specific:[SPOILER]If you read the book, at the end of it you will get a clue for the Lost City.[/SPOILER]
Specific:[SPOILER]Grab the potion, use it, shoot the rug, turn around.[/SPOILER]
RE: getting into the area below the Gallery: [SPOILER]Do you mean the little square of wood in floor of the inventor's shop with all the boxes over it? I thought it might be a secret door or something, but couldn't find a switch.[/SPOILER]
EDIT: [SPOILER]Found the switch, just ended up in the vault again. Found another key in there, though, and got the Horn Of Quintus. Yay. That makes a total of four boxes I was able to open. Duh. I swear I tried picking those doors below the gallery before and it didn't work. Anyway, I got in. [/SPOILER]

I have been running around in this level for hours now. I'm not anywere near the place you are talking about (the Lost City).
I have had enough of this key hunt!

What in the name of jh builder do I do now that I have the two fake sun masks ? Anyone find the real one ? With the exception of wraping up this last objective this was a very clever mission - maybe a little too clever . This mission had alot of nice little details and packs alot of gameplay into a small area . If the author is any different that Emile Victor's , I'd be highly surprised .

I'm stuck on this mission after over an hour of play, and only because I can't find enough loot on Expert. All other objectives are completed. I'm about 1500 short, so there must be something major I'm missing. I haven't been able to open all the lockboxes in the vault, is that where the rest is? Any other secret loot I could have missed?
This mission has some cool parts and details, but I found it hard to figure out what I had to do next in order to proceed. Even now I'm not sure what I did to make some things happen. And all those keys! Would've been nice to have them disappear from the inventory once they had been used. I ended up having to try them all on almost every locked box I found, since I didn't immediately think of dropping them after they'd been used. :p
Concerning the talismans:
[SPOILER]I'm not sure, but I got the impression you need the talismans in order for some of the doors in the Lost City to open. I remember one of those sliding doors wouldn't open at first, but once I'd found another of the talismans I could pass.[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]I didn't find that the talismans did squat . I had all the doors open after blowing the top off the obelisk only to find another useless sun mask [/SPOILER] :p :sweat: :p
Morrgan on 12/3/2004 at 23:31
Heh, I never tried blowing the top off the obelisk, so can't say anything about that. But you only found a fake mask? Odd. The one I found up there was the real one. Are you playing on Expert too?
bdkl on 12/3/2004 at 23:47
Yep . It looks like we found a bug in this one . Crap .:p

I was playing on Expert and was unable to find the "real" mask, either. Morrgan, was the one you found in the [SPOILER] highest set of rooms in the Lost City the real one? That was just another copy when I picked it up. [/SPOILER]
I found enough loot to complete the loot objective but not all of it. I'm almost 800g. short of what's listed as available. I didn't keep track of the loot this time through, but found several tiny rings that would be easy to overlook. Also [SPOILER] a gold goblet tucked in under a barrel in the water by the docks. [/SPOILER]
I'm giving up on Expert and starting over on a different difficulty setting to see if I can find the Mask on one of those.

A little birdie has just told me that if one " a) drops the fake mask first, or b) drops both sun masks and only picks up the real one " that the objective will tick off . Personally I've had no sucess , I'll try doing this in the gallery . :erg:
