I can't be the only one stuck on Room #12 - "Trials" can I? I know there must be a pattern to the navigation as I've figured out several levels I can consistently go to and return from, but... I haven't found the "prize" and I can't find my way to the ending "portal" or whatever it's called. A little help please? And does anyone know if someone has made a walkthrough yet? I've not found one on YouTube (yet). If anyone has any clues to lend, it would be greatly appreciated! Update!: I figured it out! And I've now escaped all 15 rooms! Fun!

LOL! Wow! I can't believe I missed the church! That was the very first place I explored and I thought I had done so thoroughly! But, that's the one I missed! Thank you! Now I get to see what happens next!

First, GREAT mission! Congratulations on the release! I'm playing the easy level and so far I've found 7 out of 8 cheese drop locations. I've been just about everywhere I can access prior to completing this first objective, but there is one place I suspect is meant to be accessed that I can't get into. I'm hoping for a little help from anyone who might know! The player can gain partial access to the building by removing a pallet on a roof top and finding a hole in the roof. Dropping down into the hole puts the player in a crawl space above two rooms, each with a hole in the ceiling and each hole barred by a metal grate. The player can see through the grates to see a dead guy, flies a red light, and what looks like yet another room below, in one room, and a desk, a candle, and a gold wine bottle in the other room. I've searched and searched for a button, lever, or some other kind of switch, but I've found nothing that will open the grates. Both grates have hinges, so they look like they're MEANT to be opened - and the presence of loot visible in one of the rooms makes me believe at least one of these rooms is meant to be accessed by the player. I've also looked around outside the building for a door, window, or any other kind of access, and I've found nothing so far. This is the last place I "think" I can access prior to meeting the objective of all the cheese finding their marks. A little help, please?

Wow! I can't believe I missed that!!! Thank you!

Oh! Right! LOL! The light! How could I miss that?! Thanks!

Still looking for help on how to access the other side of the three barred doors inside and the one barred door outside the Warwick Tower! Anyone?

ANOTHER mystery! In the tavern/inn there is a switch on the wall next to the door of one of the rooms which you can pass thru to get to an open window. I have NO clue what the switch does! When I frob up or down, I cannot see or hear any reaction. I don't think it's critical to the mission, but... does anyone have a clue as to what it does?

Ok... I have everything I need to complete the mission, but there is one, possibly two places I have yet to access (and presumably rob of treasure!). The first is "the other side" of three barred doors on the inside of Warwick Tower and one on the outside (from the balcony accessed via the pipe). And just recently, I've noticed that above the balcony of the art dealers building is yet another balcony that "looks" like it "could" be accessible, and there is a door there also, though I can't tell if it's one that might open or not. Any clues to these last remaining mysteries - ESPECIALLY the Warwick Tower - will be very much appreciated!

UPDATE! I've now figured out how to access all the windows and MOST of the doors! The barred doors in the tower still mystify me though. With Bromwich and the dock key in hand, I could complete the mission now, but... I wanna figure out that tower first! Any clues would be helpful!

The dock gates are opened via a switch inside a locked box mounted to the wall to the left of the dock gates. Thanks to your hint, I've now found a way to access all of the doors in the dock area, and now I too have both Bromwich and the dock key. I'm guessing the boat won't move until the gates are opened. I'm not going to find out until I've also solved the mystery of accessing the barred doors in the tower. I think those are the only remaining doors I haven't yet figured out how to access. So, I'm going to go back and hopefully figure that out before I get Bromwich outta there. Because the objective list says to do everything else first, and because I can't swim past the gates, I'm guessing opening the gates with Bromwich in the boat is the very last step before completing the mission.

And the barred door at the top of the stairs at the gang's hideout... that too is a mystery! So many barred doors! And no rope arrows to be found! Challenging... but fun!

Oh! And the barred door at the top of the steps just above where the "good" rowboat is docked? Clueless how to get to the other side. The lock box at the gang's dock - clueless how to open it! And the barred door at the top of the stairs in the "run down" apartments or whatever the building is where the golden dagger was found. I'm having troubles with all those as well! All the help you'd be willing offer will be greatly appreciated!

Hello! First, GREAT mission! I have thoroughly enjoyed ALL of your FM creations! But as usual, I'm stuck - In multiple places! I cannot figure out how to get to "the other side" of ANY of the barred doors in the tower! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Next, I cannot figure out how to get to ANY of the windows via the ropes hanging above the "good" rowboat (the boat that has not been scuttled). In fact, I can't even get TO the ropes, much less the windows! Getting up and down and in the windows above the rowboat that HAS been scuttled, I have no problem with. I am hoping once I figure that out (with some help from you?), I'll be able to find Fishend to look for Bromwich. That is the last objective (that I'm aware of) that I haven't yet accomplished. A little help, please? Or a lot?!

Hello! First, I must say this is a FANTASTIC mission! I have been thoroughly enjoying my journey through the first three chapters, and I'm now into the fourth. But now I'm stuck! I have created the necessary conduits to get around the camera/cannon issue near the elevator so that I can approach the combination lock. But I can't find any clue that might help me figure out said combination! I can't find any readable that lends a clue to the 4 digits. The book in the lobby describes the 43 windmills pumping water for 5 years creating 70 square miles of usable land, but I can't figure out any use of those numbers to come up with any 4-digit outcome that works. Furthermore, I've tried shooting a broadhead arrow at the button on the wall behind the gate. To my pleasant surprise, it works for opening the gate and activating the elevator, BUT I am then FROZEN in place! All I can do is jump, stand, and squat, but I can't move anywhere! I've tried shooting the arrow from various locations around the room and every time it's the same. The gate opens, the elevator activates, but I am now frozen in place! A little help, please?

Thank you so much! While waiting for approval to join the forum I'd actually found all these, but I thank you very much anyway, as someone else is likely to need these clues as well. Again, this has been an absolutely fantastic mission and I am already looking forward to your next!
