2. You try the wrong keys with that one.

@JackFarmer?

Spoiler

?? than i must have missed one --mmm but where ?
Shantalla´s Key is the MysteriousKey - to waterworks
Spider-Pit Key = Bone Key is the Strange Key - Waterworks to Sanctuary
at mission complete i saw 5 of 6 pickpocket - so i searched again but couldn´t find another
and neither the Pagan Guard nor the Monkey has a Key ---- So ???

Both Keys do at the first Gate !!

in addition : Heule & Acolytesix had/have the same problem !
no real problem everybody seems to go the other way

Spoiler

The two keys in question work at the first gate, because they were meant for that as stated in certain readables (it was actually a design mistake in the beta that made these keys applicable on the second gate. I fixed that during beta).

Well, my friend, there is a key for that...and apparently you never found it.  (However, opening that gate with the key would not even really help you, after all, it is well guarded from both sides...)

Yes, that is by design. Same was done in HHTA with the Jonus's recordings.

Ah ok, I never noticed (maybe because there are no subtitles ), but it's a long time ago. It makes somewhat sense. You don't want to miss these.

[Heuli]

After a long search I found the other key 

that opens the water tower 

I'm already in mission 4 and looking for the code for the elevator

Well-OOOkay found the DARK-KEY
But to be honest - (there is no hint for him) the man who wears it , is not logical - and -
how he wears it is also a bit unfair ? almost impossible to see under his axe !?
(and the letter for the Bone(Strange-)Key that leads one to the spider pit ---
is telling that this Key will open the tunnel from Waterwork to Sanctuary (the SkullArea for my understanding)
(so it is not meant that it fits for the first gate that leads to the Waterworks)

Don't mind - you want the player to use the vine arrows!
But if ( for whatever reason ) a player is forced or willing to go through the tunnel -- then ???
Okay – most of them will be blackjackers/fighters and may have found it before.
Was it in a beta that a guardian at the tunnel had an extra key? ( I've never tested this route)

tdm_end_mission will finish your current mission and permit you to move to the next.

Now how do I do that again? Some window has to open for that right?

Correct, this is for brutes who wish to create chaos and disorder and thus should not be the preferred method for a passionated ghost player.

I already wrote it above: Look in Jonus' office for a readable.

Vague hint

Spoiler

This is a complex puzzle that needs exploration of several rooms in the main building. Look out for readables in all inventor's offices.

more precise hint

Spoiler

It has to do with the "Sternbilder" in the female scientist's room.

 

[Heuli]

I saw the constellations but can't do anything with them. I was also in all the rooms nothing

[Heuli]

Thanks, I'm in mission 5, I didn't read properly because of the code, not enough coffee

[chakkman]

I just finished the campaign. Well, that was a lot of fun.  Thanks for this nice campaign. I wasn't sure if I would like it at first, as I was a bit alienated as it is quite... different. Same with the humour, quite... different.  All in all, great fun though. The only two things I missed were maps for the different missions, and, I also found the dialogues and readables lacked a bit. Also, the background of the setting could have been explained a bit more. I haven't played your other missions, so, it might be explained there.

Last mission.

Spoiler

When I activate two batteries, a dialogue begins and the room is filled with poisonous gas. I find myself trapped. What should I do?

Spoiler

There's a hatch below you. I don't want to spoil the rest.

[Drew]

Hi.Thanks.

Spoiler

The hatch and the lever on the wall are not activated

 

Edited September 14, 2024 by Drew

[chakkman]

Spoiler

I think the lever activates when you put in the fuses.

 

[Drew]

The lever doesn't work. Even after using the fuses. It's a bug?

[chakkman]

Spoiler

It has to be, unless you're using the wrong lever. 

It's on the right wall when you're standing in front of the contraption you put the fuses in.

This campaign is large enough such that each mission deserves it's own thread.

To be honest, I wanted to do that, but I didn't dare because it might have come across as a bit pretentious.

[JackFarmer]

Version 2 is now online. It just includes workarounds for the button/switches.

Now you can try whatever you want; inactive buttons/switches will not respond to brutish actions.

[CountMorillonite]

I'm on mission #2.....Should I download ver 2 and will it eliminate my progress in the campaign ?
