Need help: The Seventh Crystal

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.thief-dark-project (More info?)

1. I can't find the key to get into the War Museum. I assume this is where
the Crystal is (I lifted the cage surrounding it from the guard's room)
2. I overheard the conversation between Brady and his girlfriend thru the
grate, but I can't find a way into his part of the mansion. Is it too late
to get keys from him? Or do I have to catch him immediately after the
conversation?
3. There are still about 3 doors I can't pick, and I don't have the keys
for. Any hints on keys would be helpful.

Thanks!
Terry

There's no rush to get the keys from Brady, so don't worry about that. He
has the Museum key so you'll be able to get in there after you've found him.
He also has a key to his own room so make sure you get both of them. To find
him, leave the attic and explore that same level of the house. You'll find a
large tiled room with stairs that lead up to another, smaller level. That's
where you'll find Brady and his keys. You'll find the way into the other
locked rooms eventually.

Yeah, got everything I need. Now I can't find the 'passageway behind the
mage's grave'. I found what I think is the grave, a big tomb looking thing
in the courtyard and some other headstones. Can't seem to find any
entrances. I've found a spot on the wall that looks like it may be a hidden
door, but may be just the way the light hits it....anyhow, if it is a door,
I can't get it to open.

Oh yeah, something else....Does the little girl's voice have anything to do
with the game? Or is it there just to add a "fear factor"? I think
understand the whole story concerning her, and what it has done to her
mother & father...but will I actually run into her?

No, that's not it. Did you find the lever under the mat beside Lord
Saturnine's bed? It moves an armoire and behind it is another small attic
room. Look on the posts down near the far end for a lever. Flip it then look
down through the "window" in the floor to see what happens. Then you'll know
where to go.

As for your other post about the little girl, no, you don't really come
across her. It adds wonderful, spooky atmosphere to this FM though, doesn't
it?

Okay, finished the game...but what a disappointing ending! Is there, or
will there be a sequel? We can't leave Garrett where he ended up...

Anyway, I have to say that this is, by far, the best FM i've played to date.
I was completely immersed in the atmosphere, in the story, in their world!
I haven't been able to say that about a FM yet....

Yes, the ending was a bit disappointing but there was a sequel planned. As
far as I know, it's still being worked on, though obviously it's coming
along very slowly. Hopefully, we'll see it someday and get the rest of the
story.

Have you played Rowena's Curse? It's a pretty immersive FM as well and great
fun to play. Ominous Bequest fits into that category too, I think.

Oh yeah...almost forgot...the guard's "outburst" during the trial was
hilareous! I was dying with laughter for a half-hour. hehe...
