New Mission
Released April 18, 2008 - Castle of the Dead a mission for TG by darthsLair
Updated to version Revised on April 23, 2008.
The Mission:
Your last trip to the Bafford Estate gave you The Dead Maker, a very
powerful sword. Your associate Blacky has run off with your newest prize. There is a plague
spreading throughout the city. The residents are turning into zombies. You need to find out the
cause of this and stop it. To do this, you will need The Dead Maker back, so find Blacky and
get your sword. While you are around, find some trinkets to make saving the world (again!)
worth your time.
Impressions:
This mission has the gritty, dark feeling that I loved from the Original
T1 missions. There aren't any fancy textures or new objects. What darthsLair has given us is an
engaging story and good game play. The whole bit about Blacky making off with Garrett's sword &
selling it for practically nothing is great. The zombie mystery kept me interested in finding how & why these poor people are turning into zombies. Pick up some of the bottles in the
actor's house. You'll see what they've been drinking to make them turn.
You will also recognize the Cathedral. My guess is that the original design worked so well that
the Hammers didn't bother to make a whole new design. They just modified an old one. Though you
will recognize the Cathedral, this one still has some surprises waiting for you. I enjoyed this
mission very much. I would love to see darthsLair make another TG mission.
Stats:
I beta tested this one, so I'm not sure how many times I've been through it.
My time for the mission runs around an hour on Normal & Hard. I finally completed Expert
which requires you to find all 4058 in loot.
