^ banned for banning, criticizing, and shaming a member in a "too long/didn't read" reply to a TL/DR post when a simple ban is sufficient.. and banned again for good measure because... D A M N

Banned because thanks for defending me.

Banned because I happen to have a terrible memory and a terrible sense of direction, and I get lost extremely easily, and the map they give me is a POS. And everywhere I go, without fail, they seem to see me as soon as I enter a room, and I have to be extremely careful, making a new save file almost every step of the way, because I never know when I've stepped just a bit too far and someone's seen me, and I won't be able to escape, so I don't feel like spending another 3 hours doing the whole mission again. And actually, I DID take the key from the guard, but it was a silver key! He didn't HAVE a copper key, nor did anyone else that I encountered, and since the objective to get the key was checked, silly me, I just assumed that meant that the key that I got was the actual key that I needed!

Banned for being the last air bender.

banned for trapping helium gas in Mylar balloons and selling them... don't you know that the world's helium supply is very limited and is being rapidly depleted?

Banned because I use hydrogen instead of helium.

Banned because you're full of hot air, you gassy airhead.

Banned because I'm only gassy when I eat spicy food.

(Last post on the subject, I promise.) The light crystal bottom center of the screen is your friend; keep it dark by staying away from lights and they'll only see you within arm's reach. This is why water arrows are my favorite tool in all 4 games, because they douse torches. As for the key, what Maenmeldir said about accidentally dropping it must be the case. I think you tapped the 'grab' key in the same way while it was barely visible on a guard who might have been unconscious or falling. (Also were you crouching, that's always important.)

It very well might be for the best if you don't trouble yourself with another attempt; some levels are completely map-less or infested with zombies and ghosts that don't stay down unless you blast them with holy water (only available in later levels, and never enough to get them all). You're banned for blaming game design on your own flaws, (or the rare glitch) please stop that.

Banned for making false promises.

Banned for letting yourself get proven wrong!

Edit: Un-banned because I try to get out, and they pull me back in!

banned cause the gog forum ghost wants to see you being banned

banned for public shaming... this is the banning thread, so start your own thread if you don't like the subject matter

^ Banned for not eating the delicious popcorn I sent ya.

The key in question is actually on a number of the guards in the upper floors(as in several guards carry the key). You need to deal with em & then look at their waists for a key on their hip, and hit the correct key to pick the key up(and then of course hold onto it)....same goes for other loot on guards/etc.

That it is.....thankfully I am used to finding my way around a number of levels, so I didn't need it too much.

Tip: there's a "gem" (indicator) in the HUD that shows it you're easy to see or making too much noise.

Banned for shipping your seed all over town.
