Even when completing the optional objective, which gives you a big bunch of extra loot, I still came 200 short in the end. I revisited every single area three times, and still haven't gotten enough. It's ridiculous to a point where I can't recommend this mission. I've played nearly a hundred FMs at this point, and I've never been unable to complete a mission due to loot objectives.

The rest is fun. If you don't mind skipping loot goals, it's worth picking up. But people who don't want to mess around with these things should avoid this one.

EDIT: Thanks to Nanao's tip, I managed to find a piece of loot which instantly completed my loot goal. I wouldn't say it's a great and fair loot goal - the bonus objective also involves some hard to find items that don't come to mind as soon as you see them - but it's not as absurd as I expected. Still, lowering the requirement a bit would be nice. Anyway, I added one point to the gameplay aspect. Overall, I find it good gameplay, but the **SPOILER START** Haunt Archer room **SPOILER END** was a big pain to get through.

Otherwise, it's a unique twist on the standard Hammerite temple. Cool stuff.

The loot objective is indeed somewhat high (2800 out of 3300, so 83%?), but not downright unfair. Have you swept the lower levels?

In this case, the percentage says little about how well-hidden the loot is (if it even exists, haha). I'm thorough with these things (thanks OCD). I've swept everywhere five times: all of the ground floor, all of the basement, all of the upper floor, all of the crypt, all of the abandoned ruin, and all of the Cray cavern.

Ridiculous is, at the end of the day, a relative term. However, relative to every other FM I've played, this one's loot is ridiculously well-hidden. Maybe finding all secrets is mandatory? I think I've spent about an hour just looking for missing loot.

*Spoiler*
AFAIR there is a statue in the Keeper compound that carries like a 250g tiara (where loot in general is very meager in value)

I might have missed that, though I was actively looking for such a thing at one point. Maybe I'll give it another go. This mission is pretty fun, after all.

EDIT: Yeah you're right. I think I stopped looking for crown-wearing statues at that point, because this one only appears near the end of the ruin. Also, I usually only check the female statues.
