From Me:

I created this walk through to show everyone how to get through the missions with tombs. I didn't make this for people to ask me how to fix their technical difficulties. My game has NO glitches which means all the missions have worked fine for me, and everything was where and how it was supposed to be. PLEASE stop asking me how to fix these issues with your game.

Chateau du Landgraab (Dragon Temple keystone mission)

This was probably the hardest mission I have done so far. The prima guide didn't help at all, and it seemed like everyone was stuck on this as well when I looked on the forums. I wandered through this house for probably close to two hours before I realized what I had to do, and it was so simple I facepalmed. I have decided I will only show the direct route you will use to complete this mission, and not show you every room of the house I wandered through. This is because a majority of the rooms have nothing in them, I only got into those rooms with zenporting (which you do not need in this mission after all), and they have nothing to do with this mission.

Mission: Locate the keystone in Chateau du Landgraab in France needed to explore the rest of the Dragon Temple in China.

Examine the hole in the ground.

It disarms the traps.

Go through the door on the left.

Watch out for these traps here. Go through the double doors.

Go up the stairs to the 3rd floor.

Put the keystone in the slot.


Don't take the statue off the display!! The electric traps will be activated. You can take the treasure off the left display though.


If you did take the statue, put it back by clicking the display and then finding the statue in your inventory. This will deactivate the traps.
*I have been informed via comment, that you can place anything from your inventory onto the display to deactivate the traps*

Collect the treasure off the bedside table.

Continue through the bathroom...

Walking into this room will activate the hidden door to appear.

Go down the stairs to the basement.

Watch out for the fire trap on the wall to the right.

Go through the door to the left.

You can explore the other rooms if you want to.

You can harvest some of the grape vines.

Grab the keystone from the glowing chest, and the keystone off the table.

Go through the door at the end of the hall, and the hidden door will activate.

Another hidden door here.

Collect the treasure. You can now travel back to China to complete the mission.

  1. Great walkthru's!

    You can take the treasures off the podiums - yes this does activate the electric traps, but, you can put a book or something else from your inventory back onto the lefthand podium; it doesn't have to be the statue :)

  4. Are you sure you are on the 3rd floor? Sure this is even the same mission? This is the one that starts in china. There are probably 4 or 5 missions that actually take place in this house.

  13. They ask you to search the cellar, there's an entrance to this without going thru the house, it's next to the outdoor gate/fence RIGHT next to the house. It's kind of hidden by bushes, but there is definately a fence thing there.

  23. Has anyone else had this error: when I finally am downstairs, my sim opens the treasure chest and receives the correct key. But then the whole room freezes, my sims can't click on ANYTHING, it won't even let my sim do "Go Here" in any other part of France. My sim is frozen in place and can't move an inch and then the rest of the game starts glitching and I can't even click into any other tombs. =[ I'm playing on a Mac, I don't know if that makes a difference but I need help! Does anyone have any advice? I tried to re-do the mission 3 times on other versions I saved of the game.

    Please help!

  24. I've found that being able to "Zeniport" really helps in this misson and others!

  30. Thanks for the walkthrough! I wouldn't have been able to figure it out on my own... lol! It's hard! Nice work :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I activated the traps, but it won't let me place anything else on the podiums, no matter how much I click. And it wouldn't let me zeneport past them either. Am I totally screwer or what?

    ReplyDelete
  32. dont try to drag/drop stuff onto the podium, instead click on it and select 'Place Object'

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hello,
    6th screenshot, where you say put the key into the slot- where do you get this key from?

    ReplyDelete
  34. you can use the cheat code to look at all of the rooms in a tomb it is
    hold down "CLR+Shift+C" then type in "testingcheatsenabled true" without quotes then hold down "CLR+Shift+C" and then type "buydebug on" without quotes. After you did this then click on the floor and hold down shift and click buy on this lot and you will see every room in the tomb! this really helped me alot!

    1. This was super helpful! I used your cheat to teleport between the two traps so I could put something useless on the display

  35. I have looked in that treasure chest like 7 times and I have already explored the rest of the house. The keystone isn't in that treasure chest....Wtf? Help please?

    ReplyDelete
  37. HOW DO I DISARM THE FIRE TRAPS BLOCKING AN ENTRENCE INTO THE HOUSE?? Help Please!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Thank you so much for this, I was so lost on this quest! Brilliant walk through!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Go through the back of the house. That's what I did. And btw, you can take off the 2 items on the hallway.

    The electricity traps will be activated. HOWEVER, if you put the item on the left back, analyse it, then pick it up again, the value will be higher. And the traps will no longer activate again. So that's one way you can get both items.

  40. I've tried to get through this trap for days. Thanks so much for your help

    ReplyDelete
  41. This way is too copmplicated, I did it in 2mins

    ReplyDelete
  42. So..has anyone figured out how to get the keystone in the first place? I am among those people who started mission without the keystone. I see a lot of same questions but no answers. There is nothing for me to do in the chateau without that keystone, even with cheats, all the other doors are locked.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.

  44. Hey guy's I'm having a majore issue. I found they keystone with the help of this page but when I went back to China to complete the mission I got a message that said I cant complete the mission b/c my target is missing. Basically he died. So I went back home and then back to china to see if that would work. It didnt. I went back to France, then home then back to china, it still didnt work. Then I deleted the mission and waited for it to come back up again and it finally did and I still cant complete the mission b/c when it comes back up it tells me to go to china to comeplete the mission but I'm already in china. I've deleted the mission and the keystone and it still gives me the same responses when I get the mission again. the keystone appears on its own and it keeps telling me to go to china to complete when I am in china alrady. Anyone know of anything else I can do to fix this problem? Short of uninstalling and reinstalling.

  45. For those with the problem with two statues and the two electricity traps..

    Click on one of the podiums where the statues were and then WAIT.
    The game is loading everything that you currently have in your inventory/ backpack into a list.
    So if you have a lot of stuff in there, give it a few seconds to load it all up and it should show the list with all your items there.

    you can replace it with any item, I put an apple there answer the traps stopped. hope this helps!

  46. So i was on the third floor, past the keystone door, and I took the statue off the display and I thought I had done something wrong and I thought the only way to complete it was to go home and start again so now I cant even get to where the traps are. Is there any way I can complete the mission without starting with another sim?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Just thought that I'd share this: I already completed the adventure with another sim in the same household and have unlocked everything in the house, so there is no glowing chest nor any keystone for me to collect.

    However, the weird thing is that after I collected a vase (or whatever treasure) next to a blue bed (ctrl + F for "Collect the treasure off the bedside table." in this page), there was some music played in the background (the kind when you completed something) and the chest in the basement started glowing again then tada!, the Dragon cave keystone was there and I was able to return to China to continue with the quest.

    Hope this helps!
