Stealth tips.

Avoid toe-to-toe combat, the guards are tough. Use stealth to defeat them. Hide in the shadows and avoid bright areas. Use the Light Gem to see how visible you are. If it appears dark, youre practically invisible to nearby opponents. If its bright, youre partially or fully visible. Be silent! Your footsteps are quieter when you move slowly and avoid loud surfaces like metal. Avoid stumbling over boxes or barrels. Observe your opponents patterns before you move. To avoid being caught, move when your enemys back is turned. To assess your own powers of stealth, listen closely to your opponents. A suspicious person voices concern and starts searching for you. Move carefully away and find a good hiding spot. If you are well hidden, your opponent will give up the search. Opponents oblivious to your presence can be knocked out with a single hit. Sneak up behind the enemy, then attack with the blackjack, dagger or broadhead arrow.

USING THE HEADS-UP DISPLAY (HUD) 1 Health gems -Bar indicator that shows
how healthy you are. This is displayed whenever you are damaged (e.g. in combat or by falling) and also when the game loads up a new area. If your health drops to zero (except in the tutorial), you die.
2 Light Gem - Gem that describes how visible you are. The intensity
indicates your visibility: a dark gem means youre well hidden, a slightly light one means youre partially visible, and a bright gem means you are completely visible.
3 Compass - Spinning device that points north, south, east and west.

Moving Around
Youre a master thief, so maintaining secrecy and stealth is key. When moving, stay in the shadows and stay quiet!
(W,S,A,D) (W,S,A,D) & SHIFT (W,S,A,D) & CTRL RUN Using the directional buttons. WALK Using the directional buttons whilst holding

down the Shift key.

SNEAK - Using the directional buttons whilst holding down the Ctrl key enables you to sneak past guards.
Running creates noise and can alert guards or civilians of your presence. Moving over various surfaces creates different noise levels.
LEAN SIDEWAYS - Leaning can help you hide, as well as peek around corners. Stop leaning to resume your previous stance. FLATTEN AGAINST WALLS - Flatten against walls. To hide from guards and citizens, flatten your body against a wall. Once youre flattened, creep along the wall by looking left or right and moving slowly forward. To unflatten yourself, press R again. CROUCH - Duck down to move through small openings or to decrease visibility. JUMP - You can jump over small items or onto boxes and small walls. W S CLIMB - To climb a ladder face the ladder, and then move forward to climb up.

Z OR E X OR Q

X SPACE
To climb down a ladder or rope, carefully walk over it youll automatically get on it. To descend move backwards.

SPACE + W

TO CLIMB A SCALABLE WALL - face that surface. Jump and move forward to begin climbing. Pause briefly at the top to listen for activity. Jumping while climbing can make you fall. PULL UP/MANTLE - A special type of climbing lets you pull yourself up onto a ledge or other surface. With mantling, you press and hold W + SPACE to pull yourself up. Releasing SPACE causes you to drop back down.

Use this as a built-in zoom lens to get a close-up view. Push C to zoom in and V to zoom out.

Using Weapons and Items

To use a weapon or item, select it, then use it
Select weapon Cycle through available weapons Use the selected weapon. Select item Cycle through available items. Use the selected item. Tools of the Trade (weapon and item details) - p. 21 Gear Screen (view your equipment and items) - p. 21 1-8

F1-F6 [ or ] I

Items in the World
To interact with something, centre it in view and press the :. Anything that you can use, press, steal, or pick up is highlighted with a faint aqua glow once youre in the correct position to interact with it. To drop worthless items or a body, press the :. To throw worthless items press the L.
Use the : to: Open or close unlocked doors - Stand back to allow the door to open.
If something blocks it, nudge it out of the way.

Page 14

Pick locked doors - To learn how, see Picking Locks, p. 16. Not all doors
can be picked. Some require you to press a nearby button or lever.
Pick up/drop bodies - Leaving dead bodies in plain view is a bad
idea and draws attention. Pick up bodies and hide them in shadows or small alcoves.
Pick up/drop loot - If you see a vase, goblet, purse or other item that glows blue when you face it, pick it up. The items name and value appear briefly onscreen. The Gear screen (p. 21) shows what youve collected so far in the current game.
READ LETTERS OR BOOKS - Books, letters, scrolls, and notes hold a wealth of information, read them! To switch pages within a book, click on right/left arrows to go forward/back, or alternatively use the >. To close the book/page, press ESC or click on the back icon to return to your game.
Firing Arrows and Projectiles
When firing arrows or tossing explosives and flasks, aim at a target by tilting your view up or down. This alters the trajectory of whatever youre throwing. Look up to toss high and far, or look lower to throw low and close by.

FIRING ARROWS

Select an arrow type. Press and hold the L to enter aiming mode. Simultaneously, use the K to position the crosshairs slightly above the target and then release the L to fire the arrow. (Be sure youre not too far away, or the arrow may fall short of its target.) Note: To put away your bow without firing a drawn arrow, press SPACE.

THROWING FLASKS AND PROJECTILES
Select a flask or mine using the [ or ] keys. Using the K, line Garretts head up with the target. Press the I key to hurl the item. (For mines, aim at the ground.)

Page 15

Fighting and Dying
You have several different ways that you can deal with your opponents. If an opponent hasnt spotted you yet, try one of the three one-hit methods listed below. Note that if your opponent suspects your presence or is pursuing you, your cover is blown and you cant kill with a single shot.

BLACKJACKING

If your victim hasnt seen you, equip your blackjack and silently sneak up from behind. Centre the opponents back in view. Press the L to knock that person out with a single blow. Your enemy will remain unconscious for the rest of the mission.

BACKSTABBING

This works exactly like blackjacking, except that you use your dagger. Backstabbing kills your opponent with a single blow, leaving behind a pool of blood. Also, your victims screams can draw attention.

SNIPING

To strike from afar and kill with one blow, fire arrows at an opponents head or chest. Adjust your arrows trajectory for distance as necessary.

ESCAPING

Even if youre forced into a corner, you should avoid fighting if you can. You have several items and weapons that can help you escape. Try using the flash bomb to blind enemies, or create an oil slick behind you by throwing an oil flask. (You can set it on fire with a Fire arrow.) If you have wall-climbing gloves, try scaling a climbable surface. If you have to fight, you can use your hand weapons, or lay down explosive mines. Gas arrows and bombs can also be a reliable way to knock multiple opponents unconscious. In missions, if someone kills you, the LOAD GAME screen appears. In city maps, you may be hauled off to prison

Page 16

Picking Locks
Locks vary in craftsmanship and materials, so some will be more difficult to pick than others. To learn how to pick different types, purchase practice locks from thievery shops. Theyll help you learn the finer points of lock picking. Any practice locks you buy appear in your apartment in the City. Lock picking mode activates whenever you use a chest or door that can be picked. Each lock has from three to six tumblers. To pick it, you must find the weak spot on each tumbler.

To pick a lock:

1. Right click on the locked door or container. 2. Move the K to rotate the lockpicks until you find a spot that makes the tumbler shake. 3. Hold the K steady and wait to see if the shaking tumbler starts to spin. If it does, a gap opens in the tumbler and spins to the far right edge of the circle. If the gap doesnt appear, gently move the K to manoeuvre the picks around the shaky region of the tumbler. The shaking increases as you reach the sweet spot. 4. Repeat for all tumblers. When all of them have been picked, the lock will open. 5. When the lock picking interface closes, use the : on the newly picked door or chest to open it.

What helps you remain hidden:
Waiting to move until your opponent isnt looking. Sticking to the shadows and creeping slowly over loud surfaces. Extinguishing torches and fires to create additional shadows you can use for cover. Crouching while hiding or moving. Waiting to move until your opponent isnt looking. Flattening your body against a wall. Knocking out guards or civilians before they see you. Distracting guards (by throwing junk items or using a tool). Firing moss arrows (for stealth) or noisemaker arrows (for distraction).

Completed objectives are brown and marked with a checkmark, while outstanding objectives are grey. Failed objectives appear in red text. Left click in the scroll bar on the right or move the > to browse through your objectives. As you discover new information or use certain items, your objectives can change. When this occurs, a message like New Objective pops up onscreen. To finish a mission, complete all objectives and find the exit point.

WINNING MISSIONS

After you successfully complete all mission objectives and exit the area, you can view the DEBRIEFING and MISSION STAT Screens. They give you a quick debriefing and provide feedback on how well you performed during the mission. Select CONTINUE to start the next mission.

DEBRIEFING SCREEN

The DEBRIEFING screen appears when you finish each mission. It advances the plot and provides additional information based on what you discovered while completing the mission.

MISSION STAT SCREEN

This screen describes how well you performed in the mission. It displays your difficulty level, time taken to complete the mission and how much loot you acquired. For encounters, it shows how often you were detected, as well as the knockout and kill count for the mission.

Page 21

Tools of the Trade
Weapons, Items and Upgrades Weapons, Items and Upgrades
As a master thief, youll often find yourself in situations that require cunning and advanced weapons and tools. You dont have all of them at the start, but you can find items or buy them with cash you earn.

Each mission also has three pieces of specially named loot that are of particular interest to light-fingered types.

Items Subscreen

Selecting Items from the GEAR Screen displays a list that is very similar to the Loot screen in appearance. Contained in it are items such as ancient artefacts or keys that wouldn't interest a fence, but which are helpful or vital to completing certain missions.

Page 25

The World of Thief III
Your chosen profession requires you to be nocturnal. So, you sleep by day and prowl by night, always with open eyes and ears. You perform your thievery in the City proper, and in missions that send you into buildings and underground City environments. To enter a mission, look for a floating glyph outside of a building or door. Use it to start that mission.

Missions

Missions are focused excursions that send you into a specific area to complete a certain task. When the game starts, you begin a training mission in an Inn. Once you finish the training mission, youre launched into a second mission to steal a valuable gemstone. After that mission, youll find yourself in your apartment in the City for the first time. In missions, everyone is hostile, and the best policy is to hide as much as possible. Civilians run to find guards, and guards attack you on sight. In later missions, undead and beastly enemies also attack you on sight.

BEASTMEN

UNDEAD

Page 27

Other Monsters
The deepest chasms of the City rarely employ guards and often contain unspeakable horrors. Its an unwritten rule among thieves that you shouldnt venture too far without a full supply of arrows and helpful items.

HAMMER PRIEST

Spellcasters
Brute force may keep the immediate peace, but magical exchanges are commonplace in the darkness of the night. Magical glyph symbols adorn the cityscape, usually signalling something of great importance. Thieves have little need for magic, but it figures into the day-to-day operations of the Keepers, Hammer Priests and Pagan Shaman.

PAGAN SHAMAN

People

Civilians

Whether theyre tending shop, strolling the streets, admiring artwork or planning a conspiracy, these unarmed civilians are inconveniently present everywhere. In missions, servants, aristocrats, merchants, and peasants alike are out to ruin your thievery and never hesitate to call the nearest guard for help if they see you. In the City, theyll usually let you pass by peacefully unless you hit them or bungle a pickpocketing attempt.

PEASANT

Dangerous, mannerless and crude, thugs prey on the hapless denizens of the City. They can be tough and formidable adversaries, but competition breeds perfection in Garrett. He rarely hesitates to steal from them what wasnt rightfully theirs to begin with.

ARISTOCRAT

The tell-tale wand of a spellcaster is easily visible, even to untrained eyes, and magic users never travel without one. Try sneaking up behind a spellcaster and stealing the wand to render him or her helpless.

Page 28

Societies and Leaders

Keepers

A secret organization that trained Garrett in his youth, the Keepers employ invisible clout and glyphs (magical symbols) to maintain balance in the City. Garrett figures prominently into their prophecies, and the Keepers are enlisting his help in order to avert a dark, uncertain future.

KEEPERS

Keeper Assassins
Massive bodyguards, the Assassins are a staff of Enforcers brought in by the Keepers to tidy up loose ends. The Keeper Assassins draw their power from Glyph magic and use their strength and telepathy to suppress and guard the Keepers innermost secrets.

Keeper Artemus

One of Garretts few associates outside the world of thieves, Artemus is Garretts primary liaison to the Keeper society. Not quite trusting each other, Garrett and Artemus strictly keep business at arms length, trading information and missions that are mutually beneficial.

KEEPER ASSASSINS

Keeper Interpreter Caduca and Translator Gamall
These interpreters work in tandem behind the scenes to interpret dusty manuscripts in the Keeper libraries. Elderly and blind, Caduca pores over the luminous glyphs, deciphering them by touch. The youthful, unfeeling Gamall interprets Caducas readings and communicates the murky prophecies to the Keeper leaders.

First Keeper Orland

The current leader of the Keepers, Orland has a spotty history with Garrett, but he knows the master thief is integral to the Keepers prophecies. Against his better judgment, Orland is once again allowing Garrett to work within the walls of the Keepers libraries.

Faction
As you progress and complete certain tasks and missions in the game, you alter how various social groups perceive you. To see your current status, you can view the FACTION SCREEN, which shows your current alliance status with the two main societies - Pagans and Hammers. By doing favours for or attacking members of a group, you affect how each group reacts to you.

Hammers

Armed with warhammers, this zealous group worships the Builder, the accepted creator of all civilization. The Hammers founded the City through discipline and craftsmanship, but its priests now aggressively inflict forceful obedience. Hammers will do anything to tilt the balance of power, including calling on master thieves for favours.

Pagans

The primitive Pagans seek to promote nature and chaos at the expense of destroying progress. The Shamans, warriors, and beast-like members of the Pagan cult pray to the Trickster, an ancient god of nature and chaos. Like the Hammers, Pagans also seek to enlist underground help to further their own ideals.

HAMMERITES

To view your current status, pause the game and select FACTION if its available. (You wont see this until after a few missions.)
