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.

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.
Additional Lockpicking Information Pressing the : allows you to disengage from lock picking if youre spotted. Once youve found the sweet spot, press the L to quickly spin the tumbler to

the unlocked position.

Finding and Selling Loot
Anytime you step close to an item that is highlighted, you can use or pick up that item. During a mission, pick up anything of value - later, you can sell these items to fences for cash. Additionally, each mission has three pieces of special loot, which you may have to find to fulfil an objective, depending on your chosen difficulty setting.

TRADING ON THE BLACK MARKET
In pockets of the City, you can sell loot for cash and replenish supplies. Look for red handprints - the universal mark of thieving establishments.

FENCES

A fence takes valuable loot off your hands, plus gives you cash for whatever youve stolen. However, each fence will only buy two of the three main types of loot - gems, artwork and metal. For instance, one fence may refuse art, while another steers clear of gems. Youll have to visit multiple fences in the City to figure out who buys what.

To sell items to fences:

1. Enter the Fences room and listen to him or her. 2. Select SELL ALL, or select a specific item. 3. Select YES to confirm the sale. 4. Press ESC or click on the back icon to return to your game.

Page 19

Merchants
To buy items from thieving shops: 1. Enter the shop. 2. Select an item to buy. 3. Select BUY, then select YES to confirm. 4. Press ESC or click on the back icon to return to your game.
The first fence you'll find in the game is a short walk in a westerly direction from Garrett's apartment in South Quarter. If you want to check what you've got to sell, pause (Esc) the game, select GEAR, and then LOOT. Fences and Stores can also be a good source of information, sometimes even hinting at thieving jobs available in the city.

Being Stealthy

In order to be a successful pilferer and looter, you cant be seen by those who would rather turn you in or see you dead. When maintaining stealth, rely on your visibility gem. The brighter it is, the more easily others can see you.
What will get you caught if you arent careful:
Moving through brightly lit areas. Moving in partial shadows after an enemy or civilian is aware of your presence. Running or walking over noisy surfaces, such as metal floors or tile. Bumping into items that move and make noise near an enemy or civilian. Leaving dead bodies in plain view. Using your dagger or arrows to kill victims. (Victims scream, and killing them with these weapons creates a pool of blood.)
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).

Viewing Mission Objectives
As you play a mission, you can pause the game and select GOALS to view your current objectives.

GOALS SCREEN

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.
Using Weapons and Items (how to select and use) p. 13 Trading on the Black Market (buying equipment) p. 18

GEAR SCREEN

You can view your current equipment and inventory items by pausing the game (Esc) and selecting GEAR. This screen shows your current weapons, items and upgrades, plus a rough map. You can also find out how much loot youve accumulated.

Active Items and Weapons

Select an icon to equip that item (left) or weapon (right). Highlight icons and click the L.

Upgrades

Highlight and select Garrett to view thieving tools (gloves, picks, etc.). Highlighting an upgrade will display information regarding its use.

Loot Subscreen

Shows you the loot you currently have on you and its value. Most normal loot is generic stuff you can sell for cash on the black market to fences (traders and informants) in the City. 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.

Map Subscreen

This screen shows a sketched map of the area. You get a map for each mission, and you can buy additional maps from some of the thievery stores in the City. Other maps are found on people or during the missions.

Page 22

Arrows

Noisemaker arrow

Non-combat arrow used to distract guards or civilians. Fire into a remote area to draw guards towards it.

Broadhead arrow

Attack projectile used for ranged sniper attacks. Aim at an opponents head or chest and fire at someone who has not detected you.

Water arrow

Attack projectile that explodes upon contact. Shoot at enemies to injure them, Aim at oil puddles to start fires. Aim at unlit torches or fires to light them.

Moss arrow

Non-combat arrow that covers a surface with moss. Fire at loud surfaces such as metal floors so that you can walk over them silently.

Gas arrow

Attack projectile that releases a poisonous gas upon contact. Aim for an enemys face to cause him or her to pass out.

Page 23

Hand Weapons

Blackjack Gas bomb

Liquid potion you can drink to heal damage youve taken during combat. Use the potion to drink it and restore health.

The City

The City is the hub for most of the game, and home to the apartment Garrett uses to sleep away days between missions. The City is full of opportunity and victims, and youre free to seek out victims to mug, pocket items carelessly left out in the open, and eavesdrop to keep a pulse on the City. Youre distrusted by the City Watch, who wont hesitate to attack you if they spot you. For the most part, the urban peasants and traders will leave you alone unless you strike them or try to steal their merchandise. Your only City allies are fences and black-market stores. (See Trading on the Black Market, p. 18.) Later, you may perform favours for Fences, Pagans, Hammers and even Keepers. These lucrative tasks are dangerous, though rewarding, and affect how others perceive you. It pays to listen to the town talk - civilians and City Apartment aristocrats alike often hint at new missions or loot.

Page 26

Characters
As you play, you run across civilians, guards, watchmen, beasts, and members of various societies within the City. Although not everyone is hostile toward you, many are - unless they need your help. Their reaction to you may change over time (see Faction Screen, p. 29).

GUARDS

Authorities

Guards

Armed with swords and bows, guards are bored, dissatisfied, uneducated, and have nothing better to do than chase you. These burly, dangerous men whittle away their time by complaining and pacing back and forth. But, theyre quick to jump to the aid of civilians who summon help.

City Watch

The only armed force in the City, these watchmen are keenly aware of your presence and wont hesitate to attack you if they spot you on their beat. Your best bet is to avoid these determined attackers by sneaking around them.

CITY WATCH

Other enemies

Beastmen

Several large, noisy variants of Beastmen wander the underworld in search of human prey. Many explorers have debated whether theyre truly hungry or fiercely guarding their secrets, but few have nerve enough to find out.

Undead

Brainless and immune to certain types of attacks, undead enemies converge upon anyone they dont recognize as one of their own. These ethereal foes are most vulnerable to Holy Water or Fire and tend to linger in the Old Quarter or in haunted houses and ships.

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

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