Thief 2: The Metal Age Part 12 walkthrough covering routes to Home, finding the Shalebridge Gate Key, and acquiring loot like 137 gold.
Walkthrough
- 1From the sewer hatch, run to Whipple Street via the west edge of the Marketplace.
- 2At the top of Whipple, three guards discuss Truart near a large gate. Turn south-west to find a patrolling swordsman and a merchant on Helena Way.
- 3Around the corner north-west, a guard patrols to a small bridge over water. Near the west end of this bridge are two boxes; mantle onto them to reach a doorway, allowing you to drop into the water at Sparrow Street for a quick route home.
- 4Follow the water north and west to a tunnel leading west. Sneak through to avoid alerting two guards above and climb a ladder into a house containing a moss arrow and a broadhead arrow.
- 5Return down the ladder, turn west into a new watercourse, and follow it north.
- 6Mantle up on your right and find a door further up the street, north of a street lamp (refer to the eighth mission, Trace The Courier). Inside the shop are various coins worth 137 GOLD (417/0/0|417).
- 7Leave the shop, turn right (facing north). Across the water under a low roof, a torch shines.
- 8North is Hill Street with two patrolling bluecoats; one carries broadheads [PP 3]. East of the small bridge at Hill Street's east end, two more guards patrol the north-west of Helena Way, one carrying a Healing Potion [PP 4].
- 9From the west end of the Hill Street bridge, looking north, you see an arched tunnel with a street lamp. Three approaches to your Home exist from here.
- 10Approach 1: Drop into the water behind you, take the narrow tunnel north-east, climb out, and open the double doors of the large brick building.
- 11Approach 2: Move north through the tunnel, turn left, then right to find a single door leading into the same brick building. Climb upstairs to a window to jump across the street above guards.
- 12Approach 3 (Recommended): Go to the extreme west of Hill Street by the torch, face north. Continue north past another street lamp and a useless single door on your right.
- 13As you near your Home, two new objectives will appear.
- 14At the extreme north-west of the map, turn right to find a wooden scaffold. Use a rope arrow to climb it and enter your HOME.
- 15Inside, two guards patrol. Once in your ROOMS, you meet the first objective [OBJ 1].
- 16Go to your BEDROOM CLOSET, open the DOOR, and pull the HOOK ON THE LEFT to reveal your stash. This includes a BAG OF GOLD (1795/0/0|1795) and the SHALEBRIDGE GATE KEY [OBJ 2].
- 17One guard at your front door has broadheads [PP 5]; open the door from the inside to take them safely.
- 18Escape: Find Helena Way (north) on your map. Go to the east end of the Hill Street bridge, take the nearby alley east, then look south for a lone female guard on a bridge.
- 19Next to her is a door. Enter, go all the way upstairs, and head east until you reach a high, narrow walkway outside. At the far end is a loaf and a BOTTLE worth 50 GOODS (1795/0/50|1645).
- 20Climb down the ladder off the edge where the loaf was, turn right down the alley, which leads to the north-west corner of the Marketplace.
- 21A single bluecoat on the central bridge carries a PURSE worth 100 GOLD (1895/0/50|1945) [PP 6].
- 22Cross the Marketplace (or run north past two guards) and find the ladder on the side wall of the Bakery (look for the reddish sign with loaves).
- 23On the other side of the Bakery, you are in an unnamed street running north-to-south.
- 24Run south, turn left, then left again to find a sewer hatch next to locked double gates.
- 25The sewer tunnel goes east under the locked gates.
- 26Lurk in the darkness until two guards pass, then go south to a single door on your left.
- 27Unlock the next door inside, and avoid going downstairs (leads to the Pub). Go upstairs instead.
- 28You will find a key, a noisemaker arrow, and a STACK OF COINS worth 25 GOLD (1920/0/50|1970), completing the mission's loot.
- 29A lever upstairs opens the gate directly below, but it is not required.
- 30Leave the building via the same door you entered and go north to the double gates.
Tips
- Using the water route via Sparrow Street is the quickest way to get home.
- The Shalebridge Gate Key is a crucial objective found in your bedroom closet.
- The mission's loot can be maximized by collecting 137 GOLD from a shop, 100 GOLD from a guard's purse, and 25 GOLD from a stack of coins.
- Be cautious of guards patrolling Whipple Street, Helena Way, and Hill Street.
- The sewer tunnel under the double gates provides access east.
