Complete walkthrough for Part 29 of Thief 2: The Metal Age, covering the Stargazer's Loft, Shemenov Estate, Necromancer's Spire, Apartments, Fieldstone Estate, Grandmauden Road, Sir Cullen's Keep, and The Baron's Way.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the previous area, go back downstairs and use a vine arrow on the beam above to enter the Stargazer's Loft. Collect food and the Stargazer's journal.
  2. 2
    [SECRET #2] Move the telescope to reveal a secret door containing a fire arrow and the sunburst device.
  3. 3
    Enter the Shemenov Estate through a hole partially blocked by boxes. Move the boxes to access more rooms and a window exit to the estate, which is marked on your map to the north. This is a shortcut for later.
  4. 4
    In a room to the left, find two flash bombs and a broadhead arrow. A chest contains 60 GOLD (280/0/0|280). The archer on the balcony has broadheads [PP 3].
  5. 5
    Locate a chimney on the roof with a ladder leading down to a kitchen. You can deal with this later.
  6. 6
    Instead, jump to the hexagonal tower and climb the ladder.
  7. 7
    Go west from the ladder, then south to overhear a conversation between the Rothchilds. Drop down to see them and take a PURSE OF 100 GOLD from the table by the window (380/0/0|380).
  8. 8
    Ignore the nearby metal hatch for now. Drop onto the ledge below and jump through the window into the Necromancer's Spire.
  9. 9
    In the Necromancer's Spire, collect two CANDLESTICKS worth 100 GOLD (480/0/0|480). Avoid the book.
  10. 10
    [SECRET #3] Look into the fire and repeatedly press your USE key to trigger a secret button.
  11. 11
    Use the button to the right of the lift to raise it, then use the other button to ride it down.
  12. 12
    [SECRET #4] In the lower room, examine the book on the middle bookshelf to open a hatch below the lift platform.
  13. 13
    Ride the lift down into the Necromancer's bedroom. Find a Healing Potion, a Speed Potion, and a chest with 100 GOLD (580/0/0|580). Read his notes to avoid reading the book upstairs.
  14. 14
    If you triggered SECRET #3, another hatch will appear at your feet, dropping you into a torture room. Check the iron maiden for an Invisibility Potion. Mantle onto the iron maiden to climb back up.
  15. 15
    Ride the lift to the lower floor, then cross the gap through the open window into the Apartments.
  16. 16
    In the Apartments, check behind the boxes for a PLATE worth 50 GOLD (630/0/0|630). Take the ladder down and sneak past boxes to avoid a patrolling guard.
  17. 17
    Climb the stairs to encounter housebreakers. You can reach them via the middle floor window and ladder, or by going upstairs and emerging behind the guard inside.
  18. 18
    The chest in the bedroom contains 25 GOLD (655/0/0|655). A RING worth 100 GOLD (755/0/0|755) is on the purple chest of drawers by the window.
  19. 19
    Leave the Apartments by mantling onto the crenellated roof to the south.
  20. 20
    In the Fieldstone Estate, deal with two patrolling guards. One has arrows [PP 4], the other has the key to the estate [PP 5]. Use the key on the outer door and watch for another patrolman inside.
  21. 21
    Find a GOLD VASE for 100 GOLD (855/0/0|855) and 3 STACKS OF COINS (891/0/0|891).
  22. 22
    Ignore the south-west area. Go to the east edge of the Fieldstone Estate crenellations and drop onto the wooden ledge across to the building to the north.
  23. 23
    You are now at Grandmauden Road. Drop onto the metal pipe and fall into the hole in the ceiling.
  24. 24
    Downstairs, find two moss arrows on the ceiling beams, a vine arrow in a chest, and a cheap RING (916/0/0|916) in the north-west corner.
  25. 25
    Climb back out and enter the house through the broken window. In the cupboard, find 3 PAIRS OF COINS, 3 STACKS OF COINS, and a PURSE, totaling 90 GOLD (1006/0/0|1006).
  26. 26
    You can ignore the burglar guarding flares, but if you knock him out, remove his body from the fire to avoid mission failure.
  27. 27
    Go back outside to the same ledge and climb the ladder into a metal tunnel. Follow it, drop down, and use the handle to open the hatch, returning you to the Rothchilds.
  28. 28
    Drop onto the ledge and move north to Cullen's Keep. An archer patrols here [PP 6].
  29. 29
    Collect two fire arrows from the small watchtower. Enter the house through the window and take the GOLD VASE from the table (1106/0/0|1106).
  30. 30
    Go through the window to the north into The Baron's Way. You will see a large window in the ceiling below.
