Prepare for Thief: The Dark Project's Before The Mission. Learn about enemies, starting funds up to 2636, and recommended purchases.
Walkthrough
- 1You will encounter Zombies, Burricks, Restless Dead, Hammer Spirits, Craymen, and Spiders.
- 2Your starting funds are whatever you acquired from Constantine's, with a maximum of 2636.
- 3Your starting gear includes Constantine's Sword, 50 Broadhead Arrows, 5 Water Arrows, 4 Fire Arrows, 5 Rope Arrows, 5 Noisemaker Arrows, 3 Flash Bombs, 2 Holy Waters, 1 Set of Lock Picks, and 1 Pile of Coins.
- 4Your blackjack is also in your possession, though not listed under starting gear.
- 5Items available for purchase include: 6 Water Arrows (50 each), 4 Fire Arrows (300 each), 5 Moss Arrows (125 each), 5 Rope Arrows (200 each), 5 Noisemaker Arrows (250 each), 6 Flash Bombs (200 each), 8 Explosive Mines (350 each), 2 Healing Potions (250 each), 2 Holy Waters (200 each), and 1 Tip (200).
- 6The Tip reveals that the resourceful and the slain are the two groups fighting undead. It suggests holy water is useful, but diverting pursuers using the zombie's antipathy for living creatures is a more convenient tactic.
- 7It is recommended not to buy the Tip.
- 8You start with 5 Rope Arrows, and since any you use can be retrieved, there is no need to buy more.
- 9Moss Arrows and Noisemaker Arrows are considered a waste of money for this mission.
- 10Concentrate on buying undead-harming equipment: Water Arrows, Fire Arrows, Flash Bombs, Mines, and Holy Water.
- 11Flash Bombs and some Holy Waters are scattered throughout the level. Fire Arrows are also plentiful and highly recommended to buy as many as possible.
- 12Pick up additional Water Arrows, as the starting four will not be sufficient against Zombies.
- 13Recommended purchases are 6 Water Arrows, 4 Fire Arrows, and 2 Flash Bombs, totaling 1900.
Tips
- Save your money and do not buy the Tip.
- Focus your purchases on Water Arrows, Fire Arrows, Flash Bombs, Mines, and Holy Water.
- Buy as many Fire Arrows as you can.
- Ensure you purchase additional Water Arrows.
