Learn about Fly Swarms in Thief: The Dark Project, first appearing in Mission Two. Discover how to disperse them and the damage they inflict.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Fly swarms appear in Thief: The Dark Project and are not particularly dangerous, but can be annoying.
  2. 2
    They typically hover over a corpse or sometimes a Corpse-Zombie, remaining stationary.
  3. 3
    Occasionally, a swarm may be found without a body, but they still do not move.
  4. 4
    Moving through a swarm will subject you to their bites, which do not always hit.
  5. 5
    The damage from a swarm bite is minimal.
  6. 6
    Note: If a Zombie has a Fly Swarm surrounding it, the swarm WILL move, but it will stay with the Zombie.
Tips
  • To disperse a Fly Swarm, shoot a Fire Arrow into it.
  • You can disperse a Swarm from around a Zombie by hitting it with a Water Arrow.
  • Using a Fire Arrow on a Fly Swarm may be considered a waste of a good Fire Arrow.
