9.2: Objectives: Normal and Hard

Your guide to completing the 'Undercover' mission in Thief: The Dark Project. Learn the objectives for Normal and Hard difficulties, including loot targets and special conditions.

Alright, let's talk about the objectives for the 'Undercover' mission. This one's a bit unique since you're going deep into the Hammerite Temple, and you'll need to play the part of a novice. Here’s what you need to accomplish: * Get In: First off, you'll need to present your credentials to the guard at the gate to get into the Hammerite Temple, all while pretending to be a Hammerite Novice. * Find and Take the Talismans: Your main goal is to search the Temple and figure out where the Talisman of Air is hidden. In _Thief: The Dark Project_, you'll also need to grab the Talisman of Earth. Once you find them, snatch 'em up. * Get Out: After you've secured the talismans, you need to make your exit from the Temple and get back to the city streets. Now, for the extra challenges, especially on higher difficulties: * The First Hammer (Hard/Expert): On Hard and Expert, you've got an additional task: steal the Hammer's holy 'First Hammer' from their reliquary. Don't forget this one! * Loot Targets: * Hard: You'll need to pilfer at least 1500 worth of valuables from the Temple. * Expert: This gets trickier, with a target of 2400 worth of valuables. * No Killing (Expert): For the Expert difficulty, you absolutely cannot kill any of the Hammerites while you're on the job. This means you'll need to be extra careful and stealthy.
