straight up, and depress the
Release key to drop the bomb. The flash will not affect your vision, and you can proceed to do...whatever it was that you wanted to do.

I'm sure this is just what you were looking for!crunchy on 10/8/2000 at 10:20
Dropping mines had me stumped for a while. I didn't realise that they slid across the floor. So I'm watching this guard wandering about and asking myself "why hasn't the mine gone off?". Of course he was no where near it.
I must admit to doing most of the things mentioned and more but this one takes the cake.
I didn't realise you could douse torches with water arrows. I mean what else are they for? When I first played Bafford's, to get to the sceptre I stayed in the shadows near the door and jumped about to start the guard looking. When he got close enough I BJ'ed him. Took friggin ages as most times he would give up and go back to his post.

I went through the whole game up to Undercover. I never found any use for flashbombs because I just threw them and never knew that you had to drop them for them to work. When the Hammerite at the gate of the temple said "Present thy credentials, novice!" I thought that I had to drop my papyrus. I did, and nothing happened. I decided to drop everything else. I proceeded to drop my healing potions. I then dropped a flash bomb. The guard groaned and looked confused, and started to act like he was blind. I was glad I learned how to use them because I found great use for them in Escape and Strange Bedfellows. I proceeded to use them to play around with the Trickster in the Maw of Chaos.

I didn't realize flash bombs could kill the undead until RTC. I didn't know you could kill a ghost at all until RTC.
I didn't know you needed to hit a robot's boiler to kill him until the Bank mission. I didn't know you could blackjack them or make them fall completely apart until Soulforge. I didn't know rats couldn't hurt you until well, well in the game.

Do you mean to tell me that you can blackjack the mechanical robots?
Used to think flashbombs were for blinding myself, 'cause that's all that would happen when I would throw it at the enimies and look right at them.
And I still don't know what the hell the apples and chesse and deerleg and carrots are for. Other than to grind my teeth on and take up inventory space. I know the fruit adds health, but what about the rest of the food.
I'm a Stupid Thief that doesn't even know he has to eat.

Well one, if you hit a robot with a blackjack 10-20 times, different number for each different kind, they simply fall apart. It's funny!
And if you're playing Thief 2, sometimes food gives you energy. Sometimes.

O.K. I just found out something new. Just completed Bedfellows on second run through. Trying to get past the spidies for the chisel and got hit by a web. In my blind panic I hit the right mouse button to see the webs falling off. Never realised this before. Went back to Mage Towers and it also works for the crushing vines. If I had known this earlier would have saved on reloads!!!!
