CTEC Mission - Baffords Town House

All this mission does is piss me off. How are you supposed to get into the watch station and get the sword? To light..loud floors..to many guards. The only way in that seems sneeky to me is via the coach outback and it seems impossible to me. Any suggestions ?

There are moss arrows at the art dealer's and under the paddy wagon and you can turn off lights in the watch station. You can jump on the wheel of the wagon and mantle up to get in the back window. Once you make it to the armory you will have other options. :cheeky:

I am assuming you don't mind KOs. For me finding the blackjack was what got me going. I used the police wagon behind the station and then climbed in through the window, turned off the light there and KOed any guards. Then i moved through the station doing the same thing, until every guard was in noddly land.

Never found the BJ, didn't know there was one, but I did manage to get enough keys to run my ass off to the armory, open it and get the swordthen I ran back outside on top of the cart/wagon, waited for the guards to settle down enough to kill everybody in and around the building. I have never been so happy to kill a bunch of bluecoats, never ! Thx guys... :ebil:

Well this mission certainly wins the contest for the most number of keys for a small mission, with its 28 keys.

My rope arrow won't shoot from the well ( in water ) either.:confused:

And it took me 20 mins. of jumping at that wagon wheel before

I finally hit the right spot.:sweat:

I'm exhausted, and I think I'll have to move on.:(

Too bad , because this looks like a fun mission.

Any advice???

NAC, if someone managed to shoot an arrow in the water, it was a bug. Normally Thief engine don't allow you to do it.

The way it was intended to go, I think and I did it myself, is described in one of the previous posts.
Go to the art dealer attic and shoot the arrow from there, then return to the sewers.

There are other places to make that shot. Just explore a bit. Think high.

There are several easy ways to make the jump to the left front wagon wheel. Try this: 1. Facing the side of the wagon and the back wall of the station, back up until your back is against the wall behind you. Run forward until you reach the edge where the street drops a step (probably 2 or 3 running steps), then jump. 2. Or, walk up to the wheel until you are touching it, back up two steps and jump forward.
