The Chief's office...
[SPOILER]I hear there are two ways in and both are secret. I got in through robbery on the floor below. What's the other way in?[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]there's a very well hidden key in the patrol office, look for a switch on the top of a beam, it opens a vent to reveal the key inside.[/SPOILER]
The inscrutable po on 15/11/2004 at 00:14
Okay. Wasn't sure.
Just finishing going through it the second time on expert.
[SPOILER]Just wondering if there's any way to open the door at the end of the coal shute where the boiler is. I can hear people on the other side.[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]Once again I escaped with garrett prematurely leaving him at the bottom of one of the ladders from town. When I came back for him after finishing the other objectives, he couldn't survive the swim through the deep part of the sewers. He made it through that twice the on hard difficulty. Maybe he doesn't have as much air on expert because I gave up after he drowned 5 times.[/SPOILER]

no real need to swim with him, but it possible that his air is decreased. the coal chute was going to be an escape route, but i locked it up in the final version. you can hear the cops outside it. you can leave garrett in the duneon office and then grab him on your way out. if you follow the goals you can order everything so that grabbing garrett is the last thing you do.

I'm having lots of fun running around this place, but I can't figure out where steam tunnel 2 is located. I've been all over the basement level and the area outside the secure storage looking for it. Right now, I'm just hanging out in the boiler room.
Ottoj55 on 20/1/2005 at 12:04
[SPOILER]there are two, one under the elevators which you probably found, one under the evidence room, look for a hidden switch in either the evidence room or laboratory.[/SPOILER]

I'm happy to announce that thanks to the efforts of Amelico, Gaetane, Dinksmallwood and UliB that the French and German translations of A Debt Repaid are now available. The mission will be available at Cheapmissions first and the other sites soon after.

this puzzle can be a pain for a lot of people, ...
if you have a hard (not quick) save before the puzzle give it another go flipping the switches.
26) How do I disable the Noxious Fumes?
...
435
261
then the red button on the bottom
*** Spoilers below - can't get spoiler cover to work - sorry! ***
I'm playing the german version 3.0 of "A Debt Repaid", and I'm stuck here as well, like others before me. Neither
435 (top row)
261 (bottom row)
and pressing the red button nor
642
135 (someone else here said it worked for him) followed by the red button below activated the switch. I was always gassed to death.I read both scrolls containing hints to solve this puzzle, just in case one of them sets a hidden flag or has another effect on the last puzzle. I have reloaded a saved game every time. I even left "Thief II" and started the game (not the mission) again, but every time I try,
the switch left of the gas tank, below the blue light, is unfrobbable. BTW, I'm playing on Normal.
Someone said that the player must
visit the "holding cells" to succeed. Does this mean I have something to do in the cells in the dungeon, where several pagans are imprisoned? I have opened their doors and alerted them by banging the blackjack against the doors if necessary and felt quite happy with so many devoted followers on my tail. However, nothing else happened.
If those are not the "holding cells", where are the cells? I have visited the two cells in the building where the third lockpick was located - is this the necessary visit to the holding cells? Did I miss something here, and could this be related somehow (whether intended or not) to the other problem above?
Another odd thing I encountered:
The light sequence to open the door to the dungeon consisted of eight lights (red, green, blue, yellow, blue, yellow, green,red), not six.Looks like even version 3.0 has a few bugs to annoy the players.
(And if someone could tell me why I have no "spoiler cover" button *AND* can't get it to work manually, please do so. The problem is present since yesterday. I tried two browsers with two operating systems, but could not use spoiler tags. This worked at least by manually inserting spoiler cover a few weeks ago.)
edit by Nightwalker: I added spoiler cover for you. It seems to be working fine. Just type
THEN YOUR TEXT [/spoil} but make that last bracket square too. I have no idea why your spoiler button wouldn't be there. It is for me.Ottoj55 on 6/6/2005 at 21:41
the dungeon is 8 lights, not 6, if you where told six by me or someone else thats wrong, the sequence you wrote is right for that, if you missed the holding cells you can't have gotten far, the third lockpick is there, so you have to have been there. the mission is designed to add all missing objectives when you grab garrett if something was skipped. and the gas chamber puzzle you are stuck on to turn off the gas, that is the right order, if you flipped any of the switches out of order you have to back track in the same wrong order. when the switches are flipped you hit the red button, then the switch to the left becomes active and you can turn off the gas. its best to use a hard save before hand to be sure.

Thanks for your help, Nightwalker!
The spoiler tags button was missing (along with all other buttons) because I once selected "Basic Editor" instead of "Standard Editor" somewhere in the User Control Panel. Unfortunately, I forgot about that long ago. My fault.
I got used to insert HTML code to cover spoilers, but now I notice the line "HTML code is Off" at the bottom of this page. It was on before. Of course, your method still works because it's not directly HTML-based.
I read some FAQs here, but I don't remember reading any one which exactly told us how to use spoiler tags manually. Did I miss one?
EDIT: Found it. Clicking [IMG] code below answered my question.
