Getting to the lower floors of anglewatch in the Thief 2 demo...

What's beyond the gate that stops you descending into the tower? I couldn't seem to load this in the version of dromed bundled with thief 2 so I haven't been able to find out.

Is it possible to squeeze through the bars using this keyholing technique I've been reading about?

I've been on the roof of Anglewatch, I climbed up the chimney, but you can look down and see a floor below through the fire grating, is there more to explore that the designers just closed off for the demo?

It's been bugging me for years, I need to know. :thumb:

You should be able to load it into dromed with some minor problems(weird textures). Try using the dromed that comes with TG, I believe that version will work.

As far as I know, there is no way to get past the gate without using dromed. As I recall, there is just a staircase and an empty room behind the gate, as well as some other empty rooms throughout the building.

Yes, there are no rooms, just the staircases and some dead ends. Unfortunately I never added pictures to the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61302) S&U guide for TuG.

I tried getting through those bars for ages using all different techniques, including the reload positioning bug I've read about. Nothing ever worked. Finally I got desperate and downloaded T2 DromEd. I discovered the roof (which I admit I was never able to successfully make it up to), I traversed the street level, and I made my way through to the secret lower floors which ended up just being dead ends but still fun to see for the first time!

Thinking back (and this is just me personally), but I found the whole AngelWatch portion of this mission to be really haphazardly tossed together. I guess that explains why it was just an alpha demo :)
