@Sneak: Some loot pieces are well-hidden, but there's no hoard anywhere :p All three secrets amount to 450 loot in total.
@Eiji: No idea :D Next year maybe!

Wow, this one messed with my head a bit, trying to figure out which way was up! I absolutely loved the up to swim, down to breathe section. I wasn't able to find all the secrets- only found 2 of them:
*The one door of many that led to a Keeper's Library.
*The unexpected location for a vase.
Sadly, Sir A 'Donk's legacy wasn't helpful to me in finding the secrets. I never found any place where 'my ears would lead me where my eyes could not', nor a spot for 'a leap of faith', and I'm assuming the 'to the Keepers' door was the 'what an object seems is not always what it is'?, but the oddly placed vase doesn't seem to fit any of his hints, either... however I still had a grand time. I thought I had done a really good job at finding loot, I found so many little hidden, tucked out of the way spots, but I only wound up with 2730!
Thank you, marbleman. When the mission ended without a Mission Complete screen, I admit I was excitedly hoping it would segue into another part. I shall eagerly await it doing exactly that!

Replaying now, hunting for loot. With the help from an early post in the thread, I found the third secret (not sure what 'sound' has to do with that, though..?). I've also found a couple of more loot items (including one in a room in our (or rather, my landlord's) house that I completely missed has a frobbable door!).
Missing only 220 now, but I am running out of ideas. I won't have to stack a bunch of potted plants to get somewhere high, do I?
At least I am not getting lost as much anymore when I try to move between parts of the city...

If you want, you can send me your save file, and I'll tell (or hint) you where the remaining loot is :D No, you don't need to stack any objects to get to places ;)
The boarded-up door emits a buzz, hence the sound clue.

I don't have Thief installed at the moment, so I'm curious for screenshots for this mission. Are there any?

Thanks, but I decline the offer. Once I give up searching, I'll use the cheating tools lootlist and TTLL. The detective work one still has to do is often quite fun.
Found a candlestick on windowsill (that I actually found the first playthrough...), so 195 still mising.
You're right,
there is a different sound by that door illusion. I don't think I would have ever connected that to the clue, though.

marbleman, here are the five pieces of loot you managed to hide so well that I didn't find them without cheating:
- scattered coins on ground next to outer wooden steps by Paolo's
- bag under stool on balcony opposite Paolo's
- plate in landlord's room (fiendishly hidden! Although it is possible to see it, if you get to just the right spot)
- ring stuck on upside-down balcony W hideout house
- ring on outdoor windowsill a short ways E door to house with dumbwaiter (embarassing, since I had been here, by this window, standing on the ledge!)

Through the lot of work I come to it only now. I love every balkony, the wood house, the fire river to go through without any damage :D and the nearly neverending ways to everywhere. An absolut adventure to discover all the hide places !!! Great compliment to you marbleman !

Just wow!
It didn't take too long before I discovered exactly why there was a map only to the opening area of the mission. Then my jaw dropped. Marbleman, you've done an incredible job with this—I was full of glee as I explored, despite getting turned about and completely lost many, many times! Just amazing!
Eagerly looking forward to the followup, whenever it comes.

Marbleman, sir, how does it feel to create an instant classic :cheeky: ? Haven't yet finished the FM but I'm in constant awe. Brilliant, everything.
