Yes, they will come back on in 9 or 10 minutes. =)
Work fast.

I'm at the lawyer's, but cannot find the gear. BTW a very beautiful and difficult mission, thank you!

You're very welcome. Look for a switch in his book cases. And keep remembering to look UP in this mission (and in Thief in general).

I need some help with the black and white tiles just after passing the 6 haunts in tomb. I read another post and it mentioned a book as well as some buttons. I have not been able to find the book or buttons.
Thanks.

The book is at the laywers:
"Patterns of darkness, patterns of light. Only one path safe, only one path right.
In the beginning was void, dark without end, then came the bright sun, and life did begin.
Mankind gathered at shining fires to feast, but outside in the night lurked the terrible beasts.
Then came the Builder with his blazing forge, and cast out the Trickster to his shadowy gorge."1.
if you find that you cannnot get off safely where you are standing check both sides of the column you are attached to. 2.
check the column nearby too.Toulomne on 10/6/2021 at 12:31
Loved this mission, I found it hard but figuring out where all the things you need are was mostly enjoyable. I really like to "flash" Thief 2 missions if possible, as in complete them without any reloads on my first playthrough, but I don't think I would have managed to do that in a million years with this one :p
For one, I didn't find the book describing the tomb traps before doing the tomb so...there was some trial and error; I figured there must be a hint for them in the form of a readable but assumed it would be in the cathedral so I only searched that area thoroughly before giving up and figuring it out without the readable. I noticed the numbers used were prime before finding the book so that was at least a nice confirmation from the hint...besides some deaths there I also had a couple of deaths falling from high places, not surprisingly, some of the jumps were a bit tricky; I also got spotted by the cameras a few times as I tried exploring the bank quite a bit before finding the key in the apartment. to shut off the cameras. I managed to complete the bank, rescue, and tomb obectives on my own but the one thing that eluded me was the fake brick hiding the key to the illegal stash...finally resorted to the forum for help after searching for too long, argh why is it always fake floors that trip me up ? :rolleyes: Now I've managed to complete all the main objectives but I barely have over 3000 loot...I'm really surprised since I've already found over 5-6 secrets with loot and some other pretty hidden loot pieces that weren't secrets...seems like the loot objective is a bit hard to meet maybe, or I've just missed some main area with a lot of loot pieces. Oh well, I will have to try to finish the loot objective later as I don't feel like running around exploring for now after I feel like I've already searched the map pretty thoroughly...anyhow, great mission, I can't believe you managed to pack a bank job, a police station, and a cathedral all in the same mission and still have each area feel flushed out and well designed. Definitely the best mission I have played in quite a while, loved the city layout and the various acrobatics and rope arrowing this mission requires! I was pretty lucky to happen to find the gears while I honestly didn't even realize what they were for...I had found 3 of them mostly by accident and thorough exploration before realizing I would need them to enable entrance to the basement; then I figured correctly the warehouse owner would be the 4th important person to have one and managed to finally find my way into the warehouse area which had eluded me to that point...
PS: I think this mission, modified a bit to explore more the mysterious identity of the intruders who broke in would be an amazing first mission in an interesting campaign storyline...

There is a way to find out who robbed the bank. I think no one has found it yet though.

Hah, you are the first to find the fire arrow I think. Now find the gas arrow! ;)
I found it as well on my playthrough, I always have a habit of spam right clicking fireplaces (and bonfires in this case) in case there might be one hiding :D
It also lead me to discover the hot pot on the fire that burns you a little if you pick it up, that was a really nice touch! Imagine if you had 1 health...death by hot pot! Didn't find the gas arrow though, would be handy for the helmeted guy patrolling the ground floor of the bank

Any hints on that?

IMPORTANT!I have found a game-breaking bug: do
NOT use gears until you have all 4 of them. After I've found 2, I used them. All 2 other boxes with gears appeared empty.
Well, I suppose there won't be a walkthrough from me for this mission :)
I used 3 of the gears before finding the 4th and had no problem...
Edit: Whew, finally finished the mission, took me 4:38 hours total, I must have spent over an hour and a half searching for loot to finish the loot objective tonight as I had finished the others yesterday...the loot objective is extremely hard and I can't believe there is still another 2140 loot to be found who knows where...absolutely love this mission, for some reason it feels like it would be fun to replay even though most times I rarely come back to a mission and when I do not for a long time. I loved the architecture \ layout of the mission and all the nooks and crannies you had to climb to. 4.5 / 5 stars for me and I don't give that rating out too lightly, there are only ~15ish missions on my list 4.5 stars and above. I do think the loot objective could be lowered to something like 3600 or 3750 because even with 9/17 secrets found I still just barely made it...some of the non-secret loot is quite hidden too. I think people will spend time looking for all the loot if they want to, but I don't see a reason to force everyone to hunt for it if they just want to finish the mission, maybe it's hard to appreciate in testing just how hidden some of it is when you play the mission over and over, maybe I just missed a big chunk of loot that was fairly obvious to others, who knows.
