The buttons are
not in the office, but in
the entrance room of the vault. They should be easily visible.
To clarify: my problem is NOT finding the buttons, it's that I don't know
what number to enter with the buttons. And Galaer's and Samantha1's earlier posts suggest that the numbers are hidden somewhere in the office. I'm asking for help with finding the numbers.

Arrowgrab, I assume you already found the switch under the desk in the office? If not, frob the switch under the desk. It will reveal another switch on the wall in the office. Then turn this switch and the vault code will be revealed. The numbers are written in an unusual writing, not the usual writing you see in thief. The numbers are directly next to the bookcase, on the left side of the bookcase. Stand sidewards towards the boockase, very very close to it and you should see the numbers. For help you can always use your zoom function aswell :)

I've actually found those switches before, but couldn't find the numbers that were revealed. For anyone else having problems with this part in the future: the "office" referred to here is NOT
the big room on the top floor with eight desks that actually says "OFFICE" on a sign by the door. It's the bank director's office on the middle floor.Azaran on 7/1/2022 at 20:27
Thanks everyone. I managed to find my way out of the room after enough mantling around, got into the haunted apartment and found the ladder. Still exploring.
I also eventually made it into the clocktower after much grief (looks like the author REALLY doesn't want us going there, the trek across the glass walkway took me half hour to finally make it without the glass spontaneously breaking). For anyone wondering, there's ladders going up all the way to the top, but nothing else. Nice view though

You players... how the heck did you got into the walkway, in the first part? You are not meant to go there.

I am stuck in mission 1. I cannot seem to find my way to the bank! I am searching for a few hours now using the map and always return to the same places. Please tell me,where should I go?
Also [spoiler]I didn't find Vault key#2,location please?I found the other 2[/spoiler]

AFAIK, the bank is located to the northwest of the building in which the mission starts. To go there, you can first jump over the gap between the southwest corner of this "starter building" in the direction of the house to the south. Archers should be patrolling there.
Now, work your way to the west until you reach the library. Once there, go to the north end of the roof before the library. You should be able to jump onto a slanted roof there. Go to the chimney on the roof and examine the upper edge of the wall of the building to the west. There should be something wooden there which is ideal for a rope arrow. Shoot one, then jump at the rope and climb up. Be careful when mantling over the edge, as there is a guard up there. When he has passed by, mantle onto the roof, give the guard a standard blackjack greeting on the back of his head:ebil:, and proceed to the north end of the roof area.
You should be able to jump at the corner of another slanted roof. Climb up onto the wall that serves as a railing here and try to jump somewhat diagonally at the roof's southeastern corner, then mantle up. This can be a bit tricky. Once you're up there, the bank should be the building to the north of this roof, and you should be able to jump and mantle onto a ledge on the wall.
A partially open window to the east of where you climb up should attract any thief, especially since it's the way into the bank and its riches. Save your game before trying to climb into the window, as it may happen that you are somehow propelled into the air by some kind of bug, and once you hit the ground again, Garrett will either be dead or in need of some emergency medical service.

There is
2 vault keys in the first part (1 and 3). And
2 vault keys in the second part (2 and 4). Which one did you find?

Thank you for the detailed path. I tried many times to get on the final slanted roof before the bank but I just couldn't get up there so I gave up,I thought I was not supposed to go there!
