There's a note somewhere in the Inventor's place about the detonator. The warehouse where it's located is in the most northwest corner of the map.

That will help. Thank you.

I've dissected many many FMs in Dromed while writing walkthroughs, but this thing is beyond me.
I've read every scroll, book, and ledger in the area. The only keys I've found so far are the Landlord's, and the Alternate Bookstore Entrance. I've also got 11 objectives on the screen and only Goal #2 has been completed (Find out what's going on.)
There are 47 QVAR traps, 6 QVAR triggers, 5 RequireAllTraps, and a crap load of other triggers and relays that go around in circles, triggering each other on and off. All this is mapped out in Excel, and I STILL can't figure out how to get past the Southquarter Gate.
I've gleaned from the posts that "something" is supposed to be set near the coil at this gate and then the voltage set to 360 to cause an explosion. What that "something" is, I haven't been able to determine. A straight up spoiler is needed.

You need to get the electric cylinder in the City Watch Storage near the docks. You'll find a book in the bookstore to help with the lock if you need it.

I've read the book, but isn't the CWS the one with the orange lock? The 3rd lockpick is in the tavern in a chest, and I can't get there.

I feel like I really accomplished something after reading Ricebug's original post above. :cheeky: Yeah, some of the scripting for this mission got a little messy and complicated, but it does actually work. It could have been done simpler I'm sure, but once I got started I couldn't really go back.
An answer to your question though:
You need to find the storage with the red lock. It's just down the street from where the blockade to the docks is. It might look orange, but it's red. You can get through it using only the standard lockpicks, but you'll need to consult the lockpicking book in the book store. You'll find the magnetic coil in there.

And all this time I was under the impression that the special 3rd lockpick was needed for that lockbox.:mad:

Hey, Brethren! Finally started playing Thief 3 (I did the first mission couple times before but hopefully this time I actually PLAY it through). And the first conversation I heard with my first step out on Southquarter described your plot exactly! That is awesome, man, and a fine alternative to a plot after Thief 2. :D
If I may ask, are you working on a sequel of some sort? Your story was so awesome that there is more potential to it beyond this mission IMO.

Look for a dead thief laying in the street. There are some crates nearby where his head is pointing. Move them.
