Pedro,
Thanks for the hints on sword fighting. I have improved a lot.:) The key lesson was to circle clockwise. For some reason I was always going counterclockwise with not so good results. Actually, clockwise is counterintuitive to me because clockwise is moving from the front in the direction of the sword hand (on my left, AI's right). Still, it works. I was able to kill 4 in one battle and 3/4 of the bosses with the sword. I just "finished" the Tough skill with all but 50 loot and one glitch, possibly a bug. I damaged Agelciro to the extent that he ran away, but I could never find him again. Two other bosses ran away, and I found them OK and finished them off. The other one I got using mines from a nice perch. I've been everywhere in the mission that I know about, 2-3 times, and Agelciro is gone. He is not in the water or any of the small stairwells. My guess is that he fell through the floor into the lava. Do you know of some hiding place he might be? If not, I am going to declare victory and move on. Agelciro is a coward anyway. Let him bleed.:)

That´s right , the best way to defeat an oponent is to hit him clockwise:thumb: , as for the loot, there´s no bug, unless some of it fell along with their owner undeads, as for Algeciro or he feel into some hole or he flew to: [SPOILER]6 places, there is only 6 flew points, two of them are in a big area (the one with a big open ceiling and with acess to the lowest level of the mission) another fp is in those stairs that gives you acess to the upper big area, another fp not very far is in the stairs that links the upper big area to a corridor with alot of torches, another fp is located in a water in a dark area, and the last fp is located in the area of the boss "casemiro" the ninja. Hope this helps. [/SPOILER]

Algeciro is definitely not in play anywhere. He must have fallen into the lava.
EDIT: I ended the mission artificially and found I had all the loot. I remember now that I picked Algeciro's pocket, so that was not lost.
Stats:
86 kills
24 / 81 pockets
damage dealt 2018
damage taken 12
time: 5:18
I spent a lot of time planning moves and sneaking around, trying to get pockets. This is Thief, after all. :) Once you get the killing down, the next challenge is the pockets. The utimate challenge would be zero damage and all the loot.

I must agree With Jack Thompson that some videogames are violent for children, they get to influenced by the games, and they turn reallity into a killing zone. I heard about two years ago a sad case here in my country in south were a kid played a FPS the whole night and in the morning he went out to the streets with a shootgun a started to shoot any habitant on sight and in the end he killed himself.:tsktsk: That´s why i think videogames should be only for people over 21 years old, i mean violent games. I had only the chance to play games at 14 years old, my parents never allowed me before that age to play videogames.
I was the only kid in my classroom without a megadrive, mastersystem, gameboy, segasaturn, nitendo and computer, i had only a tv, movies , radio, books and toys.

Pickpocking undeads sounds another great and challenging type of gameplay, yes i´ve tried already that, harder but possible in this mission:cool:

I appreciate this threrad is a bit dead now, but.....
Just enjoyed playing this for about the 5th time!
This time I hit a bit of a problem:
As I was chased by Malvacino, we came across Casemiro near a flee point.
The two had a bit of a disagreement and one killed the other. This didn't give me the kill objective, so it is not possible to finish. :joke:
