Thief 2 FM - The Art of Thievery (Dec. 8, 2001)

This is one of the most stunningly beautiful, and complicated long missions to date. Whatever happened to RICh.?

Testing your memories playing on ghost level, I need your help.

I have 3 talismans, and have yet to get the air talisman. I need the key to the safe in the office behind barred doors. From what I've read in scrolls, it must be on the person wearing gold armor. How do I trigger his appearance?

If this confuses you, imagine how I feel...:erm:

Funny this got bumped, today is RiCh E birthday, the author of this wonderful FM. Too bad he isn't around anymore.

That is odd! Too bad he's gone. Can I make a bday wish that he comes back and makes more missions? :cheeky:

I've just played through on hard and I didn't see any of those areas, have I missed a huge chunk of the mission somewhere :confused:

also talismans, I've noticed a lot of posts about talismans but no mention of them on hard, do these appear on the hard difficulty ?

I have to say it's an excellent mission though and a definite classic, I missed one of the secrets, the one on top of the taaaaaaaaall bookcase, but got all the other objectives on hard, getting on for seven hours of fun .... a lot more if you count the reloads

I'm surprised I've never played it before

If those pics are from this fm, I would like to know where they are too. I have played normal and hard, and have never see these areas. Thanks for any information! :thumb:

I'm just bumping this to say what a great, classic mission it is. Any of you taffers out there haven't played it, get going! This one has major replay value. I'll be trying it on ghost next time.

I'm stuck finding one of the paintings, which means going through the whole place again. I'm not asking for help yet, though.

I've tried to play the mission on "Ghost" difficulty but it always ends with alerting the guards after getting the sword in the elemental room.
The Nightwalker / ThiefKiller walkthrough says in the last line:

That's it. Now just get back outside

How do you get outside the elemental room without alerting the guards ? :confused:

I do not have any Problems ........ try this:

Close the entrance befor using the fire arrow on the pedestral and make sure that no guard is in the lobby outside the elemental room ......

if this not works .... I have no other idea ...
