ok if you dont want to see easy ways to do things in thief please do not read any further


ok first knocking out a enemy while alerted,here is my trick that i use,this excludes haunts or any ai that cant be knocked out ofcourse,but "say they are running after you all you do is do a quick run behind them,and black jack them,try to get directly behind them while they angry and aim for the center of there head seems to work best,if you get the sweet spot you can knock anyone out easy while they alerted,the knock out rate on this varies depending on how good you are at it,i get about a 90-95% myself,sometime it take a few hit to find it,but sometime it is knock to kill them after a good amount of black jack,lighting dont matter on this tip


say you in a somewhat dark area,and you are inside that area,you can alert as many guards as you can,by jumping for what even suits your fancy to alert them,but be sure to stay in the dark,then as they come to look for you,just run behind them and knock them out,as long as they dont see you ,it is a 100% knockout rate,additional tip,while they searching for you never get to close to the front of them,it can alert them,then refer to top tip


say forsome reason you are being chased by a bunch of guards and you dont feel like reloading a saved game,for the more realist effect,this is what i do find a bunk bed in a room mantle up in and squat in corner of it ussaly 99% of maps that area will go dark in the lightgem,then go pour yourself a drink and relax for about 5 min at most ussaly,then go back and enjoy,if they is no bunkbed,they is ussaly something in all maps you can get the guards to stop,as in ledges,most anything with a level change and no ramp works,it really comes down to how the person made the ai,i played some where the guards chased me in water,they ended up drowning cause they wanted me so bad

There are multiple dozens of things you can do in the game. Try to play the game without getting chased or getting the AI's attention...you'll learn some things you couldn't learn otherwise.

Zombies explode if you hit them in their exposed spine with a fire-arrow. But don't use all you fire-arrows. Save 5 for the Bonehoard and one for the Haunted Cathderal.

For fun, funny, and unusual tips, read up on all the old stuff that was written in years past. Let's not forget the pioneers, veteran taffers!
