Well, I can't put it off any longer. Sure, I could spend some more time grabbing 25 loot here, 50 loot there, and start funding Garrett's 401(k), but I have to face the facts... the Cradle has now been opened to me, and I'm gonna have to go in.
So this'll probably be my last sane post, unless I try liveblogging my process through it. (expected sample entry: GAAAAGGGHH!)
Without spoiling what I should expect inside, can I get some general recommendations of what to take with me? I've got several thousand dollars to spend on flash bombs, fire arrows, and life insurance. What would you recommend I throw into my backpack?

Flash Bombs, Fire Arrows, Mines, Holy Water and diazapan. :eek:

Gather your courage, and as ffox said, flash bombs, fire arrows, mines, & holy water.
And me, of course. I'm the Fifth Element. I'll protect you.
(Except when it comes to the undead then forget it - you're on your own.) :cheeky:

You shouldn't have too hard a time with it. People have been giving you tips on the level for what, a month now, in preperation :P? The level's much more frightning when you go in not knowing anything (as I did).
Still, best of luck to you :thumb:

Yeah, I'll be carefully reading over the notes I got in an earlier thread, no question! :) I guess I'm looking for a "best bang-for-the-buck" guide.
For instance, fire arrows are $250, while flash bombs are $100. Is it better then to have 2 fire arrows, or 5 flash bombs?
'course, money's not too much of an issue since Garrett is pretty loaded. He hasn't bought a single item yet from a Thief-Mart, except for the climbing gloves. Haven't needed too. Maybe I shoulda been playing something tougher than Normal mode... but what did I know??

Mosley: xxxoooxxx :cheeky:
MF: See you on the other side.

The only weapon thow doth need is STEALTH and a good pair of running shoes. You get the running shoes after the climbing gloves but before the bow upgrade. :sly:

And don't forget to lay in a massive supply of PATIENCE.
Don't try to "Beat" the mission. You'll only kill yourself. Be sneaky, be patient, be a quivering coward. And most of all THINK BEFORE YOU CREEP. :)

Running shoes? I'd settle for just a rubber-soled pair of sneakers. "Never mind the gold locks for sale, Mr. Thief-Mart Proprieter - can you sell me a replacement for these hobnail boots that I seem to insist on wearing on every mission I go on? And do you have
Swimming For Dummies, by the way? I forgot how."
I gave the bow upgrade back to the pagan shaman - wasn't worth the $2500 gold I paid for it. :(

Hey, sweet - I'm 3-for-3! So I am
ready for this mission!
Ok, well, at least 2 out of 3 isn't bad, right?
Ok, fine, I'm just 1-for-3. Shut up. :(
:) No, seriously, what's really drawn me into the Thief games (and I just started playing them fairly recently for the first time) was the sneaking aspect. My normal style of playing a regular FPS, even if I
am loaded for bear, is to carefully sneak through each room and clear it out entirely before proceeding to the next area. I've never been a run-'n'-gunner, and the Thief series has meshed perfectly with my preferred style of gameplay.
