Played Thief for years before discovering... - by Cigam

Yesterday I noticed that Ratmen wears guards uniform. I always thought that in The Sword mission my opponents were human, but now it looks like Ratmen in disguise. Noticing that after nearly 20 years of playing Thief is mind-blowing.

Blackjacking spiders.
Using mousewheel to browse inventory.
Using keyboard shortcuts for lockpicks. :rolleyes:
Retrieving noisemaker arrows.
Taking notes on the map.

Today I discovered the hidden exit of Bonehoard. All this time I have made the long trek all the way back to the beginning to exit, when a hidden exit was there in the final crypts section.
I do remember finding that area in the past but thinking nothing much of it. Obviously I must not have completed all other tasks at that point. Never knew.
Also discovered recently that you can backstab the fireballs. Don't even need a power swing, just a swipe or even an arrow will do. All these years for some reason I assumed water arrows were the only way to deal with them.
Finally, I got hit by a Hammerite's hammer upercut and it lifted me off my feet a small distance. That was quite a blow. Can't remember that ever happening.
P.S. You can't blackjack spiders can you? I mean you can, but it is not a KO?
Retreiving noisemakers? Presumably that must be before they are spent.

I don't know if it counts as a K.O. It's just that I have discovered this only a while ago, before I always killed them with arrows or sword. Regarding noisemaker arrows-I remember playing a FM a couple of years ago, when I struck one in a mansion hall. I think I managed to retrieve one after I used it. Can't confirm now, because it's been a while since I have used one. :p

2 weeks ago I discovered that I can blackjack the burricks. I didn't knew about that.
Yup, you can also blackjack frogbeasts, crouch behind it & try not to stand up as you swing, I'm just sad I can't pick 'em up & use them as grenades

Now go and blackjack a mech beast, very satisfying.
Done that, found a doorway in an FM that it couldn't get through & stood the other side where it couldn't get the gun to shoot me & walloped it with a BJ until it fell apart

Noisemakers don't stick in anything they just bounce off & you can pick them up & re use them afterwards

i discovered u can break those bombrobots if they are in your way when you black jack the remains long enough

I see you can blackjack the little spiders but the big ones just get mad.
I also like chasing down the little bots in Soulforge and clonking them to death. Takes nine hits if I remember, and the clonk sound is quite satisfying.
In recent days I have discovered the quick way down from the Horn Of Quintus tower. Previously I had been retracing my steps all the way down, but all you have to do is jump onto the ledge opposite the horn, then keep running round the wall to your left. You'll eventually drop down a large height but land safely on top of one of the lowest ladders.

Is so, wow that is totally news to me! I could have used this!

I'm pretty sure it was always there in OldDark.
