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

From new things I discovered is that it's possible to take down bigger bot with just 1 gas arrow. I always thought it requires 2 gas arrows. At least that's how it works in Sisterhood of Azura 1.
Wait, what? You can take down bots with gas arrows?
On another note I played through T1, TG and T2 and a few hundred fan missions before finding out about the lean forward function. I can't remember the FM I was playing but there was a secret switch under a desk and the only way to get to it was by leaning forward. My life has been changed forever now that I can lean forward to knock out AI while hiding in the shadows ... It almost feels like a cheat.

Heh, I gotta say, you shouldn't feel like that simply because Thief itself has a Quicksave function, that by itself should be considered a complete cheat, but I don't mind it much myself.

True, quicksave is a bit of a cheat but who could possibly survive without it?

...And today I learned that I can also kill with sword zombie if I whack him a lot. His body doesn't even explode.
...It just takes around 10 whacks when he's down and then he will never stand up or make any noise even if you bump into him.
Nah thats a glitch from saving and reloading the game. I was messing around with Zombies for hours trying to fix their models. Even playing a very old new dark patch before tfix.
Actually that version also had the head follow thing and I reloaded after I flashed them till they dropped and when I reloaded, they were all standing still and their entire bodies were moving.
They actually have a death sound if you look in the snd folder though. Sounds like a dying pig snorting haha
No one mentioned the secret infinite bouncy arrow in T2 Ambush. I read all 8 pages to see if anyone mentioned it. That was the most fun ever to use. It so easy to lose it though since it bounces a lot.
I just realized while trying to ghost, the 4 Burricks in Bonehoard by the Horn are entranced and can't see or hear you until after you take the horn.
Also I thought I just found out the elemental energy thing in Bafford right before I read the post about it on here (watched the entire interview btw)
I thought it was wireless energy transfer, but I guess it's wireless elemental power? I never knew what those things were :laff:. Explains all the things on top the lights
Someone was on my Bro's twitch stream of Thief Gold (I think he was on RTC) and said "You can lockpick mines to disarm them" We were in such disbelief
I loaded RTC and tried. I was so close trying picks on it that I leaned into it and died. I said it didn't work on the stream and my Bro was like "obviously he was trolling"
Now I found out its only possible in T2 from this thread LOL. He wasn't trolling I guess :laff:. At least Mono on DromEd says Mine Disarmed.

i guess there is 4 elemental types, fire,water,earth and air only fire was in om's and in fan missions i seen water/earth/air along with fire elemental
i would guess its the air element that does lamps?
any mention of a fifth element in thief lore ever?

Draws the scribed Star, marks the Compasses.
The Eye, shows the marksey lines of power.
Marks the Compass Borning, the Compass Leaf,
the Stormsie Compass, the Flamesie Compass,
the Compass Tidestream, the Compass Stone,
the Compass Darkness.
Weights each Starsie point with Elements of the Compass, with pure truest.
Weights the Center with the Eye, fed mansblood,
sees the Compasses and the bloodtrail to the trueworld.
Each Compass walks the Elements forth,
paints to the Eye colors of heartsmaw Chaos,
for follow the Eye back to the mansie world.
Binds the Eyevisions, gathers the sights the glories,
open fulls the Eye to See forth the world,
bloodcalled, compasspainted, chaosfed,
paintings on the world the image is showed.
The elements of fire, water, earth and air correspond to the Flamsie, Tidestream, Stone and Stormsie compasses respectively.
Since there are also compasses of Darkness, Leaf and Borning we can infer that they are also elements.
Given that the classic Greek elements sometimes incorporates "void" as the fifth element we could assume that that to correspond to Darkness.
As for Leaf and Borning, I would hazard a guess that they might refer to plant and animal life as being elements.

The Air mage summons an air elemental that phases into you or something to attack

It might be some kind of air elemental that does lights though since clouds make electricity, so makes sense.

The Cragscleft Prison mission fails if you climb out of the mines to the surface - the mission explicitly wants Garrett to sneak through the mines.
Specifically, in the first room of the mine after the dive there is a shaft on the left leading to the surface.
If you stack some crates up to climb out, the mission will fail.

Oh, that´s pretty simple. Just take two boulders, stack them at the low end of the board and pull yourself up.
There is a nice view, but nothing is up there :)
If you want a little challenge, it is possible to enter the Cragscleft mines dry.
Because we all know Garrett doesn´t want to soak his precious robe.
PM me and I show you a video as proof :P
