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

Back in '99 (cue old man talking voice) I played TDP all the way through before realizing on the 2nd reload of Thief Gold that burricks can be blackjacked.
This knowledge helped me accomplish two things: One, I was able to complete Bonehoard in less than three weeks, being that I was borrowing a friend's computer at the time. Second, it helped to alleviate guilt, as I associate burricks with dogs, and now I could tell myself that they're just having a nice little nap and will wake up later.

Only recently discovered that inside the tree in The Maw, that "star path" can be used to get up to the top. Just jump into it then walk up it.
Been playing for years and still don't know how to open that metal grille door in the Watchman's Grave area of THC. Can't seem to find a switch or lever and it would be so much simpler to get out that way than exiting via the roof beams.
Again with THC, apparently there is some loot near the fallen building where you start, but I have clicked all over the areas around it without finding it.

I'm curious too. It seems like it should be openable, but I haven't found a way.

You can't open it

Walk around the fallen building and look on the ground under the solid.

Ah thanks. Pity about the door - possibly the only door in TG that seems like it ought to be openable but isn't. But finally found the THC loot.
Another recently discovered thing. In Undercover you can flip the switches in any order. Given the way the document telling you about them was written, I had always assumed that you needed to follow the given order and always done it this way.
And still do not know where that reward in RttC is. Bury a brother and he tells you about a switch at a corner of a mural in the Winter Tunnels. I Have never found it :)

About the reward in RttC in the Winter tunnels. Once down there,
enter the room and stay facing the mural. On the far right upper side there´s a small tile or something that you can frob. Once you do it, a door will open on the wall to your left.

Ah thanks. So 14 years after first playing RttC, I finally step inside that hidden room :)
I had tried googling the answer obviously, but couldn't find detailed enough instructions. That extra mine and Holy water will come in useful.

Water arrows can wash away blood stains. Holy crap.

Actually I remember the blood thing from the manual, but I guess modern releases do not include it. Or people no longer read them. I know I don't.
I still do not know, in Bonehoard, how to get that gemstone without triggering the traps. The one you have to go past the fireshadow and and shoot five firearrows to get to. I am sure I am jumping correctly over the light patch before the steps, but nonetheless the trap triggers. Then the seond lot trigger even if I put the skull in before taking the gem.

I use 2 rope arrows there on the beams to get to the stairs railing. Then walk up to it. No traps trigger until I pick up the gem.
