Ah well...I still feel like a genius for solving that riddle in the library's secret area.

Ok what is the answer anyone?
And is there anything to do in the throne room. Just moved the 1 statue and can´t find anything else to do

Now it appears a body a KOed is getting found while I am upstairs and unable to move it.

Here are the location of my KOed bodies:

1. In the bathroom of one of the servants who lives in that hall adjacent to the dish-washing area of the kitchen. - Bathroom door is closed as is the servants bedroom door. ALL my KO's except for 2 are here.

2. A single guard is tucked deep into the shadow part under a spiral staircase

3. A single guard is in the bedroom of the Chamberlain. The door is closed behind him

4. A single guard in the machinery/generator room. Door closed of course.

So are these bodies safe or NOT? Tell me now so I can restore and clean things up.

Tell you what. I'd rather be forced to ghost because at least then your failure is immediate. Here it seems the intuition that bodies are safe if they are obscured from patrol routes is not good enough. Furthermore, scripted events spawn NPCs in ways you cannot predict. It's a recipe for disaster.

You need solve the puzzle there.
Look at the floor.

Just had time to look at the start and will resume later. Looks good. Looks really good.

Can someone confirm how bright it should be at the start. Some months ( a year?) since I played Thief and this is a different monitor. It looks like daylight. I'm turning down the gamma so the rocks I'm walking over look very dark but can just see the texture. Is that about right? (I guess I ought to re-install an OM to calibrate.)

Stuck again (on Largo)! Yet again i'm running around all over the place without a clue as to where to go.
I solved the throne room puzzle, mixed the mixture in the doctor's office and was told by Anger to come find him. But i can't find him anywhere?

You checked his apartments?

OK, reloaded OM to calibrate gamma. So the start here really is quite light.

Stuck in a different spot now - I've [spoiler]swapped the score and now its time to watch the presentation. I've gotten into the attic area and got the tinderbox with flares or whatever you find in that room with the spiders and I can't figure out how to see the presentation without being noticed. [/spoiler]I've combed the attic area a half dozen times but still can't figure it out.

When you enter the attic area for the first time from the ceiling grate, to see the presentation, stay on that side of the attic. Walk to the end of this corridor to a grate into a tall-thin room and drop down. (You'll know if its the right one when you walk out of the curtains and see guards to the right outside the hall.) Inside this small room is a window that can be opened, with a thin ledge leading to a balcony. Get over there and enter the doorway, and a cutscene will take place.

Edit: Ack! Didn't see there was another page. Nevermind.

This was my first reaction when I saw the objective, though at the time I didn't know NPCs would spawn in places I can't predict. Luckily I haven't had to blackjack anyone. Well... I wish I could crack Garrett's skull sometimes when he won't mantle/climb properly...

These are probably your culprits.

4: You could move upstairs in the shadows.

Edit:
And has anyone found the rainbow on mission 1? It's not an egg.
