Thief 2: The Metal Age Part 12 walkthrough covering routes to Home, finding the Shalebridge Gate Key, and acquiring loot like 137 gold.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the sewer hatch, run to Whipple Street via the west edge of the Marketplace.
  2. 2
    At the top of Whipple, three guards discuss Truart near a large gate. Turn south-west to find a patrolling swordsman and a merchant on Helena Way.
  3. 3
    Around the corner north-west, a guard patrols to a small bridge over water. Near the west end of this bridge are two boxes; mantle onto them to reach a doorway, allowing you to drop into the water at Sparrow Street for a quick route home.
  4. 4
    Follow the water north and west to a tunnel leading west. Sneak through to avoid alerting two guards above and climb a ladder into a house containing a moss arrow and a broadhead arrow.
  5. 5
    Return down the ladder, turn west into a new watercourse, and follow it north.
  6. 6
    Mantle up on your right and find a door further up the street, north of a street lamp (refer to the eighth mission, Trace The Courier). Inside the shop are various coins worth 137 GOLD (417/0/0|417).
  7. 7
    Leave the shop, turn right (facing north). Across the water under a low roof, a torch shines.
  8. 8
    North is Hill Street with two patrolling bluecoats; one carries broadheads [PP 3]. East of the small bridge at Hill Street's east end, two more guards patrol the north-west of Helena Way, one carrying a Healing Potion [PP 4].
  9. 9
    From the west end of the Hill Street bridge, looking north, you see an arched tunnel with a street lamp. Three approaches to your Home exist from here.
  10. 10
    Approach 1: Drop into the water behind you, take the narrow tunnel north-east, climb out, and open the double doors of the large brick building.
  11. 11
    Approach 2: Move north through the tunnel, turn left, then right to find a single door leading into the same brick building. Climb upstairs to a window to jump across the street above guards.
  12. 12
    Approach 3 (Recommended): Go to the extreme west of Hill Street by the torch, face north. Continue north past another street lamp and a useless single door on your right.
  13. 13
    As you near your Home, two new objectives will appear.
  14. 14
    At the extreme north-west of the map, turn right to find a wooden scaffold. Use a rope arrow to climb it and enter your HOME.
  15. 15
    Inside, two guards patrol. Once in your ROOMS, you meet the first objective [OBJ 1].
  16. 16
    Go to your BEDROOM CLOSET, open the DOOR, and pull the HOOK ON THE LEFT to reveal your stash. This includes a BAG OF GOLD (1795/0/0|1795) and the SHALEBRIDGE GATE KEY [OBJ 2].
  17. 17
    One guard at your front door has broadheads [PP 5]; open the door from the inside to take them safely.
  18. 18
    Escape: Find Helena Way (north) on your map. Go to the east end of the Hill Street bridge, take the nearby alley east, then look south for a lone female guard on a bridge.
  19. 19
    Next to her is a door. Enter, go all the way upstairs, and head east until you reach a high, narrow walkway outside. At the far end is a loaf and a BOTTLE worth 50 GOODS (1795/0/50|1645).
  20. 20
    Climb down the ladder off the edge where the loaf was, turn right down the alley, which leads to the north-west corner of the Marketplace.
  21. 21
    A single bluecoat on the central bridge carries a PURSE worth 100 GOLD (1895/0/50|1945) [PP 6].
  22. 22
    Cross the Marketplace (or run north past two guards) and find the ladder on the side wall of the Bakery (look for the reddish sign with loaves).
  23. 23
    On the other side of the Bakery, you are in an unnamed street running north-to-south.
  24. 24
    Run south, turn left, then left again to find a sewer hatch next to locked double gates.
  25. 25
    The sewer tunnel goes east under the locked gates.
  26. 26
    Lurk in the darkness until two guards pass, then go south to a single door on your left.
  27. 27
    Unlock the next door inside, and avoid going downstairs (leads to the Pub). Go upstairs instead.
  28. 28
    You will find a key, a noisemaker arrow, and a STACK OF COINS worth 25 GOLD (1920/0/50|1970), completing the mission's loot.
  29. 29
    A lever upstairs opens the gate directly below, but it is not required.
  30. 30
    Leave the building via the same door you entered and go north to the double gates.
Tips
  • Using the water route via Sparrow Street is the quickest way to get home.
  • The Shalebridge Gate Key is a crucial objective found in your bedroom closet.
  • The mission's loot can be maximized by collecting 137 GOLD from a shop, 100 GOLD from a guard's purse, and 25 GOLD from a stack of coins.
  • Be cautious of guards patrolling Whipple Street, Helena Way, and Hill Street.
  • The sewer tunnel under the double gates provides access east.
