Thief 2: The Metal Age Part 20 guide details accessing the Vault, finding the master key, and collecting all loot including 75 GOLD from a safe.
Walkthrough
- 1From the large stairwell, go west along a carpeted hall with four doors. Watch for two patrolling swordsmen; one holds a key [PP 14]. The first door on the right leads to a storage closet. The middle door's corridor has already been explored. Enter the first door on the right to find a small safe containing a BAG OF GOLD worth 75 GOLD (854/0/430|1284).
- 2You can skip the rooms to the east, the Great Hall, the room west of the Great Hall, and the narrow corridor south of that room, as they contain nothing significant except a single moss arrow in the Great Hall's greenery display.
- 3Return to the carpeted corridor and take the door leading south. In this room, a Child patrols. On the western shelves, find 4 STACKS OF COINS (894/0/430|1324). On the eastern shelves, find 4 STACKS OF COINS (921/0/430|1351) and 4 PAIRS OF COINS (929/0/430|1359). On the desk are 2 STACKS OF COINS (966/0/430|1396).
- 4The room to the south connects four zones of Bank's Floor One and is patrolled by a Child. The key you've been collecting opens the west door (it can also be picked). Turn off the lights at the switch to reduce visibility. Loot the desk for 2 STACKS OF COINS (976/0/430|1406). Three safes contain a combined 250 GOLD (1226/0/430|1656), and the fourth has a Healing Potion. Head south behind the Lobby desk to gather 9 STACKS OF COINS worth 45 GOLD (1271/0/430|1701).
- 5Back in the room with the four safes, go through the west door. Grab the VASE worth 50 GOODS (1271/0/480|1781) on the table to the right, then return.
- 6Next, go through the east door. The north door leads back to the atrium. Heading south leads to a counting room with a camera against the south wall. Avoid the camera and collect 6 STACKS OF COINS (1342/0/480|1822) and 4 PAIRS OF COINS (1350/0/480|1830) on the counter; spam your right-mouse button to find these hard-to-see coins.
- 7To access the Vault, cross the Lobby and enter the room in the south-west. Find a GOLD VASE (1425/0/480|1905) and a safe containing water arrows.
- 8In the room to the north, a camera is on your left. Get underneath it and use the switch in the corner to turn it off. An archer patrols here carrying a key and broadheads [PP 15, 16]. A small Child may also wander through. Collect 3 PAIRS OF COINS on the table (1437/0/480|1917) and a moss arrow in the big safe.
- 9Climb the small staircase and open the door. Find a PAIR OF COINS on the platform (1439/0/480|1919). Continue to the top of the stairs and jump through the open window to reach previously inaccessible rooms behind a locked gate. Unpick the double doors. The floor panel inside turns on the lights; turn them off again with the button in the back corner to prevent Children seeing you through the window. On the desk is a STACK OF COINS worth 25 GOLD (1464/0/480|1944). Two GOLD VASES on a cabinet are worth 150 GOLD (1614/0/480|2094). Find a bronze key on the desk, which is a master key opening all doors in the Bank except the Vault and Security-Deposit Boxes. Use it to open an outer door to the south, leading to a balcony escape route.
- 10Use the master key to return to the top of the staircase, then take the west door. Two Children patrol here. Work around the curved ledge, through the door (a Speed Potion is on the cabinet), then down the small staircase.
- 11Unlock the METAL DOOR, then flip the SWITCH to DISABLE THE CAMERA facing the Vault door. Grab the vase on the cabinet for 15 GOODS (1614/0/505|2119). Turn right (south) along the corridor. Using moss arrows, find in the curved room to the right 2 CUPS worth 25 GOLD and 15 GOODS (1639/0/520|2159), a VASE worth 100 GOODS (1639/0/620|2259) beside a Slow-fall Potion, and another VASE for 25 GOODS (1639/0/645|2284).
- 12Go back to the VAULT, open the DOOR, and enter. Stick to the shadows to avoid the two cameras inside. If not going for a pure stealth run, you can shoot them out with fire arrows. Go up the elevator, find the ladder, and at the top, open SAFETY-DEPOSIT BOX 11 with your copied KEY to collect the MECHANIST RECORDING [OBJ 3].
Tips
- The master key obtained in step 9 opens all doors in the Bank except the Vault and Security-Deposit Boxes.
- The Mechanist Recording can be cycled in your inventory and listened to again until it is lost in a subsequent mission.
- Spam your right-mouse button on counters to find hard-to-see coins.
- Use moss arrows to navigate quietly in certain areas.
- Consider disabling cameras to make looting easier.
