Thief 2: The Metal Age Part 26 walkthrough: Follow the Pagan, find loot including 25 GOLD and a GOLD CUP, and discover a secret door.
Walkthrough
- 1Save your game in case the Pagan takes too long to appear.
- 2The Pagan will arrive and pick up the MESSAGE.
- 3Follow the Pagan south-west as he moves through the city towards the Graveyard.
- 4In the extreme south, a female guard holds a Healing Potion [PP 14]. This is the last pickable pocket in this mission.
- 5As the Pagan passes two lit archways before the Marketplace, look behind the central pillar for a STACK OF COINS worth 25 GOLD (650/0/50|700).
- 6West of the next sewer hatch, go upstairs in a doorway to find a GOLD CUP (675/0/50|725) and a STACK OF COINS for 5 GOLD (680/0/50|730) in the back rooms.
- 7Enter the Marketplace, being mindful of the bridge and patrolling guards. Use a Speed Potion and Invisibility Potion if needed.
- 8The Pagan will pause in the alley at the north-east corner of the Marketplace, then move west and north under an arch.
- 9When the Pagan goes west, you should go east and north towards the Graveyard.
- 10Look for a wall with two unlit torches. Twist the left torch to open a secret door into a crypt, which leads to the inner Graveyard.
- 11Return to the Pagan. He will be ambushed by three Mechanists outside the Graveyard and run into a crypt.
- 12The two Mechanists will guard the Graveyard gates, but not the secret door.
- 13You are no longer leashed to the MESSAGE and can explore for unpicked pockets and loot.
- 14Stand by the door to the west where two Mechanists emerge. Activate the door to keep it open after the first Mechanist exits, allowing you to get another chance as the second Mechanist emerges.
- 15Go inside and upstairs into the gravedigger's house.
- 16Climb out the window and drop into a locked area of the Graveyard. In one of the crypts, find 2 GOLD CUPS worth a combined 50 GOLD (730/0/50|780). Avoid the zombie.
- 17Mantle over the walls to escape this area into the rest of the Graveyard.
- 18Follow the blood trail left by the wounded Pagan to another crypt.
- 19Two other crypts contain zombies; one also holds a VASE (730/0/100|830).
- 20Enter the crypt at the back, following the blood, to find a swirling red door, the exit [OBJ 1, 4].
