Follow this detailed walkthrough for Part 44 of Thief 2: The Metal Age, covering secret doors, valuable loot like gems and masks, and navigating security rooms.
Walkthrough
- 1Look for a small lever in the wall beside the fireplace to open a secret door behind you, allowing passage to the south Study. If you entered the south Study first, find a button beside the dresser opposite the fireplace to open the secret tunnel.
- 2Before proceeding, grab the fire arrow from the fireplace.
- 3Upstairs, find the SPECTACLES for 150 GOLD (1007/100/0|1107) on a chair.
- 4Locate a small switch on the front of the desk to open a hidden door in the south Study.

- 6Upstairs in the south Study, find a chest with a PURSE OF 100 GOLD (1107/300/0|1407).
- 7On the bed in the south Study, find a NECKLACE worth 100 GOLD and 75 GEMS (1207/375/0|1582).
- 8Return to the Foyer and go through the door in the north-east corner to reach Gervaisius's Terrarium.
- 9In the Terrarium, collect two moss arrows from plant pots. Avoid the Servant.
- 10Through the next door is a tiled hallway with a guard behind a window. Bolt past the camera and open the unlocked door to the left.
- 11Enter the security room to disable all cameras on Floor 3.
- 12Find a lever in the wall of the guard post (its function is unknown).
- 13[SECRET #3] Locate a small switch on the bottom of the northernmost security panel. Pulling it opens a secret door in the south wall, granting access to the north corridor.
- 14Fire a vine arrow at the wooden ceiling to reach the beams.
- 15Go west along the north corridor and shoot out the torch below at the far end.
- 16Once clear, drop down and pick the locks on the double doors.
- 17Inside, you will find an archer and a Child. Run past the archer, grab his broadheads [PP 1], and look down into the middle of the room.
- 18The CULTIVATOR is on a pedestal in the middle of the room. Shoot out all four torches.
- 19Drop a moss arrow on the pedestal, then fire a vine arrow at the middle of the central beam.
- 20Run and jump onto the vine, descend, and grab the CULTIVATOR [OBJ 3].
- 21Drop into the darkness on the floor, then fire another moss arrow at the tiles to cross back to the north corridor.
- 22Fire a vine arrow at the ceiling above you and climb up to the beams to enter the north-west Exhibition room.
- 23With the blue lights off, drop down into the central area and collect 3 MASKS worth a combined 150 GOODS (1207/375/150|1732).
- 24Vine arrow back up and go to the next Exhibition room to the east. Drop down to find 2 MASKS worth a combined 100 GOODS (1207/375/250|1832) and your first PRECURSOR MASK [OBJ 1].
- 25Return to the Foyer and turn off the green lights.
- 26Go to the remaining Exhibition Room in the north corridor and collect another 3 MASKS (1207/375/400|1982).
- 27Go to the south-east Exhibition Room (also green), collect 2 MASKS (1207/375/500|2082) and a second PRECURSOR MASK [OBJ 1].
- 28Return to the Foyer and disable the red lights.
- 29In the central room of the south corridor, collect 3 MASKS (1207/375/650|2232).
- 30In the south-west Exhibition Room, collect 2 MASKS (1207/375/750|2332) and the third and final PRECURSOR MASK, completing [OBJ 1].
- 31Go to the double doors at the end of the south corridor, pick the lock, and go out to the balcony. Ensure you have collected all loot from Floor 3.
- 32Drop a moss arrow and vine arrow down to the Storage room below, waiting for the guard to pass if necessary. Enter the Storage room.
- 33The Storage room exits to the south-west balcony of the Ballroom. Be aware of the patrolling swordsman, archers, and guards.
- 34Use a vine arrow to reach the beams in the Ballroom's south-east corner to find a JEWELLERY BOX containing a DIAMOND worth 100 GEMS (1207/475/750|2432).
- 35Vine arrow down to the middle of the main floor.
Tips
- Floor 3 has four more archers to steal from, one per separate corridor stretch [PP 2, 3, 4, 5]. Use vine arrows to get behind them stealthily.
- You can collect items in the Exhibition Rooms by climbing down vine arrows instead of disabling traps, but it is fiddly.
- If the archer on the Ballroom balconies gets stuck in a short, looping patrol, reload the game.
- Be aware that patrolmen may enter the Ballroom and get stuck (a bug related to saving and reloading), potentially increasing the number of guards.
