Learn about moving guards in Thief: The Dark Project and how their patrols affect task timing. Save your game often in these areas.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Some areas in Thief: The Dark Project feature guards (of one sort or another) that move around and sometimes travel between different areas.
  2. 2
    This patrol movement can make it difficult to determine the exact best time to perform a specific task, as you may not arrive in an area at the same moment during a mission as another player might.
  3. 3
    In areas with moving guards, it is a good idea to save your game (this will be noted at the proper areas).
Tips
  • Observe guard patrol patterns to anticipate their movements.
  • Use the environment for cover (hiding spots) when guards are actively patrolling.
  • Be prepared to adapt your strategy if a guard's patrol route unexpectedly blocks your path.
