GameTIP 1:
For just having fun,use blackjack and make the guard
unconscious.After that carry him & throw him in water
(well )and see him drown.

GameTIP 2:
After getting out of the well ,there is a room
outside which there is a guard roaming .Put off all the
lights using the water arrow.There is a small window
from where you can use the arrow & kill the guard easily
as he cannot see you.

GameTIP 3:
There are some posters on the wall tear them off
with your sword.One poster near the stairs has a secret
road directly into the throne room.



Only works with v1.33
----------------------

Mission Skipping:
-----------------
If you're tired of a particular mission, pressing
"Control-Alt-Shift-End" will cause the mission to
end and allow you to move on to the next mission.

Money cheat:
------------
You can give yourself loot by adding the line
"cash_bonus" to your "dark.cfg." If set to an
integer, its value is added to your loot total
for loadout purposes.

With 'cash_bonus 3000' added to your dark.cfg file, go
into the game. When you get to the "Loadout" screen,
immediately hit ESC, then SAVE, then quit back to the
Desktop.

Go back into the game and LOAD the game you just saved.
You'll return to the Loadout screen, and another 3000 gold
will be added to your purse.

Repeat until you have as much gold as you want/need!


Starting Mission:
-----------------
You can start the game at a mission other than Lord
Bafford's Manor by putting the line "starting_mission X"
in your "dark.cfg," where X is the mission number to
start at. When you select "New Game," you will start
at that mission.

Extra Money in the Training Level:
----------------------------------
When you go through the red door that exits the
training ground, quickly go north. There will be
a table with a golden glass type thing on it.
Pick it up and you will have an extra 50 bucks
when you go to the next level to buy stuff!

Secret Basketball Court:
------------------------
First go through training until you reach the
courtyard. Spar the guard until he goes back
to the area he came from, stop him by hiting
him a few times.

Then grab the key on the table, now go where
the guard came out and go all the way down
the hall until you a door then use the key.
You'll come to a court with a ball in the
middle and find a scroll.

End Mission:
------------
Press CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + END to end mission and go on
to next one

Level skip:
-----------
Press Alt+Ctrl+Shift+End And you will skip the current Level.
NOTE: This only works with the Version 1.33 Patch installed.

Hints
-----

If you're forced into a swordplay situation, try to keep
your back away from the wall. Backing up may be your best
defense. Backpedal from the approaching foe and strike
just as soon as he finishes his attack (who will hopefully
will miss you).

Stealth is your best tactic in nearly all situations, but
remember that a foe who's actively searching for you can
spot you in the shadows from about 12 feet away.

Always try to listen in when you hear a conversation going
on around the corner, you just never know when you might
pick up some useful information.

The Water Arrow to put out torches is very useful when you
want to sneak past a guard in a room full of light. But be
careful, you can only use this when the guard is facing the
opposite direction of the torch, or he will immediately warn
the others.

The poisoning arrow is very useful when there are two guards
standing next to eachother. Just kill one with the arrow and
finish the second one off. He won't be able to warn others.
If there're a lot of people, use the noise arrow to distract
some and finish them off, one by one.

A guard standing alone should always be killed by taking him
out from behind. He shouldn't be able to make any noise.

Gas arrows and fire arrows can take out a group of guard. Also, fire arrows,
holy water arrows and flash bombs can take out a group of the undead.

This is not actually a binary cheats...It's a Skill man.
It works in most of Thief series....

The WALL The WALL The WALL..Look for the WALL.
On encountering any Enemy stay behind the WALL.
Let it be wooden or stone wall . No problem. Then start
slaying the bad guys from behind the wall.Now you can cut to death any
bad guys without much effort and pass your Mission.

O Jack The Ripper do you think it's Unfair going on like this ???
But You win the game.......So Whattt ?
Remember the Maxim ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL

Good Luck In your Thief's Journey
