THIEF FM House of the Architect (no commentary, segmented, expert, all loot, supreme ghost*)

Author: TheDataElemental New Dark 10th Anniversary Contest Mission download: https://www.thiefguild.com/fanmission... Forum thread: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthrea... Walkthrough (Fortuni): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cEPQ... *As usually, I refer to the style of play, because I had to use the above walkthrough in order to find all loot and secrets. I'm not quite sure if my supreme ghost attempt, my first one I must say, was altogether successful, I tried the best I could to apply all the rules. I found the mission pretty difficult for supreme, with many tricky areas, noisy floors and many overlapping enemies. I might have got busted from afar, as I wasn't able to hear very distant alerts. Don't be fooled by the segmented playthrough, I had hundreds of busts and failures and in many cases my successful attempts were the outcome of many tries and used those failures to know the place or route of enemies. A very nice mission, I liked it a lot. I did get all available loot, but, as you can see in the walkthrough, 265g is missing. ‪@klatre‬ would probably be proud, or so I hope. 0:00 start 11:20 Objective, "Break into the architect's mansion". 12:51 That door I came back later to lock again. 23:21 As it is mentioned in the forum by cavador_8 (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthrea... also experienced a major frame rate issue in that entire floor, and it might be visible. 35:25 Sorry about all the delay here, I was trying to figure out the best approach to get that goddamn diamond from the chess board, one of the most difficult moves for supreme, enemies everywhere in 2 levels. If you prefer, jump up ahead to 41:36. 43:50 Rope arrowing up there is I think the only possible way to get the loot of that upper area without busting supreme, and it is one of the most difficult. 52:47 I saved there because I just wanted to show you a couple of areas in the roof in which I didn't need to go. 54:00 First that hammerite place, with nothing in it. 56:04 Next that area which has only a gas arrow and a speed potion and it's like an easter egg, but I haven't found a way to escape it unharmed, although I didn't give it much try. 56:32 Reloaded the save and continued. 1:03:01 I show later where you can go down in that hatch. 1:12:37 That hatch on the other hand I forgot to show the place you can come down. Anyway, don't need to use any of those. 1:18:03 I missed 2 coins and returned. 1:20:51 Also rope arrowing on that tree is the best way upstairs for supreme. 1:25:00 Another very difficult move to go up those stairs. 1:37:45 I don't know if that frog alerts, possibly it does, but I preferred to get the loot from that area and most important the Lord's key. 1:40:50 Nothing in this room, just showing it. 1:46:15 Another difficult move to get out of that door. 1:50:10 I saved and will reload (1:51:03), just showing where this leads to the roof. 1:58:14 Objective, "Recover Bafford's scepter". 1:58:42 Another copy of Lord's key. 1:58:57 Nothing usefull in that chest, some arrow I think. 2:01:18 I took Lord's key first and then covered the next area, more easy, and I also relocked the door. 2:02:52 Just showing where this leads (see 1:03:01). 2:16:04 I go through the entire same area just to relock the door (1:20:04) I had unlocked with the lockpicks. Boring, I know, if you like jump ahead to 2:25:25. 2:30:32 She alerts to the sound of the closing door if she's close. 2:32:05 Another difficult area, lots of attempts and failures. 2:41:16 In all this area I don't know if those fire shadows (I don't know how they are called) first alert. I think not. 2:49:54 Objective, "Recover Constantine's sword". 2:55:01 I'm returning Lord's key to the frog room. 3:01:45 I enter this room now and not before, cause I have Lord's key and can relock the door. 3:07:32 Putting back Lord's key where I took it. 3:17:38 I preffered this way to go back, a lot faster, eventhough the jump is very difficult. 3:19:10 In another playthrough I managed to drop and mantle on that water pooring bulge/statue. But that worked also, got lucky there.
