[andrx04]

many thanks for sabs for ppl whose native language isnt english

[andrx04]

ill never forget my first time in this i played at night arrrhh that was ... like .. i got the feeling of every noise .. damn ... dis level is brilliant as hell..

[marti386]

I found this to be one of the spookiest games I ever played. More so than most horror based games. Maybe it's the spookiness combined with the stealth mechanic. Garrett isn't some bulked-up 'roid fueled super dude, he's just a clever sneak thief. I felt much more vulnerable hiding in the shadows to avoid the monsters in this game, than if a were shooting them with a rocket launcher. Still an Awesome game. If you haven't played it, go out and get it. Remember - Thief 4 is comming! :-)

[starrevan38]

this is the scariest experience i have ever experienced in my life as a gamer. no way iam ever going to try out silent hill or amnesia

[Sycsa]

Play it as an FPS, it's a lot more scary that way and it's also how the series should be played.

[saum510]

So you only find the bad things in the exercise yard?

[rayblack2004]

even the nature of the special loot items is disturbing - nice touch Ion Storm

[SergiuZ27]

But what happens if you enter the cage BEFORE you meet lauryl?

[SergiuZ27]

Can you simply go in the nursery tower and get info about the hag, and get out from the cradle ?

[GinryuStargazer]

Does anyone know exactly who or what is the cradle that is running in that window Eener1000 mentioned?

[UnsignedVoid32]

@GinryuStargazer Its a puppet of the Cradle, very similar to a zombie (only a bit stronger). I guess its a former patient ;)

[rayblack2004]

@UnsignedVoid32 they are all former patients, haunting their old areas

[UnsignedVoid32]

@rayblack2004 Yeah, and they all have individual behaviours. suitable to the descriptions of them ;)

[GinryuStargazer]

@UnsignedVoid32 Oh thank you but I know what those are XD I was just wondering if anyone knew WHICH patient, I guess; I should've specified. I then presumed it was that one woman who was allowed to run with the ashes of her child--wasn't she #6?

[UnsignedVoid32]

@GinryuStargazer Yes, #6 is right. I dont know which patient it is, but maybe you can find it out if you follow him ;) Maybe he is the sleepwalking patient. Seems he is on the way to the morgue^^

[AWonderingWarrior]

Third person prespective always makes a scary scene weaker. Because you have a larger distance of view and can see much clearly as to where everything is. If you played this level for the first time in the first person prespective then you would be very scared. You cannot see behind you. So you would not know whether or not a ghost you just passed is going another way or after you. And besides it is suppose to be a stealth game so throwing grenades is not making this level that scary.

[superdude22233]

why is there only a fusebox in the fucking basement! ;D

[SergiuZ27]

But I don't understand one thing: When the place in dark, it's abandoned. But when Garrett replaces the fuse the light gets on. But when are the undeads appear? And why?

[djscottdog1]

@SergiuZ27 there is this door and it only opens when you put the power on , its a cage like to keep them in

[Trecobezor]

i hate this level. it really scares me even though you dont encounter much. i suppose its the lights or the audio or both. im also quite scared of that odd running thing in the first pagan level next to the tree. WHAT IS IT??

[ale9z]

me thought that "emotional humors in guts" was a fantasy of scary gruard.

[gmanleader0]

I do NOT like this mission at all :'(

LOL i think i still have a Quicksave from me entering the cradle.. which was the last save i made since i stopped playing XD

[ZancHOS47]

nice camera, this is like the best quality i ever seen for these videos of the cradle.

[MOHAAVIDEO]

how did you stop it from crashing all the time? like mine does

even with the patch

[mukkimmajjomm]

ok.. i saved the little girl, and i can leave too... BUT WHERE DO I FIND SOME INFO ABOUT THE HAG ?????????????

[nikolasthethief]

@mukkimmajjomm in the nursery tower, there where you've found lauryl's diary it's on the floor beside the table if I recall well. This is the spookiest mission in the history of e-gaming, it's totally sick

[StubbsZombie12]

I don't get it. I got 100 % of the whole mission task and I still don't know where is the damn note about the hag!

[TheG4rret]

you find it in the past when you can go up to the tower garret says that he must do something before he can leave so you must go to the baby tower where is some info about her :D

[StubbsZombie12]

@TheG4rret

Thanks! You were really helpfull! Now I finished the game and I'm

beginning it on the harder level! :)))

[tsifj]

!!!!!: The only problem I have untill now is finding info about the Hag. pls help!!:!!!

[RaslanFTW2]

how u do u picklock really fast when u get the right side of the puzzle it just go openned is there some kind of thing or training that can do this?!!? i take i year the lock keep going right left right left right left it don't know if it gonna open or not lol please answer back... =-)

[Eener1000]

That puppet racing by in front of the window as you enter the hall of records still gets me everytime!

[starrevan38]

@Eener1000 after seeing it, i said to my self that iam not alone here. then i stopped playing this game for a week until i finally decided to do something. now i have almost completed this stupid level but i forgot to collect loot....

[Bufa491us]

Im not going trick or treating at the Shalebridge Cradle. It's already scary, they don't need scary props....they already have ghosts....the REAL ones

[Bufa491us]

QUESTION: If the place is old and abandon, then why is water still going through the pipes?...its still leaking....i beat the game 5 or 6 times...and I alway noticed that

[ktwq]

Maybe everyone is too scared to go in and fix the plumbing. Haha

[Bufa491us]

haha=)

[NeoItoh]

@ktwq Or, possibly, the Cradle itself is keeping the water flowing, because that is how it remembers things and the way it believes they should be.

[EdTheBadass]

@ktwq

I'm-a not-a scared!

Comm-e Luigi! Let's fix this! Yahooooo

[NeoItoh]

@Bufa491us The building has a mind of its own. Do you notice how the lights pulsate, as if they're breathing slowly? What is there to keep the Cradle from trying to maintain as much as it remembers and believes is the natural order?
