Re: Thief 2: The Metal Age Secrets - Keeper at Window

[nowzadick]

who is the keeper? Played only the Demo

[TaylorBurk025]

The Keeper's are a faction that plays a role of a true historian. Via remaining detached (I.E. 'Propaganda is written by victors, history is written by... the keepers)

So while the three main groups: City Guard, Pagans, and Hammerittes exist, the Keepers read prophecy, know some tale to destiny, but choose not to interfere. Garrett used to be a Keeper, and was considered the best trainee, but left to pursue the profit of thieving. Yet the Keeper know Garrett will be involved in every prophecy

[bearfreeman]

How about a vid getting into other 'prohibited' areas, like the torture chamber with the locked door in 'Framed', Karras's room in '[can't remember the level's name, but you stand outside a door listening to Karrass talking]', & Karras's room in 'Soulforge', plus the Hammers behind the wall with a small hammer shaped window??

[Stquinn]

Good idea! I've been inside 2 or 3 of those that you mentioned but didn't think to make a video while I was inside. Thanks!

[philhanson240]

I have a save-game where I managed to gas-arrow the second keeper (where he leaves you the note) You can subsequently kill the keeper by wither dropping him to the streets, or hitting him with the sword. If I could use the recording programme I'd put it on here!

[philhanson240]

The trick to it is to have a gas arrow ready as you approach the window, then as soon as he appears, let it hit the very top of the wall. If you try and hit him nothing will happen, but if it goes off against the wall the gas will knock him out. You can pick his body up, but don't go anywhere near his intended route; he'll just dissappear!

I found something later in this mission, not sure if it was a glitch, but it's in the area you turn a torch and it opens a wall. There's also a note in the room that was left for Garrett, apparently from the Keepers. I waltzed in there unknowingly, and a Keeper did the whole jumping-back-in-astonishment thing that unarmed people do when they see you, and he just vanished like in this video...

[iDrinkNozzala]

Awesome! Thanks for posting!

By the way, how were you able to record your computer gameplay?

[Stquinn]

Thanks, I used Fraps.

[KalleAnkasPlanka]

I can't record Thief II with fraps... I've been trying for ages... :(

[aslan187]

i ve tried to hit him with arrows...

in forum some guys managed to do that with gas arrow

[IKurtC]

hehe i always wanted to get in there :) nice removing the window thx for this vid

[mieszalniapasz]

BTW: i cant play Tief I & II on win xp pro and core 2 Quad... Game hangs... Any solutions?

[Stquinn]

I haven't tried running them on my Dual Core yet, but lately, I've heard that they've been hanging up a lot during gameplay. Not sure why.

[InGroove2]

i was under the imnpression you can set the game affinity to just one CPU and that takes of it.

[KalleAnkasPlanka]

With taskmanager, yes?

[InGroove2]

right. find the program running in the task manager, right click, click 'go to process', it'll switch and highlight the process (thief2) in active processes list, right click, "set affinity", make it so only one CPU has a check in the box.

@mieszalniapasz

For thief II download tafferpatcher.

[mieszalniapasz]

Why this window is open? I tried to get in there many times... :/

[Stquinn]

I used game editor (Dromed) to remove window.

[Stormblast2013]

You used for recording HyperCam or something?

[Stquinn]

I used Fraps to record.

[latexi92]

i have blackjacked once 1 keeper but he disappears when he falls down

[alqos]

Thief Gold?

[KavilarPeledroni]

Whoa! For about a few seconds, the Keeper is there. Next thing you know it at 0:48, he dissappears.

I heard on a site that there is a bug that causes the Keeper to appear on the roof. This gives you the question, "Ever blackjacked a Keeper?"

[jci10]

Perfect easter egg exposure. Thanks.

[DragonmasterAl]

lol, i've never played Thief 2, but it looks very similar 2 Thief 1. Thief 3 is the best.

[Drerhu]

thief 3 suxs

[DragonmasterAl]

F*** you hater.

[xtcongo]

Only the gfx in Thief 3 were better, the game itself sux compared to 1 and 2.

[Kebab43]

sometimes the mine will stay in mid air and u can stand on it.

i hope u all will be succsessful with it.

[Kebab43]

I can let u in on a glitch that i found.

high fall no damage with mines.

For this u need lots of mines(the more, the easier),

when falling down from a high surface then look as down as u can and start dropping a mine.The mine will stop u from falling for a moment, keep doing like that til u reached the surface.

i found this glitch when i was trying 2 fall down from high floor and land into mines.

[dmitrymin]

damn, how did you get the window open?

[Phantom914]

he used dromed and deleted them...

[vforvegard]

he used the construction set, DROMED

[Bajinka21]

cool but what happens when you try to shoot him without the window????

[Stquinn]

Good question! Broadheads appear to go right through him and hit the bookshelf behind. The first arrow, however, does draw blood, but he appears totally unaffected and unaware of them, even gas arrows. He's also unaffected by flash bombs and seems unaware of sound. He's programmed to "teleport" when Garrett gets near, and to what destination, if any, I don't know.

[Bajinka21]

oh ok. I tried to get close to it but intead of using vine arrows, i jumped on top of the gigantic metal thing with the zoom effect on all the way. The same effect happens and it just disappers into the air. Anyways thanks for the video which clearly shows it disappears.

[thiefuniwersum]

Good job man! :)

[Eriknorr]

I wish i had this game.

Good video. Much, much better then the laggy one.
