Thief II: Backward Messages

The ghost of librarian Giles recites the words of Viktoria in reverse order while wandering the library in Mission 13: Casing the Joint on Thief II: The Metal Age. The audio clips used for his voice, which consists of several female voices, has at least one voice speaking backwards. When the audio clips are played in reverse, you can hear Viktoria from the second cutscene in Thief: The Dark Project. This is the scene in which Viktoria removes Garrett's eye.

There is no Giles's ghost in patch version 1.18 just in v1.07. Maybe it's a bug

[Stquinn]

@Stormblast2013 Are you saying that Gile's ghost existed in the original version of The Dark Project? I have Thief Gold v1.18, so I didn't have to download the patch.

[Stormblast2013]

@Stquinn No, just in Thief 2 the Metal Age version 1.07 i've seen the ghost and when i installed and played with patch 1.18 there was no ghost in the library.

The latest version of Thief 1 Gold is 1.37 but i was talking about T2 - the Metal Age.

[Stquinn]

@Stormblast2013 Oh, ok, I remember downloading & installing the patch for T2, but apparently, it didn't install correctly. However, I just found out that I have version 1.0a, which means that I should have installed T2's Premier patch first. Thief: The Circle website has a Premier patch that will upgrade v1.0a directly to v1.18. Replaying the missions will be like playing a new game again. Thanks a bundle. I owe you one.

:000 I finished this game, but I never saw this part :0 where is it at?

[Stquinn]

@AniqueTheRobot I was playing the original version of the game. Apparently, v1.0a and v1.07 include Giles, the library ghost, while v1.18 does not. Sorry about that.

Shalebridge Craddle is scariest but the library is mistic

[LgndryThndr]

the fuck are you talking about? I'm still scared.

[SergiuZ27]

@zoquibax And that's why, in Thief 1, you couldn't see the ghosts ?

[Stquinn]

@AniqueTheRobot: In the library, which is at the far right rear corner of the building. Stairways to the upper floor are on each side of the fireplace. You don't have to follow the ghost around to hear him, but you don't want him to see you either. I could be wrong, but I think you have to go to the library in order to successfully finish the mission.

Errmmm... must be the wood they use for the books. Lets write things down on hard-disks instead. :P

Garret is seeing dead people through his dead eye. Maybe that's why he also hears what his eye heard before it died.
