Side info : This mission is dedicated to Aemanyl
=====================================================================================================
STORYLINE:
Garrett discovers that Lord Bafford has a holiday house in a foreign city called Bruggelas. Hoping
to find something valuable there, he travels to Bruggelas and breaks into Lord Bafford's residence.
As he is about to lay his hands on the infamous fat nobleman's wealth, something unexpected happens...
READ BEFORE PLAYING:
- This is a city type mission, which is heavy on exploration. You need to find 42% loot on Normal,
58% on Hard, and 71% on Expert. Regular Thief players shouldn't have any problems meeting the loot
requirement on Expert. If you are a novice or someone who is not so keen on exploration, however,
please consider playing on lower difficulties.
- Hard and Expert difficulty levels contain one additional objective. There are also two optional,
non-mandatory objectives on every difficulty level.
- The mission also emphasises verticality, so always remember to look up and investigate balconies,
wooden beams, rooftops, etc. Try not to waste your rope arrows unnecessarily.
- Diaries with most essential information about storyline and objectives can be picked up and they
remain in Garrett's inventory. If you happen to get stuck, try reading them again. Non-pickable
readables may also contain additional hints and clues, so make sure you read everything you find.
- Please note that at least one readable may contain mature themes.
- As Garrett starts the mission with no equipment, it would be recommended for you to focus on
retrieving your belongings first, before you explore the rest of the city.
- Use lean forward button to approach items that are hard to frob. You may also want to look closely
behind furniture.
- Do not save during conversations.
