Thief Side Mission: Writing Wrongs

In order to enter the shop, you have to squeeze through a few crates. Once inside, there's a lot of stuff to grab. Don't miss the cash register as you loot. Just hop over the counter to get it. Afterwards, examine the books on the shelf. Find the hidden switch, and a trap door opens. Hop back over the counter, and head down.

On the table in the back is a manuscript. This is the item that you need. Grab it, and everything else you see, and leave once you see the mission complete prompt.To leave, just go back upstairs, and squeeze past the crates.

Thief Side Mission: Slick Willy

When you enter Willy's townhouse, you're on the upper level. There's not much to loot here, but there is more downstairs. Before heading down, examine the picture of the naked woman on the wall. Find the hidden switches, and a secrete panel opens. A dead Willy falls from the ceiling, and has an item to grab on him.

Head downstairs, and loot everything. Climb up the ladder inside the secret area, and head up. Open the chest, and grab the watch (as well as the coins). When you see the mission complete prompt, you're done.

Thief Side Mission: Taking A Fence

For this mission, you will need four arrows. Two rope, and one blunt. As always, follow the cursor until it points to a window that you can't climb to. Use focus to reveal a beam that you can shoot a rope arrow at. It may be out of range, so don't shoot yet. Instead, walk down the street to another beam. You will know you're headed the right way if there are two windows on your right, neither of which you can reach yet.

Shoot a rope arrow up to the second beam, and climb up. Open the first window, and enter the apartment. There's loot galore in there, so grab everything that you can. And no, the deer head doesn't come off the wall. Exit through the second window, and look up for a pulley. Shoot it with a blunt arrow, then shoot the beam with the second rope arrow.

Climb up the rope, and jump off at the next level. Walk to the end of the ledge, and jump across the gap to the window that you want to enter. Use focus again, and you will see a push switch on the far wall. Shoot it with your second blunt arrow, and the bars to the window open. You can now loot away. After you have everything, you get the mission complete prompt.

What Is Peggle 2?

If you've ever played pachinko, or saw plinko on The Price Is Right, you have a rough idea what this game is like. The idea is to bounce around x number of balls, to hit the orange pegs. Once hit, the peg will disappear. There are also a lot of blue pegs, which serve mainly to get in your way, green pegs that give you an extended pointer when you aim, and +purple pegs that give you extra points.

The game has been around since 2007. I won't go into it's history, since that's what Wikipedia is for. This blog is actually an accident. I forgot to turn off my EZ Cap when I finished working on my guide to Thief the other day, and just happened to turn Peggle 2 on to relax for awhile. Since I ended up recording some game play, I figured, why not put the clip up, for those that are curious about the game.

The clip that I posted was played on the Xbox One. The game is also available on other formats, including the Xbox 360. The previous version, Peggle, is available on PlayStation 3, as well as the Xbox 360.

Thief chapter 5: Meet Basso At The Siren's Rest

This is pretty straight forward. Just follow the cursor through the town, until you reach the docks (the area where you have to keep taking out the guard that shoots you if you enter the lit window). Instead of hopping over the railing, this time sneak across the dock, and enter the building.

Inside, you get a cut scene that fills you in on the next part of the story. Afterwards, you can either:

a) start the next objective - Get to the Boat

b) get a new job from Basso

Since Basso has so many to offer, I personally decided to accept all of them (instead of going back and forth when I finish one), and did them in no particular order. Actually, I wanted to do them in the order they were listed by Basso, but when you take them all at once, they don't appear in your objectives in the same order.

Quite a few of them just involved grabbing items that you missed (or didn't come across) in the game play. I recognized at least one of them from earlier in the game, before I had the razor. I am not going to include these in this guide, because all you have to do is follow the cursor, and collect the item.

I will, however, include the jobs that have a puzzle, or just a badly designed entrance to the area. Areas that you have to squeeze through crates, for instance. Please remember that I am playing these for the first time. I don't play the game, write notes, and then re-play for this guide. As such, there will be some areas where I pause to think things out. I do attempt to edit them out, however. No reason for a five hour video for a mission that only takes 10 minutes.
