STEALTH TIPS ...
•Avoid toe-to-toe combat. Guards are tough.
Use stealth to defeat them.
•Hide in the shadows and avoid bright areas.
•Use the Light Gem to see how visible you
are. If it appears dark, you’re practically
invisible to nearby opponents. If it’s bright,
you’re partially or fully visible.
•Be silent! Your footsteps are quieter when
you move slowly and avoid loud surfaces like
metal. Avoid stumbling over boxes or barrels.
•Observe your opponent’s patterns before
you move. To avoid being caught, move when
your enemy’s back is turned.
•To assess stealthiness, listen closely to your
opponent. A suspicious person voices concern
and starts searching for you. Move carefully
away and find a good hiding spot. If you are
well-hidden, your opponent will give up the
search soon enough.
•Opponents oblivious to your presence can
be knocked out with a single hit. Sneak up
behind the enemy, then attack with the
blackjack, dagger or broadhead arrow.

THE STORY OF THIEF: DEADLY SHADOWS
In Thief: Deadly Shadows, you play Garrett, a master thief in a dark, sprawling
metropolis known only as the City. Rarely seen and never caught. Garrett wo r ks
alone in the shadow of night, constantly trolling for info r mation and eyeing his
next p rize. He can sneak past any guard, pick any lock with ease, and infi l t rate the
most ingeniously secured re s i d e n c e s .
Cynical and unenthusiastic about helping those in need, Garrett draws on his tal-
ents to lift from the wealthy solely for his own gain. To him, everyone is a
potential victim who can help line his pockets and fuel the underground
economy of the City. He’s a legend among his own kind, a reluctant anti-hero
who wants n o thing more than to be left alone to carry out his trade. But instead,
his actions seem to always draw him into greater confl i c t s .
The Keepers pull the strings behind the City, and lately, they’ve been paying
close attention to Garrett. Too close, in his opinion. This secret organization
drew Garrett into its fold early on, but he rejected their teachings at a young age
and scorned them for their reclusive meddling. He went on to become a skilled
thief — the best that ever was, in fact.
The Keepers have long recognized Garrett as the central figure in their glyph
book of prophecies, which warn of an awakening evil and an impending Dark
Age.They have come to Garrett in hopes that his steady nerves and legendary
talent can save the City from a dark, uncertain future. What the Keepers did not
foresee in this reluctant alliance is that Garrett has come dangerously close to
untangling the City’s darkest secrets.

Press Ato:
•Open or close unlocked doors. Stand back to allow the door to open. If
something blocks it, nudge it out of the way.
•Pick locked doors. To learn how, see Picking Locks, p. 13. Not all
doors can be picked — a few require you to press a nearby button or
lever.
•Pick up/drop bodies. Leaving dead or unconscious bodies in plain view
draws attention. Pick up bodies and hide them in shadows or alcoves.
•Pick up loot. If you see a vase, goblet, purse or other item highlighted in
blue when you face it, pick it up. The item’s name and value appear
briefly onscreen. The Gear screen (p. 19) shows what you’ve collected so
far in the current game. (Note that you can’t drop loot, only junk items.)

To drop the
selected item at your feet,
gently pull l.
T3_manual_xbox_final_v3.qxd 4/26/04 9:23 PM Page 10

Picking Locks
Locks vary in craftsmanship and materials, so
some will be more difficult to pick than others.
To learn how to pick different types, purchase practice locks from fences. They’ll
help you learn the finer points of lockpicking. Any practice locks you buy appear
in your apartment in the City.
L o c k p i cking mode activates whenever you use a chest or door
that can be picked. Each lock has from three to six tumblers.
To pick it, you must find the weak spot on each tumbler.
To pick a lock:
1. Use a locked door or chest.
2. Move Lto rotate the lock p i c ks until yo u
find a spot that makes the tumbler shake .
(The controller will vibra t e . )
3. Hold Lsteady and wait to see if the shaking tumbler starts to
spin. If it does, a gap opens in the tumbler and spins to the far
right edge of the circle.
•If the gap doesn’t appear, gently move Lto maneuver the
picks around the shaky region of the tumbler. Your controller
will vibrate harder once you reach the sweet spot.
4. Repeat for all tumblers. When all of them have been picked,
the lock will open.
5. Use the newly picked door or chest to open it.

12
Fighting and Dying
You have several different ways that you can deal with your opponents. If an
opponent hasn’t spotted you yet, try one of the three one-hit methods listed
below. Note that if your opponent suspects your presence or is pursuing you,
your cover is blown and you can’t kill with a single shot.
Blackjacking
If your victim hasn’t seen you, equip your black-
j a c k and silently sneak up from behind. Center
the opponent’s back in view. Pull rto knock
that person out with a single blow. Your enemy
will remain unconscious for the rest of the
m i s s i o n .
Backstabbing
This works exactly like blackjacking, except that you use your dagger.
Backstabbing kills your opponent with a single blow, leaving behind a pool of
blood. Also, your victim’s screams can draw attention.
Sniping
To strike from afar and kill with one blow, fire
arrows at your opponent’s head or chest. This
only works with offensive arrows, not noise-
makers and water arrows.
Escaping
Even if you’re forced into a corner, you should avoid fighting if you can. You
have several items and weapons that can help you escape. Try using the flash
bomb to blind and deafen enemies,or create an oil slick behind you by throwing
an oil flask. (You can set it on fire with a Fire arrow.) If you have wall-climb-
ing gloves, try scaling a climbable surface.
If you haveto fight, you can use your hand weapons, or lay down
explosive mines. Gas arrows and bombs can also be a reliable way to
knock multiple opponents unconscious.
If someone kills you, the Load Game screen appears.
Move Rto check for
approaching guards or enemies
while you are cracking a lock.
Controller
vibration is on by
default (p. 26). The
harder the controller
vibrates, the closer
you are to the
“sweet spot.”
Once you find the swe e t spot, pull
lor rto qu i ckly spin the tumbler to the
u n l o cked position.
Tumblers
Align tumblers
(rings) by rotating
the lockpicks. Gap
Unlocked tumblers
have gaps on
the right edge.
Look for elemental crystals in fireplaces, pipes, trees and
other obscure spots.

T3_manual_xbox_final_v3.qxd 4/26/04 9:23 PM Page 14

Stores
To buy items from thieving stores:
1. Enter the store and listen to the shopkeeper.
2. Select an item to buy.
•For sliders, press Ato select the slider.
Then, move L,Ror Dto change
quantities. Press A(or B) to choose
that number.
3. Select Buy, then select Yes to confirm.
4. Select Back to exit the store.
Being Stealthy
In order to be a successful thief, you can’t be caught by those who would rather
turn you in or see you dead. When maintaining stealth, rely on your light gem.
The brighter it is, the more easily others can see you.
What will get you caught if you aren’t careful:
•Moving through brightly lit areas.
•Moving in partial shadows after an enemy or civilian is aware of your pres-
ence.
•Running or walking over noisy surfaces, such as metal floors or tile.
•Bumping into items that move and make noise near an enemy or civilian.
•Leaving dead bodies in plain view.
•Using your dagger or arrows to kill victims. (Victims scream, and killing
them with these weapons creates a pool of blood.)
What helps you remain hidden:
•Waiting to move until your opponent isn’t looking.
•Sticking to the shadows and creeping slowly over loud surfaces.
•Extinguishing torches and fires to create additional shadows you
can use for cover.
•Crouching while hiding or moving.
•Flattening your body against a wall.
•Knocking out guards or civilians before they see you.
•Distracting guards (by throwing junk items or using a tool).
•Firing moss arrows (for stealth) or noisemaker arrows
(for distraction).

Finding and Selling Loot
Anytime you step close to an item that is
highlighted, you can use or pick up that
item. During a mission, pick up anything of
value — later, you can sell these items to fences for cash.
Keep your eyes open for exceptionally valuable or useful items. They sport a
reddish sheen and twinkle, and you should always pick them up!
Each mission has three pieces of special loot that sell for quite a bit more.
Trading on the Black Market
In pockets of the City, you can sell loot for cash and replenish supplies. Look for
red handprints —the universal mark of thieving establishments.
Fences
A fence takes valuable loot off your hands, plus
gives you cash for whatever you’ve stolen.
However, each fence will only buy two of the
three main types of loot — gems, artwork and
metal. For instance, one fence may refuse art,
while another steers clear of gems. You’ll have to
visit multiple fences in the City to figure out who
buys what.
To sell items to fences:
1. Enter the Fence’s room and listen
to him or her.
2. Select Sell All, or select a specific item.
3. Select Yes to confirm the sale.
4. Select Back to exit the store.
To see what you’ve picked
up so far, pause the game, select
Gear, then Loot.

even hinting at thieving
jobs available in the city.

objectives.
Goals Screen
Completed objectives are brown and marked with a checkmark, while
outstanding objectives are gray. Failed objectives appear in red text.
As you discover new information or use certain items, your objectives can
change. When this occurs, a message like “New Objective” pops up onscreen.
•Highlight the scroll arrows on the right and move L
or press D73 to browse through your objectives.
•To finish a mission, complete all objectives and find the exit point.
Winning Missions
After you successfully complete all mission objectives and exit the area, you can
view the Debriefing and Mission Stat Screens. They give you a quick debriefing
and provide feedback on how well you performed during the mission.
Select Continue to start the next mission.
Debriefing Screen
The Debriefing screen appears when
you finish each mission. It advances
the plot and provides additional infor-
mation based on what you discovered
while completing the mission.
Mission Stat Screen
This screen describes how well you performed in the mission. It displays your
difficulty level, time required to complete the mission and how much loot
you acquired. For encounters, it shows how often you were detected, as
well as the knockout and kill
count for the mission.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE:
WEAPONS, ITEMS AND UPGRADES
As a master thief, you’ll often find yourself in situations that require cunning
and advanced weapons and tools. You don’t have all of them at the start, but
you can find items or buy them with cash you earn.

Loot Subscreen
You can view how much wealth and loot yo u’ v e accumulated up to this point of
the game. Most no rmal loot is ge n e ric stuff you can sell for cash on the black
m a r ket to fences (traders and info rmants) in the City. Each mission also has thre e
pieces of specially named loot that are wo r th more cash.
Items Subscreen
Selecting Item from the Gear Screen displays a
list that is very similar to the Loot screen in
appearance. However, it doesn’t display values
and quantities, and it only shows items that are
critical to the mission. For instance, if you pick
up a crested medallion or special key, it appears
in the Item list.
Map Subscreen
This screen shows a sketched map
of the area. You get a map for each
mission, and you can buy addi-
tional maps from some of the
thievery stores in the City. (For
instance, you can buy the
Museum map from the shop
in the Old Quarter.) Other
maps are found on people or
during the mission.

Faction
As you progress and complete certain tasks and missions in the game, you alter
how various social groups perceive you. To see your current status, you can view
the Faction Screen, which shows your current alliance status with the two main
societies — Pagans and Hammers. By doing favors for or attacking members of
a group, you affect how each group reacts to you.
Hammers. Armed with warhammers, this zealous group worships the Builder,
the accepted creator of all civilization. The Hammers founded the City through
discipline and craftmanship, but its priests now aggressively inflict forceful obedi-
ence. Hammers will do anything to tilt the balance of power, including calling on
master thieves for favors.
Pagans. The pri m i t i ve Pagans seek to pro m ote nature and chaos at the expense of
d e s t roying pro g ress. The Shamans, wa rriors, and beast-like members of the Pa g a n
cult pray to the Tri cks t e r, an ancient god of nature and chaos. Like the Hammers,
Pagans also seek to enlist underground help to further their own ideals.
Faction Screen
To view your current status, pause the game (g) and select Faction if it’s
available. (You won’t see this until after a few missions.)
• Hostile. Group attacks you on sight.
• Ne u t ral. G r oup wo n ’t atta ck you on
sight, but will if you enter its terri to ry.
• Allied. Group wo n’t atta ck you on
sight, or when you enter its terri to ry.

THE WORLD OF THIEF: DEADLY SHADOWS
Your chosen profession requires you to be nocturnal. So, you sleep by day and
prowl by night, always with open eyes and ears. You perform your thievery in
the City proper, and in missions that send you into buildings and underground
City environments.
Missions
Missions are focused excursions that
send you into a specific area to complete a certain
task. When the game starts, you begin a training mission in an Inn. Once you
finish the training mission, you’re launched into a second mission to steal a
valuable gemstone. After that mission, you’ll find yourself in your apartment in
the City for the first time.
In missions, everyone is hostile, and the best policy is to hide as much as possi-
ble. Civilians run to find guards, and guards attack you on sight. In later mis-
sions, undead and beastly enemies also attack you on sight.
The City
The City is the “hub” for most of the game, and home to the apartment Garrett
uses to sleep away days between missions. The City is full of opportunity and
victims, and you’re free to seek out victims to mug, pocket items carelessly left
out in the open, and eavesdrop to keep a pulse on the City.
You’re distrusted by the City Watch, who won’t hesitate to attack you if they
spot you. For the most part, the urban peasants and traders will leave you alone
unless you strike them or try to steal their merchandise.
Your only City allies are fences and black- m a r k et
s to res. (See Trading on the Black Market,
p. 16.)
L a t e r, you may perfo rm favors for Fe n c e s ,
Pagans, Hammers and even Keepers. These
l u c ra t i veta s k s are dange rous, though
rewa rding, and affect how yo u’re perc e i ve d
by others.
It pays to listen to the town talk — civilians and
a ri s to c rats alike often hint at new missions or loot .
Mission Icon
To enter a mission, look for a
floating glyph outside of a building or
door. Use it to start that mission.
“Him reachers downing to
them abysses
And pulls Him out them
worming ones”
