Exploration of the third part of the foundry | Chapter 2: Dust to Dust Thief Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The [Old Foundry - Furnace Hall] is the third, and final part of the foundry. This area is much more linear but, die to the enemy forces, which are plentiful here, is more difficult. Your destination now is a small office space, from which you will have to steal the ring.
Follow the linear path and collect the Ring - 6G that you find along your way. After a while, you will watch a cutscene featuring the Thief-Taker General, who will collect the ring that you are after, after he has inspected a corpse. Finish your walk and climb to the area above. Note the furnace that you can see in the distance, which is constantly operating, thanks to which, a part of the area is lit on a regular basis. This is worth remembering because you now need to attach even more care to remaining in shadows.
Just like usually, I recommend that you take a look around the area. In the main hall, you can find a note (Stripping Procedure) on the wall, a Pocket Portrait - 10G on the table with the corpse examined by the opponent), a Ring - 6G, Surgical Scissors - 12G and a Bracelet - 8G. In the side area, you will also find a Serendi Stone Circles - Diamond Circle and two Gears - 3x2G. Apart from that, you can rob the guard that is watching the area near the starting point, by stealing his Coin Purse - 7G.
Return to the main hall. Use Swoop to move around (sliding), to dash from table to table and avoid detection, at the moment at which the furnace opens. It is worth adding here that there is a Desk Bell - 12G right next to the furnace, although it is very difficult to obtain this item (you would have to try to divert the attention of the guards, by walking over glass and/or by throwing objects). After you explore the area, jump to reach the venting shaft, located to the left of the furnace, and walk along it, thanks to which you will exit in the general's office [Old Foundry - Supervisor's Office].
