Follow Erin | Prologue: The Drop Thief Guide

Jump from rooftop to rooftop

It is a good moment for you to test running, especially that there is no loot on the rooftops around and, as a result, you do not need to explore them. Jump to the successive rooftops and climb over the small obstacles. Finally, slide down the roof fragment to the very bottom, where you will start the action of a more careful exploration of the alleys [Auldale - Back Alley] an learn about how the Light Gem, which you can see on the screen. It will always let you know about whether you are visible or hidden.

After you reach the main street, go ahead

Remember that from now on, you need to avoid being spotted so, it is a good idea to sneak and move slowly here. Along your path, collect the Scissors - 3G and the Coin Purse - 7G, also, test the mechanics of leaning from behind corners. Wait for the guards to walk away and follow them, which will take you to one of the main streets of the city [Auldale - Main Street]. Do not attempt to approach the people on the left and on the right, because you would be spotted and you would fail this mission. Instead, go straight ahead and turn left. Locate the two Cups - 2x2G and a Coin Purse - 7G; then use the ladder.

A mechanism that you need to hit with blackjack

First, reach the place where there is Erin [Auldale Bridge - Thieves' Highway]. Crouch to get under the pipe and, after you jump down to a roof below, listen to a short conversation with the friendly thief. Walk over the beam to the right and use the Blackjack to hit the marked mechanism and lower the ladder. Resume along your path to reach a new window to an apartment [Auldale - Voyeur's Apartment].

The apartment consists of two rooms and it is worthwhile to explore it thoroughly. In the first room, there are Scissors - 3G and a Bracelet - 8G. In the way that you have already learned, use the lockpicks on the locked door. In the second room, the most important thing that you can find is the Voyeur's Diary shown in the above screenshot, which is the first document that you obtain in the game. Apart from that, you can find here a Telescope - 45G, an Ink Bottle - 3G, a Coin Purse - 11G, a Ring - 6G and a Cup - 2G).

Before you take the stairs, search through the entire room

Aftr you have cleared the apartment, go through te opened window [Auldale Bridge - Thieves' Highway]. Walk over the nerrow beam and go towards the closed window, which you will have to force open. Jump into the apartment which is the drop zone [Auldale - Drop Location] and start by finding a Cup - 2G. Locate a button, up on one of the walls, now and press it. Wait for the wall to move and collect a Ring - 14G and a Necklace - 50G from the stash. You can now take the stairs to the upper floor, which will result in playing a cutscene featuring Erin and moving into a different location.
