So you found an empty room....

[Mr JC Denton in Da Fresh]

Word of advice, especially to those who are the exploring type but don't know where to look. Sometimes, you might end up in an lootless, insignificant looking room. When you do, look around. If you have Focus, should be easy. If you don't, try looking around a little harder.

I was f*****g around on one of Basso's missions when I accidentally discovered a secret area, just like that. Anyway, the thing is, if a vent leads you to an empty room, you can bet your ass there's something to look for there.

Focus is for the weak.

Real thieves do that with their bare hands and their naked eyes.

Yep. Although I admit I was really lucky when I found that hidden area.

[sounds odd]

Would this be a secret area triggered by four buttons hidden in the rafters? If so do you find anything interesting in the next room? I searched for ages but couldn't find any more buttons or switches.

Well, to be honest, it's hard when you start. You have to understand the dev's logic. But I really, and I mean it, appreciate the fact that you can turn focus off if you don't like being helped.
I'm a huge sucker for Dishonored and Mark of the Ninja because those games gave me the choice to do how I wanted, with the tools I desired, and I really like how I can configure the difficulty in Thief.
It's just a bit annoying that there are still mandatory rooms to visit in the game.

Yeah that sounds like it, I was wondering why the hell would a vent send me into a winery area with absolutely no loot. Since I don't have Focus on, I was looking and looking here and there. Then, I thought I saw a button like thing on one of the rafters. So, I just took out my blunt arrows and shot them at all four corners.....voila.

However, I couldn't find anything else in that chamber area if you're asking bout that. I just rabbed what I could find and went on my way.

I do have a question about exploring. Out in the city, during chapter one but before meeting Basso I found a picture frame that I could feel around but no trigger circles appeared to let me know if I found the switch. Did this happen to anyone else here?

You have to tur focus on or do it without

[Wutkeks]

Look under the table and you will see something interesting ;P

Ok, thanks for advice. Now can you tell me where I found that room. Can't seem to find it again. Thought it was near sick willy's.

[Darth Cannabis]

This must be a different one then the one I found. When I shot the 4 corners it opened floor and led into a tomb. Had several small grabs and a unigqu loot.

[Jocosity]

I wonder if the guy who owned that house actually knew that his wine cellar (or did he even know about the cellar?) had a tomb with a decent amount of gold in it? That seems like a really weird place for that to be. Also, was it just me or did he change his clothes in the time it took you to go down and come back up? He was wearing normal clothes when I went through the door to the basement, and then when I came back up he had a hood and facepaint or something.

Very suspicious. I blame the Trickster.
