GREENBAY A
short mission from 2008 by DrK. It has a nice,
tight street layout crammed full of detail, typical of his other missions. By
modern standards it is a bit bare boned, but offers an entertaining hour or
so of gameplay. A Better Tomorrow uses this map as a base, which was the real
reason for my playthrough. My
main task was to locate and silence a man about to testify against me, but
who he was and where was yet unknown. I also had to obtain a golden skull
found somewhere in the Greenbay quarter, in
addition to 2,500 worth of valuables. That was it. I
wanted to hit the mechanist library early, so I headed to the southeast
corner of the map. There was a pickable door to the
library’s western courtyard, but a nearby guard heard the lockpicks,
so this wasn’t a possible method for Supreme. I wanted to avoid as many lockpicks as possible anyway, and this one was most
definitely avoidable. Another door by the southeast gate was also pickable, but yet again a nearby guard was too close to
avoid the comment (left image below). This house had 4 coin stacks which thus
had to be skipped for Supreme. I could hop the fence to the library courtyard
from a wooden pole nearby without the aforementioned guard seeing me.
The
inside of the library wasn’t that tough. I had to go slow due to the marble,
but it was standard sneaking mostly. The tiara and necklace on top of the
large bookshelf I took by using a rope arrow into the ceiling. I could just
drop down to the floor unscathed and unnoticed. Got the yellow key from the
top floor civilian. It was needed for the golden skull objective.
Experimenting with how to return it, I found I could put it on top of the
nearby book (right image above). It was a few feet away from at his feet, but
I figured that was ok. Borderline, but acceptable. Navigating
the streets wasn’t that difficult due to the number of alternate routes. Some
areas had tight patrols, but it was just a matter of waiting. I could now
enter the nobleman’s house in the west and get the storeroom key. I could
not, however, take the shop key from the stationary guard in the northwest
for Supreme (left image below). Returning it was not possible without alerts.
The 135 loot from the armory was thus skipped for that mode.
Over
2,200 loot was in the Easter Egg location. Obviously this got me to the loot
goal. In Quince’s apartment I needed two more keys; the workshop key and the
toolbox key. Neither of these could be returned without waking him up (right
image above). This was the ultimate bust to Supreme, as there was no way to
finish the mission without them. The rest of the mission was easy. Returned
the three remaining keys and ended back at the start. Statistics: Time: 45:40 Loot: 5159 out of 5159 (Supreme: 4976) Pickpockets: 9 out of 9 Locks Picked: 9 Secrets: 1 out of 1 Damage Dealt: 0 Damage Taken: 0 Consumables: None Ghost: Success! Perfect Thief: Success! Supreme Thief: Failed! Perfect Supreme Thief: Failed! Notes: -
Skipped the coin stacks (48) in the house by the
southeast gate for Supreme. Picking the lock alerted the nearby guard. -
Skipped the gold worth 135 in the armory for Supreme.
The shop key couldn’t be returned without severe alerts. -
Couldn’t return Quince’s workshop key or toolbox key to
their proper locations. Supreme busts. |
