The Gervaisius guard is a powerful and dangerous guard armed with a Sword, encountered in two Thief II: The Metal Age missions both taking place inside the Gervaisius Estate. They are under the employment of Lord Gervaisius, hence the name.
Strategy[]
The Gervaisius Gauards have a much higher level of alertness and aggression compared to the Common Sword Guard, which give an extra challenge to ghosting missions, such as Casing the joint. This mission becomes increasingly difficult with the addition of Mechanist security devices like Watchers and Turrets, giving unwelcome thieves a hard time.
With a much higher health then the average guard and a slightly higher flee level, anyone wanting to try and take them on in combat should expect to draw attention while trying to take them down.
