The Keeper Library

Walkthrough

The Keeper Compound/Library can first be accessed on Day 3 after retrieving the Jacknall's Paw from the Pagan Sanctuary and the Builder's Chalice from St Edgar's Church for Keeper Artemus. Meet Artemus in Terces Courtyard and he will lead you to the Keeper Compound.

There a few things to accomplish while in the Library as per the Objectives and you can sneak into the Forbidden Library to get some more information and loot before leaving (although this is not necessary). As Keeper Orland will tell you, you are going to get blamed for anything that goes wrong anyway, so you might as well fill your pockets. Everything can be achieved by sneaking but you will be attacked if discovered somewhere you shouldn't be.

Once you are done, use your newly acquired ability to open the Glyph Door and leave.

Note: Depending on where you are in the story line keepers may be hostile to you. If this is the case you will be attacked on sight anywhere in the Keeper Library and you will therefore need to exercise sneakiness however you will be able to use your black jack with impunity. At other times the keepers will be friendly/ambivalent to your presence and you can move around freely within the Library until you enter a forbidden area. Here you will need to exercise sneakiness and will NOT be able to use your black jack either.

Secrets

• In the acolyte chambers there is a button on the ground that reveals the secret entrance to the forbidden library. The glyph upgrade is necessary in order to use this entrance.
• A button in Caduca's bookshelf opens the door to a secret room containing a book about the last glyph and some loot.

Trivia

• The books contained in the forbidden library contain canonical information on diverse matters.
• Also in the forbidden library there is a biography of Garrett that summarizes the events that occurred in Thief 1 and 2.
• Map Inconsistency: The Keeper Library entrance is aligned with the Stonemarket gateway, but Orland's balcony is located on the west side of the library, contrary to in-game and cutscenes.
• All of the giant statues are holding books that Garrett can pick up.
• A candle on Orland's desk and another in the secret room are impossible to pinch out.
• When Garrett takes out a weapon or draws an arrow, the item will appear briefly floating in the centre of the main rotunda.
