Killing Time is the seventh mission in Thief: Deadly Shadows. Garrett breaks into the Stonemarket Clocktower to sabotage the clockworks of the tower in order to cease the progress of time.
Overview[]
'When the progress of the time ceases, the evil one will be pointed out for all to see.' First Keeper Orland advises that they "wait and watch", but Garrett decides to "break into the clocktower in Stonemarket, find some way to stop the clock from running", as a means of forcing the prophecy to be fulfilled. The clocktower is a very old and high building, run by Hammerites. The entrance on the ground floor is locked, so Garrett breaks in via the pipes outside the building.

Debriefing[]
- See Debrief for Killing Time.
Secrets[]
- The crawl-space in the room above the "long way down" section containing a Gold Bracelet.
- A hole under the elevator between the first and second floors opens directly onto the coal dispenser (outside the foreman's office). In order to use the Stopping Mechanism, however, Garrett first needs to "Reach the basement of the Clocktower" which means heading toward the ground floor until he passes the point designated as the basement.
Easter Eggs[]
Trivia[]
- Map Inconsistency: The Clocktower face is facing south in Stonemarket but inside the Clocktower it is facing west.
- The altar room on the second floor has two niches. The one on the right (containing a Fire Crystal) is missing part of its ceiling.
- In a chest on the ground floor is an Oil Flask positioned so that it is impossible to reach. The only way to collect it is to knock it out of place.
- There is a huge loose lump of coal atop the dispenser.
- A bottle on the foreman's desk is notable for its polished steel surface and unusual sound properties; wood-like on wooden surfaces and almost ceramic on metal.
- The basement section of the main gear shaft rotates in a direction opposite to that seen on all of the segments above it.
