GENERAL STRATEGYStealthThe best way to avoid combat is to use stealth, period. If your enemies never hear you coming, they won't know to turn around and look for you. This is especially true if your enemy currently has his back turned. Sound carries, and walking on a tile or metal surface makes considerable noise. Your moss arrows will come in very handy for helping you stay quiet on otherwise noisy surfaces.Surprise The natural accompaniment to stealth is surprise.

Using them to douse torches allows you to set up ambushes in areas that would otherwise be bright, making you easy to spot. Thieving Strategies Skillful theft, and not combat, is the main goal of Thief. In many of your missions, you'll be required not only to achieve a major goal but also to steal other items of worth. Even when you've met your goals in terms of your objectives of stealing, grabbing additional loot is always worthwhile.
