Journal Description |
"Masterwork of a mysterious and unnamed Engineer, this unites all automaton parts in the service of something extraordinary." |
This item is a collectible piece of unique loot available in Thief. It can be found in the third part of the mission "Dust to Dust" (the section after the hook ride). The item is in a safe in the top right of the map in the secret workshop of the Manufacturing Area.
To enter the room, go up the short stairs to the door and jump over the railing to the left. Then, go through the duct to enter the room.
To open the safe, read the numbers on the back of the 2 mechanical men, starting with the seated one first, and then the severed head second. The last number is located outside of the workshop, behind a shelf full of mugs.
Alternatively, the combination is 3-1-4, a reference to Pi.
Trivia[]
- Given the eerie, bluish-green glow of this item, as well as a suggestion by Vivian Northcrest to infuse automatons with the Primal, the "Soul" may have been developed using Primal energy.
- Thus, the "mysterious and unnamed Engineer" may be the "Mayhew" mentioned in the above document, who asked Lady Northcrest to elaborate on this idea.
