DeceasedCrab plays Trilby: The Art of Theft - Part 2 of 8

"Oh, Dominic, you dark horse."

Heist 1

Protocorp Secure Records Facility

Dominic Perota, CEO of Protocorp, is not only amoral and very wealthy and successful, he's also got a records facility that's ripe for the picking.

The upper-left corner of the screen shows how many alarms (the red ! icon) and tazers (the yellow lightning bolt icon) you can take in the current mission. If you fail to meet these requirement, the mission's over. So watch it.

Don't forget to press the Tab button if you need to double-check your stats.

Open the filing cabinets to find stuff and increase your score. You'll find out that Protocorp has not only been in arms with bikini girls, but they're also in bed with the government...literally.

I'm loving this game already.

You can disable security cameras the same way you can cut the wires on the electrics control boxes. Cut the red wire on the only security camera in the level.

The highest rank you can get in a level is the Trilby Hat, which works like an S rank. You'll have to be pretty good and pretty fast to get this.

Workshop

Check the newspaper when you get back. Oh, how Protocorp has been exposed.

Heist 2

Chapow City Art Museum

Well, Dominic's got all his money accounted for. All of it. He even uses some of it to buy some fine art. The museum's displaying his collection, and they've recently beefed up the museum's budget - and security - to protect it all. The harder it is to get, the better it is.

This game is getting better. I'm not even being sarcastic.

The guards wear ID badges so that the lasers won't recognize them as intruders. Well, at least the game explains something that no other game does. Then again, I guess lasers were good enough to read bar codes on badges as far back as 1991. You can also shut down the lasers from the top floor security office.

The note in the upper-right room says the security code is 384.

Belive it or not, you can drop down from the electrics box room and stand on the chandelier below. Nice.

When you beat the level, you get tripped by a mysterious man who gets a picture of your true face. He and some mysterious others will know everything about you in 24 hours. If you don't come to a certain address within a week, the authorities will bust you. Oh, boy.

Workshop

Check the newspaper again. They know Trilby's at it again in America.

Also, Level 2 and Level 3 Locksmithing are the best skills to earn at this point, and the faster, the better. This way, you can replay the earlier levels to lockpick the doors you couldn't and get higher scores.
