Whatever you don't use in this mission, will be transferred into your starting inventory in the next mission. So, don't waste your equipment in this mission here.

My recommendation for the not so very much experienced gamer: Purchase all of the water arrows, the healing potions, one invisibility potion (you may need it), and spend the rest in some flashbombs.

About the keys

Key type Function
grey key
A grey key
The grey key (found in the closed area of the graveyard) does not quite seem to have a use. The attempts to unlock several locked doors with it failed - seems that this key is similar to the single blue key in Sword in Thief I.

Theoretically, it looks like the key to the gate to Shalebridge in Ambush, but this key doesn't open this gate.
white key
A white key
The white key opens the wooden door to the section S of the Shalebridge gate, as it did in Ambush. Considering the fact that neither Mosley nor the Pagan even approach this gate while you are chasing them, and considering the fact that there are many other ways into this section, I would dare to call this key as good as useless.



(*) the letter can only be found here in Expert difficulty. In Hard, it is typically in the S of the map. In Normal, Mosley will drop the letter already on the Marketplace.
