The Top 10 Most Challenging Achievements: Xbox One

02. Thief: Finders Keepers (40G) Discover all secret areas

Whenever an attempt is made to reboot a series - especially when it is a reboot for a series that was not only well-established in its day btu that still has a serious and dedicated following - the pushback that will be generated is a given. The risk is that the detractors who have decided that the game failed to live up to their expectations will make so much nose that it impacts the general reception for the game.

Sadly that is what happened with Thief. The negative reception by fans of the previous games was enough to leave an impression that the game was less than worthwhile. Which is too bad, because when it is judged on its own merits it is not a bad game at all. In fact it is a rather fun romp!

When the wizards who created it set out to create its Achievements and Trophies they did so with a pretty serious measure of thought and consideration. In the process they created some pretty challenging and fun Achievement, among which is Finders Keepers.

Bear in mind that this one is not just about discovering all 73 of the secret areas - it is about discovering all 73 of the secret areas AND the special treasures in some of them!

Locating the lot without help is going to require some major effort on the part of the player - so don't feel bad if you end up consulting the video embedded above - because who really has the time to find all of these on their own?!

What we recommend for this challenging Achievement is you run through the game to see how many you can find on your own the first play-through, then use the video on your second.
