1: Basic Elements I
The first level is fairly simple and easy to navigate. The main objective is to place the glass tables on the pressure plates so that the door opens and players can stealthily leave the room.
2: Basic Elements II
The second level of the Bio Of The Great Thief is also easy; however, players will now be introduced to alternating guard lights. They have to make sure not to step into the light, otherwise, this will increase their Alertness level and reduce any chance ofclaiming all the rewards.
3: First Trial
This is where things get a little tricky, as players will have to strategically plan their pathway and time themselves so that they do not accidentally step into the light. If players start with thefirst glass caselined up, they will have to first push thattoward the pressure plate closest to the door.
Once in front of the pressure plate,move backwardsand go the long way around to reach the other glass case - all whilst watching out for the alternating light. They also have the option- as shown in the gameplay video below- to push the second cupboard forward to speed up the process.
After the cases are on both pressure plates, players can maketheir way to the open door.
4: Thinking Training
There are four alternating lights on this level and only one glass case that needs to be pushed onto the pressure plate. At first, it might look easy to most players, but they will have to be careful and take it nice and easy when completing this challenge. Players will have to reach the case from thenorthern sidebecause if they push it from the starting position, the glass case will be stuck against the wall and will have no room to move.
There will be quite a few moves to this level coupled with a lot of patience, as players have to wait until each guard light moves away from them to move the case to the pressure plate. Timekeepers can follow the video below as a reference to make things easier. At the end of the day, it’s just a matter of waiting for the guard lights to turn away so that players can move.
5: Basic Elements III
The fifth level will introduce a new gimmick called the Spotlight, which will immediately increase players’Alertness to 100. The glass case will help block out the spotlight, so moving the1st glass casetowards the spotlight at the right will successfully block it out. Thesecond glass casecan then bepushed upwardstowards the pressure plate, and the door will open for players to escape.
6: Field Practice
This is where the levels start to slowly get a little harder for players to navigate. The sixth level has four spotlights and four glass cases. Players need to first push theglass case closest to them downwardsto the spotlight near the pressure plate. The glass case towards their right just needs one push to block out the two spotlights on the right of the floor plan.
Players can then head towards the glass case near the pressure plate and push it to unlock the door. On their way to the door, they can also push the last glass case to block out the last spotlight.

7: Advanced Exercise
Since this level is a little tricky, here’s a step-by-step guide and video to help players out in clearing this level:
8: Basic Elements IV
Players will be introduced to a new mechanism in this level, which is asmoke potion and a large fan. If players step onto the fan, this will automaticallytrigger a mistthat willobstructthe guard lights and spotlights view of the thief. However, the mist onlylasts 10 seconds,and players will have to be really quick at clearing any levels that include it.
As this is a teaching level, it’s fairly easy to pass, and players only have to first push the glass case onto the pressure plate to open the door. Once done, they can then step onto the fan, which will create a mist for players to use as coverage.
9: Mind Opener
Players will need to beextremely fast during this levelbecause the mist only lasts 10 seconds. Thus, players will have a 10-second interval to take the glass case from one side and push it all the way to the other side, where the pressure plates are located.
Each time the player steps on the fan, they need to remember that they have10 seconds from then to execute it. The gameplay video above will illustrate the stealth and speed needed to accomplish this round. If players accidentally push the glass case too far, they just need to keep calm and retrace their steps. Ten seconds is a long enough time to go back and forth between the pressure plates and the glass cases.
10: Escape Master
This level is the hardest of all and can be extremely difficult to beat. But players should not worry too much and break this pathway down into two forms. The first would be to block out the spotlights on the left side of the floor plan.
This is where things get tricky, and players will have to work extra fast to push two glass cases to the pressure points within 10 seconds.
