How to unlock the Modesty Denied achievement in Thief - Definitive Guide

I found the best way to obtain the achievement is to Follow Power pyx's guide. He shows you that you can take out all the guards and get caught and still get over 5.4 million without even collecting all the collectables :)

Confirmed to work!!

Basically Kill all guards first.
Pick up very little loot while doing so. Enough to keep your chain going.
Then go LOOT! like crazy.
Then exit through green door.

If you hit start u can see your map to try to keep track of where you have been.

+1 To this solution.

Not nearly as hard as its T/A ratio (5.45 at this writing) would suggest. I got it using this method before looking at this solution and without watching the video. Just play Chain & Gain on House of Blossoms, don't worry about being stealthy, just knock out the guards (but try to pick their pockets first) and keep your chain going. I had chain of 151, nearly always 10x, sometimes 9x and once or twice at 8x. Got it on my second try. Would have gotten it on my first try except I didn't know the exit was the exit smile

House of Blossoms is going to be the easiest map to get this. I have included a video for getting 8 million points on this map, without being spotted, taking no damage, reaching the exit, and finding 174/176 loot. - credit for this video belongs to HolyWarr27
-People have commented that they too have hit around 8 million by following this video!

Points/Chain-
The majority of your points come from picking up loot in 1 long chain. From the time you pick up one item you have 60 sec to get another, some guards have items to grab too that count. If you grab an item in under 10 seconds from the previous one you get a bonus, based on the multiplier, so try to go fast.

The normal loot item locations do not change so be sure to remember where you find them for future playthroughs.

When picking a lock use focus to slow time down. When you you enter a room try to grab all items out in the open first before trying to pick a lock or open a frame - these two things will more than likely burn up more than 10 seconds causing you to lose out on the quick pick bonus.

Guards - each guard has a patrol pattern, learn them! Some stay to a specific room, others wander the halls. Avoid being spotted - an open confrontation takes more time to deal with and also can cause more points to be lost. Be sure to distract guards if you want to avoid them or knockout/kill them while the are by themselves.

On the Manor, all guards knocked out is - 330,000 points. House of Blossom all guards is 390,000 points.
When you knock out the guards, (Holding down RB will make the player hold on to and automatically loot the body, hit B to drop)

Lights - Try to avoid taking out lights unless it is just to distract a guard. This takes up more time than it saves in my opinion. Use swoop to traverse areas that are lit up. Alternatively distract guards patrolling the bright hallways by shooting arrows or tossing breakables behind them instead.

For the House of Blossom map you have a lot more room for error. Essentially after taking out all the guards you will only need to find about 150 loot, in 1 chain, and make it to the exit. If you cannot find 150 check out my video for locations on most of the 176 loot on the map.

Here is my own version of the "Modesty Denied" Achievement. I chose to knock out all the guards without being detected to ensure victory!

If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to drop me a line in a PM or the comments section.

Thanks so much for watching!

As the description of the video says I would suggest knocking out all the guards on this map first before you attempt to get any loot. The map is House of Blossoms and the challenge is Chain and Gain. Please note that you must take one piece of loot roughly every minute and forty-five seconds in order to continue the challenge while knocking out the guards. How I did it was once the guards were dispatched I cleared the bottom floor and worked my way up. I ended with about 274,000,000 points before I exited, but the gent in the video had only 245,000,000. So long as you keep the combo multiplier up and use focus to help clear rooms and break safes easier, you should be fine.

Challenge maps can be accessed through the main game menu, under "Challenge Mode". There are 2 maps available to you as well as 3 modes. We recommend you select "House of Blossoms" and then "Chain & Gain". The objective of this mode is simply to keep collecting loot. As you pick up more your multiplier increases to x10, you have 60 seconds after each pick up to loot something else before the challenge will automatically end.

There are enemies throughout the area and although knocking them out loses you an amount of points (which increases with each subsequent knock out) It is a good idea to just speed through the area dealing with the guards while looting enough to not fail. Then you can just sweep the entire area with ease quickly chaining all the loot. While in the challenge you don't need to get 5 million, as the score will multiply on reaching the end door (the glowing green exit on the back stairs). So just as long as the in game score reaches somewhere near 2.4 million you should get well over 5 on completion.

For those who prefer visual aid, please refer to the video below courtesy of PowerPyx:

To obtain this achievement it is recommended to play a game of regular chain gain on the House of Blossoms map. Chain gain challenges you to loot as many items as possible in quick succession. After you pick up your first piece of loot you will notice a 60 second timer start to count down in the top left corner. Above that will be your current chain number and to the left is your multiplier. The aim of the game is is to loot each consecutive item before the timer runs down, each item you loot will reset the timer, if the timer runs out you current chain number will reset to zero and you will be awarded a chain bonus based on how high your chain was. Allowing the timer to expire will also add a new 45 second countdown, when this expires your round is over. The multiplyer will increase with each successive item looted up to a maximum of x10 and will also degrade the longer you go without finding another piece of loot.

The House of Blossoms map contains 175 items of loot and you will have to achieve a chain of at least 130 to be sure of obtaining more than 5,000,000 points. As you progress it will not look like your score is going to be anywhere near high enough for the achievement but don't worry the chain bonus is being calculated in the background and if you hit a high enough chain it will be quite large. For example my displayed score during my run was 2.5m, when my chain ended at around 140 my bonus put the score above 6m. Below are some hints to help you in your runs:

  • The guards coin purses are counted in the number of loot items so be sure to pickpocket every guard you are able too. Each guard will normally have 2 or 3 pouches. If you are going to takedown a guard be sure to pickpocket them first.
  • Don't be afraid to take down a few guards if you are having trouble getting to some loot. You are penalized for each takedown but the amount is small compared to how high your final score will be. Taking down 5 guards will lose you 75,000 points.
  • You will obtain a quick chain bonus if you loot your next item within 10 seconds, if you see an area with multiple pieces of loot and a guard patrolling nearby try to let him get as far away as you can so you can loot everything in quick succession.
  • Keep your eye on your minimap, there are a few areas that may not be evident at first but will show on the map. Like the room directly behind you as you start or the door at the far end of the room with the 2 stone staircases that leads to a nice loot room.
  • If you are moving from one area to another that has guards patrolling try to leave one or two pieces of loot close to you so you can assess the situation and if you are waiting too long you have a way to reset your timer without taking the risk of rushing into a room and being spotted. Even if the coast is clear this is useful because you are giving yourself a full 60 second count to get orientated in the next area.

Play safe and take it as easy as you can. Your biggest advantage is that the loot locations are set and the guards routes stay the same. Practice clearing each new room until you have it down then combine everything into one run. Once you have posted a score above 5,000,000 the achievement
will unlock.

Instead of watching a video.

Achievement couldn't be easier.

Paradoxically, there is no need to play stealth. Too heinous.

It’s easier to first rob the guard and then knock him out. Don't be afraid to discover yourself. Concentration and arrows (stay level) are your friend. The main thing is to get the combo to 100 and that’s it, you can go out. I scored a combo of 170 and got 7 million points.

In the house of flowers, I first walked through all the floors, robbed the guards and stunned them, and then calmly collected everything on the level (that I could).

To get this achievement, I recommend playing in the normal “Time is Money” mode on the House of Flowers map. In “Time is Money” you have to steal a lot of things as quickly as possible. As soon as you pick up the first valuable item, you will notice the 60-second timer start counting down in the upper left corner. In addition, the chain of collected loot will be indicated above it, and the multiplier to the left. The goal of the game is to collect all the valuable loot in the level before the timer runs out. Each valuable item you pick up resets the timer and your multiplier increases depending on how large a chain of collected loot you have collected. If the 60-second timer expires, a 45-second timer appears in the middle of the screen, after which the round ends. The multiplier will improve with each valuable item collected up to a 10-fold increase, but it can also decrease if you do not collect loot for a long time. The House of Flowers map contains 175 valuable items, and you will need to make a chain of at least 130 items to definitely get 5,000,000 points. While you collect items, your score will not be close to the designated goal, since there is no bonus chain added to it, which is calculated in the background, and if you have collected a fairly large chain, then the bonus will be huge. For example, during my playthrough I had 2.5 million points indicated on the indicator, and when I finished collecting the chain, which already consisted of 140 items, my bonus increased my total score to 6 million points. Below are some tips to help you along the way: The guards' wallets are one of those items that are considered valuable, so be sure to loot the guards. As a rule, each of them has 2-3 wallets. If you're going to get rid of the guards, clear him out first. Don't be afraid to stun a few guards if you're having trouble getting any loot. You are penalized for each stun, but by a fairly small amount compared to the final result you get. If you stun five guards, you will be fined 75,000 points. You quickly increase the bonus chain if you steal each subsequent item within 10 seconds. If you see an area with several items and a guard is patrolling nearby, wait until he moves away and then quickly collect everything. Pay attention to the minimap, as there are places in the level that are difficult to see, but they are indicated on the minimap. Like the room behind you as you start, or the door at the far end of the room with two stone stairs that lead up to a room with some great loot. If you are moving from one room to another and they are patrolled by guards, then try to leave a couple of loot items nearby so that you can assess the situation and if you sit for a very long time, then you can reset the counter to zero painlessly and without revealing yourself. Even if the path is clear, this is very useful since you give yourself an extra 60 seconds head start to explore the next room. Play carefully and try to make the passage easier. The main advantage is that the places where objects are located and guards patrol are always the same. Practice clearing each new room until you have fully explored the level. After this, it will be easier for you to complete the entire level and get the coveted 5,000,000 points. Once you do this, the achievement will unlock.
