How to unlock the Happy Birthday achievement in Thief - Definitive Guide
If you were like us and came to the conclusion that we had to find a hidden birthday cake easter egg somewhere in the game or trash some poor little girl's birthday party, you thought wrong (unfortunately). The requirements for this trophy simply refers to extinguish 16 candles through the course of the game. As traversing in the shadows is preferred in this game anyways, getting rid of the light from candles will be to your advantage so you will definitely unlock this trophy naturally through the course of regular gameplay.
Only fire from candles will count towards this trophy obviously, torches and the likes will not count. Note that on Master difficulty, turning off candles if a guard is nearby to see the light go off will alert the guards that there is someone in the presence. You can eliminate that factor by purchasing stealth focus upgrades and equipment to make yourself more invisible.
This secret achievement is very straightforward. Simply approach a lit candle and tap to snuff it out. You will want to repeat this action a total of sixteen times in order to unlock the achievement. This is cumulative across all Chapters, so do not worry about trying to snuff out every single candle in a single Chapter.
Please note that snuffing out a cluster of candles will only count as 1 towards the achievement.
