Hand Tailored | Client Jobs - Ector Thief Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Employer: Ector [Stonemarket - Ector's Emporium]

Availability: you get the opportunity to start this mission right after you have completed Machinations, a side mission received from Basso.

The window of accepting the mission

During the conversation with Ector, during the Machinations side mission, you will be asked to perform a job with him, which is connected with retrieving a mechanical hand. Of course, it pays off to accept this mission. However, I recommend against going on this mission if you have not yet bought the Razor, which appears on stock after you complete the game's second chapter. Otherwise, you will be incapable of collecting all the loot from the tailor's place.

Alfonso's place is to the East of Ector's shop. After you leave the employer's shop, [Stonemarket - The Gullet] take the ladder on the left and find the narrow passage between crates, shown in the above screenshot. Squeeze through, thanks to which you will get to a new district [Stonemarket - Baron's Way North]. You can now go East, where you will reach the passage, to the tailor's shop, after several moments [Stonemarket - Alfonso's Surroundings].

Go towards the shop, located to the North-East of the starting point. The area near the entrance to the shop is being guarded by a single mercenary and it is good if you can divert his attention, e.g. by throwing a bottle, thanks to which you will gain the opportunity to rob him of his two Coin Purses - 3+2G. Apart from that, you can find here an Ashtray - 3G. I recommend against taking the main passage (you would additionally have to use lockpicks), because the largest room at the ground floor is being occupied by three people and it would be difficult to steal the loot here (it becomes easier later into the mission). When it comes to this, you can attempt robbing both of the enemies (by throwing items, using gadgets, etc), thanks to which you will obtain their Coin Purses.

Take the side-alley, which will take you to the East. Along your path, take a look into the storage, on the South, where you can find a Pocket Portrait - 4G. Close to the cart, you can find a Poppy, which you can use to regenerate the Focus bar. Also, do not take the back door on the ground floor. Instead, look up and use the claw to gain access to a small room at the first floor [Stonemarket - Alfonso's Residence].

You need to keep vigilant, because one of the mercenaries is traveling between the ground floor and the first floor. It is worth adding that also this opponent has a Coin Purse - 5G attached to his belt. When it comes to avoiding him, you can try turning off the lights and putting out the candle, and also, if you have the wrench on you, you can also access the venting shaft that connects the rooms here.

Try to explore this floor thoroughly, thanks to which you will find the contract (Ector Client Jobs - Eelbiters Contract), Scissors - 5G, an Ink Bottle - 3G, a Pocket Portrait - 4G), Earrings - 12G, a Hand Mirror - 8G, two Perfume Bottle - 2x7G, a Vase - 10G, a Hairbrush - 10G and a letter (Ector Cl - Hand Tailored - Client Jobs - Ector - Thief - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Additionally, in the locked cupboard, there is a collectible (Whiteridge's Duty - The Statuesque Lady), and if you have the razor, you can obtain the painting (The Court of Montonessi - Guilt has Black Wings) shown in the above screenshot

Wait for the mercenary to appear at the first floor again and go towards the stairs quickly. Climb down, to the ground floor, and go to the cellar [Stonemarket - Alfonso's Workshop]. Also here, you need to keep precautions, because the next opponent is traveling between the individual areas of the cellar. The game will, of course, allow you to steal the Coin Purse - 12G attached to his belt. A big facilitation is the fact that many of the areas in the cellar are shrouded in darkness so, you can hide on a regular basis.

In the cellar, you will find a Pocket Portrait - 4G, an Ink Bottle - 3G, a Hand Mirror - 8G, Scissors - 5G, a Turquoise Brooch - 25G and a book (Ector Client Jobs - Alfonsos Workbook) - Hand Tailored - Client Jobs - Ector - Thief - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the cellar, you will find a Pocket Portrait - 4G, an Ink Bottle - 3G, a Hand Mirror - 8G, Scissors - 5G, a Turquoise Brooch - 25G and a book (Ector Client Jobs - Alfonso's Workbook). Finally, turn your attention to the safe shown in the above screenshot,. Before you start breaking into it, try to divert the attention of the guard patrolling the cellar, e.g. by using a throwable, or by turning the lights off for a moment. Open the safe quickly (fortunately, it is poorly protected) and collect the (Client Loot - The Mechanical Hand) (if necessary, you can do that in two steps).

Go back up and note that, in the main room on the ground floor, [Stonemarket - Alfonso's Shop] one of the mercenaries is harassing Alfonso. The Opponent will remain in this room alone, after a while, and this will let you collect the loot that you missed earlier. On the table, there is a register (Ector Client Jobs - Alfonso's Register), and also, there are two pairs of Earrings - 12+25G here, two Vases - 2x25G, a Perfume Bottle - 7G, a Hairbrush - 4G, two pairs of Scissors - 2x5G, and a Pocket Portrait - 12G. Seize the opportunity and rob the mercenary also, by stealing his Coin Purse - 12G.

You can now return to the starting point (the summary screen) and go to Ector's [Stonemarket - Ector's Emporium] in order to return the mechanical hand.

Mission summary

This is the list of the most important items that you can find while completing this side mission for Ector:

If you want to replay this mission, you can click on Play Again, still while in the mission summary screen. If you want to return to this mission later in the game, (e.g. after you have unlocked new gadgets), you need to go to the gate in Baron's Way North, again.
