"Knock out the thief " is a mission objective in Sequence 2 / Memory 01: Imprisoned
Walkthrough[edit]
The guy from the cell with the scribbles has stolen Arno's pocket watch. Arno immediately charges him then they start a little fight with their wooden swords. After some damage a cutscene will run. The fight will begin in earnest at that point.
This thief has a good defense and will occasionally parry you with fine timing. This fight works more to introduce you to Perfect Parries. They will be used soon enough. For now, just press any advantage carefully. When you create an opening with a perfect parry, you should only get a few additional strikes in (3-4). Any more than that and the thief will very likely respond with a parry of his own against you. Just keep this up until you come to the second cutscene. Arno will mention something about crazy drawings and that will lead to the next objective.
