How to Answer the Gentle Thief's Questions in Phantom Blade Zero (All 3 Answers)

Every correct answer for the Gentle Thief's quiz in the Honor Among Thieves quest, plus details on the Silent Wrap reward that muffles footsteps and assassinations.

Honor Among Thieves: The Gentle Thief's Quiz

Early in your Phantom Blade Zero journey you will run into a side quest called Honor Among Thieves, and like several other quests in the game, it ends with a short quiz. The man you need to speak to is known as the Gentle Thief, and after you hand over a letter he will test whether you actually know what was in it. He asks three questions in a row, and you have to respond to each one before the quest can be completed.

Get one of his questions wrong and you will not walk away with the prize. This guide lists every question he asks along with the correct answer for each, exactly as shown in the video, so you can finish the conversation in one clean pass and claim your reward: the Silent Wrap, an item that reduces the noise you make while moving around and executing assassinations.

Where to Find the Gentle Thief

The Gentle Thief waits at the location highlighted in the video, so open the page's embedded footage and skim to the opening seconds if you want to see exactly where he stands before you set out. Once you know the spot, reaching him is straightforward:

Travel to the area shown at the start of the video.
Look for the quest's NPC there — this is the Gentle Thief himself.
Walk up and speak with him to begin Honor Among Thieves.

There is no combat involved in this stretch of the quest. It is a pure conversation encounter, so you can walk in under-leveled or low on healing items without any trouble.

How the Quiz Works

When you talk to the Gentle Thief and deliver the letter, he tells you that he has three questions for you, and you have to answer them. Each question probes a detail connected to the letter and the story behind it — one about something a man did at a young age, one about the appearance of a hairpin, and one about the fate of a child. Pick the correct response to each and the quest wraps up on the spot, with your reward handed over immediately after the final answer.

If you would rather not sit through the back-and-forth more than once, here are all three questions with the answers you should choose.

All Three Gentle Thief Questions and Correct Answers

#	Question	Correct Answer
1	What did he do when he was 13 that he never stopped bragging about?	Stole a patron's jade belt
2	What did the hairpin look like?	A butterfly
3	Do you know what became of the child?	The letter doesn't mention the child — it seems his fate is unknown

Question 1: The Bragging at 13

The Gentle Thief opens the quiz by asking what the man did when he was 13 that he never stopped bragging about. Out of the options presented, pick "Stole a patron's jade belt." That is the answer to the first question, and it is the detail the old thief could simply never let go of.

Question 2: The Hairpin

Question two shifts to a piece of jewelry: he asks what the hairpin looked like. Choose the option describing a butterfly. The hairpin took the shape of a butterfly, and that is the response he is looking for the second time around.

Question 3: The Fate of the Child

For the final question, he asks whether you know what became of the child. Here the right move is honesty about what the letter actually says: select the answer stating that the letter doesn't mention the child, and it seems his fate is unknown. Do not invent a happier or darker ending — the correct choice is the one admitting the letter never says. That is the answer to question number three, and with it the quiz is complete.

Tips for the Conversation

Answer all three in one sitting. The quiz runs question to question in a single conversation, so have the three answers ready before you deliver the letter.
Stick to what the letter says. Two of the three correct answers hinge on small details, and the third is correct precisely because it admits the letter is silent on the matter. When in doubt, choose the response grounded in the letter itself.
Do not skip the reward prompt. Your prize for completing the quest is handed over right after the last answer, so let the dialogue finish playing out.

Reward: The Silent Wrap

Answer all three questions correctly and Honor Among Thieves is complete. You will get your reward on the spot:

Reward	Effect
Silent Wrap	Reduces your noise from footsteps and assassinations

The Silent Wrap is a stealth-oriented item: it quiets both your footsteps as you move and the noise made by your assassinations. If you like creeping past enemies or lining up silent kills, this is a handy thing to have on you, and it costs you nothing beyond a few correct lines of dialogue.
