Reverse 1999 Thief of the Thieves all phases' solutions and rewards
Reverse 1999 Thief of the Thieves is a side event of The Theft of the Rimet Cup in version 1.1. You play as Melaina and are tasked with protecting valuable items: Disc of Turin, Mainedonty, Crystal Skull, and The Football Match for Ramirez, a security organization comprising Arcanists.
Each chapter offers problems in various phases that you must solve with limited Action Points (two to three in each) to get the highest rating. The ratings are divided into A, B, and C, with A being the highest, B being average, and C being the lowest. To get an A in each chapter, you must score 90 points or above.
Here are the rules in regard to the points you get for every right solution:
- Every right solution for a normal problem grants five points.
- Every right solution for an emergency problem provides 10 points.
- Every wrong solution deducts five points.
You can accumulate Psychube materials, Dust, Sharpodonty, and other Reverse 1999 items as rewards by completing all chapters with an A rating. Here is the list of rewards:
