PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 11 of 49


We've got three missions all lined up today! 

Dominate The Dance Floor


Now that you've got the tuxedo, go back to the ballroom as Sly. You'll be at the party all dressed up, but to get that dance with Inspector Fox, you'll have to impress her by dancing with Constable Neyla first.

This whole mission is a quick-time event. Just get the rhythm and the button presses down, and you should be able to get through this without much difficulty. You can mess up a few times and still get through this, but this is not a difficult job by any means.

Once you beat this job, you'll impress Carmelita enough for a dance later on. That will have to wait until the final leg of the job, however. You've still got work to do.

Battle The Chopper


The Turnbuckle Launch acts as a high jump for Murray and nothing else. You may find a use for this in some spots; I use it the one time here and then leave it alone.

For this mission, you'll need to play as Murray. Reach the job marker, then get to the marker behind you and mash Circle, Square, Triangle and X repeatedly so you can man the nearby turret after Bentley tells you to destroy the chopper. You can move the cannon with the left analog stick and fire with R1. You'll need to shot down the copter, but you'll also want to shoot the missiles it shoots at you, too, or else you're taking damage. This can be harder than it looks, as the missiles usually go in a spiral as they fly towards you. Also, watch the bars below the cannons at the bottom center; if they go completely red, the turret will briefly overheat and you will have to wait for it to cool down for a few seconds before you can fire again.

After this, it's time for the next phase. Bentley will need to hack the computers in the board room to control the electric winch, and a very strong sawblade made from the gems of Rajan's elephants' headresses will be needed to cut the wings off. From there, Bentley will have to shut down the palace's surface-to-air defenses.

Elephant Rampage


You'll need to be Sly to start this one. For this one, go under the crawlspace. You'll give some mice agitated, which is enough to scare some elephants. From here, you'll need to get on the seat on the backs of the elephants and strike the tiaras they are wearing from up close to knock the jewels off. There are six in all, and getting all of them is no easy feat.

As you smack the jewels off, you'll need to jump to avoid the elephants' trunks when the elephants swipe at you with them. When you get a jewel, the elephant will knock you off, and you'll have to go back up to the rooftops to get back on an elephant. Keep pressing L3 to figure out where the elephants are, and you'll be able to keep up with them.


Once you get the six jewels, the elephants will be put back in their pen and you'll be able to make that saw.
