It's time to make the final preparations for the heist and the getaway. In this entry, we blow up the surface-to-air defenses with an RC copter and hack through Rajan's palace security.
Boardroom Brawl
You'll need to play as Sly for this one. You'll need to enter the pipe to the side of the palace, then look for a combination to the vault room to break into it from the inside. Take out the guards one by one to make things easier if you need to, then start crawling under the tables to find the vault combination. Sly will mention if there is a code or not when you crawl under a table. Once you find it, you'll be able to use the keypad at the nearby laser barriers.
Once you use the keypad, you can trip the switch and allow entry into the palace for Bentley and Murray so that Bentley can hack the computers. Before you do that, however, there is the vault. By opening the vault, you can get the Insanity Strike, which allows you to charge up your staff, strike an enemy and have them fight on your side temporarily.
Once you let Bentley and Murray in, Bentley will start hacking through the six levels of security while Sly and Murray take care of the welcome wagon. Interestingly, you don't play as Sly here; you'll be playing as Murray. I usually use Triangle for the uppercut followed by Square to knock enemies out of the air to destroy them, but I stick to using Square for the hook punches the entire time to keep enemies away from Bentley for a little longer, especially when an enemy can take out as much as half of Bentley's health meter in the lower-right hand corner.
Once Bentley goes through all six levels of security, you'll be done with this mission and you'll have control of Sly again.
RC Bombing Run
You'll need to play as Bentley to start this mission. Getting to the rooftops of the palace area is a slight pain unless you can find something that you will bounce you upwards.
The Size Destabilizer allows Bentley to shrink enemies and make them less of a threat. Use the assigned button to power it up, then strike an enemy with Square while your crossbow is glowing. If you connect, the enemy will get smarter. From there, it will take less damage to defeat them.
For this mission, you'll be controlling an RC copter with the left analog stick while pressing X to drop bombs. The bombs do not have to land directly on the guards; if guards in the explosion radius, they're done for. If you lose track of the truck, a red holographic tracking arrow will point in the direction you need to go to catch up. If any missiles show up, you'll need to make sharp turns by going straight in the opposite direction that you are going to throw it off and get it away from you, and even make the missile explode.
With all the missions done, it's time for Operation: Hippo Drop. Bentley will destroy the bridge to stop reinforcements and distract Rajan and his palace forces. While Sly has a dance with Carmelita and distracts all the guests, Murray will lower into the ballroom on the electric winch, cut the Clockwerk Wings loose and winch back up with the wings. When Murray leaves the palace, Bentley will get the van ready for an exit out of the palace.
