PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 15 of 49


It's time to get to work making Rajan's life miserable. In this entry, we get some recon photos, then knock out a satellite array so Rajan can't spy on us.

Treasure of the Video

Crystal Flask - Unlike the other two treasures in this episode, this treasure is not timed. Getting out of the palace area as quickly as possible without attracting enemies is key to getting this thing back to the safe house.

Spice Room Recon


You'll be starting as Sly, as always. You'll need to sneak into the temple by means of a drain pipe behind the waterfall. Get to the hatch, open the door, and you'll be in the spice growing facility.

Here, you'll need to work your way up the facility. Taking out the enemies from behind is preferable from facing them head-on. If you see any barrels going up, take them up for a bit of a shortcut. You'll also get a tutorial on the rail slide prior to where you'll end up to do the recon photos.

From here, you'll be able to get pics of Rajan, the crane controls, the Clockwerk Heart and the entrance. One half of the heart is used to pump out spice, while the other half is on Rajan's staff. Meanwhile, Bentley will have to figure out how to get into the facility and take half of the Heart.

Once you're done taking recon photos, it's time for the second leg of the episode. The Heart is under guard, and Bentley will need more info. Sly will have to bug Rajan's office, while Bentley will have to take the blueprints directly from Rajan as he makes his rounds. Also, an elephant-driven satellite array will be getting data on the gang, and that will have to be destroyed.

Freeing The Elephants


You'll be playing as Sly again for this one. You'll need to knock out the satellite array so that the Cooper Gang doesn't get spied on, and to do that, you'll need to find some spice plants, put them in the elephant feed bag, and watch as the elephant goes into a spice-induced rage and knock out the array. To get the plants, however, you'll have to climb up into the trees to get the plants.

The best way to get up to the top is the thin tower with the vines leading up. From here, you can easily press L3 to see where all six plants are. Once you approach a plant, press Circle to collect it. Once you get all six plants, you can go back to the feed bag near the elephant and place the plants inside with Circle to destroy the satellite.
