PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 17 of 49


In this episode, we steal blueprints - and half of the Clockwerk Heart - from under Rajan's nose.

Treasure of the Video

Gilded Scepter - You'll need to plan your route from the podium to the safe house careful, since you'll be to the side of the palace entrance and it'll be hard to jump back to the entrance. You may have to go down to ground level to get the Gilded Scepter to the safe house, and if that happens, you'd better be able to know your way around.

Leading Rajan


You'll be starting and completing this job as Bentley. Here, you'll be taking three blueprints away from under Rajan's nose, and you'll have to lead him to melons that he will eat before taking a short nap. As he sleeps, you'll have a limited time to take a blueprint from him. Once you take one, get away from him before he can see you.

The Snooze Bomb will put any enemies hit by it to sleep. This is useful if you're about to get surrounded. This bomb uses special move energy and can only be laid down, not thrown.

For this one, your sleep darts will be replaced with sonic disruptor darts. Instead of putting enemies to sleep, it will distract enemies and lead them to wherever the darts land. This will not only distract all the enemies, but also Rajan himself. Use the darts to lead Rajan to the melon, then run all the way to him, press Circle and take one of the sets of blueprints he has. You'll be doing this three times in three different locations throughout the area, and you'll need to use the sonic disruptor darts to lead Rajan along to the melons without getting the attention of a whole lot of enemies. If you get caught by Rajan, you'll be sent back to where you got your last set of blueprints to try again.

We are now done with the second leg of the episode. For the third leg, Rajan will go into hiding deep into the temple after what we've done, and to get his part of the Clockwerk Heart, he will need to be driven into the open. To do that, we'll have to make him angry by destroying the spice grinder and destroying the dam above the temple to flood him out. If that does not work, a powerful explosive will be used to blow up the temple grotto, assuming we can trade a huge gem on the temple for it. Regardless of what happens, Rajan will show up with his half of the Clockwerk Heart.

Neyla's Secret


For this one, you'll be following Neyla again, this time to get to a secret entrance. Just like least time, hold R1 to run and keep close to Neyla at all times. This time, she will leave a yellow trail to make it easier to see her.

Once you make it to the entrance and get in, you'll need to get behind the flashlight guards and steal their winch keys. Once you get the two keys, unlock the winch to drop it on the guards and get half of the Clockwerk Heart. That's it. That's the whole mission.
