Spice Grinder Destruction

Mission Start

You'll need to play as Sly to start this one.

To get past the laser fences, you'll need to jump into the barrel, walk towards the consoles, jump out and get away so you don't get hit by the explosion. The TNT barrels will not protect you from lasers.

Once you're at the manufacturing area, you'll need to destroy the grinder. To do that, you'll have to walk another TNT barrel all the way up into the spice grinder basin and jump out. Keep in mind that if you stand still while in the barrel, enemies will just pass you buy, even if they are carrying a flashlight.

Also, the door protecting the briefcases can be blown apart with a TNT barrel.

Blow The Dam

Mission Start

For this one, you'll have to play as Bentley.

The Juggernaut Throw gets bought at this point, since there are no missions in this episode that require you to play as Murray to start them. This allows objects that Murray throws with the throw move to explode on impact, causing more damage than usual, and does not need to be equipped like any other gadget in order to take effect.

To force Rajan out of hiding, you'll have to blow the dam up, as tigers are adverse to water. Thanks to the bug planted in Rajan's office by Sly, Bentley has learned that Rajan has received an auto-pilot attack helicopter. Bentley then blows up a nearby truck containing the helicopter and gets in, but it is not long before Rajan's forces find out what is going on.

You'll need to focus on destroying the dam, but you also want to take out as many of the enemy helicopters and their missiles as you can while you do it. If a missile produces a dark pink cloud, that means the missile is coming right for you and needs to be shot down immediately. Remember that the cannons on this overheat just like the turret you manned as Murray back in Episode 2, and that you'll want to watch the temperature gauge at the bottom to ensure that the cannons do not overheat.
