PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 22 of 49


Now that Sly is back in action, it's time to get Murray out...and to do that, we need to cause some headaches for the prison.

Treasure of the Episode

Crystal Ball - All three of the podium treasures are in the prison area, and this one in particular is behind the fenced-off area. Once you get this thing, you'll have 90 seconds to get to an opening out of the prison and towards the railroad tracks which you can use as a short path to the safe house. Keep using L3 for the three big ticket items here, because you're gonna need it!

Big House Brawl


You'll need to be Sly to start this. Get to the pipe in the area underneath one of the bridges. From here, you'll find a shortcut into an air vent in the prison, where you can contact Murray. Sly will get Murray - who has noticed that the food has been laced with spice - to start a fight in the prison and hopefully beat up enough enemies - 50, to be exact - to get locked in solitary confinement, which has a big security flaw that Bentley will take advantage of.

Besides your own two fists, you ahve spike walls that you can throw enemies into. There are also LED boards through out the room that show how many enemies you've beaten up. Triangle followed by Square is the wonder combo, but don't be afraid to press Square once between enemies to give equal punishment to a whole slew of enemies in case you're surrounded.

When you complete this mission you'll be back at the safe house.

Disguise Bridge


Once again, you'll need to be Sly to start this one.

The giant pipes underneath the most prominent bridge in the area feed power to the prison security system, and that Bentley will need to blow up the pipes in order to sever the connection. As Bentley does that, Sly will have to provide protection, as Murray is still locked up.

To fool the guards, you'll need to destroy the statues, take their place, and then take out enemies when they least suspect it. Use the web as a trampoline to get up to the bridge, destroy the statues and take out the enemies before they get to Bentley. For best results, you need to be on the opposite end of the bridge at Bentley, then hide as astatue and take out the enemy at the back of the the pack. The Voltage Attack will also work wonders here, especially if you're dealing with a flashlight guard, though you probably won't need it unless you're stealing from them.

After enough passes, you'll blow up the pipes and you'll disable the security system.
