Episode 5: A Tangled Web

The Contessa is now hiding in her well-fortified castle estate. Not only if she a member of the Klaww Gang, but she also has the Clockwerk Eyes, which she plans to use to amplify her hypnotic powers. Meanwhile, Neyla - having been given a cash allowance by Interpol - has hired some local mercenaries, and the Cooper Gang is about to be caught in the middle. It's up to them to move in and beat The Contessa and Neyla at their own games before things get worse.

The Paraglide is 600 coins, but it is very useful and does not need special weapon energy or an assigned button. Press R1 when in mid-air to slowly glide forwards. You're going to need this for the rest of the game, as it will make getting around on the rooftops easier.

The tanks near the safe house will destroy you in only two hits. Do not let their lights see you, as you will be a dead duck (Raccoon? Turtle? Hippo?) if you get blasted.

Most of the clue bottles will be in the estate area, with the others being around the two "islands" that make up the rest of the area.
