PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 3 of 49


Now that we've gotten all the clue bottles, it's time to go work and start foiling Dimitri's plans and make the Clockwerk Feathers as good as ours.

Satellite Sabotage


For this mission, you'll be hacking into Dimitri's satellite array to intercept his communications and moving the satellites so they point at the safe house. Don't forget that you can press Up and ropes and pipes to climb them.

There will be three satellites to hack into. Go up to the Sly icon on each of them to hack into the dishes and re-position. If you need help finding them, press L3 to locate them. Thankfully, you can find them all on the rooftops, and activating them all is pretty easy.

Once you re-position the satellites, you'll then need to break into the nightclub and take some recon photos of the Clockwerk Feathers, and to get in, you'll need to sneak through an underground wine cellar underneath the town.

Breaking and Entering


Once inside, you'll meet Murray. Trek forward, and you and Murray will fight the rats that are here. Once they're all down, Murray will lower the bars so you can double jump over them by pressing X in mid-air after a jump. 

Also, watch out near any areas with a red triangle with a white exclamation point. If you go past one, you'll abort the mission and lose all progress you've made on it.

To get past the lasers, you'll need to get past them without touching them. After the first set, press Circle near the table to crawl under it and get past the lasers. The lasers will damage you if you touch them, so be careful.

You'll also meet the flashlight guards. If they see you with their flashlights, they will shoot at you, and they do not miss. For the ones you see here, crawl under the table like you did earlier. When you reach the open air vent, press Circle to crawl into it like you did with underneath the table and move through it to reach another area.

To get rid of the yellow lasers, you'll need to beat up the nearby guard. Knock him into the air from behind and press Triangle, then slam him down with Square. Remember that this move only works on enemies that have not seen you. As for the four smaller rats, alerting them will not fail the mission. Just remember to get your shot in, back off as they get up, then move in and strike until they die if you alert them.

Only enemies with glowing pockets will have trinkets to steal if you pickpocket them enough times.

Near the piano is another air vent. Smash it open by attacking it, then walk into the vent. You'll drop down further into an air vent. Head for the windows, look towards them and press R3 to go into spy camera mode. From here, look around with the left analog stick and zoom in with Up and Down on the right analog stick. When you get a green target reticle and the name of the target underneath, press R1 (why did I say Circle?). Simple as that!

Once you get the pictures of Dimitri, the generator and the money printer, you'll head back to the safe house automatically.

After these two missions, you'll get a cutscene showing what more you need to do. You'll need to replace a painting with a bugged one to listen in on more communications, and you'll also need to follow Dimitri to figure out more of his plans. Welcome to the 

When you go to ThiefNet, use Left and Right to switch between buying abilities and selling loot. Small and/or bronze items are worth the least, medium and/or silver items are worth more, and large and/or gold items are worth the most.
