Episode 8: Anatomy For Disaster

The battery has been by Arpeggio. As a boy, Arpeggio was an exceptional student, but could not keep up with the other boys physically, and he could not fly. He focused on finding a cure through the works of the Renaissance masters, and this led to the Klaww Gang hiring him as chief inventor. Now Arpeggio has all the Clockwerk Parts in another effort to become able to fly, and all he has to do is put them together...

The enemies seem to be a little smarter than in the other episodes and can seemingly see you from a good distance away, though maybe it's just me. The jetpacks on the enemies can be dangerous; if they're in the air, don't touch the flames that come from the jetpacks, as they will burn you.

The level design here is pretty symmetrical, and I ended up not having much of a problem remembering where the clue bottles were. I managed to luck out on where Bottle 29 was as it was the hardest to remember.

The Feral Pounce is a super jump for Sly Cooper, which lets him jump over vast distances when the assigned button is pressed. I use this to get Bottle 9.
