PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 46 of 49


In this episode, we go for two of the big-ticket treasures before shutting down one of the blimp's engines.


If you run near the mechanical eggs, they will hatch and spawn helicopters that will fly around and shoot at you. The helicopters are easy to defeat, but they can annoying if other enemies are around.

Treasures of the Video

Jeweled Egg - This one is near the rear engine room. Take out all the nearby enemies first, then Paraglide your way to the safe house once you're close enough.

Golden Headdress - This is behind the left building past the left rotating ring/fan. If you know how to get the Jeweled Egg to the safe house, you know how to get this over there.

Sly/Bentley Conspire


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

Sly and Bentley will have to work together to disable one of the engine. Sly will have to pickpocket the guard's keys to the engine room, then Bentley will take over.

As always, use L3 to locate where the guards with the keys are, then pickpocket accordingly. The hardest one to get to is near the crates where the third big-ticket treasure is. You'll ether have to approach him from a weird angle from the side or use the Alarm Clock to distract him. If you're going to do the latter, get rid of all nearby enemies first. Interestingly, it is very much possible for other enemies to kill a guard with a key, which leads to a job fail and forces you to restart with all the keys you've taken. The guy near one of the engine room is also hard to get the key from, and you'll have to approach him like you did the crate guard.

Once you unlock the door, you'll be playing as Bentley. Enter Binocucom mode at start shooting the bulbs with the dart gun. Once you shoot a bulb, you'll need to shoot the bulb that is either directly above or below it. It won't be hard to find, as you'll see a red bolt of electricity coming from the one you shot. If you shoot any of the other bulbs, you'll create a power surge that will blow up the engine and take you with it.

Once you destroy all the bulbs, go up to the next level and lay bombs at all the orange nods on the floor while avoiding the helicopters. Once you blow them all up, you can pull the switch to disable the engine.
