PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 47 of 49


In this entry, we get the last big ticket treasure before disabling another engine.

Treasure of the Video

Golden Vase - This is near the stack of crates on the lowest level. Once you get it, make your way up, and Paraglide to the safe house like you did with all the other treasures.

Bentley/Murray Team Up


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

The Temporal Lock allows Bentley to freeze time around the guards for a short time. Really useful if you need to make an escape, especially if you have Adrenaline Rush equipped.

For this one, Bentley will have to hack the stations controlling access to the engine room so that Murray can go inside and use his muscle to finish the job. From here, you'll need to use L3 to find the three terminals. One is near where the mission starts, while the other two are at the engines you have yet to disable. You also have to do all three terminals in a specific order, and you'll need to use L3 to figure that order out.

With that, you have one last hacking job. For these hacking missions, you'll have special shots that will bounce off walls a few times before eventually disappearing. Use this to your advantage and take out any stationary tanks around blind corners. The first part is a linear path to get you used to these shots, the second part is a battle arena-esque layout where you'll have to move around and deal with moving enemies, and the third part is another linear path where you constantly have to deal with moving enemies towards you while using the bank shot to the best possible advantage.

After the last terminal, the metal door next to you. As Murray, you'll need to lift all of the giant cylinders in the room, then destroy them on the top level. Just grab a cylinder and mash the buttons to lift it, then take out the enemy that pops up afterward. Once you lift all the cylinders up, go up to the top floor and hit the tops of the cylinders with the Thunderflop. Once you do that, you'll be able to access the switch and disable the engine here.
