PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 32 of 49

Unlike past episodes, I have almost no problem finding the clue bottles here, mostly because the weather got colder as I recorded this Let's Play. Because of that, I could hear the note bottles a lot better and I didn't have any sort of air conditioning running that kept me from hearing the bottles as they made that "tink" noise.

Episode 6: He Who Tames The Iron Horse

The trail of spice shipments takes the Cooper Gang to the lair of Sir Jean Bison, a prospector from the 1850s who was buried alive and frozen for the next 150 years. Now he clear cuts forests in the name of progress and is part of the Klaww Gang's spice enterprise. He also has a few of the Clockwerk Parts, but why?

Silent Obliteration replaces Sly's stealth move. Knock an enemy up from behind with Triangle, then press Square to wipe them out. This renders the old one not only obsolete, but also unusable, so get used to executing this move quickly. It also takes out the enemies silently, unlike your old move, so you won't attract the attention of anybody else when you use it.

The duck enemies will hit rocks at you with their shovels...and those rocks can take off half of a full health bar. Unless you really need to, don't mess with them.

At the higher elevations, watch for birds. That way, the Canadian Eagles don't swoop down on you.

Some of the snowy arears have moles that will pop out of the ground and hit you with a spin attack. Thankfully, you can watch the ground in these areas and see where they are as they move.

The orange tanks spawn enemies if their searchlights spot you. Don't let that happen.

Treasure Of The Video

Crystal Bell - At the tallest peak lies a transmitter...and the Crystal Bell. Thankfully, there is no timer and you can safely paraglide as close as you can to the safe house. Just don't get by any Canadian Eagles up there.

Anyway, here's the clue bottles.
