PrinceWatercress plays Sly 2: Band of Thieves - Part 34 of 49


In this entry, we blow the locks off the three Iron Horse trains, then get Murray out of a jam by stealing keys from Carmelita, who is dressed for the weather despite her whole body being a fur coat.

Treasure of the Video

Golden Plate - This one is inside the bear cave. Make sure the bear is far enough away from you before you grab it so you can make it to the safe house in 45 seconds. Don't forget to run!

Spice In The Sky


For this one, you'll need to blow the lock off the caboose of the Iron Horse trains, but to do that, you'll have to bounce off five spice gas balloons in the air, collect the denature spice gas, then land on the caboose of one of the trains once the light on the bomb on your back is green so that the lock gets blown off as soon as you land. You'll be using the Paraglide the entire time to maneuver into the balloons and get to the caboose to gain entry, and if you miss your target, you'll have to keep trying until you nail it. Don't forget that you can turn as you're bouncing off a balloon, and that you can use Down on the left analog stick to lean back to change the angle you're slowly dropping at when necessary.

Once you blow off a lock, you'll need to get back on the plane that Murray is piloting to do it again. If you need help locating it, press L3. Once you pull this off three times, the job is over.

A Friend In Need


Bad news; Murray got caught by Carmelita - who is dressed for the weather - while looking for some food outside of the safe house. You'll need to find Carmelita, get behind her and steal the three keys for the cage Murray is locked in so you can get him back.

To find the cage, however, you'll need to find Carmelita and follow her first. She has a brighter white spotlight with a longer range. She will also shoot down any enemies in the way with her shock pistol, but don't get too close or else you'll be on the business end of it. Once you reach the key, you'll find that Carmelita is trying to capture the rest of the gang to get back on Interpol's good side...which we obviously can't have.

Use L3 to find Carmelita, and steal the keys from behind her back like you've stolen money and goods from every enemy you've seen before. Once you steal a key, however, you'll need to hold R1 and get away from Carmelita immediately, because she [b]will[/b] notice you doing this and shoot at you with the shock pistol. You'll need to be a pretty good distance away from Carmelita before she finally gives up, allowing you to take another key. The railroad tracks are a good means of getting away from her. Also, don't use any abilities like the Smoke Bomb near her. She will hear it and move towards your general direction.

If Carmelita is near the cage when you get the third and last key, you'll still need to lose her before you can free Murray. Once you free Murray, this job is over.

Carmelita will stick around for the rest of the episode after this. Steer clear of her; not even Bentley's sleep darts will work on her, as they will just get her attention and go after you even if you're on the top of a building thanks to her super jump.
