First | Previous | Next | End

Theft on the Rails

Mission Start

You'll need to play as Sly to start and play this job. You'll need to get on top of the caboose of the nearby train, then press Circle at the Sly icon.

Once you're on the train, equip the Music Box and use it to distract the guards and put them to sleep, so you can wipe them all out with Silent Obliteration. All the while, you'll still need to watch out for lasers and spotlights, so you'll have to move carefully to avoid them. As for the enemies on top of the train cars, you can knock them off the edge.

Once you reach the head of the train, the second Clockwerk Lung is yours.

It's time for Operation: Choo-Choo. To get on Iron Horse #3 and get the Clockwerk Stomach, you'll need the handcart. Murray will push it to the train so that Sly can get inside while Bentley takes care of everything on the outside. 

Operation: Choo-Choo

Mission Start

You'll need to play as Murray for the final job of this episode.

Get to the handcart. Once you do, everyone will jump aboard, and Sly will make his way inside. Once again, distract the guards and put them to sleep, and watch out for the lasers and spotlights. Jean Bison will be pacing around on a train car, but he will not notice you before you make it past him...at which point you'll see Neyla again.

This is where Bentley comes in. Once again, you'll be controlling the RC copter. Avoid the bullets and planes as you constantly shoot at Neyla's plane, and you'll take her out. 

From here, you're Sly again. Watch out for the eagles, and be ready to crawl under a train on a pipe and jump from one hook to another on the side. After two more guards, you'll get the Clockwerk Stomach...almost. You'll have to shoot down Neyla with the RC Copter again. This time, Neyla will have new bullet patterns, and she will also get underneath you and shoot missiles at you, but she is still beatable as long as you watch where all those red projectiles go. Once you shoot down Neyla a second time, you'll get the Stomach. 

The episode ends with three more Clockwerk parts in the Cooper Gang's possession as well as the Klaww Gang's spice distribution throughout North America shut down. Sly also helps Carmelita get away from Neyla's forces.
