In this episode, we ruin the advertising for Octavio's upcoming opera recital, then Carmelita and her mercenaries get to shoot down Octavio's aerial forces.
The Combat Dodge allows Sly to quickly sidestep attacks at the push of a button in exchange for some special energy. The Knockout Dive is a downward dive that does a lot of damage from above, and also uses special energy. At least it's more powerful than the regular mid-air strike (which kills all forward momentum if you are jumping forward while using it, which is something I never mention throughout the Let's Play).
At this point, you may run into Carmelita. Her flashlight is bright white as opposed to yellow and has far more range, and if she sees you with the flashlight, she will shoot at you and chase you around for a good while. Your only way of escape is to hold R1 and get away from her as fast as you can, as hiding will not work and she will find you if you even try it.
Run 'n Bomb
You'll need to play as Sly to do this one.
Bentley has taken a Carnivale fireworks stand and turned it into a base of operations, and you'll be using the fireworks to take out the sign and balloons advertising Octavio's upcoming opera recital.
The first thing you'll need to do is take some dynamite to the nearby blue arrow. Hold R1 to run and smack the enemies with your cane so they don't attack you. If you get hit, the dynamite blows up, and you'll have to start this part over. When you get the dynamite to the destination, one of the balloons will fly away.
From here, head to the fireworks stand for another target. Use L3 if you need to find it. The next destination is a little further away, so use L3 if you need help finding it as you run through the streets of Venice. This will get rid of the other balloon.
Unfortunately, the balloon will get caught on the sign, which you'll also need to destroy. You'll have to get to the side of the building where the sign is and spire jump from fixture to fixture, then get to the sign, jump where the cigarette on the mustache is and smack the sign with your cane to free the other balloon while also destroying the sign, killing two birds with one stone. Getting up here can be a tad difficult, as you'll be hanging on and jumping off hooks while also spire jumping on narrow poles and even sidling across a narrow platform on the way up. This is one job that you really don't want to rush through too quickly.
From here, Bentley gets kidnapped. Head back to the fireworks stand, and you'll find Octavio grabbing Bentley by the wheelchair. From here, you'll have to hold R1 to run while you chase after him. If he gets too far away, you'll have to start over. As you chase after Octavio, he will drop red electric barriers that you will have to jump over. Also, watch out for enemies; they can definitely get in the way. When you make it to the opera house near the town square at the end, Octavio will let Bentley go.
Turf War!
You'll need to play as Sly to start this job.
Get to one of the roofs near the police station to start this one. From here, one of the Vincinetti goons that acts as Octavio's aerial security will start chasing Bentley. Sly will knock on the door of the police station, and this starts a gameplay section where the unthinkable happens: the mercenaries come out, and you play as Carmelita...and it's fucking awesome.
The left analog stick and D-Pad moves, R1 shoots, Square kicks nearby enemies, Triangle switches between strafe mode and free movement, X jumps and double jumps and Circle performs a mega jump.
When in strafe mode, use the right analog stick to move the camera and change the direction that Carmelita is looking and aiming. If anything is in the orange target area, you can shoot at it. When the enemies are gone, switch from strafe mode to free movement to make it easier to get to the next part of the battle, which you can find with L3.
The Vincinettis will shoot at you and throw bombs at you. If you see a red light anywhere, get away from it, as it will be a bomb that is about to start flashing and soon detonate. When the enemies start spinning around, they're going down. You'll want to stay on the move and not stay in the same place for very long when fighting the Vincinettis, or else you're going to get pounded very quickly. At the town square, you can move around in a circle to avoid being shot, and you can more easily avoid any bombs.
Eventually, you'll take out all of the Vincinettis, and that will be one more job down.
