PrinceWatercress plays Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves - Part 29 of 42


In this entry, our high seas adventures truly begin as we get the Red Sail Sea Dog's sea charts before finding some cannon blast amplification collars for the ship.


From here on out, you'll be playing as Sly. If you ever load your game from this point, you'll have no choice but to play as him, and once you go on the high seas by pressing Circle, you can't return to the safe house screen unless you save and load.

Also, when you run into ships or press Circle when nearby, you will have to fight them, and this time, the ships will fight back. Also, there is no way to stop the ship (although you probably figured that out already), so be careful where you're going.

Battle on the High Seas

When you get to the red X for this mission, you'll come across one of the members of the Red Sail Sea Dog Clan. Blow the ship to smithereens, and once you have the chance to sink it or fight the enemy captain, fight the captain. Once you beat the captain, you'll get the Red Sail charts. 

Whenever you survive an enemy skirmish, you'll see the battle results, how much money you got off each ship, your current rank, and the number of ships you've sunk and captured.

Once you get the Red Sail Charts, use the treasure map and get to the red X. You'll have to face three ships at once, so you'd better be ready to move and aim accurately at the ships in order to destroy them. In case you fight multiple ships, you can only capture the last ship you destroy; the other ones will be sunk.

From here, get to the next Red X. You'll face four ships at once this time, but if you were good at moving the ship and aiming accurately with three ships, you can do it with four. Once you win this battle, you're done with this job.

Deep Sea Danger

For this mission, you'll play as Dimitri, who will be wearing the diving suit. Bentley is looking for some cannon blast amplification collars, and you'll find enough of them for the ship where Dimitri is going. All Dimitri has to do is find them and place in a barrel suspended from above from the ship.

Triangle, Square, Circle, and X let you move forward, left, right and backwards respectively. and R1 fires the spear gun. The left analog stick or D-Pad will allow you to aim and turn around to make navigation easier.

There is a cave that you'll have to swim into, and here is where you'll find the amplification collars as well as sharks. Just watch out for the jellyfish on the way there.

To grab a collar, just move up to it and Dimitri will take it. From there, get close to the top of the basket to put the collar in the basket. You can shoot the sharks with the spear gun, but if you need to, use Square and Circle to strafe out of the way.

There are five collars, and they will be glowing red and yellow to make them easier to spot. Once you get them all in the basket, you'll need to fortify the gun with ground hammerhead shark bone, and to do that, you'll need to capture some yellow dartfish, which the sharks are attracted to. You'll need to go further down into the ground to find the fish, and once you run into two of them, you'll complete this part of the job.

Hold L1 while swimming to move even faster with the power stroke. The power stroke has a red meter on the far left side of the screen, and it will quickly empty as you use the power stroke, so use your burst of speed carefully and let it recharge. You'll still have to contend with the sharks and the jellyfish, so be careful.

Speaking of the sharks, once you get the two yellow dartfish, you'll need to find five hammerhead sharks. These sharks take three hits from the spear gun, but you'll need to sidestep the sharks' charge attacks between shots. Once you defeat five hammerhead sharks, the job is done.
