In this entry, we try to make an ally out of a deadly sea creature.
Crusher From the Depths
As you use the map to find this job, you'll see mist in the water. If you move into this mist, you'll start the job.
These misty waters are home to Crusher the Squid, whom you'll meet first-hand when he pulls out the masts. From here, you'll be playing as the Panda King, who will fight Crusher with his fireworks. Your fighting skills with the Panda King will be put to the test here, so use the right analog stick to look for the tentacles and unleash a lot of fireworks on it.
After enough damage, Crusher's head will shoot fiery rocks at you. You'll need to move around to avoid them while keeping a target reticle on the the head and firing away.
Eventually, multiple tentacles will latch on to the ship, and you'll need to look around with the right analog stick and shoot the maximum amount of fireworks at them in order to keep the ship from being dragged under. Load up on fireworks and target at least four tentacles. Once you target four, let loose. Be ready to rotate the camera in one direction with the right analog stick as you do all this; it makes it much easier to minimize the amount of tentacles on the ship.
Afterwards, you'll have multiple tentacles slapping the ship and the head of Crusher shooting rocks at you. Get the tentacles out of the way as you stay on the move, and unleash as many fireworks on the head as quickly as possible on the head before the tentacles come back.
Crusher will soon disappear, and Panda King will head below deck to craft more fireworks, leaving Sly in charge of what's going on topside. At this point, you'll actually find out that Crusher is a giant squid. This time around, Crusher will smack the ship with his tentacles. Watch the shadows, then smack the tentacles with Sly's cane to get them to stick to the ship. Once enough of them are stuck, Crusher will move in. This is your cue to hit him with a cannon. As the battle rages on, watch for the rocks as well as the tentacles. For the first phase, you'll need three tentacles; for the second phase, you'll need four, for the third phase, you'll need five.
After the third phase of this battle, you'll beat Crusher. The Guru will get into Crusher's mind and communicate with him, and Crusher will drag him under. This completes the job.
You'll then get another slideshow. It's now time for Operation: Reverse Double-Cross. Penelope is locked up in one of two secure locations: Captain LeFwee's keep or the brig of the Death's Head. Since the team is too small to attack both locations at the same time, some finagling will have to be done. You'll have to battle the Death's Head at sea, which makes for a better fight with the new upgrades. The Death's Head cannot be sunk due to Penelope potentially being there, so Sly will have to board it afterwards and promptly surrender. This will allow an audience with LeFwee and bypass the numbers of LeFwee's men. From here, Sly has to irritate LeFwee enough to get him to reveal Penelope's location. From here, one of two plans will be put underway.
