Yep, they're back again. And we have to collect them all to complete this game 100%.
Episode 1: Turning Japanese
Before we get started with rescuing Riochi Cooper, we look for all of the Clue Bottles. This list is based on a clue bottle location video by Happy Thumbs Gaming, which proved to be a huge help for collecting all thirty Clue Bottles in the episode and allowed for me to make a transcript of how to get everything. You can watch that video here. To collect them, move into them or hit them with your cane. Breaking Clue Bottles can alert enemies, so be careful.
When you collect all 30 Clue Bottles, you'll be able to open the safe when you find it. There are three segments: one where you move the triangle to the top with the left stick, one where you move the triangle to the the top with the right stick, and one where you move the the triangle to the top with motion controls by tilting the controller to the side. You only have a couple of seconds to do this, so be quick.
ThiefNet is back, and once again, you'll need money from the coins that you collect to buy the abilities. Unlike other games in the series, you can come back to the ThiefNet menu for a refresher on how to perform any ability you buy, should you need it.
There is no trophy for grabbing all the clue bottles in an episode; there are only trophies for opening the safes.
The first safe contains Coopergiwa's Gold Magnet, which allows you to grab coins from further away.
If you see anything sparkling, that is a treasure you can take back to the hideout like in the second game. I save the treasures for much later in the Let's Play.
The crane enemies will shoot at you with a bow and arrow, while the monkey enemies will shoot fireworks at you. The boar enemies are the big heavies with the flashlights and will shoot crossbows at you. You're much better off running away if they spot you, as it takes a lot of hits to take them down. Flashlight enemies are much better off taking the stealth kill. The flashlight enemies can speak, which makes them even more interesting, unlike in the other games.
If enemies have a shining pocket, you can steal a treasure worth more than just coins. Treasures will automatically be sold on ThiefNet for money upon retrieval, much like in the third game. Each chapter has its own set of three treasures, and for Episode 1, you have the Ivory Chopsticks, the Mahjong Tile and the Kabuki Mask.
Holding Triangle as Sly allows you to charge up the staff for a spin attack. When the whirring sound stops, the attack is fully charged. You start the game with this attack, but I first mention it here, and it will be in the controls at the end of the blogs at this point forward.
