PrinceWatercress plays Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time - Part 21 of 48


This video ended up being one of the shortest for the entire Let's Play. Imagine that.


Operation: Mousetrap

You'll have to play as Murray to start this job.

Even without Bentley to explain everything, it becomes quite clear that the gang needs to break into the castle. This is where the fire bulbs and Merlin's Magic Powder comes into play. Once the drawbridge comes down, they do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Murray will be in a spy suit in the moat. Press Circle to detonate the fire bulbs and lower the drawbridge. From here, everyone makes it to the castle, but Sir Galleth blindly charges at Penelope, gets overpowered and gets his cane stolen, because he obviously didn't learn from the robot dragon. Penelope almost closes the portcullis on the gang, but Carmelita pushes Sly - who is in the Archer costume - forward so he can deal with Penelope. Penelope then mans a bigger robot knight body and proceeds to crush Sly.

From here, we need to jump to avoid the ground pound shockwaves and run to avoid the lasers. Do not jump; that will have some bad results. You'll need to jump to the tower that the game tells you to go to, then draw the bow, shoot an arrow through one of the holes in the shield and guide it to the target, which is marked by flashing green lights. From here, you'll need to run to the robot, then keep pressing R1 when the game tells you to in order to break throw the armor and expose the giant robot's joints.

The red lights with the crosses are where missiles will land. Avoid them as you run to the next tower.

After hitting the three targets, you'll have to do this all over again to deplete the other half of Penelope's health. Once it's done, however, Penelope is defeated, but Sly is pinned down underneath the giant robot. As Penelope is about to finish Sly off, Bentley stops her and tries to reason with her, but it is no use. This leads to Bentley fighting Penelope in a robot suit modeled off of the moat monster.

The left stick moves around, while X dodges and Square attacks. When you fill up the Gadget Meter, Triangle performs a super punch that is best used after a three-hit combo. Stay back to avoid the two punches, then press X to dodge when Penelope jumps forward and attacks before attacking back. Eventually, she will get tired as you do damage to her and only throw the two punches, then she just throws one. Once she's low on health, keep pressing Square and you'll defeat her. 

After this, you'll head to ancient Arabia, and a gold coin that Carmelita pocketed as evidence happens to be from that era and their ticket there. As it turns out, Salim al-Kupar's Forty Thieves are down to a mere handful, but now even he and those last associates have disappeared. It's up to the Cooper Gang to find out what is going on.
