PrinceWatercress plays Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time - Part 34 of 48


It's back to finding treasures in this video, and we manage to find a few despite having no idea where to go for some of them.


The treasures in this game work much like they do in Sly 2: they will be in certain locations in the episodes, and you'll have to go out of your way to find them, interact with them to grab them, and bring them back to the hideout without getting hurt by the enemies. Sadly, there is no way to get them show up on the Select screen map. Unlike that game, where some items were on timers and others were not, all of the treasures are on timers and you'll have a certain amount of time to get a treasure back to the hideout. The amount of time that you get depends on the treasure.

Each episode - not counting the Paris prologue and epilogue - has 12 treasures in all, leading to a total of 60. There are also a few Trophies for going for all the treasures along the way.

I also create some rules of my own for the treasure collection videos as well.

1. There are no practice runs. Everything that is done is done on the fly.

2. You will need all of the costumes before even attempting to get all of these.

3. There is a total of twenty (20) minutes to collect treasures per video. Whether any more time is needed to get one more treasure is a matter of discretion.

4. The timer only starts after exiting the hideout and gameplay begins.

5. In case a return to the hideout is needed to get away from enemies or to switch episodes, the timer is suspended. The timer is only restarted once the hideout is exited again and gameplay begins again.

6. After the twenty (20) minutes are up, we get to read the treasure descriptions and rotate the treasures.

GamesRadar made for some pretty good notes on how to find everything; you can find them here.

2. T-Rex Skull




You'll need to climb your way up to reach a bucket of arrows near a bird's nest, then shoot at a target on a platform to get to another target. There is an Ancestor Door for the Archer's Costume at the end; from here, you'll need to Paraglide straight to the hideout with the ten seconds you hav.e

3. Grizz's Lair Key




This one involves an Ancestor Door for the Thief Costume. You'll have to slow down time to get to the door before it closes, which makes it harder to see the water on the spire jumps than it should be. Be ready to use the compass once you get back on the mainland.

4. Spiked Club




Near the Sabertooth costume jumps for Treasure #2 is a lava cave. Use the Archer's Costumes to get paths to the targets, then use the Samurai costume to deflect the fireball back at the door. Once you've got the treasure, be ready to run over the ropes, then get back up to the hideout as quickly as possible. You may have to hoof it for this one.

5. Slytankhamen's Vase




This is at the top of a large skeleton near the center of the map. You'll have to bounce your way to the top to get this treasure, then Paraglide your way back to the hideout.

6. Mona Lita




This treasure is in a tunnel far to the north. Once you grab the treasure, you'll need to approach a geyser and launch yourself up to get to the hill leading to the hideout.
