PrinceWatercress plays Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time - Part 24 of 48


In this entry, we start rescuing Salim's associates in what is left of the Forty Thieves.


Rug Rats

Salim finally has a job available, and you'll have to play as him to start this job.

Salim's Stealth Slam allows him to lock an enemy in a magic lamp.

For this job, you'll have to spring Salim's associates free, starting with "The Panther" in a nearby tower. Thankfully, there is a vent system on the side of the carpet shop, and from there, you can make your way through the shop and into the tower.

Once you're inside, you'll find out that Salim can climb up ropes at warp speed with the R2 button. As you progress, however, Bentley will find out that the layout of the carpet shop has changed, but finds that there is a weak spot in the floor that can be opened up by dropping a pallet of carpets from a great height. From here, make your way up the room and press Circle at the Sly icon to cut the rope and drop the carpets.

Salim will go down with the carpets and end up in an underground passage. The scorpion nests from Episode 3 are back, and you'll need to take out the nests as well as the scorpions. Pressing Triangle while striking with Square twice will shoot fire, and holding R1 in mid-air allows Salim to paraglide with a magic carpet.

Once you make it to the ropes, use R2 to climb straight up the ropes and up to the tower. Here, you'll have to deal with more scorpions and scorpion nests. When you interact with the lever in the center of the room, you'll have to move the left stick up and down to create a rope to climb on. From here, hide behind columns to avoid the searchlights, and hold R2 to go up the crystal ropes before they break and the cobra poles before you get attacked.

At the top of the tower, you'll find The Panther, but he is being hypnotized with a Victrola. To disable the device, you'll have to hack the nearby terminal and play a round of Spark Chaser. Once you get the spark tot he goal, you'll free The Panther and finish the job.

Up In Smoke

You'll need to play as Bentley to start this job.

For this mission, you'll need to use the RC Chopper in order to drop smoke bombs so that the turrets on some of the buildings cannot see Sly and Salim. 

The RC Chopper moves on its own, and you'll steer it with the left stick. L1 lets you get a short speed boost, while R1 drops the smoke bombs. Use the boost to get away from the bombs so they do not explore on you, and use the compass to find the nearest target and drop a smoke bomb on it.

On the first phase, you'll have six targets. On the second phase, you'll have seven. On the third phase, you'll have eight. Between phases, use the compass to et to where you need to go.

After the third phase, you'll find "The Lion" being hypnotized with a Victrola. Interact with the terminal for another round of Alter Ego. Once to complete it, you'll free The Lion and complete the job.
