Paris Prologue
Enjoy the opening cinematic. Seriously, the colors are vivid and if you’re new to this series, you might appreciate the cartoon-like graphics.
Once you have control of your character, go up the path for a quick cutscene with the chopper.
Smash the crates around you to get coins. There’s a whole bunch of them in this area.
Climb up the building and scale along the ledge. Continue along the top of the building for another cutscene with the chopper.
Climb up the rope and zipline your way across for another quick cutscene.
Use the ledge to get around to the front of the museum. Bentley will point it out to you. Make sure you go slow and take your time. Don’t get caught by the searchlight- make sure it’s completely out of the way before taking a few steps.
After the next cutscene, you will have control of Bentley the Brains. Head to the control room and use your hover pack to navigate the gaps. Is it just me, or does this totally look like some of the levels from Crash Bandicoot 2? Probably just me. Oh, make sure you pick up the Sly Mask that’s right along your way!
To disable the security system, you will need to complete a series of hacks. The interface is really cool and quite fun. Follow the instructions at the top of your screen. Patience is key here. If you get too far ahead of yourself you will run into the obstacle you need to get around. The fire wall is a great example.
Next, you will get control of Murray the Brawn. This big guy is your muscle. Playing with him is quite fun as well- he swings hard. Go straight up the path and collect the coins in your way for another cutscene.
Mash O repeatedly when prompted to do so.
The mission is a success! Now, you will need to make a getaway. Steer your way around the obstacles and keep on the gas! This is reminiscent a bit of the motorcycle mini game in Final Fantasy 7, eh? Oh. Just me again.
The Paris Prologue will end in another spiffy cutscene. So far, so good!
Turning Japanese
Select Sly to play the Photo Op job.
Go up the path and climb up the vine to find the Clue Bottle.
Make your way across the tops of the huts.
Once you reach the thing that looks like a wheel/giant gear, you will hit a cutscene.
Jump off the gear and head to the bridge. Take the path to your right and climb up to the rooftops to snap a shot of the Dragons Gates.
Make your way back towards the bridge and you will be able to snap a recon photo of the Sushi House.
To get the jade peach, activate the timer by the pond and quickly make your way across the rooftops, past the rope, and towards the end of the path.
Make your way up to the highest vantage point of the rooftops to get the right angle to take a picture of the Geisha house.
Once El Jefe comes out, snap a photo of him for a cutscene.
Once you have control of Sly again, go to the rooftops to the North for another cutscene.
Use your map to locate the three samurai armour pieces. You will have to approach the fat things from behind and take the pieces without the, noticing.
Hop across the rooftops to the bridge and put on your costume. Kind of hard to move in that thing, huh? Enjoy the entertaining cutscene of Sly trying to get into the prison.
Use the map to locate Rioichi Cooper once inside the prison.
Take your armour off when you need to crawl under the small spaces, but make sure the guards aren’t watching or you will be caught. Immediately put it back on once you’ve stopped crawling.
In the last sequence you will have to quickly switch the armour off and on. You can’t jump in it, but you do need it to get through the fire. You also won’t have much luck dodging the pendulums with it, so get used to the timing of changing back and forth very quickly.
After the cutscene at the end of the prison path, you will have to use your costume to save Rioichi. Make sure you have it off when you jump and immediately put it back on when you land.
Once you get across all the platforms, you will be able to save Rioichi and complete the breakout.
After the next set of cutscenes, sneak into the sushi shop without being seen.
Once you have control of Rioichi, you will be able to get yourself to a much higher vantage point.
After the next cutscene, launch yourself through the green lasers. Wait until the guards are asleep to move past them.
Go past the sushi knife door and flip the switch to activate a whole bunch of steam.
Get the treasure back to the hideout before the timer at the bottom of your screen runs out.
Hop across the rooftops towards the X on your map to reach the hatch on the roof.
Sneak your way through the Geisha house and avoid the lasers, fire, and everything else that’s going to get in your way. Be patient when you reach the flames and take your time jumping from furnace to furnace.
Activate the “Something’s Fishy” mission and hack the security system using Bentley’s avatar.
Make your way to the CPU core and hide yourself behind the partitions to avoid the lasers and nano bot. Keep shooting the center of the eye to beat the CPU.
When you have control of Murray, go forward and lift up the gate. Continue along the path and hit the Giant Lamp Leaf.
Follow Bentley’s instructions to catch the fish. Put them in the carts around you and move on to the exit to complete Something’s Fishy.
Once you activate “Tiger Tail”, you will play Bentley and have him use his RC car. Your objective is to spy on El Jefe before the heist goes down.
Follow El Jefe once the timer starts and head straight up the path. Make sure not to fall into the water once you turn the corner.
In Spiked Sushi, move up the path as Rioichi and follow the map until you acquire the Poison Plant Seeds.
The final mission is Altitude Sickness. Pickpocket the key from the fatty samurai.
The big armour will come in handy once again as you will be able to use it to deflect fireballs on your way to El Jefe.
You will have some backup once you meet the boss’s goons on the bridge. Keep the spacing between your and your allies as big as possible.
After the next cutscene, Sly will challenge El Jefe on his own. Rioichi’s honor is at stake! Use the samurai armour to deflect El Jefe’s fireballs. Make sure you switch out of it right after- the armour really stunts your mobility.
The tiger’s attacks are predictable- once you deflect the fireballs back and stun him, get up close and land a few good hits. Beat him to complete Turning Japanese!
Go West Young Raccoon
In under arrest, make your way around the railroad tracks until you get Toothpick’s attention.
Use the marker on your map to locate Toothpick’s posters and deface them.
After the first cutscene in which Toothpick is clearly upset, make your way back around to his banner.
The next Bentley mission, Jailhouse blues, will require for you to get Bentley to the photo op.
After the next cutscene, go towards the prison tower. Your task will be to free Tennessee. Oh, and we upset Toothpick. Apparently word spreads quickly.
Once Cooper For Hire begins, follow Toothpick to the mine entrance. Use the barrels and crates strewn about for cover.
After the next cutscene, use the map marker to find the Saloon for another cutscene.
Afrer the Bentley mini game, take control of Sly and head over to the Casino.
Avoid the search light and climb your way around the wall to make your way over across the giant card cutouts.
Once you accept Blind Date, follow Toothpick to the canyon for a cutscene.
Shoot down the targets to lower the bridge for the stagecoach. After the next scene, you’re going to havge to put your sharpshooting to work and keep the path clear for the stagecoach.
Hm. Jailbreak looks promising. I don’t remember the last time a mission opened with a sexy cutscene in this game..
Head due north on your map to reach the dock. Once you reach it, turn around and go back to the raft. You will have to repeat this process one more time to complete the mission.
Clan of the Cave Raccoon
Finally, its time for a change of scenery. Once you have control of Bentley, proceed up the path until the first major cutscene. You will then be prompted to take photos of the village.
Once you have control of Sly, climb up to where the tight ropes hang and look up towards the sky. You will find the Sprocket in the air. Take a quick picture of it.
Watch yourself on the slippery ice. Head northwest from your current location to the Arena.
Once you activate the Unexpected Ties quest, sneak back into the arena for another cutscene. Le Paradox? Really? Kind of lame..
Head outside, across the bridge and towards the Arena gate for another cutscene.
Use your map marker to find the Sabertooth Costume. This will also enable you to acquire the Lair Door Key.
When Getting Stronger begins, talk to Murray for a cutscene and mini game that comprises the entirety of this mission.
Pummel the Dodo Birds in Going Up and climb the moutain in front of you after the cutscene.
Avoid the eggs by moving from side to side. If you look at where they are coming out of, you will see an extra burst of steam occur right before the egg shoots out. If you notice this telegraph you should have no issue with the timing.
Once you accept Starving Starving Hippo, run up to the penguin and press square to squeeze it.
Float down the stream on the chunk of ice and proceed up the snowy path towards the next map marker.
Run up to the pengun and press x to squeeze it again.
Of Mice and Mechs
Once you begin Shopping Spree, climb up to the highest vantage point available. This will enable you to eavesdrop on the guards without them noticing.
After the cutscene, head around the structure to enter the Tavern.
Examine the approaching gear to obtain the piece of Metal.
Move between the Docking Gates to hack the system.
Use your map marker to find the Wood material. It is near the door next to the flaming furnace.
Climb the rope, swing along the tractor, and climb through the air vent to reach the Leather material and complete Shopping Spree.
Make your way up the tower when Juggling Act begins. When you reach the top, switch to the Archer costume and shoot the targets. It may take you a few tries to get used to the timing of the cannonballs. Make it to the end of the path for a cutscene with Galleth.
In Cane Swipe, head up the path until you run into the Black Knight. There will be a cutscene after.
Use the map marker to locate the Cane Case and take a picture of it.
40 Thieves
Head across the poles sticking out of the water towards the giant lamp. Once inside lamp shop, scour the area for clues.
Locate the fingerprints and get a quick picture of the big green “strange” door.
Use your map marker to locate the cloth fiber and take a picture of it. Talk to Salim to complete the Lost and Found mission.
Locate the Flawless Gems in the mouths of the dog statue.
Bring the gems to the shop and you will acquire the costume you need to get under the gate.
Follow Miss Decibal through the next few cutscenes to complete Open Sesame.
Skip across the rocks when Rug Rats begins and crawl into the carpet shop.
Once the sequence with the timer is activated, sit back and enjoy what are possibly the coolest graphics in the game. The ending of this mission is a plot based cutscene.
Once you have control in Copy Cats, turn the gear and head straight up the cavern path. Once you reach the giant door, sneak under it to proceed.
Jump from the ledge that says “Watch Your Step” on it and proceed. Watch for the enemies here- their reach is about 5 times the length of their body. Keep your distance from the lizard type things with the incredibly long tongues.
The last mini game of this mission is fun and self explanatory. Destroy the fortress- just fire away at the targets. Make sure to shoot the cannonballs coming towards you- it’s very to get caught up in your offense. Make sure you’re protecting yourself first and foremost and take your openings when they’re available!
