Introduction
It‘s been eight years since Sly has been out and we welcome him back. This time Sly and his gang come bearing trophies and a platinum. This game will only take one playthrough, making the platinum that much more rewarding. Most of the trophies will come from opening the vaults, while others will come from defeating bosses. Opening the vaults will help you learn new techniques. There are no difficulty levels or trophies, making the platinum a one shot deal. Sly’s parents were Murdered by the Fiendish five so Sly ended up going to an orphanage where he met his close friends Bentley and Murray. Sly is searching for the missing parts for his family's book (Thievius Racoonus) and nothing will stop him for getting the missing pages and restoring the book. While most pages will come from opening the vaults, the rest will come from defeating bosses. Sly runs on lives alone with no health bar so getting hit once can lead to death, so watch how you make the jumps and press each button.


Step One
This is where the battle begins. First bring up this Bottle Locations Guide with your internet capable device. Following that link during your first playthrough will net you all the clue bottles. Please be advised that some vaults are in the beginning of the level, so you have to track back down to the beginning or just start the level over after finding all the clue bottles. The other trophies are story related and will come during your quest for the Thievius Racoonus, so there is no need to worry about how to obtain them. I have included a way to defeat each boss and the buttons you will be pressing during their battles. If you need video assistance to find the clue bottles here is a link to MyGamecube2's YouTube page. The items he finds in the video will not be the same ones you find in your game.


Note: Some of the trophies will pop up in a different location if you are going for the clue bottles and vaults before beating the game. If you have found a technique in the later chapter than the one described, the one that should have for example been in chapter 4 will be in the chapter 3. One Vault cannot be opened until you beat clockwork, so you will need to go back and then open it. I have underlined the level in each chapter that you will earn each non story related trophy, whether it be a technique or a blueprint. You will find a blueprint in the third level you play in each chapter.

Step Two
There shouldn’t be a step two, but if you missed a few bottles and trophies, you can go back to each Map to collect anything you may have missed via the hideout. Happy hunting.

This is a Frog battle on his turf which is extremely easy. First off he only bounces up and down for his first 3 hits he takes. The first time before you hit him he will jump up and down five times before he deflates and you can hit him with the cane. The second time there is only one platform, the other platforms go into the water. You have to make sure you don't get hit at all until he deflates again. He only jumps fives time before you can hit him again. The third time when he bounces and leaves a platform, that same platform falls into the water and you have limited time to get to the next platform. He jumps from platform to platform trying to hit you six to nine times before he deflates and you can hit him. The last and final time there is only one platform. He sticks his tongue out and swings it in a circle so you have to jump over his tongue, so you don't get damaged or die. He goes in a circle about 5-6 times before you can hit him. Here is a video on the fight with Sir Raleigh the frog. Skip to 1:30. Credit to MyGameCube2 for making the video.

Giving The Dog A Bone
Defeat Muggshot
Story related. Cannot be missed. In order to fight Muggshot, you need to find all seven keys. Then go up to the mouth of Muggshot's tower to learn how to use those keys.

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Use the glass diamonds as cover to not get shot by Muggshot. During this fight with Muggshot you have to flip Mirrors. The first floor is pretty easy, just follow it clockwise until all 8 mirrors are flipped and shinning on the glass in front of it. The Second floor is full of gaps but the floor still has 8 mirrors you need to flip. Take it the same way, clockwise and jump over gaps, while dodging shots from Muggshot. The last one is a small circle where you have to jump and land on points and then flip the mirror. This can be a little tricky, but still manageable. Wait until Muggshot takes a few shots at the mirror and as soon as he stops flip it and proceed to the next one until they are all flipped. Muggshot is in the middle on a platform. Its all about patience. It starts at about 2:00.

Panda King has 4 different moves Fiery Wheel This is his second most used attack. He will use this when you are close to him. You can jump and attack him once he starts to swing his hands below your feet and his hands have fire coming out of them. Flame FU This is the attack he uses the most. He will shoot a set of fireballs at you until you are close enough for him to use melee attacks instead. Refer to the move above that he will use often for a melee attack. Palms of thunder He slams his hands to the Ground. Homing Chop Uses one hand and hits the Ground. Once you have done enough damage he will bounce you back to the bottom of the steps where you will have to dodge Flame FU (Fireballs). You will now have to climb back up to Panda King.

Just your average fight once you get close to him, swing your cane at him and watch for the above attacks so you don't get hurt. Here is a video.

mm I like it good start, for sure it needs more updates. Good work man build on it. =)

[LeeorV]

also, try to design it so that you CAN get it all in one playthrough, and be as spoiler-free as you can about it (level names and character names are ok, boss names can go either way, depending on the name/boss. plot points are definite spoilers)

don't assume that it would take 2, make it so that it doesn't!

[GODCHILD1020]

I just threw the roadmap up there it only takes one. Dont worry, Im going to make this an easy one playthrough platinum. Spoiler tags are there for battle for the bosses.

[DeepEyes]

Great work GODCHILD! I like your RDR DLC's guides and you get this one very fast! Thx a lot!

[dmmx32]

Im getting this game tomorrow, guide looks good.
