| NOTE |
| Before you start this mission, make sure you buy Sly's Paraglider from ThiefNet, as it is needed for this mission. |
When the mission starts, you'll be controlling Sly, so just go to the marker on the map and head inside the mountain base. Once inside, you'll be in control of Bentley. Jump and hover over the first gap when the lava bubbles are about to explode. If you have Sleep Ammo bought from ThiefNet, use it on the big guard to bypass him.
Switch back to explosive ones, then toss and destroy the objects ahead, jumping onto the platforms; these will shoot up into the air. Do the same with the next one and then jump onto the spinning fan-like objects when you are in the air. Jump into the egg carrier and be transported up to an area with two bird guards, as well as a mammoth one. You can either put them to sleep, or try and defeat them all.
The egg vat is up ahead, and you need to use your explosive darts to hit the four blades spinning around it. Head across the bridge and the next one, taking out the guard in the way, then access the computer to initiate the Sixaxis hacking mini-game. It's not a very long one, so it shouldn't give you any trouble.
After the hack is complete, you'll need to make your way across some hammer-like platforms, which drop down in two alternating sets. Once you get across, jump down to the platform below and then use your darts to hit the 5 blades on the next egg vat. There is one thing that gets in your way, but it's pretty easy to bypass it.
PERILOUS CLIMB
It's now time for Bob Cooper to start his climb. There is fire spewing out every few seconds from certain spots, then you will have to jump across the wooden spikes. Also, when you see mushrooms in the way, use Square to bash the area and destroy them. When you get to the part where fire keeps coming out, you need to go to the valve, press Circle to grab it and continually rotate the right analog stick to remove it. The only thing worth noting is that there's a Secret Sly Mask all the way at the bottom, past the second valve you need to remove.
Once you remove all three valves, you'll have to stop a guard from activating the control panel, which was Murray's job, but it's now Sly's job. Equip your Sabretooth costume and use the R2 jump to get past the first two gaps, then pull the switch. You need to jump and hook on to the spots where there isn't a nest with an egg, which will get you across.
For this next part, you'll need to use Sly's Paraglider to get from air current to air current. There are some balls of fire on chains swinging back and forth in between some of the air currents. Once you make it past the second swinging ball of fire, there's a small platform that has a Secret Sly Mask. Make it to the end, sneak up behind the guard and then do the Triangle/Square combo to remove the threat.
BOSS: THE GRIZZ
While it was originally supposed to be Sly fighting Grizz, it's now Murray and the fight takes place on an ice skating rink. There are three phases to this battle. Grizz has a few attacks to look out for, one of which involves him spinning around and sending out a shockwave, which will freeze you if it hits. Note you cannot damage him at all until later on, so don't even try. Sometimes he will spin longer and send out three shockwaves close together.
Grizz can also charge at you, which is usually precluded by him saying, "Here comes the Grizz." He can also slide along the ground, which you can easily avoid by jumping over him. Eventually, he'll go into the center of the arena and bring down a wall of stone, with some ice blocks sticking out. He will send out shockwaves while inside and you need to punch the ice until it goes flying at Grizz.
Once all three have been sent, the next part starts. You will be in a rhythm mini-game, where you need to mimic the button presses of the Grizz. Note that eventually, the buttons will be replaced with question marks. You need to do this three times before Murray throws Grizz and stuns him, allowing you to punch him to drain his health.
The second phase is pretty similar to the first, with the same moves, as well as two new attacks. Sometimes he'll spin and release a bunch of ice blocks, and sometimes he'll pound the ground and make iciciles fall from above. Keep doing this until you forms the wall with ice. There will be three sets of two blocks close together, and he'll switch between shockwaves and icicles dropping from the ceiling. Knock them all at him, then the rhythm section will start, with a lot of the buttons being question marks.
The third phase is the exact same as the second, except his attacks will be slightly faster in execution. When you get to the stone wall part, there will be three sets of three ice blocks close together. Hit them all back to start the last rhythm section, where all the buttons will be question marks when it's your turn. Get them all and punch Grizz to finish him off for good.
