Sly Cooper 2 Band of Thieves


The Black Chateau
Theater Pickpocketing

Theater Pickpocketing 1 On this assigment, Sly has to place a splice into the security system for the nightclub, so Bentley can disable it. To do this, Sly has to pickpocket 6 fan keys, one key from each of the patrolling guards. These 6 keys will unlock a fan control panel that Sly can then access, to turn off the overhead ceiling fans. Once the fans are stopped, Sly can jump across to the fans, then shimy up to the chandelier where the security system access terminal is located. The trick is getting the keys?

Theater Pickpocketing 2 Sly enters the nightclub on the second floor balcony area. Up ahead, a guard is patrolling with a searchlight. There are places to hide. Look for the blue sparkle lights around the edges of tables. Sly can sneak under the tables and hide from the guard's searchlight. Once Sly can determine the walking routine of the guard, Sly can sneak up behind him and pickpocket a fan key. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SNEAK UP SLOWLY. You don't want the guard to smell you?

Theater Pickpocketing 3 Once you've stolen a key from a guard, it's up to you whether you want to take out the guard or LET HIM BE? He won't necessarily cause Sly any more problems. If you decide to take them down, use the power upper hook [triangle] in combination with the power slam [square]. It's the only way you'll do this quickly without alarming the other guards. Again, THIS IS A CHOICE! You do run the risk of making excessive noise and alerting another nearby guard, which could be a problem.

Theater Pickpocketing 4 Spire jump across one of the overhead wires and look below. There are 2 guards patrolling the main lounge area. They walk in tandem, fairly close behind each other. Jump down to the lower level and sneak up behind the back guard FIRST. Pickpocket his fan key, then hide behind the curtain. Wait for the guards to circle around again, then run out behind the first guard. Pickpocket his key then quickly run back behind the curtain, before the 2nd guard's searchlight detects you.

Theater Pickpocketing 5 In the back stage area, there are 3 guards. 2 guards are patrolling the dressing room area and 1 guard is up top on the catwalks. Run up the stairs along the back wall to the catwalk. Up top, look for the pipe with the blue sparkle lights. Spire jump to the pipe and sneak across to the other side. A guard is standing on the far catwalk STARING AT A TV (he doesn't move). Sneak up behind him and take his key. I wouldn't kill him at this point. He's no threat and won't move.

Theater Pickpocketing 6 Jump down to the lower level by the dressing room. Hide behind a wardrobe rack and watch the walking pattern of both guards. One guard will patrol the lower area and one guard patrols the stairs. Take care of the guard in the lower area FIRST. Sneak around the wardrobe racks on the right and slip past the guard. Go to the end of the room to the back wall. Wait for the guard to come to the end and then pickpocket his key as he turns around. KILL THIS GUARD using the power hook and slam. The other guard won't be alerted.

Theater Pickpocketing 7 Sneak past the wardrobe racks and wait for the last guard to come all the way down the stairs. As he turns around to go back up the stairs, sneak behind him and take his key. It's alot easier to pickpocket him on level ground, then trying to pickpocket while he's walking up or down the stairs. Once you have all 6 fan keys, run back through the dressing room to the curtains. Go back out to the main lounge and find a decorative pipe to climb. Jump to the left along the awnings.

STRATEGY: You may choose to kill the guard patrolling the stairs and then just run up the stairs leading to the fan control panel. I chose not to, because it was difficult to get close enough, without him being alerted (which would cause a big fight).

Theater Pickpocketing 8 Find the overhead wire leading to the hallway with the fan control panel. Spire jump to that wire and walk to the control panel. Use the 6 keys to unlock the panel and stop the fans. Bentley breaks-in and tells Sly he now has access to the terminal and can put the splice in for him. Run back out the hallway back to the awnings. Jump to an overhead fan blade. Shimy up the fan support cable. Jump to the next fan suport cable and shimy up to the very top of that cable.

Theater Pickpocketing 9 From the top of the cable, jump to the rim of the chandelier. Walk up to the terminal and install the splice. Bentley takes over control of the security system and knocks out all the lights and control boxes. All security is now disabled. Jump down from the chandelier and make your way out of the nightclub. Run back out the door to the balcony, and back along the rooftops to the HIDEOUT. JOB COMPLETE!
