Getting to the start point of this assignment is quite the challenge. Sly has to get back into the prison, climb the wall to the lookout towers, then spire jump across the wires to the main watch tower. Bentley tells Sly that they have to knock-out the power to the GIANT ROBOT SPIDER? Sly thinks it's just a water tower. Bentley insists its really a robot. The generator is powered by a series of lightning rods located across town. Sly's job is to disable the lightning rods.

The 1st lightning rod transformer is right above where you're standing. LISTEN FOR THE THUNDER. Should a lightning bolt hit the tower you're working on, the platfrom will glow red. Jump out of the way before it pops in a shower of sparks. Each lightning rod has three wheels to turn. Each wheel will change the polarity of the transformer. Turning all 3 wheels will disable the transformer making it useless. Lightning will not strike this tower again. Look for the lightning strikes in the sky, to find your next tower.

The 2nd & 3rd lightning rod transformers are on towers along the top of the prison wall. Look for overhead guide wires with blue sparkle lights to walk across, to get to the tower roofs. At each one, turn the 3 wheels to disable the transformer. BE CAREFUL FOR LIGHTNING STRIKES. If you see the roof start to glow red, JUMP AWAY QUICKLY. The more rods you disable, the more the lightning will travel to the lightning rods that are still open. The lightning won't stop or slow down.

The 4th lightning rod transformer is on a building rooftop in town. Work your way down from the prison to the lower part of town. Use one of the spider web bounce pads to get up top. Tap your cane [L1] and use the voltage attack (hopefully you have it) to take down any nearby guards roaming around the roof. You don't want to be distracted while tending to the lightning rod. Be mindful that lightning strikes will come faster and more often to this location. Turn the 3 wheels.

The 5th and last lightning rod transformer is on a tower above the train tracks. Walk across town to the train tracks. Climb one of the buildings and jump across to the overhead power wire for the train. The last transformer will be struck by lightning every 5-10 seconds because it's the last one still operating. Be prepared! Turn each wheel quickly. If you hear thunder, jump back to the guide wire before you get seriously electrocuted. JOB COMPLETE [Movie sequence begins].

The so-called water tower, sputters to life and OHOH, IT REALLY IS A GIANT ROBOT SPIDER! It's eyes open for just a second, then the power surge from the lightning rods, short circuits and the robot collapses and goes silent. Bentley says confidentally "I told you so". Sly comments that he'll never doubt Bentley again?
