I was inspired to write this short FAQ since I found out that this game didn't have one. Since I haven't written a Boss FAQ yet, I figured that there should be one for this game. Before I get into the FAQ, I wanted to let you know one very important thing. The strategies listed below are not the only ways to defeat the bosses listed. These are helpful tips on how to destroy the bosses in this game. If you have a strategy that you think is better than the one provided in the FAQ, please send me an email. Alright, let's move on with the FAQ. ================================================================================ II.Boss Strategies ================================================================================ Here is the meat of the FAQ. This section will list information on how to beat all six bosses in this game. Some of the bosses are rather tricky and will give you trouble; however, most of them are cake. Here are the strategies that I find are the best way to beat these bosses. ================================================================================ A.Dimitri ================================================================================ The very first boss you'll have to fight in this game is Dimitri. You have broken into his nightclub and ruined his money printing operation. He is not a happy camper. Time to fight this ruffian. To begin the fight, Dimitri will basically follow you around and try and aim a few cheap punches at you. You must whack him with your cane as much as possible to lower his health bar. Whenever you see him charge up a punch, try and back away from him, so he doesn't end up sucker punching you. Keep whacking him with your cane and dealing damage. Once you get him down to about half damage, Dimitri will warp to the other end of the room and summon magic attacks from his ring. In order to avoid these, hide behind the conveniently placed barrels until the ring malfunctions and stops shooting at you. Run from your hiding place and give him a few good whacks with your cane and dodge his sucker punches. Dimitri will repeat the ring attack a few more times. You just have to keep dodging his punches and ring attacks. Once you deplete his health to zero, a cutscene will initiate where Sly whacks him into a barrel and traps him. Congradulations, you beat Dimitri. Grab the Clockwerk Tail Feathers and leave Paris for good. TIP: Are you running low on health in the Dimitri fight? Well, try breaking the surrounding barrels on the battlefield. A few of them supply life increments that can make all the difference. ================================================================================ B.Lord Rajahn ================================================================================ Well, Sly has been incapacitated, so you'll have to fight this battle with good old Murray. Rajahn isn't too happen that you made a full of him at his party and destroyed his spice operation, so he's gonna fight you to the death. Time to brawl man to tiger. Rajahn is very powerful and will lunge at you periodically. He will try and whack you with his staff that contains the other half of Clockwerk's Heart. To beat Rajahn, you'll have to throw a couple of powerful punches at him. Keep aiming punches, and you have dodge when he goes to lunge. I suggest jumping into the air and landing near him to get in another good punch. Once he is down to about half HP, you'll hear him say "Defend your lord". Now, a bunch of his goons will come in and try to attack you. They have health packs for you, so you may want to defeat them. If you have Murray's Fists of Flame, you can light your hands on fire and kill the enemies in one hit. If not, you can wait until Rajahn unleashes his powerful lightning attack and zaps whatever is in the water. At this point, you will want to jump onto a lilypad. You will now have to commence with your punching match with Rajahn. He will still lunge at you with the staff, but you also have to contend with his lightning attack as well. This fight includes a lot of jumping and dodging. It may take a couple of tries, but you will eventually come out on top as the dominate ruler of the jungle. You have shown Rajahn who is boss. Now, you have to break your friends out of jail. ================================================================================ C.Contessa ================================================================================ The Contessa is a prison warden who is a secret member of the Klaaw Gang. Once you break your friends out of jail, track her down, and save Carmelita, she will challenge you to a fight for the Clockwerk Eyes. Contessa is really easy. She has three attacks total. During the battle, Contessa will periodicaly slash at you with her sharp claws. Just side-step her as she lunges at you. While you are dodging her, you can get in some good whacks with your cane. Another annoying attack that she does is send out little exploding spiders that follow you until they explode. Get rid of them as quicly as possible because they contain life packs. Her third and final attack is the use of the Clockwerk Eyes. She will use them to hypnotize Sly and confuse his movements. In order to avoid this from happening, stay out of the gaze of the Clockwerk Eyes. A red beam of light will come out, so you know to avoid that when that happens. So, you just keep swinging that cane at her, dodging her hypnotic gaze and swings, and killing those exploding spiders. Once you beat her, she's done for good. Contessa is now behind bars. NOTE: YOu will fight Contessa twice. The above strategy is a combination of the two battles since she pretty much uses the same moves. You will also have to fight Neyla in episode 6. I didn't include this because it's pretty straight forward and not really counted as a boss. ================================================================================ D.John Bison ================================================================================ John Bison is not happy. You have looted his three iron horse trains and stole the Clockwerk parts. Also, you cheated in the games. He's gonna kill you for that. Let's show him that brain is better than brawn. You'll be using Bently for this fight as my little metaphore mentioned above. You won't be doing physical damage to John Bison, but you still get to defeat him in a demeaning way. So, you have to use the saw mill controls to defeat him. You will press three buttons; Square, Triangle, and Circle. Square activates the fire, Triangle activates the saws, and Circle rolls the logs. In order to beat John Bison, you have to get him on one of the traps. Once he is on a trap, press the coordinating button to have Sly activate the traps for you. This is all you have to do for the entire battle. Eventually, he will send out his little minions to help you, which will give life packs when needed. Once you get John Bison to the halfway point, he will start throwing sticks of dymnamite at you. This is easily dodged as they take a few seconds to explode. Just keep giving those commands to Sly as he passes over the traps. Once you defeat him, you'll hear that Arpegio's blimp has arrived. This will trigger the final episode. ================================================================================ E.Clock-La ================================================================================ Neyla has betrayed Arpegio and combined herself with the hated Clockwerk. She is now known as Clock-La. It is time to get rid of Clockwerk once and for all. He killed your family and put you in an orphanage. I think erasing him from history is good pennance for his naughty actions. Clock-La is a major pain in the ass with her attacks. She relies on missles and energy blasts to silence you. At the beginning of the fight, her weapon of choice is yellow missles. In order to defeat her, you have to shoot at her from Carmelita's plane. Once you get her lowered in health, she'll start firing red missles which are more deadly than the yellow ones. You have to keep shooting at her and dodging those missles. Once you get her down to halfway, she'll start firing energy blasts at you that do a ton of damage. You'll know when to avoid these because the eyes give it away. When you see them start pulsing, you'll know an energy ring is coming at you. Eventually, you'll get her down so low that she'll take down your plane and pick up Bently and Murray. It's time for you to do a little blimp jumping. In order to finish Clock-La for good, you must jump from blimp to blimp and attempt to grab onto her. Once you are on Clock-La, whack that head with your cane and avoid the energy blasts that she is shooting at you. Keep repeating the head whacking until her bar falls to zero. She will fall from the sky dead. Congradulations, you beat Sly 2: Band of Thieves. Enjoy the ending and satisfaction of silencing your archenemy for all eternity. ================================================================================ III.Contact Information ================================================================================ If you have a question, comment, concern, or information you think needs to be included in this FAQ, please email me at anthony_murano@yahoo.com.
