Walkthrough:A Rocky Start

"A Rocky Start" was the first job in "Sunset Snake Eyes" of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.

Walkthrough
Once the van drops you off, approach the large gate up ahead. Before climbing, take note of Clues #1 and #2 on the ledge right by it. Latch onto the pipe to ascend to the top of the gate. At this point, a binocucom conversation between Sly and Bentley triggers. This is when you get the rundown on how to perform the Ninja Spire Jump on the diminutive lights dangling along the line ahead of you. Down below, however, you will encounter a pit bull, right beside clues #3 and #4. A clue bottle safe is located behind the gate, containing clues #5 and #6. Clue #7 is found on the ledge behind the door.

Make your way back up to the lights and continue Spire Jumping to get over the large rocky wall. You will be on a path where you encounter a bulldog right beside clues #8 and #9. Before pressing forward, take a look to your left, you will see a bunch of debris in the water here, which will lead you to find clues #10 – #13. This path reworks its way back to the original path. Bounce on the small mattress, ascend the pipe, and then grab onto the hook and swing over towards the watchdog and clobber him. Right here, you will encounter another pit bull that smashes through the wooden gate. Three clues lie behind the wrecked fence (#14 – #16). Hanging from the crane is a magnet you must grab onto.

You will then be introduced to floor lasers. They are safe to walk on while they are flashing, but it is also an indicator that they are about to switch sectors. Locate the signal repeater and the safe holding clues #17 and #18. Grab clue #19 sitting along the end of the telephone pole protruding over the water below. Sneak through the laser-filled subway car, smash the siren and take out the dalmatian. Two clues sit here, right by the car (#20 and #21). Jump up the rock formations and bounce on the mattress to reach another Spire Jump point. Ahead is another dalmatian guard. After clobbering him, you can find clues #22 and #23 right here. Clue #24 is located behind a yellow car and two piles of tires, underneath a large rock. When returning to the street, head for the ledge ahead, where you will find clues #25 – #27. Clue #28 lies near the two watchdogs.

Next up, you will have to carefully pass through a car crusher. Time your moves carefully to make it through safely. You will sometimes spot a Lucky Charm on the dangling car on the left. Another pitbull guard will bust through the fence ahead. Above a yellow car here is a rope that leads to the vault in this area, situated on a small piece of land. Back near the fence is a safe containing clues #29 and #30. Two more pit bull guards lie behind another fence before another set of crushers. Before passing through the crushers, locate three clues (#31 – #33) on the crane above. Following the second car crusher is a jailbird, who will attack with his ball and chain. You will also locate another signal repeater and clue #34. Clue #35 lies ahead, inside of the subway car with more floor lasers. You will then need to swing your way across the flooded section to reach the next subway car, which has both floor lasers and laser fences. Just after it is a pipe that you will ascend to reach the end of this area, where you will encounter a dalmatian guard next to the treasure key. You will also locate the last five clues here (#36 – #40).
