User:Cardsknower/The Black Chateau/Bug Dimitri's Office

Bug Dimitri's Office is a job for Sly in The Black Chateau of Sly 2: Band of Thieves. This level features the first Special Loot, the Gold Painting.

Written Synopsis
Upon reaching the mission marker, Bentley will tell Sly he has managed to outfit a nearby forged painting with a bug and that he will need Sly to sneak it into Dimitri's office and swap it with the original. Sly states that's nice and then questions Bentley on the bug allowing the group to listen in on Dimitri's conversations. Bentley confirms so and states that he thought that things might go more smoothly with an ear on the inside. Bentley will then warn Sly to be careful with the fine art because if he takes any damage, then the painting will be ruined.

After the conversation, Sly will automatically pick up the fake painting. You must now sneak the painting into the building through a window which can be reached by climbing up a drain pipe. Be careful when going past guards on your way because you must keep the painting safe. If you get a guard's attention, run away from the guards quickly before they attack you. If Sly gets attacked, he will drop the painting and you will fail the mission.

Once inside approach further through the nightclub. Bentley will tell you that the door to the room containing the painting is locked from the inside according to the schematic. Sly notes that's all right as he never liked the direct approach however Bentley says the indirect approach is up in an air vent. Sneak past the Janitors, who will attack you if they spot you. Remember to be careful on fighting them as you must still keep the painting safe. Make your way over to the red lasers. Avoid the lasers by jumping onto the piano and climbing up a golden spiral pipe onto a red ledge, and sneak across the wall to the next ledge. From here, run across the rope that leads to the opposite wall and crawl under the waterfall. You can then smash open the vent and crawl through.

After crawling through the vent, you will land in Dimitri's office. The safe with the Knockout Dive gadget is in the office vault. Go to the Gold Painting and swap it with the bugged copy. Bentley will tell Sly that he did a nice job as the bug is in position. He will then tell Sly that if he can get the original painting back to him in one piece, then he will be able to sell the original painting through his internet connections and make the gang a ton of coins. After that scene, the job is completed.

Sly must now get out of the nightclub, so go through the door. It is not necessary on getting the original painting back to Bentley in one piece, but you will be able to get a lot of coins from it through ThiefNet if you do manage to get back to the Safe House with it.
