Secret Sly Mask

Sly Masks are collectibles in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. There are 60 hidden throughout the entire game, unlike the static 30 clue bottles per episode. The player will have no indication of where the masks are, except for visually spotting them or utilizing the PlayStation Vita's augmented reality server. They can be found in jobs, around the hub worlds or within arcade machines.

Pressing select in an episode and then pressing d pad right will show the player how many masks have been collected in the current episode out of a total. Doing this in a job will not display masks restricted to that job. Each numbered episode contains 11 masks, while the prologue and epilogue together contain 5 masks. At certain increments of collected masks, special unlockables are rewarded that can be toggled on or off; they are cosmetic changes and for the most part do not affect gameplay, with the exceptions of Ratchet's Wrench and Cole's Amp, which provide minor gameplay benefits.

Below is a list of mask locations. Each section pertains to one episode and mentions whether a mask is found in the hub world, a specific job (the location where the job takes place is also mentioned, in parenthesis), or that episode's arcade machine.
