How to Avoid Being Killed By Guards in Sly 2

Always getting killed by guards in Sly 2? Read on to learn to avoid that as all playable characters.

Steps

1. If playing as Sly,take advantage of his stealth skills. As often as possible, use Sly's Rail Walk/Slide and Ninja Spire Jump/Landing. Stick to the rooftops, where you'll be less likely to get caught.
2. If playing as Bently, be very careful. Very, very careful. Bently's strongest attacks, at first, are his sleep darts and bombs. If caught by guard(s)do not try to fight them, unless you've got an upgrade to help. Bently swinging his crossbow is not very strong.
3. If playing as Murray, be cautious, but don't worry about guards all the time. Murray is extremely strong, so he will be able to fight most guards head-on. Just remember: His health bar isn't a bottomless pit.

Tips

• If on a roof as anybody and caught by a guard, try a quick-kill. Lure them to the edge of the rooftop and shove them off with a standard hit. When high up enough, the thug will die.
• Use Sly's sneak-attack and buy the "Silent Obliteration" powerup as soon as possible. This can save you. Silent Obliteration is useful in areas with many guards.

Warnings

• Don't be on the rooftops all the time. Not only are there guards, but if you don't spend some time on the ground you'll miss a lot of the clue bottles.

 

5 Tips for Job Hunting on the Sly

Whatever you do, don't duck out on your full-time gig under the random guise of "I'll be back." Do that too many times and you'll be terminated. Why? Because it makes you look suspect! Everyone can tell when people are wearing their interview clothes, especially if you've been dressing casual or even crazy (let's hope not) on the job. Here's what you can do to interview while in a full-time job.

(1) Dress Better. Start dressing better, starting tomorrow. Not sure if you're a male or female, but a nice watch, higher end shoes, a great haircut and better (casual) attire can go a long way. If you have an interview, wear a shirt and slacks in the office, but bring the jacket with you. Then you can slip on the jacket and your pumps before leaving for the interview.
 
(2) Set Appointments Before Work, After Work, or During Lunch. if you're being watched like a hawk, schedule an interview before you have to go into the office, or schedule it for after hours. If the interview is less than 15 minutes away, try to have a 30-minute conversation (more than enough time to sell your skills), then hustle back to work.

(3) Take a Personal Day or Vacation. Save these days for the really important interviews. If you're in the second or third round of interviews and you know you have to speak with multiple people, then it's worth it. Otherwise, see the advice in No. 5…
 
(4) Shut Your Mouth. Don't run around the office telling everyone you're looking for a job or that you’re unhappy. That gives co-workers and bosses cause to start looking at what you are doing. In this instance, discretion is key.

(5) Manage Your Time. Before saying yes to an interview, explain that you don't have a lot of time during work hours — so can you meet for a coffee or lunch? This is done a lot more often than you think — but despite the "casualness" of the environment, remember it's still an interview.

Good luck!
