Listen, Raleigh. Wipe out my family and steal what's mine, you better expect company.
― Sly to Raleigh[src]
"The Eye of the Storm" is the final job in "Tide of Terror" of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. It is the very first boss battle introduced in the Sly Cooper series, with Raleigh as the boss.
Synopsis[]
After Sly unlocks the cannon, he hops in and blasts his way up to the storm machine and confronts Raleigh, who claims he will squash Sly like a bug. With Sly determined to reclaim what is rightfully his, he engages in a fight with the sinister frog.
Raleigh taunting Sly
The battle began with Raleigh swallowing a bumblebee to bloat to gigantic size. He bounces around the arena in an attempt to squash Sly, but the raccoon dodges all of his attacks, landing a few blows on him. When Raleigh got down to his last bit of health, he spun around in a circle with his tongue outstretches, trying to knock Sly into the water, but the raccoon is able to overcomes the frog and land a final blow that sent Raleigh into the water. Before drowning, Raleigh mentioned that Sly will be no match for his Mesa City cohort Muggshot in Utah.
Raleigh Hung out to Dry[]
Sly reclaiming Raleigh's pages
After Raleigh's defeat, Sly reclaims his page from the Thievius Raccoonus, which provides details on how to perform the Ninja Spire Jump, a move perfected by Sly's ninja ancestor Rioichi Cooper, who developed the technique while sneaking through the thickly fortified temples of Feudal Japan.
Due to Carmelita's unexpected arrival, Sly has difficulty escaping Raleigh's ship. Though she is not able to bust Sly because of her late arrival, she busted Raleigh and his crew instead. With the storm machine out of commission, the waters are once again safe for sailing, and the mystery of the Welsh Triangle fades from memory. With the gang's success of taking down Raleigh, they decide to take some time off and enjoy the pleasant weather in England, where Sly took the opportunity to do some stealing in his spare time. They then returned home to plan their next trip.
