"A Perilous Ascent" is the first job in "Fire in the Sky" of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.

Walkthrough[]

After passing through the gate where a mandrill attacks, you will find to the right a safe with clues #1 and #2. Also in this area, you will find five more clues (#3 – #7), some near the middle tree, and some near some breakable objects. Two more guards await as you proceed up the hill.

Sly in high terrain

After you pass through the narrow path, you will find the first signal repeater, along with clue #8. Swing up to the higher path, where you will be attacked by an ape head-on. Past the ape is a wooden bridge, where you can collect clues #9 – #11. This bridge leads to a closed gate, with the second signal repeater behind it. It is possible to activate it from this side by simply approaching the gate up close. To make it to the other side, follow the snowy ledge while avoiding the falling icicles. Cross the second ledge to enter a wide-open area where two apes will attack you head-on. Past them are some small, blue fireworks you can trigger, as well as a large one that you must hit, in order to have it fly around and knock down a gate.

Proceeding further, you will reach the third checkpoint. By proceeding down the path, you will come across a raised drawbridge. You must ledge sneak around the building that has three gorilla guards occasionally shining their flashlights on it. By triggering the fireworks near the side entrance, you will take the guards down. Here, you will find clues #12 – #14, and when you hit the set of fireworks, you will open the hatch here and knock down the drawbridge. By hopping down the hatch, you will find the vault. Its combination is 5-7-8.

Sly unlocking the gate to the Panda King's lair

Pressing forward, you will find the entrance to the Panda King's lair. This area also marks the fourth checkpoint, and you will find clues #15 and #16 inside a safe. The treasure key lies at the far end of the large, forested compound of patrolling flashlight guards. This provides a perfect opportunity to practice Sly's Invisibility move. You will also find a bunch of clues within this area. Six clues are placed along the stone wall (#17 – #22). Clue #23 lies at the corner of the building with the locked door. Seven clues are scattered among the small trees (#24 – #30). A fifth signal repeater lies right where you will find the treasure key.
