Walkthrough[]
Starting the mission places Sly inside the Lair of the Bear. Make your way across the boiling tar pit; avoid the bubbles as you go. Once across, dispatch the dodo and hit the mushrooms until they stop producing coins. Use the crawlspace to advance to the next area.
Alerting the guards in any way will automatically fail the mission. Use Sly's sneak attack to get rid of them, or bypass them entirely by using the ropes above to navigate across the bridge. Destroy any breakables and walk up the large tree to the left of the doors. At the top, use the icicles to move across, but be careful -- they are extremely slippery! When you land on solid ground a cutscene will begin.
Now the objective is to nab the Sabertooth Tiger costume. Use the rings to swing across the bridge from above. Listen to Bentley’s audio cues and use the geyser to the left to paraglide across the gap. Climb up the narrow icicle and hook the rope to slide down to the next part of the area. Pickpocket the key from the Grizz and use it to open the door. Grab the Sabertooth Costume and use the Cyclone Pounce to cross the lava.
On the other side, follow Bentley's advice and use the Cyclone Pounce on the hostiles mulling about. Continue through the area, using the appropriate means to navigate the obstacles. At the end of the path, you will have to time your pounce carefully to avoid the bubbles while reaching -- and flattening -- the bird across the way.
Move forward through the area and watch a quick cutscene. Follow Bentley's advice and dispatch the enemies here by use of the Cyclone Pounce. With all of the guards gone, Sly can have an enlightening chat with the first Cooper ancestor, Bob Cooper.
