Sly 2: Band of Thieves (HD)

Sly 2: Band of Thieves HD platinum guide on PS3 and Vita

Sly 2: Band of Thieves (HD)

PS Vita / PS3

This HD set rewards the story and specific purchases, not every vault. Build your wallet to 1,500 coins and finish one complete episode bottle set first. Once the coin trophies are recorded, buy the required moves at the hideouts.

36 trophies from The Sly Collection on PS3 and PS Vita. The PS4/PS5 release has different vault conditions.

  • Bottles: One 30-bottle set covers the HD trophies.
  • Wallet: Hold 1,500 coins at once.
  • Trophy lists: 36 offline trophies in each native list.

Start with The Black Chateau bottles

Use rooftops and ledges in the first episode to explore without stopping the story. Listen for the bottles when only a few remain, and search above street level. Finish the local set of 30 to cover the 15 and 20 thresholds too. You do not need to give every later episode the same treatment.

  • Check the three bottle trophies before leaving the first area.

Reach the wallet threshold before spending

Pickpocket guards with sparkling pockets and sell the loot on your next hideout visit. If you finish the coin grind later, the Canadian areas offer more valuable loot. The 1,500 requirement checks your current balance, so delay expensive purchases while you build that total.

  • Once Loot! unlocks, switch from earning to the purchases on the list.

Check every required ThiefNet move

Open ThiefNet at the hideout after the story unlocks its catalogue. Compare it with your trophy list: required purchases include Paraglider, Hover Pack, Alarm Clock, Trigger Bomb and Silent Obliteration. Some appear only in later chapters. Buy items listed for trophies, then mark each purchase as complete.

  • If an item is not yet available, advance the story and check again after the episode.

Complete the gang’s jobs

Continue through Sly, Bentley and Murray’s jobs. The dance, Contessa pickpockets and keys in Canada are linked to jobs. During gang operations, finish the current character’s objective before chasing money. Check the list between episodes so you can tell an unfinished story job from a purchase you have not made.

  • Finish the eight episodes’ operations and reach the final fight.

Finish Clock-La and clean up

Reach the Clock-La fight and continue Murray’s sequence until the beak opens. Check Bird Dentist as well as Tick-Tock. Return to the hideouts for remaining moves and pickpocket a few more guards if you need cash. The modern vault trophies do not add requirements to this HD platinum.

  • Verify that each purchased move awarded its corresponding trophy.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need every vault?

Not on the HD list. One complete 30-bottle set earns the bottle trophies; the modern list has the episode vault requirements.

Are the 1,500 coins cumulative?

No. Hold them together in your wallet, so defer the expensive purchases.

Is ThiefNet an online service?

No. It is the in-game shop at the hideout and does not require online play.
