Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time platinum guide for PS Vita and PS3

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

PS Vita / PS3

Finish the episodes first to unlock characters and costumes. During the story, note jobs with masks or special objectives and pick guards’ pockets as you go. Cleanup is shorter if you separate bottles for safes, treasures for arcades and masks for their own collection trophy.

PS Vita and PS3 releases, with separate lists and the same 50 requirements. No trophy requires the AR finder or online play.

  • Trophy lists: 50 trophies on each version.
  • Replay: You can revisit episodes and replay jobs.
  • Masks: 60 in total, including jobs and arcades.

Open episodes and learn the costumes

Clear the main jobs and bosses. Costumes also open routes you could not reach earlier, so record special gates by episode and return with the right ability. Check the map during jobs as well as in hubs: Navigate Like Drake is not limited to the hub maps.

  • Do not stop an episode for a gate that needs a costume you have not unlocked yet.

Complete each area’s pickpockets

Approach guards from behind and empty sparkling pockets before attacking. Episodes and the prologue have their own items; record the three variants for each area instead of counting repeats. Revisit the prologue if the numbered episodes leave gaps, and save the coins for purchases in ThiefNet.

  • For Hassan, verify unique items rather than the total number of pickpockets.

Open safes and find masks and treasures

Gather the 30 bottles in each numbered episode to open its safe. Collect the treasures separately and deliver them to the hideout, then fill in the remaining masks. Check jobs and arcade stages in addition to hubs; there are 60 masks in total, and a tour of the hub alone cannot find them all.

  • Check collections by episode and include the prologue and epilogue in your mask count.

Unlock all six arcades and beat the scores

Finish the local treasure set to unlock that hideout’s arcade. The epilogue machine opens after all five main episodes’ treasures are collected. Make a practice run to learn its hacking mechanics, then aim past the high score. Leave time for any masks inside the stages, and check each score at the machine before moving on.

  • Unlocking an arcade and beating its score are separate steps.

Replay specific jobs and minigames

For cleanup, replay the jobs with special requirements: the no-damage El Jefe fight, Carmelita’s dance, the saloon drinks and the timed climb. Visit each hideout for Bentley’s 20-hit rally. Then purchase the last ThiefNet abilities with the coins earned while exploring.

  • List the remaining minigames and give each replay one clear goal.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the PS Vita AR finder?

No. Your characters can collect the masks and items directly without the finder.

Do PS3 and Vita have the same requirements?

Yes. The archived requirements match, but these are two native lists. Do not rely on automatic unlocks.

How do I unlock the final arcade?

Collect the treasures from all five main episodes, then check the epilogue hideout.
