The Claw
Sly: You ready to head out to the oil fields? Should be right through this cave.
Murray: Oh, yeah! Bentley said there'd be heavy machinery and destruction going down!
― At the start of the job[src]
"The Claw" is a job for Sly Cooper and Murray in "Rumble Down Under" of Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.
Background
Sly and Murray needed to obtain a sample of radioactive oil from a nearby oil field.
Synopsis
Sly and Murray approach the entrance of a cave leading to the oil fields. Murray expresses his eagerness for the job, as it involved heavy machinery and destruction. For clarification, Sly inquires if it is some radioactive oil they are going after, though Murray cannot quite remember, admitting to his inability to pay attention to Bentley's slideshows. Regardless, the two proceeded through the cave.
Once they arrive at the oil fields, Sly takes control of a SuperClaw 10,000 to use against any miners that show up. Once Sly has gotten used to the crane's controls, he and Murray are ready to begin the mission. Murray begins activating the pump to get the first three oil wells flowing. At the very moment, a seemingly endless horde of miners begins rushing towards their position, attempting to sabotage the power stations. It is up to Sly to protect their ground by using the claw to keep the dingoes away by any means necessary, whether it be dropping dynamite, tossing them at the electric fence, dropping rocks on their heads or dropping them in the pits.
After Murray gets the three oil wells in the first field flowing, Sly carries him over to the next field, where the same process has to be repeated. Once the next three wells were activated, Murray and Sly proceed to the third oil field, where this time, Sly has to help Murray light each oil well on fire. By dropping flint rocks on one end of a catapult, Murray will jump on the other end to fling each rock to the oil wells. With all six alight, the pressure differential begins drawing the deep uranium enriched oil to the surface. Murray approaches the wells to obtain an oil sample, while Bentley warns him that they will need to be extremely careful. However, Murray manages to get more than just a small sample, by getting himself covered in the glowing oil.
