Walkthrough:Bear Cub Kidnapping
"Bear Cub Kidnapping" was a job for Murray in "He Who Tames the Iron Horse" of Sly 2: Band of Thieves. The goal was to use a bear to break apart the strong fence protecting the handcar they needed to use to complete the heist.
Walkthrough
The job beacon is located on an elevated platform that comes off the route of iron horse 1. Simply follow the tracks uphill, when it is clear, to reach it.
- Cub #1: Once you are clear on the objective, head down to the side of the cabin and pick up the first bear cub. Run him down to the handcar and throw him inside the container. Do the same for the second one, which is inside the bear cave.
- Cub #2: You must use extra caution with this cub. When you take the cave exit on your right, there is a chance you will alert, or worse, be spotted by the bear outside the cave if it is not too far away. If this happens, you can drop the cub and kill the adult bear quickly, as Murray is capable of doing so without being harmed, but be warned that this can attract the bear inside the cave as well. Another option (which may be safer) is to run from it, as you can lose it by jumping off any nearby cliffs or ledges, as that is something the bears are unable to do.
Carrying the cubs around will alert any nearby guards as well, and they are bound to get in your way. As with most things Murray carries, you can use the cubs as a projectile against your foes. While the guards will not attack the cubs,[note 1] be mindful that the cubs can still take damage from being thrown.
Once you throw the second cub into the fence with the other, the two cubs will begin fighting as expected, and the mother bear will arrive to free them, breaking apart the cage in the process.
