Master the Mz. Ruby boss battle in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time with this phase-by-phase strategy, focusing on rhythm and button sequences.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Phase 1: Start in the giant skull chamber. Hop on the molars and wait for the pointier teeth to meet. As soon as they do, perform a Ninja Spire jump (a special jump move) onto one of the teeth, then immediately hop back onto a molar for safety. When you reach the end of the teeth path, jump over the shockwave (an area-of-effect attack) and smack Mz. Ruby with your cane.
  2. 2
    Voodoo Dance: Mz. Ruby will perform one of four moves, indicated by pictures of the controller buttons on the right side of your HUD (Heads-Up Display, showing game information). The background music will play as she performs her move and repeats it when it's your turn. Listen carefully to the music to know the correct sequence. After each round of button presses, you must jump over her shockwave and hit her.

    • Tips
    • Pay close attention to the music cues during the Voodoo dance portions; they are essential for timing your button presses correctly.
    • Ensure your audio is turned up so you can clearly hear the musical patterns.
    • After each successful sequence and subsequent hit on Mz. Ruby, be prepared to immediately dodge her shockwave.
