Learn the strategy to defeat Clockwerk in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Dodge his attacks and hit his weak spots to win!

Alright, it's time for the big one – the boss fight! You can't damage Clockwerk directly, but don't worry, Carmelita's blasts will help you out. Your job is to dodge his attacks while Carmelita weakens him, then aim for the glowing spots he reveals. Let's get this done!

Phase 1: Head and Feet

  1. Target: Head

    First up, his head! To dodge his black orbs, duck into the lower right corner. As soon as you're clear, fire away. You've got to be quick here to knock off about a quarter of his health.

  2. Target: Feet

    Next, swing to the right to dodge those orbs, and get ready to target his feet. Carmelita will fire a missile up his tail, so as she does, pull sharply up and to the right. Follow that missile with a few rockets of your own.

  3. Target: Right Wing

    For the final part of this round, bear left to dodge the last set of orbs. Now, aim your crosshairs at Clockwerk's right wing. Get that in before he can recover!

Clockwerk will take a tumble into the lava, but don't get too comfortable – he's coming back!

Phase 2: Electrical Rings and Left Wing

  1. New Attack: Electrical Rings

    This time, Clockwerk ditches the orbs and sends rings of electricity your way. You'll need to aim right into the center of these rings to avoid them. The order can be a bit random, so try to line yourself up in the center of one before it spins. Don't stress, there's enough time between rings to get ready for the next one.

  2. Target: Wing (Post-Rings)

    After the last ring, Carmelita will blast a missile at Clockwerk. This is your chance! Lay on the damage to his wing while he's vulnerable.

  3. Target: Other Wing and Head

    With one wing down, Carmelita will focus on the other. Dodge a few more rings, then it's your turn to blast away at the second wing. After that, you'll go back to targeting his head.

Final Phase: The Head Run

  1. Reach the Head

    At this point, Sly will drop out of the Jetpack. You've got to reach Clockwerk's head. It won't magically heal itself, so be careful! Run up to the first narrow beam and hop on.

  2. Navigate the Obstacles

    Make your way across the beams towards Clockwerk. You'll need to dodge columns of lightning and lasers as you go. Warning: If you fail during this part, you'll have to fight the entire battle all over again, so stay focused!

  3. Deliver the Final Blow

    When you reach the center, pound on Clockwerk's head until he's defeated for good. You did it!
