The Eye of the Storm

Master the Eye of the Storm boss fight against Raleigh in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Learn his phases, weaknesses, and the Ninja Spire Jump strategy.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Boss: Raleigh (Frog)
• Weakness: Only vulnerable when deflated after attacking.
• Invincibility: While inflated with bees.
• Penalty for Failure: Restart the entire fight.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: All platforms are raised. Stay one platform ahead of Raleigh. After five hops, he'll deflate and you can attack. Count his jumps to anticipate his landing spot.
2. Phase 2: All platforms except one sink. Stay on the remaining platform and move side-to-side to dodge Raleigh. He'll deflate when you're close.
3. Phase 3: Platforms rise again, but light up when Raleigh touches them. Similar to Phase 1, but he might take up to eight jumps to deflate.
4. Phase 4: All but one platform sink again. Dodge Raleigh's tongue as he spins in circles. After six circles, he'll deflate, allowing you to attack.

Strategy:

• The arena has a central dais where Raleigh refills and six surrounding platforms.
• In Phase 1, carefully position yourself to hit Raleigh after he hops five times and deflates. Don't get too far ahead or too close behind.
• Phase 2 requires you to stay mobile on a single platform, dodging Raleigh's advances.
• Phase 3 is a mix of Phase 1 mechanics, with the added hazard of electrified platforms.
• Phase 4 involves timing your dodges against Raleigh's spinning tongue attack before you can land hits.
• Successfully defeating Raleigh teaches you the essential Ninja Spire Jump, a move crucial for the rest of the game.
• Carmelita Fox arrives at the end, taking credit for the victory.
