Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time clue bottle and safe locations guide

Forty Thieves 

Above: The green boxes represent Clue Bottles. The black box represents the Safe.

CLUE BOTTLE #1

The first Clue Bottle is on an archway in the southeast of the village.

CLUE BOTTLE #2

This guy bobs on a spire in the northeast of the village.

CLUE BOTTLE #3

The third Clue Bottle can be found on another spire in the northwest of the village.

CLUE BOTTLE #4

Just north is another Clue Bottle on an archway.

CLUE BOTTLE #5

Exit the village from the north to find some swords jutting from poles. You'll also find a bottle atop one of them.

CLUE BOTTLE #6

Just southeast is a series of rocks in the water, where you'll find a Clue Bottle floating in the air.

CLUE BOTTLE #7

North of the rocks is a bouncy awning you can use to reach the next Clue Bottle.

CLUE BOTTLE #8

Head east to find a bridge. At its southern end, you can reach a bottle via the nearby flagpole.

CLUE BOTTLE #9

Found a rooftop due south of Clue Bottle #8.

CLUE BOTTLE #10

This Clue Bottle hovers on a rope just west, but below that rooftop.

CLUE BOTTLE #11

To the south lies a large elephant statue with a Clue Bottle at its peak. Paraglide from a nearby rooftop to reach it.

CLUE BOTTLE #12

Just east of the statue, you'll find another bottle along a rope.

CLUE BOTTLE #13

At the other end of the rope, climb up the taller portion of the building to find another bottle.

CLUE BOTTLE #14

Found on a rooftop in the south end of the city. It's actually the rooftop where Clue Bottle #12's rope begins.

CLUE BOTTLE #15

East of Clue Bottle #13's building is a long rope above a stream. Cross it find a bottle along the way.

CLUE BOTTLE #16

Across the stream, head northeast to find this bottle hovering over a springy flagpole.

CLUE BOTTLE #17

Head west to find some poles sticking out of the water near a waterfall. A Clue Bottle hovers above on of them.

CLUE BOTTLE #18

Just to the north is a bridge lined with statues, and this Clue Bottle hovers atop one. You can paraglide to the statues from a nearby rooftop, but you might find it easier to ride the zip line used to get Clue Bottle #21. Note: You'll need Sly's Thief costume to climb to the zip line.

CLUE BOTTLE #19

Now drop under the bridge to find a Clue Bottle on a protruding rock.

CLUE BOTTLE #20

Head northwest to find another bottle on a rooftop.

CLUE BOTTLE #21

You'll need Sly's Thief costume for this. Use its Slow Time ability to safely climb the snake pole to the top of the massive tower. From here, use the zip line to reach the Clue Bottle - you'll still have to leap to it from the line.

CLUE BOTTLE #22

Just north, but below Clue Bottle #21, you'll find another bottle on an archway.

CLUE BOTTLE #23

You'll find this one on a hard-to-reach spire just to the northeast. To get there, use the hook spring move from the ring at the building's base.

CLUE BOTTLE #24

Immediately north is a rope with the next Clue Bottle.

CLUE BOTTLE #25

Go just west to find another bottle on Salim's boat.

CLUE BOTTLE #26

To the southwest is a group of bouncy awnings. You'll find this bottle hovering above the center one.

CLUE BOTTLE #27

Now head east to find a rope that crosses the river. It also holds the next Clue Bottle.

CLUE BOTTLE #28

In the northeast corner of the map is a line of rocks in the water. Hop across them to find this bottle.

CLUE BOTTLE #29

This one hovers on a rope at the northern end of the map, the palace area. To reach it, you'll need to have Sly's Thief costume. Use the Slow Time ability to climb the snake pole behind the palace. From there, you can reach the ropes.

CLUE BOTTLE #30

Head to the extreme north of the map - behind the palace - to find a group of bouncy cushions. Use them to reach the final Clue Bottle.

SAFE

Found just south of the hideout, this Safe contains The Guru's Staff Piece. This handy item reduces all damage taken by half.
