Cooper Vault
Glitch Island- the place filled with land sharks, proxy spots, random deaths, and more...This is one awesome glitch! So awesome, in fact, that I had to split this is two parts! In part 1, I'll be solely focusing on one island out of the whole map, which I'm calling "Glitch Island". If I'm taking an entire video just to explore ONE island, you know there's going to be some crazy glitches!

Special thanks to Mikko K for sharing this glitch!
-A New Perspective-
1. While fighting the black baron (either on the mission or the timed trial) equip feral pounce
2. Go to the edge of the wing and try to jump to the back of the plane. Since the plane moves around a lot, it make take multiple attempts to finally land the jump.
Difficulty: * *
-Pushing Characters-
1. This one is even more simple than the last glitch. Just paraglide over to the cliff side where the rest of the cooper gang is standing, and repeatedly bump into them. You can really push them wherever you want by doing this, it just requires a lot of patience.
Difficulty: *
-In the Open Water-
(Note: This glitch was not discovered by me. Jake is the one who found this glitch, so all credit goes to him)
1. Swim toward the place you saw in the video (I can't really describe it here)
2. Then, continue to swim toward the crevice in the wall until you clip through
3. Be careful not to swim too far away from the main area, its extremely easy to die here. Sometimes I find that it helps too swim above the water, then back down, then back up (Like you saw in the video)
Difficulty: * * * *
My terrible explanation of table clipping didn't do it for you? Give this video a watch, he explains it much better: youtube.com/watch?v=A-vRxA2RQuQ
After Sly Cooper's precious curry was stolen by the Contessa, the gang embarks on an epic quest like no other. Join them as they face challenges that will test their friendship, and their taste buds. Will Sly Cooper survive to tell the tale? Or more importantly, will he ever taste his beloved bowl of curry ever again?

------Job Failed?-----
1. You need to be on the first mission in episode 6
2. Enter Jean Bison's cabin to trigger the binocucom chat
3. Leave the cabin
4. Enter the reload code, then quickly exit the menu and enter the door. This is called the jobless devmap glitch (Check this video out for more on the devmap if you're unfamiliar - youtube.com/watch?v=k0b3x_gJxgQ&t=829s )
Difficulty: * *
-----Dancing in the Doorway-----
1. Select the mission that has you dancing with neyla

3. Somehow activate the devmap by either dying and reloading or entering a door before reloading
4. After the devmap has been activated, go into the ballroom through the side door (the door you go into for the first mission)
Difficulty: * * *
-----The Jean Bison Hardlock-----
1. On the first mission in episode 7, go into the lighthouse where Jean Bison is.
2. Reload the game

----Uhhh, Where did the truck go?----
Difficulty: *
Basic description:
When I first discovered this glitch, I was pretty confused. After reloading the game, I chose Sly, just like any other time, but when I exited the safe house the truck was gone... At first I thought the truck just disappeared, but then I saw a group of guards run not towards me, but north of the map. The truck must have reloaded to it's original position! I know it may not seem like it, but it actually makes this part of the job much easier, if your able to get to the truck fast enough. Guards appear in much slower intervals, making it less chaotic.
How to:
1. Start the operation for episode 1
2. Play though it until sly grabs the "tow harpoon."
3. Reload the game

Second method (the one I forgot who found it) was discovered by 1slychilla
But all jokes aside, this isn't exactly a glitch, it's more of a trick or maybe, possibly an exploit, either way, It's pretty cool to see the game repeating the same actions forever.
-----Neyla Falls Forever-----
Difficulty: * * * *
Basic description:
If you're wanting to do this one yourself, it's not going to be easy. You'll need the paraglider in an episode one mission, which is only possible through cheat codes. The "How to" part of this glitch description does not cover how to do this. If you don't know how to get late game gadgets such as the paraglider, you might want to give this video a watch- [Link for video goes here when it releases]. Anyways, now we know that Neyla and the tank are affected by the fake floor glitch, and I'm sure that's not all. For some reason, whenever you activate the fake floor glitch while Neyla is running on a tightrope, she will fall...forever. Unless you're able to jump at the right time and somehow correct the glitch, (I showed this in the video) she's not coming back. This means that you can jump around the map wherever you want, without failing the mssion like you normally would. That's because Neyla is technically still running, and the mission only fails when Neyla has been staying still waiting for you for too long. That's my theory at least.
How to:
1. Once the mission has started, run over to the first streetlight you see and latch on.
2. Quickly jump off and, assuming you have one, open your paraglider.
3. Try to aim for the very edge of the awning, preferably the corner edge.
4. The second you come in contact with the edge of the awning, mash the X button.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 with the next awning.
6. Finally, paraglide as far as you can into the water.
7. If you did it all correctly, you should have respawned on an invisible streetlight. If not, fail the mission and repeat all of the above steps. Remember, this is actually pretty tricky to get down, most of the time your mistake is going to fall under not hitting the button fast enough on the awning. Tip: the quickest way to restart is usually hitting Neyla with your cane.
8. Now, with the fake floor glitch prepared, quickly run over to Neyla before you fail the mission for being too slow.
9. That's it! If you want Neyla to fall forever, you'll have to activate the fake floor glitch as she's walking on a rope, otherwise, she'll just jump up and fall down infinitley.
-----R/C Chopper's Dangerously Low Flight-----
Difficulty: *
Basic description:
This is just some strange coding. What confuses me is that whenever you reload, it's all glitchy, but whenever you DIE and it reloads, nothing happens. Let me know what you guys think about this one in the comments, it's definitely a weird one.
How to:
1. Start the mission.
2. Enter the reload code. (left r1 up down up left)
-----Undead Bentley-----
Difficulty: * *
Basic Description:
This glitch was discovered by Oerg Poerg, so all credit for this goes to him. I think this is caused by the death animation being replaced by the exiting animation. Like we've seen in Sly 1, your character only dies once the death animation finishes. The only effect of this that I know of is your lack of health display, or HUD, as I've heard it. If you can manage to collect some health pickups, it does in fact restore you're health, but not you're health display. Unfortunately, this doesn't carry over to the main area.
How to:
1. Make sure you have hover pack purchased and head to episoded 3.
2. Choose Bentley and crawl into the sewer pipe. (the place at the start of the first mission)
3. Use hover pack to access the area where Sly goes to take the recon photos.
4. Make sure your health is halfway depleted or less. You can easily place a bomb next to you if it's not yet.
5. Stand near the exit of the room and place a bomb facing the window.
6. Make sure you're standing in between the bomb and the exit, and wait for it to explode.
7. If you did it right, the bomb should have knocked you into the exit, causing the exiting animation to cancel out your death!
Thanks for reading!
DIFFICULTY- * * *
First, make your way over to where the doverman guard scans his flashlight. Once your on that platform, jump onto the railings. Carefully, jump forward from spire to spire. Once you reach the end of the railings, make a big leap as far as you can toward where the flowing waters meet in the middle. You're now free to explore a pretty cool little out of bounds area, but be careful, walk to far up the flowing water and you'll be electricuted.
Walk on electric water:
DIFFICULTY- * * * *
This glitch is a continuation of the previous glitch, but I thought it deserved it's own segment. First, repeat the instructions for the previous glitch. Ok, so once your out of bounds, go to the railings opposite of the side you entered, it should be to the left, if your facing the giant roulette. Again, carefully jump forward form each spire, making your way upward. Once you get to the end of the railings, you can safely jump on that brown-ish thing. Finally, jump right into the pillar (don't worry, its not solid) and now you can jump into the non-deadly, electric water!
Falling forever in "the unseen foe":
DIFFICULTY: * *
At the very beginning of the level, you should see a tree. Try to jump on top of it. (this will probably require a lot of button mashing) Once you get on top, quickly jump onto the leaves platform. Now, all you need to do is jump past the level entrance aura and you'll be out of bounds. If you want to fall forever, just keep going forward.
Complete a mission from the comfort of your safehouse:
DIFFICULTY: * *
This one is pretty simple really, just pause the game, enter the reload code, then quickly unpause and hit circle. You can now complete a mission from the comfort of your safehouse, and then stare at Murray while Sly and Bentley have a very glitchy conversation.
Bentley attempts to jump into Murray's arms:
DIFFICULTY: N/A
I'm going to be honest, I completely forgot how I did this one, I just had this clip sitting on my SD card and decided I would put it in a video, but since I filmed it so long ago I forgot how I did it. Sorry guys.
Infinitely jumping rats:
DIFFICULTY: * * * * *
I really don't even know how this happened, I was fighting some rats on the platform with the piano, and I noticed some of them were trying to jump up, but couldn't, so I finished off the normal rats and started filming. I don't think I could do this again if I tried, although I have gotten a similar glitch in a livestream, with the bird gaurds in episode 8.
Also, this is yet another glitch found by Jake, so all credit belongs to him. Good job Jake.
Apparently, players would submit their scores to a website for a chance to win Sly Cooper merchandise and a trip to...disney land? Yeah, this game is weird.

Grapple Cam in the SafeHouse:
DIFFICULTY: * * *
You know the drill, go up to the door and spam X. Once your in the safehouse you can do some pretty neat stuff.
Explore the sewers:
DIFFICULTY: * * * *
Run in between the wall and the button. If your lucky, you'll get clipped straight through the wall.
Tsao Needs Glasses:
DIFFICULTY: *
First, pull up your gadget grid and change your disguise to anything other than your photographer costume. Then, when you respawn, press the button for that disquise. If you did it right, Sly will not have be wearing his costume anymore, so your free to explore the room with all of your abilities. If you talk to General Tsao, things get...weird.
Damaged Rolling Glitch:
Just stand in a certain spot and let the guard hit you, when you fall back, you should be stuck between two things, and because your still technically in the air, you'll keep spinning around until you slide into the water
Sneak on Muggshot's Crystal:
I'm not sure if this is a glitch or a developer oversight, but it's cool so I put it in anyway. Just do what you hopefully saw me do in the video.
Casino Mega Jump:
This one is pretty difficult to pull of, but it's one of the coolest glitches in the entire game. (that I know of) Once your on the first bridge with the lasers, before going into the hallway there will be a pillar on the left. Try to jump behind that, there should be a railing there. Now, if you were able to land on the railing, carefully walk along it until you see a corner where the water cuts off. Now this is where things get pretty difficult. Try to jump in the corner so that you touch the water, but still fall. This part is better explained visually. Doing this will probably take you a very long time, I was extremely lucky to get this on my first try.
Running Guard-
Hide behind the pillar on the top right. Then, right before the guard turns his flashlight, then walk away and he should fall off the platform and run into the wall forever. You can actually push him off and he will keep running in that direction
Stand on Muggshot-
Just Jump on the edges of the "elevator" and try to stand on Muggshot. you may have to jump a few times to balance yourself.
Rope Glitch-
First, climb to the bottom of the last rope in the level, then jump off and quickly jump back on the bottom of the rope. It may take you a couple tries. I have no idea why this happens, and like you saw in the video, sometimes it can launch you pretty high up. Definitely a cool glitch to try.
*EDIT* Apparently this can work with any rope in the level
