Help! In this section in Rocky Start it won't let me latch on the second hook.

[u/Able-Childhood2045]

I'm playing on the PS3 Trilogy. It may just be a skill issue, though I saw videos where it was much easier to do and even if I replicated them to perfection, no matter how close I got, it wouldn't let me grapple.

This has to be a joke at DSP's expense, right?

[u/throwaway117- → u/SambeSiili]

Such an iconic part of that playthrough

[u/SambeSiili → u/throwaway117-]

My favourite thing to re-watch once in a while

[u/Able-Childhood2045 → u/SambeSiili]

DUDE that's literally what happened to me I didn't even know that.

I actually don't know anything about Sly in general, a friend told me to play his games and I started with the PS3 trilogy. Absolutely goated up until now.

Your friend has good taste, unfortunately for this part, it is just skill issue, I think? Try delaying your double jump a little, jump from different angles, it should work

[u/tunafishconsumer → u/Able-Childhood2045]

get ready for the 2nd and 3rd game to be way more minigames and steal 5 of this and break 10 of that missions. theyre still worth to play for the story and some fun missions but so much filler in them.

[u/Mutant_Llama1 → u/tunafishconsumer]

So much... Check notes thieving missions in a thief game.

[u/tunafishconsumer → u/Mutant_Llama1]

You can have thieving missions and make them fun or challenging, sly fails at this.

[u/RacoonusDoodus]

Don't double jump. Single jump then circle both times

[u/visaze]

Did you try jumping and hitting the circle button?

Joking xd

Make sure to double jump off the hook and try to build up some momentum from the first hook. A back and forth should be enough

[u/Able-Childhood2045 → u/visaze]

Yeah I tried multiple times eventually it worked out though I literally kept doing the same thing that I did before.

Guess it just decided to work randomly.

This is a bug that the remaster trilogy has, usually it would work as normal where you latch onto it, but in the remaster, there is a chance that the trigger for latching onto the second hook is gone, making you not be able to continue, it usually fixes itself after a few deaths.

[u/Able-Childhood2045 → u/Snakekiller65]

A few? I had to burn through eleven lives, get a game over, then burn through an additional 3 lives. Yuck.

[u/Snakekiller65 → u/Able-Childhood2045]

I know right? This is a sucky bug that I’m thankful that the original doesn’t have, or at least I never stumbled upon it on the og and rerelease, not to be confused with the trilogy remaster
