Cooper Vault

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cooper Clan Vault is located on the fictional Kaine island and is the main target in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves for the Playstation 2. The Cooper Vault's only entrance is through an impenetrable door, which the evil Dr. M has relentlessly tried to break open by force. After recruiting a team of specialist thieves and escaping the clutches of one of Dr. M's giant mutant monsters, Sly Cooper opens the Vault with the only key: his prized family cane.

Once inside, Sly finds a seemingly endless cave loaded with all the treasure stolen by his family throughout the generations, each family member having their own separate section complete with a portrait of themselves. This is also where Sly faces Dr. M for the final time, causing the Vault to cave in, presumably killing Dr. M. Sly however, suffers a head injury that renders him amnesiatic (or so it seems, as he is actually faking amnesia to grow closer to Inspector Fox), which Inspector Fox uses to her advantage by telling him he's her partner.

Bentley and Murrey arrive at the remains of the mountain, finding not Sly but the Cooper treasure, all for the taking. Bentley narrates the last of the game, saying that he's going to build a time machine to find Sly again. Whether or not this is a clue to a possible fourth sequel to the game is debatable, although Sucker Punch has said in emails to fans that if there will be a fourth sequel, it will be released at the end of 2006.
