A2: Planet Aranos - Flying Lab (Part 1)
After the cut-scene, walk onto the platform with the flashing light and
it will take you up to your next room. You will encounter your first
enemies in this next room, the MSR 1, take out your lancer and shoot
them. Continue on, at the end of the room you'll encounter some stairs,
jump and grab them, and scale it to the next room.
Tip: Destroy everything for bolts, and collect every bolt. Bolts are
used to buy weapons, gadgets, and items. Break crates you see for
bolts.
Megacorp crates contain ammo for all your weapons break them for free
ammo.
At the top of the stairs, look on the left for the next path, continue
down it, and kill the new MSR 2's along the way. In the next room, kill
the few enemies and turn right, go through this space and fight the
other enemies, including the new PX6 Blade ball.
Tip: Nanotech is your life; they are in little boxes that are clear on
the sides, with a blue or pinkish ball. Collect them for life.
After the PX6 Blade balls, continue along the path and ride the
elevator
up, take out your gravity bomb (press triangle for quick select and
pick
it) shoot it a the large group of enemies in front of the door you need
to pass through. Go into this room, and it will go to a cut-scene in
which the thief catches you and steals the protopet. After the cut
scene
you'll have to destroy the enemies for a minute and a hatch will open.
Tip: Remember to strafe it helps out a lot.
Go in the hatch and use your gravity bomb to destroy the group of
enemies and turn around and jump into the broken glass and the game
will
go to another cut scene. After the cut scene another large group of
enemies appear, yet again pull out your gravity bomb and dispose of
them. Ride the elevator in the next room up, and take out the enemies
along the corridor.
Tip: Use L1 to aim at enemies
In the room with 2 doors, use the gravity bomb to take them all out. Go
in the door on the left, and a cut-scene will start.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A3: Planet Oozla - Megacorp Outlet
From the start, look right, for a trail.
Tip: Megacorp vendors are used to buy weapons for Ratchet. Don't buy
anything yet though. Also, remember to break everything, plants, etc.
Keep going along the path until you meet the new kinds of enemies:
Mutant Muck dweller, Mutant Swamp Beast, and Mutant Fireflies. Dispose
of them with the lancer, or if they are close together, use the gravity
bomb. Jump across the platforms and launch the gravity bomb at the
Mutant Muck dwellers.
Tip: A good rule to use is to continuously use a weapon until it is
upgraded. Use your map continuously; press the R3 button or Select to
bring it up.
Continue along and take out the few enemies you find. You'll see a
purple dragon in the muck. Jump on its back and it will take you to
another dragon boat. Ride that one till it is close enough to the
ground
again. Turn around and take out the boxes for some bolts. Continue
along
the path and into the cave killing the enemies you see. You'll see a
Venus flytrap thing that is huge, you can jump on it for a second, and
then jump up onto the ledge and down near the dragon boats. Traverse
the
dragon boats until you get to a part with a Swamp beast, and jump off
there. Go along the path and use your gravity bomb on the upcoming
group
of enemies. After that area you'll need to ride the dragon boats again,
it's located along the left in the new area. Jump on its back and jump
onto the Venus flytraps, and another dragon boat. On the part with
several flytraps, traverse them, to the new part. Slide down the tube,
and it will go to a cut scene. After the cut scene buy the tractor
beam.
Platinum bolt: After purchasing the tractor beam, on the left there is
a
pillar. Move the other pillars into a step to go on top of the pillar
and grab the platinum bolt.
After the platinum bolt, move the pillars to the other edge in the same
manor, to get on top of it. Continue along the path, you'll get to
another flashing button, press it so the stairs go down. After going
back down, to your ship, take the path with the Megacorp Vendor next to
it. Go down this path and you'll get to an area cut into 2, by a trail
of muck in the middle. Launch a gravity bomb and take out all the
enemies across it, and jump over the little piece. Keep going along
this
area, and kill the fireflies, go right, onto the little platform in the
muck. Kill the swamp beasts that jump out of the water, don't forget
the
area on the left, behind the log. Kill the enemies in there for some
more experience. Back on the trail, continue along the Lilly pads,
killing the enemies along the way. After the Lilly pads, go right, and
then left on the trail killing enemies. Jump on the next platforms. Get
across the platforms. Go along the path until you encounter your first
mini-boss battle, The Swamp Monster 1. To beat this enemy, strafe the
whole time, and jump out of the way of the tentacles that will try to
slam you to the ground. At the same time, shoot the monsters tentacles
and/or his eye. After the boss go across the new lily pads, and take
out
the enemies. Get up next the building and go to the left. Grab the
dynamo, and activate the dynamo, and ride the platform up. Go up to the
doors, and into the building. Look on the right for another dynamo to
be
activated, go on the new platform and activate another dynamo, jump on
that platform and ride it across. Kill the fireflies, go right and
activate the dynamos to get across the space. Continue along the path
and kill the swamp beasts. Go out of the door, and jump over the gap on
the way. Go into the new doors and activate the other dynamos. Don't go
all the way straight, you'll need the gravity boots, and you get them
later in the game. Go left and activate the dynamo. Jump on the
platforms to get through them the fastest. A cut scene will happen when
you enter this room. After the cut scene go to activate the other
dynamo
use the translocator to your ship.
Platinum bolt: Take the path you did to get the tractor beam. After the
platforms, look on the left for a dragon boat that will take you to a
cave, in which, a platinum bolt is inside.
After getting the platinum bolt go to your ship and go to Maktar
Nebula.
When you get the gravity boots, return here and go back to the megacorp
outlet using the translocator, go back through the corridor and turn
left, go up the side of the wall, and slide down the hole. You'll come
to a boss that will give you the box breaker if you beat it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A4: Wupash Nebula
This is your first maxi-game. Use the controls I stated above. Barrel
roll if you are being shot from behind. After this battle you'll
automatically go to Maktar Nebula.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A5: Maktar Nebula - Maktar Resort
From the start, go down the path and kill the Thugs-4-less brute, and
continue down the right path. Along the way kill the megacorp chicken
bots, at the end of the path, look on the left, and use your tractor
beam on the column and move it. In the next room, use the tractor beam
on the robot and put him at the pad at the opposite side of the room.
In
the next room, forget the bomb in the middle for a second, continue
following the path and kill the chicken bots. Go back to the bomb, use
the tractor beam, and bring it to the end of the path to blow up the
glass wall. Kill the brute and grab the robot with the tractor beam
again. Go to the new room, put the robot in the middle of the room, in-
between the bars. Launch him up towards the door, on the second level.
He will walk on the pad, and open the door. Continue up the stairs;
along the path kill the brutes and chicken bots. Go left at the path
and
get the bomb. Go back the way you came to the glass door, and blow it
up. In the next area, launch the bombs at the targets in the air with
energy beams attached to them. After you destroyed all 4 of them go
into
the limo. It will take you to your first planetoid. When you start on
the planetoid, go forward and kill the chicken bots, and use your
wrench
on the bolt before the transponder. It will bring the transponder up,
and then hit the bars on it.
Platinum bolt: You'll need clank for this, after getting clank, come
back and jump on top of the limo. Turn around and jump on top of the
platform. Use the boost and it will launch you up to a platinum bolt.
After the 1st transponder, follow the energy trails on the ground to
the
next transponder. Kill the chicken bots and the MSR models on the way.
If you can't follow the energy trails this is how it goes. Go straight
to the 1st one, straight to the 2nd one, right to a boost up to the 3rd
one. From the top look for a green light and follow it. There are 6
transponders. If you can't find them, press R3 or Select to open up
your
map, and look for them. After returning from the planetoid, go down the
other path now from the beginning. Kill all of the brutes and chicken
bots (your weapons should have/or will be upgraded soon). Go up the
elevator and launch a gravity bomb at the group of enemies. Go into the
limo up ahead. At the new spot, jump onto the wall and shimmy towards
the stairs, climb up them, and launch another gravity bomb at the
group/s of enemies.
Platinum bolt: After scaling the stairs, there is a Platinum Bolt on
the
raised area on the right. If you can't get to it, come back with clank.
After killing all of the enemies, go to the end and wall bounce in-
between the walls. At the top, look in the next room and launch another
gravity bomb at the enemies. Go through this area and kill all the
chicken bots and the brutes. Fill up on ammo at the megacorp vendor
before entering the arena. The arena is fairly easy. I recommend
getting
all the enemies in big groups and shooting them with a gravity bomb to
take them all out, then shooting the rest with the lancer. After
winning
the battle you get the electrolyzer. You can either continue fighting
in
the arena to earn big bolts or leave. After leaving the arena, you're
going to have to complete a few electrolyzer puzzles. Right after the
first puzzle and crossing the bridge, a cut scene will happen, after
the
cut scene, do the last puzzle and go to your new planet, Planet Endako.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A6: Planet Endako - Megapolis
At the start, I recommend buying a new weapon, namely the Blitz Gun.
After purchasing that, go on the left path first. You'll need to do
another electrolyzer puzzle to get into the door. After going into the
door, kill the Megacorp Sweeper Bots, and go do another electrolyzer
puzzle to get the crane to work. After completing the puzzle use the
crane to grab the box, and put it near the high opening. Go into the
room and go into the available door. Use the blitz gun to take out the
sweeper bots. Go right and kill the Megacorp Rivet Bot. Follow the
trail
killing everything, including the Megacorp laser bot, and then on the
left there is a passage to go through. Kill the rivet bot and go
across
the chasm. In the next room use the electrolyzer for yet again another
puzzle. This time go into the next room and take the box on the left as
soon as you enter the new room, take it back up to the door next to
you,
and use it to blow out the door, then go back through the room you just
entered, go across that room into another room and move the crate up
next to another opening again.
Platinum Bolt: Go into the 2nd crane room; look for a door in the wall.
Move the non-exploding crate over to it, then pick up the exploding
crate, and put it on the other one, it will blow out the door, and a
platinum bolt is inside.
Go into the door that you just put a box next to and enter it. Kill the
two rivet bots with the blitz gun, after that ride the elevator on the
right up and a cut scene will happen in the next room. After the cut
scene, do the electrolyzer puzzle to free Clank. After that a cut scene
will happen, and then you play as Clank for a fairly short mission. As
Clank, go out and glide down to the next platform with the sweeper bots
and dispose of them. Follow the platform all the way around and punch
the microbots free. Use the microbots to kill the laser bot, pressing
triangle shows you the commands. Follow the path killing the bots, in
the next room, look on the left for a bridgebot. Command the bridgebot
to make a bridge and go over it and kill the laser bots. Again on the
left of the room, there is a new bot, the lifter bot (the only time you
use it in the game); command the lifter bot to lift and go threw the
passage. Follow the path and kill the laser bots, make the bridgebot
make a bridge, go over it, and use the enter command. A door will open,
have Clank go into the door, and press the flashing button. A cut scene
will happen. After this go into gadgets, go down to where the heli-pack
and thruster pack are, change to the thruster pack. Then just follow
the
rest of the path. Now take the right path from the start. Continue
hitting the garbage cans and killing the bots to get threw the area.
Follow the path, and you will see the Thugs-4-less ship, ignore it.
Keep
following the path over the floating ships all the way to the end.
Platinum bolt: At the end of the path, look down; go down in that area,
the platinum bolt is right there.
Go back and take the path on the right. Hit the garbage can and take
out
all the enemies. Keeping going threw the door and up the elevator. Kill
all of the bots and hit all of the garbage cans. Eventually you'll get
to the Thugs-4-less ship you have to fight. I recommend the blitz gun.
After defeating him, a translocator will appear, use it and it will
take
you to Clank's apartment. Here you will get 2 items: the Swingshot, and
the grind boots. Use the dynamo on the pyramid on clanks table for a
little game. After that, hit it for some bolts. Continue to follow the
trail using your swingshot till you get back to your ship.
Mod vendor: Go back on the right trail, where the elevator is. Don't
use
the elevator, look out into the city for a swingshot post, use your
swingshot, and traverse the grind rails. A few times you will need to
swingshot across gaps in the rail. After the rail, a cut scene will
happen, the mod shop guy will appear, buy mods for the blitz gun with
platinum bolts, and you should have 6 of them. Then go on the
translocator back to your ship. Go to Planet Barlow.
Nano-tech boost: After getting the infiltrator, go back to the 2nd
crane
room. Enter the room, and on the back wall of the next room, do the
infiltrator puzzle. The door will open revealing the nano-tech boost.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A7: Planet Barlow - Vukovar Canyon
From the start, turn right and go into the cave killing Megacorp's
Hound
of Cuddly Death (hounds). After the short cave kill the Vukovar
Tribesmen and a few Barlowian Saur-beasts. Keep going straight killing
all of the enemies, eventually you'll get to a bridge. Bust out your
gravity bomb here, and kill the large group of tribesmen. After the
bridge, there will be a few beasts, just jump on the edge of the bridge
and kill them with ease. Continue going down the trail and you'll see
tribesmen in a circle, shoot them with the gravity bomb as well.
Continue through the building, and you'll get to a big piece of land
and
the camera will jump and show a huge group of tribesmen approaching.
Again, use your gravity bomb/mini-nuke, and kill all of them. A new
bridge will connect and you'll follow it to the last gadgetron vendor.
After getting what you want at the vendors, go straight ahead, and
double jump over the gap. A cut scene will happen, after that fix the
hover bike with the electrolyzer, and beat the race. Make sure to get
all the boosts, everyone you see, and hold down R1. Avoid the beasts in
the field you will get to.
Platinum bolt: In the hover bike race, right after the water tunnel,
take a sharp left over the rail and the platinum bolt is right there.
After the races, turn around and go back over the gap, and go right,
kill the hounds and turn right going up the dirt path. Use your
swingshot and get to the turning column. Jump on a platform rotating on
it, and ride it to the other side. Again, use your swingshot to draw
close the platform. In the next room, swim through it and back up.
Platinum bolt: After getting out of the water, turn around and shimmy
on
the right side of the wall, then go along that path with the swingshot
and the turning column into a cave. The platinum bolt is inside.
Ride the platforms to the other side, and use your swingshot to get to
the other side of the gap. Again there is a swimming part, after that;
there is a set of targets for the swingshot. If you are getting out of
control, just hold circle but don't move, after you have stopped, swing
back and forth again. At the end of the targets there is a rotating
column, ride that and keep your swingshot out. While going around it
you'll see a target to pull a platform close. Kill the enemies on the
little area, and then use your swingshot to get to the other side. In
this building hit the guy in the ice block. A cut scene will happen,
and
then you'll need to buy the thermanator. After buying that, go left and
thaw the water, swim through the tunnel. Then freeze the water so you
can get on top of the higher ledge. Now go back to your ship and go to
the Thug Rendezvous.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A8: Thug Rendezvous - Feltzin System
There is no real strategy to this ship battle, just barrel roll out of
the way if other ships are shooting you from behind.
Platinum bolt: After getting through all the challenges except
Challenge
4, do challenge 4, but go through all the rings AND win; a platinum
bolt
will appear at the finish ring.
Nanotech boost: Go inside the big base like thing in the middle of the
level, it is on the floor in a room inside.
After that, go to Planet Notak.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A9: Planet Notak - Canal City
From the start DON'T go over the bridge, instead take the left path.
Kill the chicken bots and the Thugs-4-less henchman. You'll enter a
room
on the left in which you need to kill a few enemies, and then continue
out of it to see more henchmen. Go around this whole area, killing
everything. Take the elevator up to the next level, and kill everything
including the Thugs-4-less attack ship. Go across the bridge and kill
the henchmen.
Platinum bolt: Go across a bridge and turn right, then go left all the
way to a little area next to a building. Shoot the Megacorp sign, and a
platinum bolt is behind it.
Ride the elevator up once again, killing enemies, and going across the
bridge. Go up another elevator and grab the nano-tech boost, and then
take the translocator back to your ship. Now, this time go across the
bridge.
Platinum bolt: Right after the bridge, go left behind the building;
this
is where the platinum bolt is.
Go straight, then look on the left for a path, go in there and take out
the therminator. Freeze the water and keep going. Kill the chicken bots
and the generator. Continue going until you see chicken bots and an
attack ship. Kill them and go right up the path.
Platinum bolt: Look right after going up the path and you'll see a
dynamo. Continue up the path till you see and punch of henchmen, kill
them, then walk next to the railing where the dynamo was, activate it
and a door will open behind a bunch of barrels, the platinum bolt is
inside.
Go up the elevator, killing enemies, you'll get to a screen and a cut
scene will happen. After that jump off and glide to the ground below.
Go
across the bridge to the Chemical Factory. Open the door. Then use your
thermanator to freeze the water and get up top to a screw to make a
bridge across. The rest of the place is just freezing water and thawing
water, eventually you'll get to a place where a cut scene will happen
and you will have to buy a transmission. Now that you have the
coordinates to Slim's Ship Shack, go there and see what you can buy.
A10: Slim's Ship Shack - Slim Cognito's
There is no mission here, but you can upgrade your ship to make the
space battles easier. Now go to Planet Siberius.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A11: Planet Siberius - Frozen Base
Follow the path killing the MSR models and blade balls. Ride the
elevator down.
Platinum bolt: After riding the elevator down, use your tractor beam to
grab the column and bring it on the elevator with you. Then bring it
near the garage you passed at the beginning. Jump on the column, and on
the little piece of railing, and then jump into the garage for a
platinum bolt.
Platinum bolt: Near the elevator, look over at the building across from
you. Glide over onto the building, and look near some trees behind it,
a
platinum bolt is there.
After the elevator continue going down the path destroying enemies,
then
use the Vendor near the convoy to load up on ammo, and buy the
synthenoids. Go into the back of the truck, killing enemies and using
your swingshot to go from truck to truck. Attack the thief with the
blitz gun. After the first encounter, continue to traverse the trucks,
and fight the thief one more time. After that, the truck will flip
over,
and you will have to go up the platform and fight the thief for the
last
time. The synthenoids and the blitz gun should kill him quickly. A cut
scene will play and then go to Planet Tabora.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A12: Planet Tabora - Mining Area
After the cut scene, you start in a cave near a megacorp vendor. Buy
the
lava gun. Traverse the cave until you get outside, go by your ship, and
the Mystic will tell you to find 10 crystals in the desert around you.
First, go to the megacorp vendor, turn around and go through the
building. Go down into the cave and freeze the pool of water. Jump on
the frozen water and go right. You'll get to a platform floating in the
water. Stand the first thing to it, and freeze the water. Go up the
platform to the 2 waterfalls and freeze them. Then wall bounce in
between the frozen waterfalls. You'll get to the glider. Go through the
course.
Platinum bolt: In a room where you have to stand on the platform, and
freeze the water, go to the side you're trying to get up to. Freeze the
water while standing on that side, climb the platforms and look left
for
a hole in the wall; the platinum bolt is in there.
Platinum bolt: At the end of the glider course there is a platinum
bolt.
Nano-tech boost: On top of one of the pillars in the glider course.
Take the teleport back to the mystic and start collecting crystals.
Mod vendor: Stand on top of your ship, and face your ship's right side.
Keep going straight over the fence and the mod vendor is near that
area.
Platinum bolt: There is another platinum bolt in the desert, along the
edge of the northeastern side, just look in that area and you will find
it.
After collecting 10 of the crystals return to the Mystic and he will
fix
your ship. Then travel to Planet Dobbo.
Tip: There are still crystals in the desert; the Mystic will pay you
1000 bolts for each.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A13: Planet Dobbo - Testing Facility
Go to the armor vendor on the middle platform, and buy the tetrafiber
armor. Go back to the weapons vendor and buy the minirocket tube. Now
go
into the translocator. From the start you see Megacorp Sentinels, shoot
them with the minirocket tube. Continue going down the path killing all
the enemies, including the Blade ball v2.0, Megacorp security turrets,
and Megacorp troopers. Eventually you'll get to an elevator, ride it
up,
and kill the Megacorp hover tank. Use the swingshot to get across the
gap and use the dynamo's to get to the elevator. At the top a cut scene
will play. Now you have to use the glider to follow the maintenance
bot.
Nano-tech boost: Before you launch off with the glider look for the
boost in the left side of the room. Use the glider, and go into the
room
right after the one your in, swoop up to the right side, and swoop down
on the right. Then just swoop back up in the previous room to grab the
nano-tech boost.
Follow the robot with the glider and eventually you'll get to a place
with an electrolyzer puzzle.
Platinum bolt: In the large room at the end, swoop up and the platinum
bolt is in the middle of the bars.
After doing to electrolyzer puzzle, use the translocator to go back to
the core terminal. Buy the transmission. After that, use the
translocator to get back outside the building to the start of the level
again. This time go on the other path. Kill the Megacorp Chickenbot
v2.0
and the troopers. You'll get to some dynamos you'll need to activate.
Get across those. Kill all of the enemies including the tank, and
swingshot across the gap. Keep following the trail, up the stairs.
Eventually you'll get to a tank, kill it with the minirocket tube and
swingshot across. Go around the building and up the stairs. Use the
swingshot to get across the gap.
Platinum bolt: After going across the gap, go into the room on the
left.
You'll need the spider bot to get into the vent, to open a door with
the
platinum bolt inside.
Continue to go, activate the dynamos and get across the swingshot
targets. A cut scene will play and Clank will turn into Giant Clank,
and
you'll go to your next planetoid. Again there is no real strategy to
fighting the Thugs-4-less leader, just break down buildings for ammo,
and health, and kill all the helicopters attacking you because they
drop
health. After that return to start with the convenient taxi sitting
near
an edge for you and go to the Hrugis Cloud.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A14: Hrugis Cloud - Deep Space Disposal Facility
This space battle is easier than the last. If you bought the fusion
laser cannons, triple-boost acceleration engine, and the torpedoes or
fast-lock missile launcher your in good shape for this, if not, go back
to the Thug Rendezvous and do the challenges for some raritanium, and
buy them. After you complete this challenge, go to Planet Joba.
Platinum bolt: On the 4th challenge go through all the rings and
platinum bolt will be at the finish ring.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A15: Planet Joba - Megacorp Games
From the start go straight and kill the Joba Tribesmen.
Nano-tech boost: After killing the tribesmen, look right for a dynamo
activator on a wall, activate it, then go inside of the building and
activate the other one so a bridge will form. The boost is on the right
at the end of the room.
Go into the building and activate the dynamo, get across the bridge and
kill all of the enemies and the Jobian Saur-Beast. Climb the ladder and
kill the tribesmen trying to use the turret. Go over to the door with
the button on the ground and push it. Climb the ladder to the top.
Platinum bolt: After climbing the ladder look to the right and into the
air, there is a swing- shot target. Swing across killing the enemies,
and follow the trail to the end. You'll have to kill all the enemies,
and then push the button; the door will open revealing the platinum
bolt.
Again, do what you did before killing the tribesmen and you'll get to a
dynamo activator, use it and a platform will appear, ride it all the
way
to the top. After that, in the room kill all of the enemies, and press
the button to get out of the door at the top of the room. Slide down
the
rail and a cut scene will play. Buy the levitator.
Platinum bolt: After buying the levitator, use it and fly all the way
to
the top of the column on the left. A platinum bolt is at the top.
Use the levitator to fly all the way to the building ahead. Go into the
building and into the arena. Beat the first challenge for the gravity
boots, complete the cage match for the infiltrator and you can leave or
stay and earn bolts. Exit the arena and do your first infiltrator
puzzle. Now from the start again, go to the right and you will see a
swingshot target, go across the gap and lower the bridges. You'll get
to
a cut scene and you'll have to beat the race for the charge boots.
Nano-tech boost: To get this, you'll need to be on challenge 3. After
exiting the tunnels into the mud, go slow and look to the right. Go
down
the secret path, and the nano-tech boost is on the left on the trail.
After that, go to Planet Todano.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A16: Planet Todano - Megacorp Armory
From the beginning, follow the tourists all the way to the end of the
trail.
Platinum bolt: After the tourists leave, follow the Abercrombie
Fizzwidget into a room with the platinum bolt inside.
At the end of the trail, look for an electrolyzer puzzle, complete the
puzzle and an elevator will come down. Follow the new path that the
elevator took you to, and go straight towards the electric fence. Kill
the Megacorp Robot Guards and the Mutant Test-Squirrels. Go onto the
elevator in the building and take it down a level.
Nano-tech boost: Walk around the missile, right after the door at the
end there will be an infiltrator puzzle, do it and an elevator will
come
down to take you up a level, to get the boost up top.
Continue through the door, and the building and you'll come to an
infiltrator puzzle again, do it and you will enter a room in which a
cut
scene will play. Return to the Megacorp vendor, and now take the right
path into the building. Move the tractor column to block the field.
Platinum bolt/Armor Magnetizer: In the room with 2 tractor columns and
an inspector bot, get to the other side of the room with both columns.
Look up on the left wall for an opening; make a staircase with the
columns. Go up there and you can trade a Quark Acton Figure (Obtained
on
Planet Aranos Part 2), and a platinum bolt inside the building next to
the nerd. After getting through the fields put the inspector bot on the
pad so the door will open. Go through the corridor into a big room.
Platinum bolt: Look on your right for a conveyor belt, get on top of it
and go with its movement. At the end there will be a vent, launch a
spiderbot into it and push the button in a room you will get into.
Move the tractor column to block the field and grab the inspector bot
to
open the door. Ride the elevator up and in a few of the next rooms you
will need to move missiles. To solve each puzzle, make it go from
smallest to largest starting on the left side. Eventually you'll get to
a spot there you need to put the tractor column on a conveyor belt and
ride it to the other side of the room. After that continue exploring
and
you will end up in a room with the sheepinator, grab it, and go to
Planet Boldan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A17: Planet Boldan - Silver City
From the start look for a taxi and take it to an elevator. It will take
you to a levitator pad, use it to fly through the tunnel; eventually
you'll get to another pad. Use this one to fly into traffic to another
one, and use that one to fly through the electric tunnel. You'll get to
an elevator and take it to the top, and step on the flashing button.
After that take a right and grind the rails to the end.
Mod vendor: The mod vendor is right after the rails in the little area
press the button and all of the mods will be available for the weapons
you have. Buy all the mods for your minirocket tube and your lava gun.
Go into the room ahead and use the translocator back to the flashing
button. Go straight killing the Thugs-4 less henchmen and the Class 2
brutes. Take the left path and kill everything in that area.
Platinum bolt: After getting through the corridor to the left path,
take
a right and launch a spiderbot into the area with the platinum bolt,
make it step on the button, and the other side will go down allowing
you
to get the platinum bolt from the other side.
Now go back and take the right path. Kill everything in this area.
Nano-tech boost: Just after getting out of the right corridor, look to
the northwest for a fountain, a nano tech boost appears every other
hour
on top of the fountain, if it isn't there, save the game and change
your
clock settings, or just wait till your next hour.
Take the elevator up, and kill all of the brutes. Follow the path to
another elevator that will take you down. Kill all of the brutes here
and follow the path to yet another elevator. At the top there will be
an
armor and weapon vendor. Go to the armor vendor and buy the duraplate
armor. Now walk to the door right after the vendors, and walk down the
side of the building. At the bottom a door will open up for you to walk
into. Walk along the twisting path, and kill animals. The next area is
another area where you need to kill a lot of enemies. Ride the elevator
up.
Platinum bolt: After riding the elevator up, turn to your left, you'll
see the platinum bolt on a floating platform.
Swingshot across the gap, then walk on the twisting walkway to the
elevator, take it up. Go across and you'll need to walk down another
building. After you get down go into the next room. A cut scene will
play and you will be whisked away to Planet Aranos Part 2.
Platinum bolt: Return to Planet Boldan and go to the room where you got
captured, look up at the room for a target for the swingshot. Swingshot
up, the platinum bolt is up there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A18: Planet Aranos - Flying Lab Part 2
From the start you control Clank. Jump onto the platforms and get
across
the chasm. Go to the left and get the hammer bot. Make him go on the
elevator with you and ride it up. Have him smash the boxes in the way.
Eventually you'll get to a seesaw type thing, stand on the end with the
big bottom, and then command the hammer bot to hammer. You'll get
launched to the higher level. Go through the corridors and get the
microbots. Take them on the elevator you'll come across, down will you.
Press the flashing button and wait for the hammer bot to come to you.
Make the microbots go on the new seesaw with you and command the hammer
bot to hit you guys up to the next level. Make the microbots go in the
door. Continue from this next room and go up the elevator on the left.
Free the microbots and have them attack the MSR 1's. At the end of the
tunnels, make them enter the door and press the flashing button on the
ground.
Now it goes to Ratchet's turn. The megacorp vendor is there
conveniently
for you; buy the shield charger. Next go through the corridors, and up
on the platform that will make you walk on the wall. Continue through
this area, and jump on the platforms that appear when you jump near
them, eventually you'll get to an elevator and you will switch to Clank
again.
This time walk forward and glide off the edge to the area below, jump
on
the pillars to get across. Get the bridgebot to make a bridge and go
across it into the room and onto the elevator, wait for the bridge bot.
When the bridgebot is on the elevator go up and kill the chicken bots.
Then tell the bridgebot to make a bridge and run along him and jump as
soon as you go onto his head and glide down to the platform. Get the
bots and have the bridgebot make another bridge. Get the hammer bot,
and
make the microbots kill the MSR 1 models. Make the hammer bot break
boxes again. After that have the microbots enter the door ahead.
Again with Ratchet go straight, and you'll get another wrench upgrade.
Then continue to the platforms and traverse them. You'll end up
eventually getting to walk outside the ship with the gravity boots. Go
and follow the path back into the ship. Do the next few platform
challenges and you will meet up with Clank again.
Platinum bolt: Jump off the edge near your ship, and fly toward the
base, you'll see the platinum bolt and a levitator pad to get back to
the top.
Go straight and climb the ladder on the left. Complete the infiltrator
puzzle and go inside. Use the levitator pads to get to a room to turn
off the force field, and a new cut scene. Go out of the room by the new
door opening, and look for other doors to go in. You'll find one with
another levitator pad, fly to the end of the path and buy the Quark
Action Figure. Now go to Planet Gorn.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A19: Planet Gorn - Thugs-4-Less Fleet
Again, no real strategy; just kill all the big ships in the level, and
ignore the little ships unless you need missiles, shields, or just want
raritanium.
Platinum bolt: Get to challenge 4 and fly through all the rings for a
platinum bolt at the finish ring.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A20: Planet Snivelak - Thug HQ
From the start, use your swingshot to get across the gap to the
building.
Nano-tech boost: On the last swingshot, swing back and forth till you
get enough height to reach the nano-tech boost.
Go through the building and swingshot across the other versa targets.
Use your swing shot to bring the rail down to grind on. Grind around
the
rail, till you get to the bottom, then walk up the pillar, and activate
the dynamos and platforms for you to jump on will move around the
pillar. Get to the top, now walk to the left, use your minirocket tube
to take out the Attack-Copters. Walk down the building and across the
bridge and use the boost to get across the gap. Go to the armor vendor
and buy the electrosteel.
Platinum bolt: After using the boost to get near the armor vendor, look
to the right at the building. Glide over there and use your dynamo to
traverse the wall. Get to the top into the room and the platinum bolt
is
there. (After you get the mapper, the green area will not go away)
Go next to the armor vendor behind the bridge and take out the Megacorp
Hover Tank v2.0's. Kill everything on the bridge, and get into the town
area. Take a left, and walk down this way, go all the way to the end
then take a right. Continue to follow this path, and take another right
at the end of it. Break the boxes in the center and an ambush will
happen. Kill the enemies and then take another right, a cut scene will
play and you will need to defeat the Giganto Mech.
To defeat the mech, go to all the boosts, and launch up to a turret.
Shoot the mech and the satellites he shoots at you. When he starts to
pound his chest and come near you, exit the turret (triangle button),
and run to a new boost for a new turret. Continue to do that till the
mech is killed, it is very time consuming. After you defeat him and cut
scene will play, then go to Planet Smolg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A21: Planet Smolg - Distribution Facility
At the start, go across the platforms on the right, to the ship, across
some more platforms, and through a building. Now use the levitator pad
to fly straight over to a big floating platform. Get to that one and
run
straight to the other levitator pad and fly to the next platform.
Platinum bolt: On the 3rd platform, look up for a platform in the sky,
use the levitator pad to fly up to it, get on top of it where the
platinum bolt is.
Now, fly to the 4th platform taking out some enemies. Go inside of the
room, and jump on the levitator pad, and fly in-between the energy
strings to the 5th platform. From the 5th platform, fly to the 6th, and
go inside the building, then fly out of the top of the building up to
the huge area up top. When you arrive at the top there is yet another
levitator pad, use it and fly over the big mountain of boxes. Land
right
after the mountain of boxes and use another levitator pad to fly to the
last platform. Buy the transmission from the guy, and then take the
translocator back to your ship.
After that, go to the left and use the jump boost, it will launch you
to
the ship. Press the flashing button and kill the Two-headed Smolgian
Snappers, along with the Grulches. Follow the path up and around boxes
killing enemies. Eventually, you'll get to a part with a dynamo
activator. Use it, and the conveyor belt will activate. Stand on the
box
and jump up onto the higher boxes.
Platinum bolt: When you get up onto the higher boxes, walk bounce up
them, turn to your left and jump on boxes that way. Go into the first
person view and look to the left for the platinum bolt, when you see
it,
traverse the boxes to get it.
On top of the higher boxes you'll see another dynamo, activate it and
jump into the moving platform. Traverse the rest of boxes; you'll get
to
a part with 2 dynamos; one on the left and one on the right. Activate
the left one, as you near the right one, activate that one. Then go
near
the door and do the electrolyzer puzzle. A cut scene will play after
you
use the elevator. Grind the rail ahead of you. It will take you to
another ship; go through here killing all of the enemies. Jump across
the platforms that seem like they will collapse. Go left and up the
other platforms. Complete the infiltrator puzzle and continue to go
through the area. Go across some more platforms around the building and
up another set. Press the flashing button to lower the force field,
after the building you will see a shiny object, grab it, it's a piece
of
the hypnomatic. After that kill the rest of the enemies and look for a
platform to take to you the beginning of the level. Now, go to Planet
Damosel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A22: Planet Damosel - Allgon City
From the start, go into the building and go into the left room, onto
another pad, for the last Giant Clank missions. To defeat the spaceship
punch it when it lands or throw bombs at it. Near the end jump on the
bar circling the ship and strafe back and forth on it. After you win
you
get the mapper.
When you return to Allgon City, this time take the right path, and
grind
the rails to the end.
Tip: Use synthenoids to kill protopets on the rails.
At the end of the rails you'll get your 2nd hypnomatic piece. Now in
the
building take the path that go straight. Kill all of the enemies and
climb the ladders. Use your swingshot to get across the gap. Kill all
of
the enemies here. Continue to follow the path and you'll get to a taxi,
which will take you to the bank.
Platinum bolt: When you enter the bank, go to the right and freeze the
fountain. Grind down the ice and you'll get to a platinum bolt.
After that, wall bounce up the wall to get into the bank, and then kill
all of the enemies. Go to the left and go up, then take a left into the
new area. Go past the Megacorp pyramid, and kill all the enemies in the
upcoming area to get the door to open. After that continue to follow
the
path, and ride the elevator up. Kill all the enemies in this area now,
and freeze the water ahead of you to get up. Talk to the guy with a
sock. You'll need to last hypnomatic part from Planet Grelbin. Ride the
taxi to your ship and go to Planet Grelbin.
After getting the hypnomatic piece off of Grelbin, return to the sock
guy; have him make the hypnomatic for you. Control the receiver bot and
make him touch the flashing button at the end of the path.
Platinum bolt: Go back to the Megacorp pyramid and use the hypnomatic
on
the receiver bot on the top. Make him fall off and blow a hole in the
wall by pressing the triangle button.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A23: Planet Grelbin - Tundor Wastes
Go down the bridge thing, over to the rotating rocks, continue to go to
the purple rock on the ground and a cut scene will play. Go into the
wasteland and collect 9 moon stones for the Mystic and he will move the
rock, make sure to kill the Arctic Leviathans for more moonstones.
After
that go into the door you just got open, and go into the mine. Use the
glider to get through the cave. When you get to the end of it you'll
have to get through the rest of it. Go through the door, then turn
right
and walk to the northwest and press the flashing button. Go into the
center of the next room and press another flashing button, and go back
outside in the next room. Do the infiltrator puzzle, to open the door
and all of the bridges to be able to collect 16 moonstones for the last
hypnomatic piece. After collecting 16 moonstone pieces trade them for
the hypnomatic piece and go to Planet Damosel.
Platinum bolt: After the glider course, after turning right into the
next room, look at the right wall for a receiver bot. Use the
hypnomatic, and have the receiver bot go into the room on the left, on
the top of a hill there is a flashing button, press it. The door will
open, and then climb the stairs; at the top there is a platinum bolt.
Platinum bolt: This platinum bolt is in the wastes, look on your map

When returning with the hypnomatic, from the start, go right and down
into the building. Use your hypnomatic on the receiver bot, control the
receiver bot, and press the circle button to control other receiver
bots. Continue to do this until you press a flashing button. Then as
Ratchet climb the floating platforms to the top. Use the hypnomatic on
another receiver bot, make the bot jump onto the platform and take it
down. Again, continue to control bots till you press a flashing button.
Now, swim through the area you use opened up. Go back out of the
building. Walk up to the door (after killing the protopets for
experience) and a cut scene will play, and you get coordinates for your
final planet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A24: Planet Yeedil - Protopet Factory
Platinum bolt: Grind the right bridge rail to the top, there is a
platinum bolt up there.
From the start, go across the bridge. Turn right and use the hypnomatic
on the receiver bot. Then use that receiver bot to control another one
right across from you on the left. Kill the protopets and turn right
and
control another bot. Then just continuously control bots, and press
flashing buttons and follow a path. Soon, you will press a flashing
button that will make 2 swingshot targets appear. Swingshot across them
and kill all of the enemies. A door on the left will open, follow that
and control another bot, kill all of the enemies and door ahead of you
will open, go in and press the button. In the room you just came from
and door will open with a translocator. Use the translocator, and go to
the new spot. There are only a few tricky spots. Kill all of the
enemies, and you will get to an infiltrator puzzle soon. Another one of
them are the moving floating platforms, you just have to wait for the
right time to jump to the next. Another is the dynamo fan; again, it's
just a matter of timing. You'll get to a part with 2 tanks, kill both
of
them and a swingshot target will appear. Swing shot over, and walk to
the right. Fill up on ammo from the vendor, and turn around and do the
electrolyzer puzzle. After that, jump on the platform near you and it
will take you to the other side of the room. In the room coming up kill
all the enemies.
Platinum bolt: In the room you just entered use your tractor beam on
one
of the columns, it will move, then traverse that spot, and grind the
rail all the way around and get your last platinum bolt.
After killing all of the enemies go, and use your swingshot to lower
the
bridge, kill the enemies that will warp in, then just walk straight up
to the door ahead. A cut scene will play, and then after that you'll be
fighting the last boss, The Mutant Protopet.
This boss is not that difficult as long as you have upgraded the
minirocket tube and the lava gun, and have bought all of their mods.
Use
the meteor gun and lock-on to the protopet (press R2 then L2 and hold
them down) fire away and by the time the ammo has run out in it, its
life should be more than halfway down. After that use the megarocket
cannon, and do the same thing. Soon, you will beat him.

P. Bolt.

inside.

supports up to the top and grab the P. Bolt.

column with a tractor beam target. Move the column and climb the stairs
to the grind rail. Ride it to the P. Bolt at the end.

you go off the boost, in the next room swerve up fast on the right
side,
turn to the left and go down, then swoop back up to get it in the room
you just came from.
6. Planet Joba
There are 2 dynamo activators you need to do. Go straight from the
start
to the big room. Before you go to the big room look left and you will

room, get across the new bridge and go in the room on the right, that's
where it is.

you, take the left path. Go into the room with a rocket in the middle.

and an elevator will come down, go on the elevator it will take you a
level up, the nano-tech is up there.

it. It only comes every other hour, if it doesn't come when you see it,
save the game, and reset your clock.
10. Planet Snivelak
At the beginning use the swingshot targets, on the last one you will
see
the boost, rock back and forth on the target till you get enough height
to glide over onto the roof, and grab the boost.
