Hint:
Hovering:
While at any planet, tap R1(2) to start hovering. You will be able to
hover around the rooms without landing. You can land by pressing X.
Get the Thruster Pack and go
into hover mode. Then, enter the options menu and change your Thruster Pack
to your Heli Pack. When you exit the menu screen, you will hover without
your Thruster Pack. Note: When you press X you will stop hovering.
Hint:
Wrench first person crosshairs:
When in first person mode (L1), swing your wrench using Square,
then press R1 to turn on its crosshairs.
Hint:
Gold Morph-O-Ray:
Once you have the Gold Morph-O-Ray, use it to change any enemy into a giant
chicken. It will distract the other enemies and they will attack it. The
chicken will then blow up, causing damage to the other enemies near by.
Hint:
Jet fighting:
When you are flying your jet fighter at the Jowai Resort, Pokitaru, or when
facing Captain Quark, you can fire your Mega Guns and Missiles at the same
time. A faster way is to hold R1 + Square.
Hint:
Persuader: To get the Persuader, go to Jowai Resort. Go to the Island Sewers
and get to the end of them. Talk to the inventor and he will ask you for
some Raratanium. Then, go to planet Orxan and explore as Ratchet with the O2
mask. Go to the left and go up the ledge. At the end of that road, a person
with a broken drill will ask for help. Have Ratchet fix it and you will get
the Raratanium. Return to the Jowai Resort and go to the inventor to get the
Persuader. The Persuader will give you a discount (about 25%) at the
Gadgetron weapon store.
Hint:
Swingshot: Whenever you are swinging on the yellow Swingshot holders, you do
not have to let go. You can be still, spin, or by yourself some time.
Hint:
Walloper shield: When you get the Walloper, you can use it as a shield against
some projectile weapons. As soon as a shot is coming towards you, press Circle
with the Walloper and it just dissipates. Unfortunately it does not work
against Bosses,some of the big enemies, and flame throwers.
Hint:
Easy skill points: Go to Kalebo 3. Go to the overboard person and enter. Go through
the level until you see a Boost Plate and a Rocket. From about four feet
back, turn left. You will see another part of the race track. Land on it,
hit the ramp, and do a trick. After you land it, the "Wrong way"
message will appear. You will be transported behind the place you fell of
at. Keep repeating this until you have 4,500 or more points. Then, quit and
you will have a skill point.
In the Planet Hoven level,
there are two skill points. When you get out of your ship, move a slight
distance from your ship and take out your Suck Cannon. Metal frogs should
appear from the ground. Keep sucking them in and hurling them out. You will
get a lot of Bolts and earn a skill point. The second one is obtained after
earning the Raritanium. Go out of the place and shoot as many helicopters as
you can with your Devastator Gun. You will automatically earn another skill
point.
While traveling through the
Gemlik Base, Oltanis Orbit, you will notice eight ships parked on different
roofs. Equip the Visibomb gun and shoot all eight ships. When this has been
done, you will have earned a skill point.
After buying the Devastator, go
back to planet Kerwan and shoot the fake Captain Qwark to earn a skill
point.
Go to the logging site and take
out your Blaster. Go all the way to the right until you cannot go any
further. Then, use the Blaster to take out flying ships. Shoot as many as
possible until you earn a skill point.
Hint:
Easy Bolts: After receiving the metal detector, go back to previous planets
and search for hidden Bolts. Not only does the metal detector help you find
more, but the planets' items also respawn after you leave it.
Do the hoverboard races
repeatedly. You can get 1000 to 2000 Bolts for each race.
Note: This trick requires a
controller with an auto-fire feature. In Kerwen, there is a little tunnel by
the Gadgetron Vendor that all the cars fly into. Each car is worth four
whole Bolts. Fly down into the tunnel (there is a golden bolt here).
Maneuver yourself in line with an oncoming set of cars, hold L1 and
adjust your view. Then, set Square to auto-fire and keep it held.
Allow the game to idle in this state for several hours and you will have
enough to buy some golden weapons or perhaps a RYNO.
Go to any planet with a Monster
Deployer. Then, get the Suck Cannon out and start sucking all of the
monsters up. You can get a lot of Bolts this way. You go back into the
planet to get more Bolts or if you accidentally destroyed the Deployer.
This trick requires the Taunter
Gun, the ability to race a Hoverboard, the Bolt Magnet, and the Hologuise.
Go to Blackwater City and enter the race with the Hologuise on, so you can
walk the track without racing. Run down the track until you find the
platform with a wall of boxes on it far above your head. Take out the
Taunter Gun and walk just below the platform, out of sight. The
"blobs" should be in front of you. Hold Circle and the gun
should break the boxes that are out of sight and continue to drop Bolts.
Keep the button pressed -- the boxes immediately respawn after they are out
of sight. You can get an unlimited number of Bolts if you allow the game to
idle in this state.
After picking up the Codebot in
Drek's Fleet (Veldin Orbit), return tothe Robot Planet (Quartu). Use the
Codebot to open the secret area by the robot arena, then transform into
Giant Clank. Fight your way through a round in the robot arena. Then,
instead of transforming back, walk off the edge of the walkway. When you
regenerate as Giant Clank, you will be invulnerable. Walk back into the
arena, and repeat as this as many times as desired.
On the Hoverboard race at the
Gadgetron Site (Kalebo III), just after the big block of metal boxes before
the big jump into a fork, jump to the left. You should land on a platform
near the beginning. Jump over the water onto the platform. You must land on
the platform or this trick will not. Make a sharp right turn into the water.
You should end up at the end of the first turn, before the platform you
jumped off. Repeat this for an unlimited score. You will get 1000 Bolts for
every new record.
The best way to get tons of
bolts is to go to planet Quartu, especially after you have already completed
this level. Go to the machine that turns you into Giant Clank. When you are
Giant Clank, go into the arena. You will end up fighting the mechs and the
planes again, like in the mission. This can be easily done by standing at
the entrance and continuously shooting your rockets at your enemies. After
you have destroyed them all, walk to the back of the arena and even more
Bolts will fly to you. After you have gotten everything, leave the arena and
jump off the cliff. It will start the fight again and you will have all the
Bolts you had before. You will receive about 1,500 to 2,000 Bolts per fight.
Note: It is helpful if you have the Bolt Grabber.
To get more Bolts, hit the
light poles. Only certain ones will give you extra Bolts.
You must have the Hologuise to
do this trick. Go to Black Water City in Rilgar and use the Hologuise. Enter
the race as a robot. You will be able to walk on the ground instead of race.
You no longer need the Hologuise. Go to the big jump with all the boxes on
top of the platform. Stand under it and take out the Taunter. Stand under
the platform. You will know when you are under because the Bolts will start
flying down. Keep your button held. You will get about 1,850 to 2,000 Bolts
per minute.
In any city that has space
ships flying around, use your blaster to shoot the ships. If you hit a ship,
you will receive 3 to 5 Bolts. Hit as many ships as you can to keep getting
more Bolts. Note: If you do this, some sound effects such as the swishing
sound when you swing your wrench may not work for a few seconds. To fix this
problem, kill an enemy and the sounds should return to normal. If not,
repeat it a few times.
Go to Planet Batalia and get
out either the Teisa Claw or Suck Canon. Destroy all the Bots and use the
Taunter by the door that you use the Trespasser. There is a large number of
crates that reappear when you leave or load.
Use the following trick to get
unlimited Bolts and a Gold Bolt. On planet Kerwan, when you reach the
platform were the vendor is located, turn right and stand on the taxi that
goes to Al's Robo Shack. Do a Stretch Jump (facing the vendor), then drop
down. To get unlimited Bolts, crouch down and keep firing your wrench at the
cars. Each car is worth 4 Bolts.
At the start of a planet near
your ship, kill nearby enemies and get the Bolts. Then, kill yourself and
the enemies will reappear. Repeat this as many times as desired.
At Out Post 11, to get the Bolt
behind the fence, use the Bomb Glove on the rock.
Use your Suck Cannon when you
defeat an enemy and get them all.
Go to any planet except the one
with the Hoverboard challenge. Then, go to the planet with the Hoverboard
challenge. If you have already completed it and have obtained the board
upgrade (for tricks), there should not be a high score or time. Complete it
with a score of ten and a very long time. Then, play it again and get a
score of ten and a slightly shorter time. Each time, get the same trick
score and a better time. When your time is unbeatable, then get higher trick
scores. When both your trick score and time are unbeatable, leave the
planet, then return and start again. Each time you beat your score, you will
get 1000 Bolts.
This trick requires a
hoverboard and the Platinum Zoomerator. Enter the Hoverboard race in
Blackwater City. Win the race with 10 points. Keep winning the race, making
sure you have 10 more points than the last time you won the race. You will
gain 1,000 Bolts each time. If you find it too difficult to get the correct
amount of points, leave the planet and return to reset your high score to
zero.
Go to the hoverboard race on
Planet Rilgar and enter it. Do one trick and finish the race. It does not
matter what place you are in. You should end up with 1,000 more Bolts than
before. Repeat this as many times as desired, only getting 10 more points
each time.
Hint:
Gold Bolts: When you first begin the Tobruk Crater, Novalis level, go to your
right and travel through the waterway. Stop when you reach the room with
Hornet Robots. To your left are two walls with a narrow space between each
other. Wall jump up them to find the first Gold Bolt.
Behind your ship in the Tobruk
Crater, Novalis level and past the pond is an entrance to a cave. Enter the
cave. When you reach the large room with three circular pools, past the
first underwater tunnel, go to the very left of the ground at the two green
mushrooms. In front of them is the blocked entrance to the Gold Bolt. Note:
You will need the Devastator, Visibomb Gun, or R.Y.N.O. to destroy the
boulder blocking the entrance.
When you reach to the bridge
with the holes in the Tobruk Crater, Novalis level, go under it to the left.
You will see a long tunnel. Go through it and eventually you will see an
opening to a large cave with a Gold Bolt and lots of ammunition and regular
Bolts.
When you first start out in
Metropolis Kerwan, go behind where you are on the edge of the ledge. You
will need the Heli-Pack or Thruster-Pack to hover down into this secret
tunnel. You should notice ships are flying through the tunnel in the
building. You will find a Gold Bolt there.
When you are at the top of the
tallest tower in the fitness course in Metropolis Kerwan and just stopped
wall jumping, go forward until at the edge. Look slightly left and down. You
will see a part in a building where you can hover to. Do so, and you will
find a Gold Bolt.
When you come off the escalator
at the train station in Metropolis Kerwan, look to the right. You should see
a low stack of suitcases. Use your Heli-Pack to get over there. You will see
a few separate one stack suitcases. Use those or the boxes behind the stack
with the Gold Bolt to reach it.
At Outpost X11 Arida, when you
are at the place where you find the trespasser, look down over the edge. You
should see a slow-spinning piece of land. You will find a Gold Bolt there.
Go to Skid's agent at Outpost
X11 Arida until you are face-to-face with him. Then, turn southwest and have
the camera facing the exact direction as you are. In front of you behind
some items, there is a magnetic pathway that leads to ammo, regular Bolts,
and a Gold Bolt. Note: You must have the Magneboots in order to get up the
pathway.
Immediately when you are at the
place where you just jumped off the ledge on the ground leading to Skid's
agent at Outpost X11 Arida, just before you cross the mud leading to him,
turn 90 degrees to the right. You should see a land area where it does not
connect to any other land area (like an island). Go over there. You will
find a big truck to your left, with a Gold Bolt in the back.
Just past Skid at Outpost X11
Arida, there is a Gold Bolt behind a metal-fenced wall that is
indestructible to even the R.Y.N.O. There is a boulder blocking another
entrance. This one is destructible. Keep traveling forward, to the right
past two bridges and you will reach a dead end. From there, face the
direction where the Gold Bolt is located. The boulder should be there.
Destroy it, and the Gold Bolt is yours. Note: You must use the R.Y.N.O.,
Devastator, or the Visibomb Gun to destroy the boulder.
At Blarg Station Nebula G34,
after you have played as Clank and have completed the level, you can play
Clank's part as Ratchet. Go to the place where Clank first had to use his
Heli-Chopper. Look to the right. You should see a ledge. Use your Heli-Pack
or Thruster-Pack to get over there to find a Gold Bolt. Note: This must be
done as Ratchet.
At Blarg Station Nebula G34,
when you enter a large room where two weirdo's have just jumped off two
separate ledges, use your Heli-Pack or Thruster-Pack to get onto the ledge
on the right. Keep running forward until you see an opening to a cave.
Inside, you will find ammunition, regular Bolts, and a Gold Bolt.
At Logging Site Eudora, after
you get off your ship, keep moving forward to the right and jump of the
ledge. You will be at an area where there are four Cutter Robots. Look up to
your right, and you should see the Gold Bolt.
At Quark's HQ Umbris, at the
area where you just swing-zipped for the first time in the level, look to
the right. You will see a large round building. To the right of that is a
circular weight-triggered key with two others around the building. Step on
all of them to get lots of regular Bolts, and a Gold Bolt.
At Quark's HQ Umbris, when you
just come off of the ladder to the pools where you have to use your
Hydrodisplacer, go to the second pool. Go up the stairs, and to the right,
jump off. You should find a Gold Bolt.
At Blackwater City Rilgar, when
you just get off the elevator to the laser fence area, wait until you have
completed it. When you are finally done, go onto the sewer lid. When it is
in the air, turn in the opposite direction of the tank. You will see the
tops of the security fences. Go onto them to get to the Gold Bolt.
At Blackwater City Rilgar, get
to the part when racing against the flowing water in the long, large,
tunnel, and are just about to go onto the narrow stairway. Instead of taking
that route, look down into the overflowing pool to the right. Take that
tunnel to get a Gold Bolt. Note: You need the Hydro-Pack and O2 Mask to
reach it.
At Kogor Refinery Orxon, return
with the O2 mask and play Clank's part in the laboratories. Notice that it
is locked. Go to the part where it shows a turret blowing up two aircraft.
Take that entire route (through the bomb field, through the maze, across the
bridge over lava, and past the part where you need ten robots to unlock the
door showing you the turret blowing up two aircraft). After all of this, the
wall-fenced gate will be unlocked. Travel through the laboratories until you
see a room to the left with a lava-mouthed pit. Go up the stairs and go to
the ledge. You will see another ledge with some frogs in the background. Go
over there and keep traveling ahead until you reach a floor with yellow lava
and steam coming from underneath. On that floor, to the left ahead slightly,
you will see two narrow walls. Wall jump up them to find a Gold Bolt.
When your at the bomb field at
Kogor Refinery Orxon playing as Ratchet, you will see a sideways mouthed
pit. Use your Visibomb Gun to destroy that wall and other walls throughout
it until you reach the last one. When you are done, go to the other end to
get plenty of ammunition, regular Bolts, and the Gold Bolt.
At Fort Krontos Batalia, when
you first begin, keep going ahead until you reach the building where you
have to use your Trespasser to unlock the door. You can wall jump up the two
walls to find a Gold Bolt.
At Fort Krontos Batalia, when
you reach the end of the first long bridge where you have to screw in a
giant bolt, look to your right. You will see three different elevated land
areas. Look past that and you will see a ledge, which leads to a Gold Bolt.
Go to Planet Batalia to where
the first batch of one eyed robots are located. Look to your left and you
will see a place where you use your Tresspasser. Wall jump up the gap. You
will find a Gold Bolt.
In Gorda City, after you have
used your Grind Boots on the short bit, look up to see a Swingshot Beacon.
Use your Swingshot and you will find a Gold Bolt.
To get the Gold Bolt on the
last level (behind the blue force field), equip the Taunter and use it on
the bouncing alien. He will activate the button on the other side.
Go down the dock to where you
met the islander. Continue down the dock. After destroying all the fish,
face the waterfalls and go into the water. Swim around to the back of the
island. Face the island and from the back you will see a wall. Go to the far
right side of the wall where it touches the rocks. Swim through the rocks
and you will appear in a little cavern inside the island. Go up the steps.
At the top, power slam the large bolt. Cross the bridge, defeat all the
fish, and at the top of the waterfalls is the Gold Bolt.
On Planet Veldin, just after
when you are at the place with water and rocks, go to the next area. There
should be a little stand to the right. Hop up on it and look to the right.
You should see a platform. Jump to it and grind the rail. In the room is a
Gold Bolt.
On Planet Hoven, after leaving
the ship, get past the Gadgetron vendor and fight the metal dogs and also
the fire throwing robots. After they are all gone, stand near the trees that
are on the right-hand side. Go behind them and pass a building on the right.
Around that corner are about fifty metal dogs. After they are all gone you
will find a gadget which looks like oxygen tanks going up and down. Stand
behind it so that you are sandwiched with the wall then bounce up. Bounce to
the wall first. The Gold Bolt is up there.
On Planet Quarto, get to the
area where you become Giant Clank. Have that area on your right, and the
arena on your left. In front of you is where the Gold Bolt awaits. Stand
facing the key area wearing the thruster pack and carrying the Tesla Claw
after completing the level. It looks like a trespasser socket. Stand there,
face it and the door will open. There are also lots of boxes in the room.
After getting the Bolt behind
the electric fence on the last level, continue until you reach a section
where there is a circle of water. In front of you is a railed off section
above. You cannot jump up to it. To the left of that area is another section
of dogs and fire throwing robots. Get rid of them before you do anything
else. There is also a swingshot and some life in this area. Watch for the
big pit of lather in the middle. On the right hand side of the ledge is a
platform. Stand on or near it and look down to the right. You will see a
ledge. Fly down to it. When you are there you will see a grind rail section.
Get on it, and it takes you to the Gold Bolt.
At Gadgetron Site, Kalebo 3 ,go
to the grind area. Look for triggers that are circular-shaped and partially
green. Hit them and go to the area that had a blue fenced forcefield. It
should now be open. Grind there to get a Gold Bolt. Note: You must hit all
the triggers to get it.
At Jowai Resort, you will need
the propelled backpack for fast underwater swimming and the O2 mask. Go down
dock to first little island. Jump into the water and swim underwater around
the back side of island. You will see a tunnel on the left. Go in and swim
to a little cove with stairs. Go upstairs and use thruster pack to slam the
big bolt. Cross the bridge and fight your way to the Gold Bolt.
On Planet Gaspar there is a
Gold Bolt behind the place where you land. You cannot get it from here
because the ledge it is on is too high to reach. However if you go to the
end of the level to the exact place where you get the pilot's helmet and
look off the ledgem you will see a opening to a cave in the lava. It may
look like an island at first, but it is not. Fly down and defeat the enemies
in there. Go up the elevator at the end and the Gold Bolt will be there,
along with some ammunition.
Use the following steps to get
the Gemlik Oltanis Orbit Gold Bolt. Go to the room where the green goo rises
and you must jump across platforms to get to the other side. On the platform
that does not go under the goo, look to your left. There is a little tunnel
with a Gold Bolt inside.
Hint:
Easy weapon level ups: This trick requires the Shield Charger and whatever weapon you
want to level up. Go to Koros and go to the first big robot you see with the
Shield Charger on. Fire at it with the selected weapon until it dies. Then,
die and repeat the process until it is leveled up. You can do this with any
weapon.
Hint:
Defeating groups of enemies: When you have to kill a group of one health enemies, use the
Pyrocitor then just hold Circle and spin.
Hint:
Defeating Alien Queen: In the N34 level with the alien experiments, go to the path of
Blargs, Swarmers (killer toads) and Snappers (killer bugs). When you get to
the green room, the Alien Queen will appear. Use the Glove Of Doom. When the
Swarmers appear, get the Suck Cannon. Use the Bomb Glove on the snappers. If
you are out of ammunition, use the Omni Wrench. When killed, go to the open
door. Whack the Swarmers and buy the Grind Boots.
Hint:
Defeating Chairman Drek: Find the location where there are a lot of ships and flying
people with guns. Earlier, you drained a water pool. In the big plateau
where those enemies are located, is a tunnel leading to the left. Follow it
until you find a Hydro-Displacer filler. Fill it up, then go through the
tunnel and find a thing that makes Clank huge. Destroy everything in sight
and fight Chairman Drek. When you hurt him enough, an intermission sequence
will start. You will be small again. When this happens, follow him to fight
him Use the Tesla Claw, Blaster, and Devestator. After you hurt him enough,
he will blow up the little islands you fight on. When he does this, equip
the Swingshot and swing to the next island. After about two or three
islands, you will be on the Planet Buster Gun. Drek will push a button that
detonates it. Go to the middle and do the Rocket Slam thing to stop it.
Note: There are rails on the outside of the Planet Buster. Grind them and
pull out your Blaster for cheap beatings.
Make sure you have a R.Y.N.O.
when you fight Drek. After getting shrunk by Drek, Swingshot to the
platform. Drek's attacks will differ between Missiles, Shockwaves, Big
Mines, Gadgebots, and Flying Sticks. With these next three rounds, use your
R.Y.N.O. on Drek. With a few sets of R.Y.N.O. ammunition, you will go to the
next round. At the Plantbuster round, stay in the middle and blast Drek,
jumping over Shockwaves. Power Slam the button and do not stop firing.
Use the following trick to
defeat Drek without the R.Y.N.O. After you hit Drek a few with giant Clank,
follow Drek onto the island. Hit him with the Devastator untill he goes to
the second island. Follow Drek to the next island and hit him some more with
the Devastator. You may want to throw some mines out in case he also throws
mines. After he goes to the last island, hit him with the devastator Untill
you have no more ammunition. However, make sure you hit the abort button for
the laser (drek will hit the laser a couple times). Make sure your Telsa
Claw is full. When he shoots out robots and missiles, get out your Telsa
Claw. Try to hit Drek in the middle with the Telsa Claw. Doing this will
make his life go down more, and faster. When Drek shoots out robots and
mines, you can grind around the blue line around the arena to catch up to
him and get away from the robots. Do not waste time fighting the things that
Drek shoots out, because you will die easier.
When fighting Drek for the last
time in the laser arena yse the following steps. Note: You must have
purchased the Gagetron Tesla Claw. When Drek initiates the countdown, run to
the center and power slam the de-activation switch. Next, chase him as fast
as you can, firing either your Blaster or Devastator. If he fires missiles,
dodge them by running in small zigzags. If he spawns little one hit enemies,
jump over them (while firing). The fire waves will take care of them later.
If he drops mines, equip the Tesla Claw and continue to fire. When you have
removed approximately one block of life, he will drop three or four fire
rings. Jump these while firing short bursts of Blaster fire. Continue this
strategy until he reactivates the timer. Then, just like before, de-activate
it. Repeat the previous steps until small green teeth-like things start
falling all around. Avoid these, as they will explode upon contact. At this
point, go all out with the Tesla Claw chasing Drek wherever he goes. When
his life is at zero, watch the intermission sequence and power slam the
final switch. Then, watch the ending sequence.
When you are fighting Drek, the
main weapons to use are your Blaster Gun, Devastators, Drone Glove, and
maybe the Glove Of Doom. When you start, just use your Blaster Gun to shoot
him at a close distance. Make sure to jump whenever he throws the Wave Bomb.
It will not take long for him to move on to the next platform. Next, you
will be close to out of Blaster Gun ammunition, so use the Devastators.
Remember to jump over the waves here as well. During the final platform, you
first need to deactivate the laser. When you do this, Drek will charge at
you. Use your Thrusters to shoot backwards. Thrust all the way to the outer
rim. You will notice that the outer rim is actually a grind rail. When you
get to this, he will not attack. Take this opportunity to attack him with
any Devastators or Blaster ammunition. He will drift off and begin to fire
mines and small drones. At this point you are still on the grind rail. Use
your Drone Glove just in case one of the Drek Drones tries to attack. Once
he starts to fire the Wave Bomb, start moving to the center of the platform.
Once you are there, equipment boxes will begin to appear. Gather new
equipment while still defending yourself and jumping over any Wave Bombs. If
you get nervous or are low on energy, make a run for the outside rim. It is
difficult for them to attack you here. Drek cannot even get his rockets on
you. Once you are fully equipped again, you can go in for another attack.
Once Drek's energy starts to fall past a certain point, he will go for the
detonator again. Watch for this. Once he has about two or three bars
remaining, he will start to fire Blasts at you. Theses are difficult to
dodge at times. Try using the thrusters to get away from them. Once you
weaken him further after this, he will begin to shoot out little mine-like
green weapons. These are not very harmful if you use the Drone Glove.
Note: You will need about
14,000 Bolts in case you die. If you do not have this amount of Bolts, step
on the little warper across from the Gadgetron Vender and go to different
worlds to get them. Also, put your Devastator in your Quick Select. The
Giant Clank part of the battle is easy. Just punch him frequently and use
the Charged Power Ball by pressing Triangle. When you return as
Ratchet, use the Swingshot to follow Drek. When you get there, immediately
take out your Devastator and repeatedly shoot Drek. The only time that you
should slow down on your shooting is when he starts to shoot missiles at the
ground. When he moves to the next platform, you will most likely be low on
Devastator ammunition. Take out the PDA that you obtained from
"Steve" and buy more ammunition for the Devastator. Repeat this
until you get to the platform with the Deplanetizer. At this point, stop the
Deplanetizer from shooting, and when Drek tries to hurt you by chasing after
you, rocket away from him by running and pressing the R1 + Square
until you reach the outer rim, at which point you will see a blue railing.
Jump on it and you will grind away from Drek and not get hurt. Then, repeat
until Drek sends out the giant Gadgebots. Take out your Pyrocitor and kill
them by spinning in a circle if they surround you. Continue to use the same
tactic to take out Drek. When he starts using his laser (when he has two or
three sections of health remaining), run back and forth so that you will not
get hit. Do not use the Devastator when this happens, as more than likely
you will get hit. By using this tactic, you should be able to defeat Drek.
Hint:
Defeating the Snaglebeast: While the Snaglebeast is doing the "sonic wave", get
close enough so that your blaster shows the green circle. Jump the orange
things, and when he stops, fire your blaster until he stars to hit the
ground to cause that wave. Run out of its range and repeat steps until he
dies. If you run out of ammunition, use same trick but with the Glove Of
Doom.
Dodge the Snagglebeast's
shockwaves and fire lasers. Shoot him with the Blaster until a red shield
appears around him. He cannot be hurt while this shield is up. He will now
follow you when you run. Run across a bridge. The Snagglebeast will follow.
When he steps on the bridge, it will break and he will fall into the lava.
Note: You can continue to use the same bridge, even if it is already broken.
You only have to do this about three times and the Snagglebeast will be
defeated.
Hint:
Completing the Qwaktastic Challenge: Equip the V2 Quack-O-Ray and run around in circles with Circle.
Put the shielded charger on if needed. When you get 50 and 100, pull out
your most powerful weapon (V5 Decimator) and kill the Bosses.
Hint:
Magnet Ratchet: When you knock an enemy of a cliff of some sort, their bolts will
return to you.
Hint:
Magnetic Wrench: Note: This also works with the Vacuum Gun. Perform a Comet Strike
at far away Bolts. If the wrench passes near them, it will attract the Bolts
to you. This is especially useful around water or Bolts that are across
chasms.
Hint:
Gold Weapon store: After completing the game, go to Planet Novalis. There will be a
warp pad next to the Gadgetron Vendor. Enter it to access the Gold Weapon
store.
Hint:
Gold weapons: When you have at least four gold and 20,000 normal Bolts, go to
Gemlik base. Go to the flight hanger where a large tower is located. Enter
it, and wall jump to a platform that takes you to the top. You will find
some gold weapons. The blaster is a good first choice. You can return at any
time in the game.
Go to the Gemlik Base. Fight
your way to get the purple jet. Note: You will have to defeat Captain Qwark
to get it. Go to the "outlook" and make sure the gap is filled.
Wall jump to the elevator platform. Hit the button. You will go to the top
of the "outlook". Once there, you will see gold weapons before you
would normally get them by defeating Supreme Executive Chairman Drek. The
prices are:
Suck Cannon: 4 gold Bolts and
10,000 regular Bolts
Glove Of Doom: 4 gold Bolts and 10,000 regular Bolts
Blaster: 4 gold Bolts and 20,000 regular Bolts
Pyrocitor: 4 gold Bolts and 30,000 regular Bolts
Bomb Glove: 4 gold Bolts and 20,000 regular Bolts
After you defeat Drek the first
time, you will get a message that asks if you want to timewarp to just
before you defeated Drek or if you want to start a new game with all of your
weapons, Bolts, Gold Bolts and some of your gadgets. Choose to start a new
game. When you get to Novalis, at the very beginning of the level there will
be a warp pad. Step on it and it will warp you to the Gold Weapons room.
This is an easier way to get to the Gold Weapons.

Hint:
Run, stop, jump: While you are running forward with a backpack, hold R2 to
come to a halt. While still holding R2, press X. This is much
fast than walking.
Hint:
Hit mines without losing health: When you are on the grind rails, you can hit the mines with your
ratchet and will not lose any health.
Hint:
Avoid mutant fish: On Pokitaru, when the resort owner is driving the boats go to the
very edge of the second boat. If done correctly, the fish will stay in the
water.
Hint:
Walk through lasers: On Hoven, when you go behind your ship to find an item, you do
not have to deactivate the lasers. You can just walk through them.
Hint:
Hoverboard shortcut: At Kalebo 3, in the hoverboard races, you will see three rings
near the finish line. Go through all three to unlock a useful shortcut. You
will recognize them because they beep like the Tripads from Umbris. If you
grind the rail, you can see the track below you.
At the hoverboarding in Kelebo
3, when you reach the first big ramp over the water, make sure you have a
full boost meter. Hold Square when you jump off of the ramp then jump
onto the platform at the right-hand side. Then, pass through all the rings
without falling off of the platform. At the end of the platform there is a
small ramp with a tunnel at the other side. Keep Square held and jump
off of the ramp and into the tunnel. It will take you to the big ramp just
after the stack of big metal blue boxes. Note: If you fall off the platform
in the tunnel or by the rings, you will be teleported just after the ramp
you jumped off on the normal part of the track.
At Kerwan/Gadgetron site, on
the first big jump over the water in the hoverboard racing, have a full
boost meter and hold Square. Then, jump to the little platform at the
right of the track and pass through all three rings without falling off the
platform. At the end of the platform there is a small ramp and a tunnel that
has opened. Jump into the tunnel and it will take you to the big ramp just
after the big stack of metal blue boxes. Note: If you fall off any of the
small platforms you will be teleported just after the big jump that you
jumped off on the original part of the track.
Hint:
Hidden items: Once in the ice level, find your way to the large fortress. Stand
directly in front of the fortress door and turn to the right. Walk straight
ahead and search the large bushes. You should find a large cave, in which
you can find all kinds of things.
Hint:
Restore health: Get in the ship and fly to another planet to get full health.
Hint:
Box breaking: When you find a big stack or group of boxes, pull out the Taunter
and press Circle. Many, if not all, of the boxes will break. This is
much faster than breaking one or two boxes with one swing of the OmniWrench.
Hint:
Hold six Shield Chargers: To hold six Shield Chargers, use one and while it is still on,
buy another.
Hint:
Easy battles in Blackwater City: When at a place with the blob monsters and a door with the
enemies that shoot green gas behind it, open the door. The blobs and other
enemies will fight each other. You only have to fight the one that survived.
Hint:
Easy path on Planet Veldin: When on Planet Veldin (where you face Dreg), at the beginning
when you arrive use your Devestator and Visibomb Guns in first person mode.
Aim one of your guns at the flying people in the air, the tanks, or the
flying machines to make a clear path to go through.
Hint:
Easy battle arena: When you are big Clank, you can go into a battle arena. If you
jump off the side before the battle arena, you can fight in it without
losing life.
Hint:
Matrix-style effect: When you are playing at Captain Qwark's fitness course, go to the
second island. Go to the end of the first wall where the platforms start.
Jump forward and you will hover in mid-air. Press Left or Right
and you will glide in that direction.
Hint:
Easy Bolts (demo version): When you are in Metropolis, immediately before you jump onto the
train, turn around and go behind the suitcases. There will be a lot of boxes
(2,000 Bolts). When you are done collecting the Bolts, go back to the train
and jump off. You will die, but will return to the beginning of the train.
This can be repeated as many times as desired.
Glitch:
Explore Hoverboard race track: In Blackwater City, approach the person that submits you into the
Hoverboard race while using the Hologuise. Press Triangle to enter
the race with the Hologuise on. You will be able to explore the racetrack on
foot, without other competitors instead of racing through the track on a
Hoverboard.
Note: While doing this, you can
go to the jump with the platform in the air with a lot of boxes. Take out
your Taunter and press Circle to break the boxes on top of that
platform and bring the Bolts down to you. If you press Circle, you
can get an unlimited number of bolts.
Glitch:
Go under Blackwater City's water: Take the taxi when the Hologuise is on. Then, walk of the side
towards the lady for the races. You will fall off the side and under the
water. Note: You must be wearing the Hologuise when you walk off the side.
Glitch:
Leave level boundary at Kogor Refiniery Orxon: At Kogor Refinery Orxon, after lowering the platform at the
beginning that takes you up to the ledge where you can go to the mine field
(the place where you saw the turret destroy the two robots as Clank), and
the laboratories, go into the lab. Follow the path until you reach the part
with the small platform that rises and falls with a hissing noise. Look to
you right to see a large stack of boxes. Destroy all but one. Then, do a
wall jump on the black wall. You should wall jump to a purple pipe that you
can do another wall jump on. If done correctly, you should jump through the
black wall onto a small gray platform outside of the level. You can walk
through various places in the wall behind you, and end up in some strange
places, including halfway through the floor.
Glitch:
Go under Pokitaru City's water: This trick requires the O2 Mask. Fly to Pokitaru City, then go
underwater and swim near where the sand is all white (close to where you
start). Try to swim down into it, even though you cannot, then swim back up.
You should fall underwater and go through the white sand. You will stay
there for about thirty seconds before dying.
Glitch:
Unlimited health for giant Clank: Defeat the helicopters and mechs for the scientist. Then,
transform into giant Clank and jump off the edge.
Glitch:
Floating Blarg: If you have a Golden Morph-O-Ray and are on the ice planet, find
a helicopter with a Blarg in it. Use the Morph-O-Ray. Instead of turning
into a chicken and falling, it will freeze in mid-air and stay there.
Glitch:
Floating Sandsharks: Go to the right of your ship and make it all the way to the first
elevator that takes you to the part where you use your Swingshot. Get on the
elevator and wait for some Sandsharks to hop aboard and try to bite you.
Note: you may want to jump to resist attacks. Once the sharks are on the
elevator, jump into the air, which will trigger the elevator to go up. The
Sandsharks will come to the top with you, but will go underground when you
walk off. After walking off, stay close to the elevator and you will see
Sandsharks floating in the air. If you shoot them with the blaster, the
bolts will appear from the ground.
Glitch:
Swing without Swingshot: If you are on a yellow Swingshot Holder, press Start, go
to "Weapons", select any weapon, then press Triangle once
to return to the main start menu. Before you get off the start menu, hold Circle.
Keep Circle held and press Triangle. You will now be swinging
without a Swingshot. After you jump off the yellow Swingshot holder, your
weapon will appear. This can be useful if you must go onto a Swingshot
Holder only to find monsters at the other side.
Glitch:
Nothing in turret: On Planet Batalia, go to the turret and defeat the ships. Then,
go around to the back of the turret to find some steps. Go up the steps and
jump in the turret. Center the camera and look around. There is nothing
inside for you to fire from.
Glitch:
Inverted controls: Enable the "Levels are mirrored" cheat. Use the
Spiderbot Glove and the horizontal controls for it will be inverted.
Glitch:
Robot statue: On the Metroilis Infobot, the statue on top of Al's Roboshack is
silver. However, when you actually see it the statue is yellow.
Glitch:
Submersible weapon: Fly to Kelibo 111 and shoot your Visbomb into the water. This
will enable you to fly around under the water, using the Visbomb.
