Hint:
Refill health and ammunition: Start any challenge, then immediately quit.
Hint:
Refill health: If you are nearly dead on the battlefield, find a area where the
opponent cannot hit you with their weapons. Make sure that they are nearby
(for example, on top a pillar). Using the Holo Shield Glove (version 5),
shoot out some barriers. The Shield Barriers will suck health from enemies
and give them to you. This is very helpful in tight situations.
Hint:
Easy weapon upgrades: If you have weapons that have not been upgraded at all, you can
easily upgrade them by going to worlds with harder enemies. Use the weapons
on them, and do not care about getting killed. Repeat this, and you can get
upgraded weapons easier.
Hint:
Map O Matic: Complete every Galactic Ranger level to get a Trophy and a Map O
Matic. The new and improved Map O Matic shows the locations of Crystals,
Gadgetrons, and secrets.
Hint:
Easy Bolts: To do this, you must have the Flux/Splitter to at least version 3
and the "Scorpio" (or "Naptime") challenge. Go to
Annihilation Nation and enter the Deathcourse. Choose "Scorpio"
(or "Naptime"). Once the challenge starts, equip the Flux/Splitter
rifle and enter sniper mode (L1), but do not zoom in. Then, press
Circle to fire until Scorpio dies. Do this until you have the desired amount
of Bolts.
At the command center where you
have to destroy the Bioblitorater, at the beginning of the level you will
see lots of tables, chairs, and umbrellas. When you see them, use your jump
attack (Jump + Circle) and everything will break. You will get
about 5,000 Bolts. You can do this many times, as the objects all reappear
when you die. There are also other areas in the level where you can do this.
If you are far in the game and
need Bolts, go to Planet Kornos. If you have the Bolt Grabber, go though the
stage smashing the ground around the buildings of glass.
Go to the room on the Starship
Pheonix where the Q-Force is located. If you can catch up with the monkey
that runs around the room and hit him with your wrench, you will get 20 to
30 Bolts.
Complete any Vid Comic after
hurrying through it and grabbing any tokens that are not out of your way. If
you are already in challenge mode, then this will result in a large number
of Bolts.
You will need a Quack O Ray.
Also, you must be done with the Crash Site level. First, go to the crash
site and use the Quack O Ray to turn all the weaker enemies to ducks. For
the big floating ones, use a Disk Launcher (level 5) or the Bouncer (the
higher the level the faster). You will get at least 10,000 Bolts each time
you do this. Note: To survive this at least three times, you will need at
least 80 Nanotech and the armor that costs 250,000 Bolts. To bring the
enemies back after you are done, go to another planet then return.
Hint:
Easy Crystals: When you are in the Sewer, you can climb up to an area using
Gravity Boots. This area is a metal slide, and cannot be entered without
Gravity Boots. You will then be at a new area of pipes, where there are more
Crystals.
An easy way to get the crystals
in the sewers is by using the Quack-O-Ray to kill the enemies.
Hint:
Skill points: In Search For Sunken Treasure, blow up 40 underwater crates on
Aquatos.
You have to kill Scorpio at
Annihilation Nation (Bash The Bug) and 20 enemies at Blackwater City (Bash
The Party) with only your wrench for these skill points. The easiest way to
do this is by going into first person mode, available by putting it into the
quick select screen. In first person mode you can dodge and throw your
wrench at the same time.
At the place where you fight
Scorpio at Annihilation Nation, kill him with the wrench to get the Bash
That Bug skill point.
In You Break It, You Win It
(Koros), destroy all of the boxes and lawn furniture.
In Stay Sqweaky Clean, walk the
path of death without getting hurt on Florlana.
In Strive For Arcade
Perfection, get 100% Qwark tokens in all Vid Comics. Note: This also
includes health upgrades.
In Beat Helga's Best Time,
complete the training course in less than 50 seconds. Put on the thruster
pack, and at the end zoom in the door. Also, this needs to be done the
second time and over.
In Turn Up The Heat, get
Infernox armor at the armor vendor.
In Monkeying Around, restore
Qwark's memory. Then. after you get the disguise, go back to the Phoenix.
Skrunch is running around. Hit him to get the skill point.
Hint:
Defeating Bioblitorator: First, climb into the hover plane and shoot the Bioblitorator. It
will shoot rockets at you. If your ship explodes, you will drop to a turbo
slider. Take the right bridge to another hover plane to continue shoting
him. Note: Take the left bridge the second time and Quark sometimes will get
in the way.
Hint:
Defeating Courtney Gears: Once the battle starts, take out the N60 Storm/N90 Hurricane and
kill her backup dancers. Eventually, she will appear in a go-go cage around
the stage. Shoot her while dodging the laser things until more backup
dancers appear. When Ratchet depletes two thirds of her health, she will
step onto the stage and attack you as she did before, only doing the same
attack as the backup dancers in addition. Shoot her, avoiding everything she
tosses at you and you will win.
Hint:
Defeating Giant Klunk: Have the Annihilator/Decimator to at least version 4 and blast
away at Giant Klunk. If he actually gets the time to attack, it will be with
an energy bomb. Just avoid it and the shockwaves and continue firing until
you kill him.
Hint:
Defeating large swamp worm: When on Planet Florana, you will encounter a large swamp worm. To
defeat it easily, you need the Plasma Whip. Equip the whip and face the
worm. Just as he moves his head back to strike, attack him. He will then
attempt to attack you again. Repeat the move until the worm is dead.
Hint:
Defeating Nefarious: The recommended arsenal to do this is the Multi Blade Gun,
Decimator, Spitting Hydra Rift Ripper, Mini Turret Glove, Max Nanotech,
Gagatron PDA, and 200,000 Bolts. In the first round, shoot Nefarios with the
Multi-Blade Gun until one quarter of his health is gone. Note: If you run
out of ammunition, use the PDA to buy more. In the second round, start by
using the Decimator to defeat the two giant Ninja robots. Then, take out the
robot troops. Nefarious will shoot a bad magic ray at you. Get under his
forcefield bubble and he will begin flying away. Chase him and defeat the
other giant ninja robots and troops. You will then reach a circular
platform. Nefarious will shoot bad magic rockets, and there will be targets
on the ground. Get under him. He will deactivate the bubble and drop down.
Repeat shooting him with the Decimator and the Multi-Blade Gun. Repeat this
until he is defeated. Note: Four ranger robots will appear before the
circular platform to help destroy the rest of the troopers.
Hint:
Defeating Quark: Take out the N60 Storm and fire. When he throws his boomerang,
move along with it (in a circular motion). After one quarter of his life is
gone, tribesmen will appear. Kill them and continue firing until he is
knocked out.
Hint:
Defeating The Momma Tyrranoid: Get the N60/N90 and fire away, dodging her swipes. When she
latches onto the ceiling, dodge the lasers and shoot the turret. After half
of her health gone, she will shoot missiles onto the ground. The fight will
go into her point of view. Take out the Plasma/Quantum Whip and run for your
life. When you reach an alcove, jump into it and kill any noids that attack
you. When you exit the alcove, repeat the same process and blast her with
the N60.The turret on her back will now launch missiles now -- be careful.
Hint:
Defeating Snow Dan: To get to the Snow Dan, go to Quark's Hideout. Find the laser
"turret" that spins 360 degrees. On the right there is another
wall. Wall jump up that wall.. Up at the top is a "Snow Dan" or
snow man. Kill it, and you will get a skill point.
Hint:
Defeating Bosses: As soon as the mini-Boss or Boss battle starts, throw a number of
Megaturret Gloves, which will deploy into little machine-gun turrets
(upgraded to rocket launchers). If you have six to seven turrets
simultaneously shooting, you will defeat the Boss easily. The turrets are
also very helpful in the many arena battles.
Hint:
Annihilation Nation: Titanium Bolts: In a Gauntlet challenge, after you cross the floating platforms
with the green lasers, climb the first ledge and do a high jump. You should
grab on the ledge. Pull yourself up and collect the Titanium Bolt.
In a challenge with the name
cremation in it, after you get a destination from the second
direction-choosing booth (where you step on a switch and an arrow points and
opens a door), eliminate the enemies. Then, climb on the platform that the
laser-wielding enemies were standing on. Use this to jump to the platform
with the Titanium Bolt.
Hint:
Annihilation Nation: Defeating the big robot: To defeat the big robot that shoots fire easily, jump over the
flames by doing air rolls over them. When you land, shoot it. Keep on doing
this to win.
Hint:
Annihilation Nation: Easy win: Note: You must have the Rift Inducer and Quack-O-Ray. Go to the
challenge Sleep Inducer. Enter and win. Then, go to the Other White Meat. As
the camera zooms in on the arena, press Fire. A rift should appear
and take away about half of the first wave. This trick works in any
challenge that uses limited ammunition. Get all the enemies in a group, then
jump over them a lot. They should swing at and kill each. When one enemy
remains, kill them with your weapon. If they take more one hit, get them
close to an edge and shoot them off.
Hint:
Holostar Studios: Titanium Bolts: Return after you have obtained the Gravity Boots. Climb up the
path only accessible with the boots next to your ship. After you fight
through the waves of Thyrranoids and get to a room with a straight and long
Gravity Boot accessible shaft facing vertically, climb up it. Avoid the
waves of falling Tyrranoids by moving in a diagonal pattern up the shaft.
When you reach the top, get the bolt, then take the teleporter back to your
ship
When playing as Ratchet, after
you reach the room that is accessed by a Hacker challenge locked elevator,
defeat the enemies. Then, go to the other end of the room and turn around.
In the left set of bleachers is a Titanium Bolt.
Hint:
Planet Aquatos: Titanium Bolt: Return to the beginning of the level after you have received the
Hacker. In the first or second multi-door hallway (if you hit the first
ocean opening, you have gone too far), use the Hacker to open the door. Ride
the elevator to the Titanium Bolt room.
Hint:
Planet Dax: Hacker Wrench: Go to the hallway in the facility (where the Soldier and Guard
Bots are located) with the squad of Soldier Bots, two sharpshooters, an
Inferno Crate, and a Hacker Terminal. Get the Inferno power and go to the
Hacker Terminal. Then, when you press Triangle to use the hacker,
Ratchet will stick one of his wrenches in the terminal, like the Hacker.
Hint:
Quark's Hideout: Easy experience: Go to the part where you find Quark. Take a weak weapon and kill
all the robots. Leave the level and keep coming back to get max leveled
weapons.
Hint:
Starship Phoenix: Titanium Bolt: Complete the "Nerves Of Titanium" challenge.
Hint:
Starship Phoenix: Cheaper Infernox Armor: To get the Infernox Armor for 200,000 rather than 2,000,000
bolts, attempt to fight Nefarious but fail. Go back to Starship Phoenix, and
it will be at the armor vendor for only 200,000 bolts.
Hint:
Starship Phoenix: Easy bolts: In the room where all of the Q-Force is found, the small monkey
will run around the room. If you eventually catch up to him, hit him with
your wrench. You will get about 20 to 30 bolts.
Hint:
Zeldrin Starport: At the Zeldrin Starport, do not turn left and go straight. You
will probably need the Flux/Splitter Rifle, Agents of Doom/Dread, Nitro
Launcher/Eruptor, and the N60/N90 Hurricane. Keep following the path.
Eventually, you will find the Bolt Grabber V2.
Hint:
Challenge mode: Mega weapons: When you land on Florana, enter the vendor. You can now purchase
"Mega" versions of weapons you upgraded to level 5. These
"Mega" weapons are at level 6 and can be upgraded to level 8, at
which time it becomes an "Omega" weapon.
Hint:
Challenge mode: RY3NO: After you land on Florana, you can purchase the the RY3NO. This
weapon can be upgraded to level 5. However, there is no "Mega"
version of this weapon.
Hint:
Challenge mode: Infernux Armor: Once you arrive on the Starship Phoenix, enter the armor vendor.
You can purchase the Infernux Armor for 2,000,000 Bolts. This armor reduces
damage by 80% This is very useful, as the enemies are much stronger now.
This will also give you a Stat Point.
Hint:
Challenge mode: Increase Nanotech: You can now increase your Nanotech to 200. This is not as useful
as it sounds, as many enemies can reduce your Nanotech by at least 50 with
one hit, even while wearing the Infernux Armor.
Hint:
Challenge mode: Easy weapon upgrade: Use the following trick to bring your weapons up to level 5 so
you can purchase the "Mega" versions. As soon as challenge mode
begins, you will land on Veldin. Press Start and go to the Weapons
menu. Select any weapon you have that is not level 5. Continue to play
through Veldin, killing every enemy you can with this weapon. The experience
of the weapon will rise faster than usual. This is because your enemies are
stronger and your weapons are considered level 1 at this point. When you
reach the dropship, jump off into the canyon. You will die and reappear at
the start of the level, and all the enemies will have respawned. Continue
this process as many times as desired to reach level 5. The Plasma Coil and
Bouncer are the most difficult to upgrade this way; board the dropship and
continue the game normally. Those two weapons are easily upgraded once you
reach Annihilation Nation.
Hint:
Qwarktastic challenge: Complete the game then get the Infernal Armor, the RY3NO upgraded
to level 5,. the Shield Generator to level 8, and the Weapons PDA with lots
of bolts. Use the RY3NO every round. When you run out of ammunition, buy
more with the PDA. Only use the Shield Generator when you need it. It also
helps to have all your weapons to the maximum level of 8.
For the Qwarktastic battle, use
the V5 Quackinator and you can complete it in ten to fifteen minutes. For
the Bosses. just use the Annihilator and the Turret Gun.
Hint:
RY3NO faults: The RY3NO is a very good weapon when you are fighting Bosses and
in crowds. If you plan on using the weapon on Bosses, do not upgrade it to
V5. If you do, then it is only powerful in crowds.
Hint:
Weapon upgrades: Every weapon in the game changes its name when you upgrade it to
level 5.
Glitch:
Unlimited Inferno Armor: When you get the Inferno Power! Boost, pause game play and go to
"Skins". Then, select "Current Armor". You will then
have that armor on you without it disappearing after the time runs out.
Note: The armor will not be flaming. If you turn of the power when you are
done playing, the armor will be gone. The best place to find the armor boost
is in Annihation Nation.
Glitch:
Freeze game: During the battle with Dr. Nefarious while he is floating in his
bubble, rangers will show up. Before going to the second circular area and
on the bridge, take out the Flux Rifle and scope Nefarious. Shoot and the
game will freeze.
Glitch:
Fall forever: Jump on a piece of scenery that is in a corner or other area
where you cannot get off. The game will keep you suspended there, falling
forever.
Glitch:
Floating banana: In any part of the game when you control Clank (with Scrunch, the
monkey) only, shoot a banana somewhere that Scrunch can get it and you can
get to him. When Scrunch picks up the banana, punch him. This will make
Scrunch react, but the banana will not move at all. Not even gravity will
move the it. The banana will just float there forever.
Glitch:
Hoven Gorge: Walk on walls in the sky: This can only be done in online mode and requires a second
player. Behind the Blue base there are three pipes. Let your friend get
between the left pipe and the pipe in the middle. Have your friend move the Analog-stick
to keep running. Jump into your friend and move your Analog-stick
slightly to the left, far enough until you can stand on a piece of ground
that you are not supposed to reach. This may require some of time. Find your
way over the pipes. You will end up by a large green pipe. Go as far as you
can to the right and walk against the corner. If you stand correctly, you
will get up. After a while, jump. You will know when to do this, because you
will fall down if you walk the big green pipe. Jump on the big green pipe
and go to the left or right. Make sure you have got a Flux Rifle. Find a
place and snipe anyone from that location.
Glitch:
Planet Joba: Walk on invisible platform: When at the pad where you get the Clank upgrade, fly up and turn
around instantly, so that instead of going to the games you will go up a
tower. Land on the slopping side of the tower. You can then walk up and get
on a invisible platform above the tower. Sometimes when you walk off you
will stay in the air before falling down.
Glitch:
Metropolis: Fall into base: This can only be done in online mode. Stand on the teleport
platform which takes you to the inside of your base. Do not enter the base.
Instead, press Triangle and immediately activate the Chargeboots. You
will still be outside. Go to the stairs and look on your left. Jump into the
building where your base is standing. You will not die. Keep pressing Forward
and you will fall into your base. You can do the teleport platform trick on
your base then go to the base of your enemy. Jump into the building where
the enemy's base is standing on. You will fall into the base. Note: Do not
overuse this trick or other players will become angry.
Glitch:
Hide in a rock: Join or create an online game at Outpost X12. Then on either
team's side, walk up the magna-track on the right side of the base (as you
are looking at the base). Next, jump to the platform that has the Nanotech
on it and place your reticule on the rock that is directly beside the magna
track. From there, Charge-Boot into the rock. Note, you cannot shoot certain
weapons through the rock, and you will die when you exit it. However, no
weapons can hit you inside the rock.
Glitch:
Magic feet: Activate the Charge Boots and put them on "old school"
Ratchet. It will look like Ratchet is blasting off on his own.
Glitch:
Floating wrench: When on the Starship Phoenix, take the transport that goes to the
control room. While it is activated, turn to the side and look closely. You
can see your wrench floating away from your body.
Glitch:
Big-headed Gadgebots: When you are Clank with the Big Head mode cheat enabled, as soon
as you go up to a Gadgebot, hold Triangle. Then, select
"Follow". The Gadgebot's head will grow as it starts walking
toward you.
Glitch:
Original skin: After you defeat Dr. Nefarious, you will see all the game
characters in a theater, watching a Secret Agent Clank movie. No matter what
you did to Ratchet during the game (different skins, big/small head modes,
etc.) it will show Ratchet as he was in the very beginning of the game.
Please
select the first letter of the game's title below. If the word
"The" appears at the start of a title, ignore it and search for
the second word in the title:
