in the Megacorp Games
The Impossible Challenge consists of 60 rounds. Every
five rounds it switches between normal and cagematch modes, and
the very last round is against the Megapede. In order to win,
do not attempt it until you are very strong and have learned how
to strafe expertly. Try doing it when you have reached the end
of the game and have all or most of the weapons (and have upgraded
them).. Also have your experience meter at least three quarters
full so that you can level up near the end of the match. The instant
nanotech fillup will help tremendously. Reserve your ammunition,
especially the Megarocket Tube (Minirocket Tube upgrade) as you
will need it against Megapede. Use the Shield Charger when you
are low on life and the Megaturret Glove (Miniturret Glove upgrade),
Heavy Lancer (Lancer upgrade), and MiniNuke (Gravity Bomb upgrade)
for dealing with enemies when the wrench just will not do. Your
prize for winning is 200,000 Bolts and a skill point.
Use the following tactics to complete the Impossible Challenge
in Challenge Mode. Know that every five rounds the mode of fighting
switches to on the ground to cage match, with a battle with Megapede
on the 60th round (the last one). To get through this challenge,
start the match with your Nanotech upgrade bar at at least two
thirds or three quarters full. The battles will increase the bar
and you will get a helpful health increase somewhere in the match.
Most enemies should be taken care of in their own way. Try to
keep your Ultra Heavy Bouncer (or any other version of the Bouncer)
and your Ultra MegaRocket Cannon (or any other version of the
Mini-Rocket Tube) ammunition available. Do not squander it --
you need them for Megapede. If you do not have the Ultra MegaRocket
Cannon or Ultra Meteor Gun's Lock-On Mods, get them. They are
vital for a smooth battle with Megapede. In the battles before
Megapede, you will encounter purple pig-like beasts. When they
charge at you, get near the edge and jump when they get close.
They will fall off the edge. When they approach you slowly, get
near the edge, jump over them, and hit them in the lava with your
wrench. Use the Black Sheepinator or the Sheepinator on the small
enemies (it is recommended that you upgrade the Sheepinator before
the battle). The larger enemies will be drawn to them like the
Decoy Glove. If they are black sheep, they will explode and hurt
them. Use a version of the Seeker Gun or a version of the Lava
Gun to blast the larger robots and the gladiators. When those
run out, use a version of the Lancer, a version of the Plasma
Coil, or a version of the Tesla Claw, but do not use a version
of the Multi-Star -- you cannot move when shooting it. When you
get to Megapede, if you have any remaining, lock onto him with
the Meteor Gun and blast him. A piece of his body will fall off.
Immediately switch to the Heavy Bouncer and shoot the body piece.
Not only will this kill the body piece, but it will clear the
field of the grenades that Megapede drops. When all his body pieces
are off except for three, take out the Ultra MegaRocket Cannon,
lock on, and blast him. After his health diminishes, the three
pieces will fall off. Equip the Shield Charger and whip their
butts with the Heavy Bouncer. In normal mode, the Impossible Challenge
is worth 200,000 Bolts, but in Challenge Mode it is worth 2,000,000
bolts.
Kill enemies easier in battle arenas
To kill enemies easier in battle arenas, go to the
middle of the arena and put upgraded turrets around you. You should
win every time, and sometimes not get hit.
Canal City: Platinum Bolt
After you go up the first elevator and across the bridge,
you will see a billboard. Break it, and you will see the bolt.
Feltzin System: Nanotech boost
When you are just about to start a mission in the Feltzin
System, go straight. You will see an opening in the giant space
ship. Go inside and there should be a Nanotech boost somewhere
in it.
Feltzin System: Easy Raritanium
Note: This trick requires the Nuclear Detonation Device
(60 Raritanium) for your ship. On the Space Wasp mission in the
Feltzin System, fire your nuke so that at least about three Wasp
are not seen onscreen. If done correctly, you should see between
two and eleven pieces of Raritanium to pick up. If you repeatedly
restart after picking up the Raritanium, you can accumulate up
to 300 Raritanium within thirty minutes. After that, you should
not have to worry about digging up Raritanium on Planets Tabora
or Greblin. This can also be done on other space missions, as
on Planet Gorn.
Maktar Resort: Platinum Bolts
Take the path where the slot machines are located.
When you see a crane at the right, hop up to get a Platinum Bolt.
To get the next Platinum Bolt you must have Clank. At the Thugs
4 Less Jamming Array, there is a platform that is directly behind
and to the left of the limo. Use the boost jump and get up to
it. Then, use the jump thing to get the Platinum Bolt.
Note: You need Clank for this. There is a very difficult to find
Platinum Bolt that is not very hard to get. Go to Maktar Nebula
and go down the ramp until you see a large circular platform.
You will see a path in the middle, to the right, and to the left.
Take the one that is on the left. Walk past all the slot machines
then keep going until you take the elevator. Go up and continue
until you see a Space Limo. Hop in, and you will be under a hanging
ledge. Keep going to the left until you see a sort of ladder.
Hop up it. You will now be on a large platform. To your right
is a spotlight and an ammunition cube, if needed. Walk to the
edge of this platform and jump to the other. Be careful, as there
is a laser field in the chasm. Once on the next platform to your
right, you will see a wall. It is really another platform. Use
Clank to get up there (hold [R1] and double-tap [X]
and hold) and stand on top. You will see a sort of support with
a crane at the end. Walk to the other side of this support and
the Bolt will be there.
Maktar Resort: Winning the 300 shot
arena battle
Jump over all of the enemies and make them hit each
other. It is possible to win it with 200 shots remaining.
Megacorp Armory: Easy Bolts
This works best with the Box Breaker. Go to the Megacorp
Armory, then go up the first elevator immediately after the tour.
Smash the ground and get the Bolts, then go a little way up the
hallway. Smash those and get the Bolts. Keep doing this until
you get to the end, then jump over the side into the water. Do
this as many times as desired. You get between 1,000 to 1,500
Bolts each time.
Megacorp Armory: Help desk messages
Kill the tourists coming out of the bus. There will
be an unlimited number of tourists. You will get four different
messages from the help desk telling you to stop.
Planet Bolden : Nanotech boost
At the same place as Planet Todana is a Nanotech boost
that appears every other hour.
Go to the second crane, and in the second room there is a Trespasser
Lock. Use the Trespasser to open the door and get the Nanotech
boost.
Planet Domosal: Easy Bolts
Buy a special armor or weapon then go to Planet Domosal.
Before smashing every box in sight for Bolts, first jump on the
nearby railroad track for a continue point. Then after crushing
every box, you can jump off a ledge and all the boxes will respawn.
Every time you destroy the big stack of boxes on the Protopet
street, nearby you will get around 9,000 Bolts from them.
You will find lots of Protopets running around the streets. Go
down that street and equip a shield. Then take out the Sheepinator
and turn all the Protopets into sheep. While you are doing that,
quickly take out the Minirocket Tube and shoot down all the Extermibots
(the enemies with the lasers). Then, look at the end of the street.
There is a generator throwing out more Protopets. If you want
to keep trying to upgrade your Sheepinator, do not destroy the
generator; keep Sheepinating the Protopets. Note: The Protopets
usually quadruple themselves. Keep using the same weapons for
the same enemies as you go through. If you keep using the Sheepinator
on the Protopets as you go through, it will either upgrade or
it will be very close to being upgraded. If you do upgrade it,
it will turn into the Black Sheepinator, which will turn your
enemies into black sheep. Once the enemy has been turned into
a black sheep, it will hop up to other enemies and explode, which
will help you through this level if you get the Sheepinator upgraded
before you leave the level (they sometimes hop up to Extermibots
and explode). If you have been using the Minirocket Tube against
most or some enemies in other levels, you should be at least halfway
to upgrading it. If you go through this level and destroy all
the Extermibots with the Minirocket Tube, it should upgrade, or
be very close to being upgraded. If it is upgraded, it will turn
into the Megarocket Cannon, which will shoot four missiles instead
of one at an enemy. The Megarocket Cannon can destroy an Extermibot
in one shot. Note: Usually your shield will disappear after a
while; equip another shield on Ratchet, but only when you really
need it as there will be a lot of enemies that will be encountered.
Planet Domosal: Bolt Virus
Go to Planet Domosal and to Allgon City. At the start,
hit a light. It shold give you 84 Bolts. If it does not, keep
dying and hit it until you get 84 Bolts. When it does, go to where
the closest taxi is located then head into the Protopet infested
streets. Use the Charge Boots to get to the platform with the
ladder quickly. When you climb up, kill the robots and use the
Swingshot. On the second Swingshot target do not land on the platform.
Instead, get as close as you can to the platform without jumping
off. Once the Protopets jump out of the sewers do a 180 degree
spin in the air and go back to the platform without the protopets.
Kill the Protopets with the Mini Nuke or Minirocket (optional)
then Swing Shot to the platform and land this time. Get all the
Bolts and immediately fall off the platform. When you restart,
the lights should give you 420 instead of 84 Bolts. If you are
in challenge mode, your Bolt multiplier will remain the same until
you exit the planet.
Planet Endako: Sheep Invaders mini-game
Go to Clank's apartment. On the coffee table is a pyramid.
Use the Dynamo on it and you will play Sheep Invaders. Once you
get tired of playing, you can smash it and get lots of Bolts.
Planet Endako: Laser bot ally
Use the crane to pick up a laser bot. He will keep
shooting his laser. When you move it above an enemy, the laser
bot will hit it.
Planet Endako: Platinum Bolt
When you are at the second crane, get the block in
the in the first room and bring it to the middle room by the elevated
doorway. Next, get the exploding block and sit it on the block.
The door will open. Go to the middle room and hop up on it to
get the Platinum Bolt.
Planet Endako: Nanotech boost
When you get the Infiltrator, go to Planet Endako then
go to the second crane. In the second room, in front of you will
be a door with a Infiltrator thing. Solve it and the door will
open. There is a Nanotech Boost inside.
Planet Greblin: Y.E.T.I.
When you get to planet Greblin, be careful of the pack
hunting beasts called Y.E.T.I. They hunt in packs of over five.
No weapon except the RYNO 2 can take them down quickly. They are
killers and should be avoided when your health is low.
Planet Joba: Nanotech boost
Immediately at the beginning is a dynamo activator
on the right. Activate it and go into the tunnel. Use the dynamo
then quickly go to the end and take a right to get a Nanotech
boost.!
In the Megacorp games, when you start cross the bridge. After
you pass the big tree on your right, there is a dynamo. Activate
it, then run in the tunnel ahead of you. Activate the next dynamo
cross the bridge. Do not worry about the enemies; avoid them.
After you cross the bridge on your right will be a Nanotech boost.
Planet Notak: Nanotech boost
At the top of the promenade, there is a Nanotech boost.
Planet Notak: Easy Bolts
After completing the game, you will have a Bolt Multiplier.
To get a lot of Bolts, have your multiplier number to be more
than x15. Then, go to Planet Notak (Canal City). Go through the
entire level and all enemies will be worth 3,000 Bolts each. You
will get from 50,000 to over 100,000 Bolts. Once you have completed
the level, go back to your ship. Ride somewhere else, then go
back to Planet Notak. Keep repeating this process. Note: The Plasma
Storm works extremely well against groups of Chickenbots.
Planet Oozla: Easy Bolts
Have a Bolt Multiplier of 20 and go to Planet Oozla.
Every Mutant Swampbeast and Mutant Muckdweller will have 2,500
to 3,000 Bolts.
Planet Oozla: Platinum Bolts
When you get the tractor beam, to the left is A Platinum
Bolt. You have to use the tractor beam to move the columns to
the left to get it.
There is one more Platinum Bolt on the planet. Go to the path
right of your ship, and by the Muckdwellers on the left is a dragon
boat that will take you to the Platinum Bolt.
Planet Oozla: Secret Boss
In the department store, there is a hill-type wall
near the end that you can walk up with the Gravity Boots. When
you get up there, there is a weapon vendor and a huge pipe that
you can slide down. Slide down it and you will fall into the planet's
sewage system, where the secret Boss awaits you. Note: This Boss
is even more powerful than the so called "Final Protopet
Boss".
Planet Tabora: Nanotech boost
In the glider segment on top of a pillar, there is
a Nanotech boost.
Planet Tabora: Platinum Bolt
Take the route where you must use the tractor beam
a lot. In the second room, there will be a big thing and a small
thing that you can stand on. Move the things and get the inspector
to open the door, but do not go inside. Instead, take the two
things and look above you to your right. You should see an extra
room. Move the things to get up there. In there should be A Captain
Qwark fan who will trade you the Quark action figure and a room
with a Platinum Bolt inside. Its best if you have the Mapper.
Planet Todano: Anti-squirrel bus
At the beginning of the level when the tourists are
getting off the bus, jump up on top of the bus. Place a mini-turret
before the bus leaves. As the bus goes to the finish of the tour,
the turret will shoot at squirrels.
Planet Todano: Nanotech boost
In the missile silo, there is a Trespasser Lock. Use
it and an elevator will come down. It leads up to a Nanotech boost.
Planet Todano: Robots
When the robots come out of the bus keep hitting them.
After you kill about twenty, you will get a warning. If you keep
hitting them, after about six to seven minutes, robots will come
out and kill you.
Planet Todano: Platinum Bolt
In the building with all the robots, there is a place
where you use the tractor beam frequently. Where you use it on
the Inspector Bot, there are two moving platforms above you. Use
the tractor beam to move the pole over under it. Jump on it, and
there is an air vent. Use the Spider Bot/Tank Bot and throw it
in the vent. Go up the vent to find a red light. Stand on it and
it will let you get the Platinum Bolt.
Planet Todano: Funny warnings
Kill as many tourists as possible. This is easiest
to do while they are coming out of the transport. You will be
warned about killing too many tourists. There are four warnings.
Planet Yeedil: Platinum Bolt
In the Megacorp Headquarters, there is a part where
you must use the Electrolyzer to get to the other side of the
place. Above you, there is a grinding rail with a Platinum Bolt
on it. When you get to the other side of the room, look around.
You will see big poles with marks on them. One has a tractor beam
mark. Move the pull and get up the stairs. At the end of the grinding
rail is the Platinum Bolt.
When you first land your ship, look on top of the bridge to see
a Platinum Bolt. Put on your Grind Boots and jump on the cable.
Keep jumping until you reach the top. Note: This requires a lot
of practice.
Defeating the Arachnoid
In the the Arachnoid fight on Joba, do the following.
Use a long range weapon such as the Plasma Storm or the Megarocket
Cannon. The Boss will go to the other side of the cage match and
makes unlimited Nidbots (the black "ants") -- do not
use the HK 22 gun. This Boss' attack is electricity; get the Tesla
Shield before doing this.
Defeating the B2 Brawler
When you get the Zodiac, go to Maktar Nebula and face
the B2 Brawler. When he shoots the laser balls, allow him to hit
you with them. He will then come down to where you can shoot him.
Take out the Zodiac and try to get up close us possible to his
head. Launch a shot from the Zodiac. Watch out for his legs. In
seconds he will be nothing but ash with one shot.
When Brawler enters the arena, equip the Chopper if available.
It will eventually spread its legs. Equip the Gravity Bomb and
stay away unless you want to get swept. If you run out, use the
Lancer.
Buy the Bouncer and upgrade it to the next level. Then, hit Chainblade
or the B2 Brawler with the weapon. A direct hit should kill them.
Defeating the giant Protopet
You can go under the giant Protopet and shoot at him
when he is shooting at you or laying tiny Protopets. Note: This
only works on the top ring.
This trick requires the Plasma Storm and Heavy Bouncer. Make sure
the Heavy Bouncer has the lock-on upgrade. Lock-on with the Heavy
Bouncer and strafe while the Protopet rolls. When it releases
the protopets, use the Plasma Storm. Prevent him from getting
ammunition, but allow him to get the bombs as they can be easily
dodged when moving.
Defeating the Oozla swamp monster
When you are on planet Oozla, you will encounter the
thorny swamp monster. Its two attacks are its arm swing and the
pancaker. Use your Lancer and Gravity Bomb. It is difficult, but
you' wil eventually pass and receive the Dynamo at the end.
Defeating the second Oozla swamp
monster
When you get the Gravity Boots, use them to walk the
weird ramp in the store. Make sure you have been to the upgrade
vendors and advanced a lot of them. Go down the chute and prepare
for a very difficult fight. The last Boss you defeated was this
Boss' little cousin. Shoot frequently and avoid him when swinging
and eating. It is a circle and you will not run out of room. Do
not stop shooting when it is still and you will receive the Boxbreaker
(a Wrench upgrade).
Note: The R.Y.N.O.2 will clear about half of his health.
Defeating the Thief
To have a fairly easier time defeating the Thief (the
third time) on Siberius planet, immediately take out your Seeker
Gun as the Thief approaches then shoot him as fast as you can.
He will scramble away.
Defeating Thug Leader on Snivelak
It is possible to defeat the Thug Leader on Snivelak
without using any of the turrets. Use the Tetrabomb Gun, RYNO
II, Mini-Nuke, and other strong weapons, all of which are at the
Ultra level, and you can defeat him without landing in one turret.
Note: Without the turrets you will be continuously fired at. Strafe
around to avoid the shots and lasers.
Defeating the final Boss
Take out your RYNO 2 in the final battle. You can kill
the Boss in about ten shots.
Defeating enemies
Use the following trock to defeat larger, more difficult
enemies very easily. Note: You will need the Sheepinator and the
Shield Charger. Enter as many battle arenas as possible after
acquiring the Sheepinator. Get 100,000 Bolts then purchase the
Shield Charger at a vendor. The Sheepinator is a weapon that can
turn most enemies (but probably not Bosses) into harmless white
sheep, which you can whack at with your wrench. They will then
explode into a little white cloud. The Shield Charger is a temporary
shield which will form around you. It will complete protect you
from all harm (except falling off cliffs, edges, etc.). When using
the Sheepinator, walk up to any enemy and use it on them. A meter
will fill and the enemy will turn into a sheep This can take a
while, leaving you completely vulnerable to all other attacks.
If you equip the Shield Charger (it will also harm any enemy when
you touch them) while using the Sheepinator, you can take all
the time required with the gun when turning larger more powerful
enemies into sheep, and you will not get hurt by enemy fire.
Gadgetron Shop
Have a saved game from the original Ratchet And
Clank on your memory card. Do not save money for the Rhino2.
If you obtained it the first game, then it will be offered for
free. Wait for the Zodiac later in the game for 1,500,000.
Cheaper RYNO 2
Do not save to get the RYNO 2 before you defeat the
Protopet. After you defeat it, the Gadetron vendor will have the
RYNO 2, and it will be 1,000,000 Bolts instead of the normal 1,500,000
Bolts.
Easy Bolts
Go to level 2 and look for a slot machine. Hit it with your wrench.
If get three bars, you will get 300 Bolts and a skill point (Gotta
Buy Clank a New Pair of Shoes).
Keep entering the arena battles and get the prize money.
Go to the level were you get the 10 Crystals for the man so that
he can fix your ship. Get all the other crystals and sell them
all to the same person. You will get 1000 Bolts for each crystal.
In the field, you will find a platinum bolt. The other platinum
bolt is where you get the glider.
Keep doing levels repeatedly.
Win hover bike races.
Go to Angela's home planet and get the rock out of the way with
nine moon rocks. Then, get 16 for the Hypnomatic part. There should
be about 80 remaining. When you give one to the mystic, you will
get 3,000 for each crystal.
Complete the Electrolyzer battle on Maktar Resort, and the Gravity
Boots and Infiltrator battles on Joba. Then, get the Minirocket
Tube, Plasma Coil, Pulse Rifle, Or Ryno 2 and constantly fight
Chainblade and the Arachnoid. If you defeat them a lot of times,
you will get the B2 Brawler and the Megapede. Keep fighting them
to get Bolts.
This trick has the best results in challenge mode. You will need
the Black Sheepinator (upgraded Sheepinator) and the Zodiac. When
you first get out of your ship, all you need is one round of ammunition
for the Zodiac, and the Black Sheepinatior does not require any.
In the neighborhood where you first encounter the Protopets, use
your Charge Boots and make your way to the platform where the
two Bots exit from the ship. Jump on top of the platform to protect
yourself, then fire the Zodiac facing towards the neighborhood.
This should kill both the Bots and a lot of the Protopets. Jump
down and strafe from side to side, collecting the Bolts while
using your Black Sheepinator on the Protopets. You can get a lot
of Bolts by letting your Bolt Multiplier increase by not getting
hit. Allow a handful of Protopets to multiply, then keep killing
them. If done correctly without getting hit, your Bolt Multiplier
should be between 15 to 20. Then, go to the beginning of the level
and jump off the cliff to restart the level. Do this about five
or times and you should be able to get any remaining weapons or
armor desired.
Constantly kill Protopets on Damosel. Each one is worth 50 to
100 Bolts. It is possible to get 100,000 bolts in about an hour.
Also, after killing a few, let them regenerate again so you can
get more money.
Go to the thug rendezvous in challenge mode and complete the levels
up to the point were you fight the ace ships. Make sure you have
the nuke installed on your ship. Enter the level and fire your
nuke within the first five seconds, or you will miss some ships.
This should kill all of them in one shot. Do this repeatedly.
You will eventually get 7,000 Bolts per match. It is possible
to collect about 1,000,000 bolts in fifteen minutes.
While playing in challenge mode, find any place with a "machine"
or creature that makes new enemies all the time (for example,
the "boxes" that throw out the robotic chickens). Use
Mega Heavy Lancer or Ultra Heavy Lancer to destroy the robotic
chickens, but do not destroy the machine spitting out the new
ones. After you have killed enough of them, destroy the machine
and collect all the Bolts. Note: When doing this, wait until the
end to collect the Bolts because your multiplier will be higher.

Easy weapon upgrades
Go to Maktar Nebula and go to the Battle Arena. Play
the Impossible challenge. Next, buy all the bullets for all your
guns. Then, keep killing the people with the non-upgraded guns.
Even if you die, you will get them upgraded. If you die, buy more
bullets.
In Maktar Resort, Maktar Nebula, you will find a battle arena
that has a Boss named Chainblade. You can fight him and B2 Brawler
to get a lot of experience. For example, take your Lancer and
fight with just that weapon until he dies. Most likely, you will
get enough experience to fill one quarter of the bar. Do this
four or five times if necessary. This should upgrade the Lancer
to a Heavy Lancer like all other weapons.
Go to Joba and win every challenge until you get the "Impossible
challenge". Do it and use the weapon that you want to upgrade.
Even if you die, the experience bar will increase. You should
last for about 27 rounds if you do not have at least three quarters
of the weapons. If you are a melee super expert, you should last
all 60 rounds with your weapons and upgraded wrench.
Strong attack
Have at least have the OmniWrench 10000. To kill some
stronger enemies, use the jump/vertical slash by pressing [X]
to jump then [Square].
Quick start in hoverbike races
As soon as the light turns green, hold [R1] +
[X] . This may require some practice.
Clank Shocker
The Clank Shocker can be upgraded into the Clank Zapper.
The recommended area to do this is is Planet Smolg. The enemies
have a lot of Nanomites and are not very difficult. The zapper
has a built-in acid type of mod, even though it is red.
Keep moving with Charge Boots
The Charge Boots will propel you for a short time.
However, if you hold [R1] you will keep going and can move
yourself around.
Armor upgrades
Training: Tetrafiber: Duraploate: Electrosteel: Carbonox
Jak 2 and Sly
Cooper references
At the "Press Start" screen, you will
see Ratchet playing video games while Clank reads a book. At first
Ratchet is playing both Ratchet And Clank then Ratchet
And Clank: Going Commando. Allow the game to idle and you
will see Ratchet playing Jak 2 and Sly Cooper as
well.
Jak And Daxter references
In Clank's apartment on Planet Endako where you
get the Swingshot and Grindboots, on the wall is a picture of
Jak and Daxter.
When your getting parts for the hypno thing and you get one of
the pieces, Ratchet and Clank will do a small dance. The game
will play a music sequence. It is the same music and moves as
from Jak And Daxter.
Glitch: Stay on second floor
When you are fighting the Protopet Boss at the Megacorp
HQ, shoot him until you get to the second level, when he starts
smashing the ground to bring you to the third level. Throw a bomb
at him with the tractor beam and he will forget about smashing
the ground and come after you. He will not smash the ground for
the remainder of the battle. Note: Only the bombs work, as they
do lots of damage.
Glitch: Stuck in Insomniac Museum
Go to the Insomniac Museum and climb the gravity boots
"spiral". When you get to the top and are on the "gravity
ball", look for a vent shaft. If you jump at it, you will
go in. Note: There is no way to escape or get out.
Glitch: Mining vehicle music
In the mining camp, go to the mining car with the Gravity
Boots and get into the vehicle. Go to the other side of the camp
and hug against the rock wall near the edge of the cliff. Then,
ride as fast as you can and jump over the canyon to the area behind
the building before the cave in the back. Next, drive directly
over the building on the side, hugging the rock wall. You should
be in the camp place. Intentionally die, and the game will play
the mining vehicle music all the time. Intentionally die again
to return to normal.
Glitch: Light reflection in Maktar Nebula
Resort
Go to the place where the purple car is to take you
to destroy the Thugs-4-Less Jamming Array. Do not go in the car
yet. Instead, smash all the lights at that location. Then, look
down on the floor where the light's reflection is found. Although
the light is not there, the reflection still is.
Glitch: Brighter results screen
Note: This requires the Hyperspace Warp Upgrade for
the ship. Whenever you complete a mission on any planet that requires
you to stay in your ship (for example, Feltzin System, Hrugis
Cloud, Gorn), press [R2] + [L2] to activate the Hyperspace
Upgrade at the correct moment before the results screen apears.
The results screen will be brighter for about three to five seconds.
Practice the timing to get the screen completely white.
Glitch: Fly a dead ship
On Planet Gorn, complete any challenge and immediately
before the results screen appears, fly as high or low as you can.
Press [X] to go to the mission select menu and wait. If done
correctly, the lightning will zap the ship while you select a
mission. When the explosion effect appears, select a mission.
If done correctly, the shields and health bar will be depleted.
Note: Any contact with an enemy, enemy fire, or obstacles will
result in the ship being blown up.
Glitch: Nuke trick
Note: This requires the Nuke Upgrade (60 Raritanium).
On the Space Wasp or Ace Pilot mission (Feltzin System) or the
Bandit mission on Gorn, select the Nuke and fire it at the very
beginning on the mission. If done correctly, all of the enemy
ships will be defeated in less than ten seconds. Note: On Gorn,
adjust your aim to the right of the floating building thing at
the start, or else you will leave about three to seven ships out
of the blast.
Glitch: Decoy Glove does not stop
In Maktar Resort (after you have completed the game),
purchase the Mega Decoy Glove. Then, go to the platform that is
used to enter the battle arena (but do not enter). After that,
launch an Upgraded Decoy Glove on the moving blue bridge. It will
continuously move and not stop. After that, wait until it gets
to the ramp you go down when you arrive. Look behind it, and it
will go through the ramp and float through space.
Glitch: Pass through floor
When you are at Angela's home world, you can still
complete the level without the Hypnomatic. Underneath the other
landing pad, find the highest pile of snow. Stand on it. then
set Clank's propulsion unit to helicopter. Do a hyper jump holding
the toggle forward, and you will fly up from under the floor.
Note: If you do this, go into the mine elevator by Angela's house.
When you are inside, step on the smaller transport and you will
go under water but still remain in an air environment.
Glitch: Pass through pillar
In Planet Smolg, go to the part with the Levitator
Pads and the docked ships. When you reach the first Levitator
Pad, there should be a Vendor to your right. Go to the first pillar
with another Levitator Pad. Then, fly to the next one and stop.
If you have the Mapper, check the map. You should see a green
dot near your position. This identifies the presence of a secret
item. Fly up to it using the nearest Levitator Pad. If you make
it to the top, get the Platinum Bolt and jump off. If you did
not, use Clank's propulsion pack to slowly descend back to the
pillar, but do not land. Instead, head downward and fly into the
stem of the pillar. If done correctly, Ratchet should go through
the stem and appear inside of it, instead of hitting it and falling.
Glitch: Pass through gates
Put on the Charge Boots and aim for the center of the
gate. When you are at top speed and your head is down, you can
squeeze through the gate.
Glitch: Swim through ice
Go to Planet Barlow. Go up the "ramp" at
the beginning of the level, and go across the swingshot targets.
When you get to the first water pool, take out your Thermanator
and swim through it. On the other side of the water, freeze it.
Next, go all the way around the level to the place where you buy
the Thermanator then around to the swingshot targets again. Go
across them and to your first water pool. It will not be frozen,
but will still be liquid. Swim through it, and while you are still
under water on the other side, you will notice that the top of
the water is still frozen. Swim up and you will go through it.
Glitch: Missing shadow
On Planet Endako, enable the "Levels are mirrored"
cheat. Shadows from all objects will be missing.
Glitch: Swing arm not wrench
When riding a taxi, swing your wrench then press [X]
immediately afterwards. Ratchet should swing his arm continually
as long as you press [X], but his wrench nether extends nor
makes a sound. If you swing your wrench twice he will imitate
that second move of his three hit combo by pressing [X].
The same goes with his third move, etc.
Glitch: Scale walls
Use the following trick to scale walls 90 degrees and
above. Go into first person mode, then do a double jump, but not
a wall jump, near the wall that you want to climb. Repeatedly
start throwing your wrench at the wall after you finish the double
jump and are in the air, then move towards the wall while tapping
[Square]. You should start moving up the wall, as long as
you keep tapping [Square].
