In this entry, we head to the Blarg Tactical Station in Nebula G34. Not only do I take way too much time on a Skill Point, but we also get some cool boots for grinding on rails...and we're not done yet!
Blarg Station - Nebula G34
The Gadgetron Vendor here will have the Taunter. Unlike other weapons, this uses no ammunition, so it's more of a gadget than a weapon. However, you can use it to lure enemies towards you. Be prepared to use this in a few puzzles to lure them into an electric force field and into their death.
The spinning orange spheres open up gates when struck. Don't touch the gates; they will shock and hurt you. If you're stuck, look for these spheres and hit them to open up a door somewhere. At the beginning of the stage, this is your cue as to where you go first. The steam will hurt you, so stay away from it. As for the little green creatures that can walk on walls and ceilings, you can pick them off with the Blaster.
The humanoid enemies will shoot at you with a short-range flamethrower. Thankfully, you have more range than this guy and you can take him out in a number of ways.
[url=https://youtu.be/vLkzRX9e8N4?t=5m7s]5:07 - For this one, you'll need the lasers on the outer ring at 12 o'clock and 5 o'clock. For the middle ring, you'll need the blockers at 2 o'clock, 7 o'clock and 9 o'clock. For the inner ring, you'll need the lasers at 2 o'clock and 7 o'clock. By entering this ring, you'll find a bunch of Bolts. These crates will not re-spawn, so this treasure trove is a one shot deal.
Past the Invinco-Lock, you'll need to go up while avoiding the gas that is being sprayed. Use the Swingshot to get to the next door. When you hit the orange spheres here, you'll have to fight two mutants. Use your Blaster to take them out, and keep your distance.
The gray crates are almost indestructible, and it will take an explosion from either a red crate or an explosive weapon to break them.
11:20 - One of the smaller rooms in this area contains a Gold Bolt. There is also one of those strange transmitter-type things on the floor there.
21:19 - To defeat the Alien Queen with only the wrench, you'll have to move to the side when she stops to attack, then strike when she stops to spin towards you. Be sure to break the crates with the Nanotech in them ahead of time, as you will need to refill health as quickly as possible when necessary.
In the second part of the battle, you'll have to fight a whole slew of the little green creatures. Thankfully, you can take out a lot of them at one time with the wrench just by getting them all in a group, although you can use other weapons against them.
In the third part of this battle, you'll face two mini-aliens. If you need to, throw your wrench at them like a boomerang, but don't be afraid to hit them with the wrench if they get way too close, particularly with a mid-air strike.
For beating the Alien Queen with just your wrench, you'll get a Skill Point.
After the Alien Queen battle, two aliens will try to attack a Gadget Engineer. By shooting them down, you'll get a cutscene where the guy will sell you his Grindboots in order to get off the station. Pay him the 2,000 Bolts, and the boots are yours. With these boots, you can grind on rails a la Sonic the Hedgehog. While grinding on rails, you can also attack with your wrench and jump over obstacles or to other rails to the sides.
