PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank - Part 7 of 38

Unlike the other planets that we've been on, we'll be able to take care of everything in one video as we send one of Drek's lieutenants running.

Logging Site - Eudora

When you select Planet Eudora for the first time, you'll see Chairman Drek talk to his lieutenant and command him to destroy Eudora as his own planet is slowly being belt up.

The guys with the axes will stop chopping the trees and go after you for some close-quarter combat, but you can easily boomerang the wrench at them to take them down. Same for the buzzsaw enemies, though you may want to swing the wrench as they will come at you in droves.

The Gadgetron Vendor here has the Glove of Doom. This is a wonderful weapon for crowd control; throw a bomb and it will split into multiple robots that will run into enemies and explode, taking the enemies with them.

4:45 - This Gold Bolt near the start is easy to miss.

5:24 - If you shoot down ten ships flying around near the start, you'll get a Skill Point.

7:25 - Here's another Invinco-Lock. For the outer ring, you'll need the two lasers at 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock. You can do the rest of the rings however you want, but the outer ring is a bit more specific.

As you explore, you'll fond more bolts to turn with the wrench. Be careful with the Versa-Targets. As for the platforms, make sure the one you're on is higher than the one you're heading to next...and look for your shadow!

By double-tapping Triangle, you can quickly switch between your two most recently used weapons/hand gadgets. I wish I utilized this more, but this is a nice touch and I feel I should really mention it.

9:32 - This is the first lock to utilize a blocker, which will block the path of a laser, so keep the blockers in mind when you get through these.

For the outer ring, you'll need the lasers at 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock. For the middle ring, you'll need the laser at 12 o'clock. This will get the blocker away from the rest of the lasers. For the inner ring, the laser should be at 2 o'clock.

When you reach the lieutenant, he will run away, and you'll get an Infobot containing an advertisement for the Blarg Tactical Station starring Chairman Drek. You now have another destination.

You'll now be able to head back to the start. There is another path leading away from the Invinco-Lock leading to the lieutenant, and if you take it, you'll meet a new enemy: a red robot that will shoot if you get too close. This is where the Glove of Doom will come in handy, since you don't have to get close to the enemies.

Your basic platforming skills will also be put to the test on that path. If you can reach the end, you'll get the Suck Cannon, which can vacuum up multiple enemies that you can then fire like missiles. The enemies have to be small enough to be sucked into the cannon, however.

If you hold Left or Right and jump while crouching, you can do a side somersault.
