PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank - Part 11 of 38


In this entry, we explore more of Rilgar and make our way to the speedway. Next time, we take part in a hoverboard competition.


Back at the ship, we can now take the other path near the Gadgetron Vendor. You'll be stepping on a lot of floor switches on this path just to get to the end of it, so look for anything amber-colored lights flashing on the ground.

The tanks will shoot clouds of green gas you do not want to run into, but they don't take a lot of abuse before exploding.

The green blobs split into two when hit, and the smaller blobs split into two when hit again. After shrinking twice, one more hit will take them out for good.

Along the way, you will be facing a lot of robot soldiers with gas-shooting guns. You'll see them in packs, so have the Glove of Doom ready.

When you reach the city area, you'll see the robot soldier enemies shooting at stuff meet a guy in dark clothing selling a gun called the RYNO (Rip You A New One). This is a very powerful weapon that shoots destructive homing missiles, but you won't be able to get it until you are able to amass a large amount of Bolts...150,000 Bolts, to be exact. I won't be buying this until near the end of the game.

The manholes will let you reach platforms where you can find Bolts and ammo.

You'll eventually enter a cave. Here, you'll find a lot of bolts as one of those orange circles with an antenna on it, but you also find a bunch of blob enemies. When you move onto the switch in the pit below, you'll free a bunch of robot soldiers, but the Glove of Doom will easily take them out. One of the openings lead to a maze where you'll have to hit floor switches to make your way through it. Along the way, you'll face more robot soldiers and blobs. 

16:08 - There is a Gold Bolt in the maze, but to get to it, you'll need to walk on top of the maze walls after jumping onto them from a manhole.

After the maze, you'll find the entrance to the raceway. Here, you can not only talk to the woman in the center of the area to enter a Hoverboard competition to win a Platinum Zoomerator, but you'll also be able to open a shortcut to Captain Qwark's trailer as well as a shortcut back to the ship.
