PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank - Part 38 of 38

In this entry, we play New Game Plus Mode for the last five Gold Weapons and get all of the unlockables.

First | Previous

Once you make it to Novalis again on New Game Plus mode, there will be a teleporter at the start that was not there before. If you use it, you'll enter a chamber where you can get all ten gold weapons.

The Gold Tesla Claw has more range and more power, and you can also attack more than one enemy.

The Gold Devastator has a more powerful shot that splits into multiple homing shots to hit multiple enemies.

The Gold Mine Glove has more range and more power, and moves towards enemies from further away than usual.

The Gold Morph-o-Ray morph things in less time and produces bigger chickens.

The Gold Decoy Glove creates a different decoy (Ratchet with red eyes and a devilish smile) that explodes when an enemy comes into contact with it.

When you have everything you'll get a "Making Of" Video and the commercials. Interestingly, the "Making Of" video has pre-final footage of the game, which makes it worth checking out. You'll also get the full sketchbook and epilogue, too.

And with that, there's everything to Ratchet and Clank!
