Kogor Refinery - Orxon

Head back to where you found the Magneboots. Thankfully, there is a platform that will take you there near the ship at this point. From here, there is a grassy area you can go to with Clank. Stay near the walls as you explore this open area, as there will be loads of bombs dropping down from above that will hit you, and break the six Gadgebots out of their glass prisons as you go.

You'll soon find an opening that leads to a maze. Watch out for the yellow fireballs that snake round in the maze. Thankfully, they're pretty easy to avoid. After a bridge above some acid, you'll come across a Gadgebot silo that will open another area that is swarming somewhat with enemies. Use the single Gadgebot you find at the start of this area to attack the enemies here; don't you dare try to attack them yourself! By using the Gadgebots for this purpose, getting through here gets a lot easier. There are ten of them in all; make sure you have them all with you when you get to the silo.

On the other side of the silo is an Infobot. When Clank finds it, he decides to hold out on Ratchet regarding the info for some reason. There's nothing more to do here - for now - so head back to the ship. Back on the ship, Clank shows the contents, which is an advertisement for Jowai Resort in Pokitaru, on the condition that Ratchet keeps his focus on the mission. Predictably, Ratchet loses focus and entertains the idea of a vacation, which causes a brief squabble between Ratchet and Clank.
