PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank - Part 24 of 38


Now for the two hardest things in the game to do...and they both involve the Visibomb.

Jowai Resort - Pokitaru

It's time to do the hardest thing in the game: taking out three ships with the Visibomb.

Near the start, you can shoot down ships with the Visibomb. This is easier said than done, as the ships are pretty fast and will actively avoid your Visibomb shot. You also have the added hazard of your Visibomb shots going out of range.

If you need to, press Circle when near a ship to make the Visibomb rocket prematurely detonate. If the explosion hits anything, it's gonna get rocked.

By somehow hitting three ships with the Visibomb, you'll get the hardest Skill Point in the game.

Kogor Refinery - Orxon

Close to where it was raining bombs, there is a Gold Bolt up high and completely out of reach. Once again, you're going to need the Visibomb to blow up a series of five walls. You'll want to be careful near the floors, walls and ceilings, as the turning radius on the Visibomb shots is very narrow.

Once you open up a complete path, take the right path from the second Gadgetron vendor. Remember where the metal was? Go through the hole that is now there, and avoid falling into the acid, which is instant death. At the end is the hardest Gold Bolt (or one of the hardest) to get in the game.
