PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank - Part 22 of 38

It's time to head to the other path at the second Gadgetron vendor to make some real progress.

First | Previous | Next | End

We took one path at the other Gadgetron Vendor. Now it's time to take the other path. We're going to the right.

If you've shot down any Screamers previously, they will not return from this point on.

As you travel down the path to the right of the second Gadgetron Vendor, you'll find an Infobot, but it will fly away. Once again, you'll be using the Magneboots to walk on a narrow path to get further.

5:40 - If you use the Taunter here, you'll get a Skill Point when all the enemies nearby run into the electric barrier and die.

Along the way, you'll find a hole in the wall covered up with a thick layer of metal. You'll have to find another way to get inside.

One more climb upwards with the Magneboots near the end will lead to the Infobot. This Infobot shows Chairman Drek at the snowy planet of Hoven, where he has a missile-shaped weapon known as the Planetbuster sitting next to him. With the Planetbuster, Drek can destroy any planet that he desires just by firing it from a spaceship. Drek has found perfect orbit for his new manufactured planet that allows for optimal temperature year-round, but there is a planet in the way (the name of which is not mentioned). Ratchet has enough sense to see that this is a big issue, but is still more focused on going after Captain Qwark. From here, you can head to Hoven.

16:52 - Once you complete all the missions on Orxon, you can wall jump up this wall with Ratchet for a Gold Bolt.
