PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank - Part 31 of 38


In this entry, we head to Quartu. While we can do some damage to Drek's plans here, we still need to go elsewhere to get the Hologuise so we can enter the factory.


When you leave Oltanis after completing it, the game will play another cutscene. Here, Drek is in desperate need of a planet to destroy.

Blackwater City - Rilgar

You'll need the O2 Mask and the Morpho-Ray for this. Equip the O2 Mask and the Morpho-Ray, then shoot the Morpho-Ray at a tank until you fill up the orange gauge at the right side of the screen. If you can do that, you can turn the tank into a chicken and get a Skill Point for it.

Robot Plant - Quartu

By climbing up the ladder near the Gadgetron Vendor, you can enter an underwater area. Swim through the three rings quickly to open the door, then avoid the lasers to get to the switch on the other side. By stepping on the switch, you'll de-electrify the water for one minute. Make your way to the other end with the Hydro-Foil and swim through to the other side to get the Bolt Grabber, which lets you grab Bolts from further away.

If you approach the factor, you'll be told that you'll need the Hologuise to enter. Unfortunately, you'll have to head to another planet to get the Hologuise.

The robots on the bridge will try to shock you, but you can tag them from a distance with the Blaster. When you destroy them, they don't come back. You'll also have the little chomper robots coming at you here, too.

Near the end, there is a door that you won't be able to open until you find a specific item on another planet.

At the end of the path, you'll find a floor pad that will turn Clank giant! The nearby scientist is trying to destroy the pad to keep Drek from using it to turn other robots giant, and you can use it to make Clank giant-sized and take out the enemy forces to buy the scientist time. You can use this to go to the arena shaped area at the other side of the bridge. The left analog stick and/or D-Pad will allow you to move, Square lets you punch, Circle lets you fire missiles, X lets you jump, and Triangle lets you fire a super laser that destroys anything in its path. You'll have a health meter in the upper-left corner of the screen that you don't want emptied out by the enemies, and the light at the left side will glow red when the super laser is recharging and green when the super laser is ready.

As for the enemies in this area, you'll have robots that shoot missiles at you and planets that come out from a distance and also shoot missiles at you. Watch your health, take out the enemies as efficiently as possible, and if you need to, mow through multiple enemies at one time with the super laser.

Once you beat all the enemies in the "arena," you'll get an Infobot. This will take you to Kalebo III, where you can find the Gadgetron HQ as well as the Hologuise.
