At long last, we finally reunite with Clank. Now we can get around the way we've always meant to!
It's time to head with Endako. Let's go there.
2:20 - Destroying trash can deploy Sweeper Bots, which swoop in and try to slide into you. If they flash green, there is no hazard; if they are yellow, they are on stand-by; if they are red, they're coming at you.
2:50 - The spinning robots with the lasers are better off taken down from a distance.
3:44 - Another Electrolyzer puzzle.
5:11 - Let's revive these crane controls, shall we? We can move the crane with the left stick and lift and drop with X. You can crush the Sweeper Bots with the crate, but they will be a little cautious. Once you're done, you'll need to place the crate in such a way that you can continue
7:11 - The red flashing on the Pulse Rifle reticle means the enemy is in range. Also, be careful on the platforms, as they tilt when you move on them.
7:58 - This robot has guns. So do we.
9:57 - After playing around with the Electrolyzer again, we get to play with a crane again. Grab the laser robot and let the laser do the work. If you destroy ten enemies this way, you'll get a Skill Point. Afterwards, you'll need to drop the regular crate as well as the red crates, which blow some paths up and get a Platinum Bolt.
Oh, and the red floors burn. Don't land on those.
15:38 - You'll eventually find Clank. As Ratchet tries to get down, he gets pushed down by the thief. After yet another Electrolyzer puzzle, you'll finally get Clank back.
17:30 - This leads to a solo segment where you play as Clank, as the air duct is the only way out and he can fit. Just like in the first game, you'll be commanding other robots as well as doing some basic platforming stuff just to get around. Thankfully, the controls are at the bottom of this blog entry and all subsequent ones.
18:08 - The Gadgebots are now known as the Micro Bots, and once again, you can hold Triangle and the Control Pad or left analog stick to command them to attack. Smash the globes by punching with the Square button to free them. Some of the Micro Bots will get destroyed, but they will re-spawn, and this game is better with remembering you are and sending them to you.
19:53 - The Bridge Bot acts as a bridge between where you are and a place you normally can't get to. If you have a Bridge Bot in your party, you can use the Build Bridge command to build a bridge.
20:45 - The Lifter Bot can lift certain boxes with the Lift command.
22:37 - Send the Micro Bots into the port to open the door. From there, step on the blue panel, and Ratchet and Clank are finally reunited.
23:18 - Here, you'll learn how to high jump, long jump and glide as you escape. You also have the Heli-Pack and the Thruster Pack from the first game as soon as Clank comes back. You'll soon be able to get back to the beginning of Endako. I end up buying the Seeker Gun.
