PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 7 of 54


In this video, we finally take care of business on Endako before heading back to previous planets.

First | Previous | Next | End

This time, we'll be heading left from the ship on Endako.

2:25 - A helicopter! We'll be seeing this thing flying around the level, and we'll be fighting the person piloting it later on.

2:58 - Drop down here for a Platinum Bolt, the second and last in Endako.

5:35 - Shoot down the trash cans, then be ready to fight some robots.

6:45 - If you need to, drop down the pit to refill the ammo crates. Why?

7:37 - Because you'll need the Pulse Rifle to tear this guy in the helicopter apart. The Pulse Rifle will then evolve into the Vaporizer, a more powerful sniper rifle.

9:03 - The transponder that opens up after beating the helicopter takes you to Clank's apartment. You'll find the Swingshot and the Grind Boots from the first game here. From here, you'll use the Swingshot to get back to the start. Press Circle when you're close enough to the target to get to the other side. The target with the lights on the sides allows you to swing back and forth by moving the left analog switch up and down. The blue target allows you to pull something down.

Be careful when swinging, as you can also swing to the side and go out of control. Keep the Circle button held and stop moving if that happens.

From here, we head to other planets to do other things.

12:13 - That wasn't there before! Back in Oozla, this sea monster will now appear, and you can ride it to a Platinum Bolt.

15:00 - It's time to jump on platforms and Swingshot to some targets to pull some platforms our way and get to other areas.

You'll also (re-)learn how to swim. Square dives, X rises and surfaces, and the left analog stick allows you to turn left and right. Thankfully, you'll have the Oxygen Mask right out of the gate so suffocating isn't a problem, and you'll still have the Hydro-Pack from the last game. Hold R1 to swim faster with the Hydro-Pack.

16:57 - Shimmy to the right here and keep the camera centered to find a path leading to a Platinum Bolt. Shoot down the plants that spit fireballs with the Heavy Lancer from a distance.

24:36 - By breaking this scientist out of the ice block with the wrench, you'll be able to buy the Thermantor for 1,000 bolts. With the Thermanator, you can heat up solid ice and you can freeze entire pools of water to get where you need to go just by holding the Circle button. By putting the Thermanator into action, you can get back to the ship.
