PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 4 of 54


Now that we've stopped the jamming array, we need to find out where to go next.

First | Previous | Next | End

2:14 - This time, we're heading left from the ship. This time, we'll be dealing with more enemies with laser cannons compared to the right path. Also, more slot machine action.

4:19 - After entering the shuttle here...

4:52 - ...we end up here. The game teaches you to move while grabbing onto ledges here.

5:26 - Use the crates to get to this Platinum Bolt, the second and last Platinum Bolt you can find here. After this, rush your way past the goons to get...

5:59 - ...here. By jumping towards certain walls and pressing X again as you hit it, you can make your way up...

6:09 - ...here. Be careful with the enemies here. Hold L1 to aim and take out the enemies from above with what you have.

7:15 - Rush your way through here to get into the Battle Arena.

7:56 - Once you're inside, you'll find out that the Electroyzer is the prize. For this, bust out the Heavy Lancer to take out the guys with the maces. Use the wrench to take out the balls that sprout out spikes. The robots can be taken out with the Heavy Lancer or the bomb glove. You'll have health and ammo around the perimeter of the arena to work with, and you'll also have a lava pool around the arena as well as fan blades that will pop out and act as an obstacle that will destroy you. Compared to other fights you'll have here, this one will be easy. You'll get the Electrolyzer for winning the Gladiator Games.

10:57 - The Electrolyzer is much like the Infiltrator from the first game. You place it in the broken console, you play the minigame, and you open up a path. Use the Circle button to flip all the connectors so that the sparks can travel into them. Make sure to pay attention to your surroundings and look for where sparks travel towards the center, or else you're starting the whole puzzle over. Completing the mini-game here will open up a conveyor belt leading back to the ship, giving you an instant shortcut to the Battle Arena. We'll be using that shortcut soon.

12:13 - Before you can get back to the ship, the thief shows up and tells you to give up the experiment or else Ratchet will be destroyed much like they will destroy Clank...which they apparently can't do.

13:10 - A more complex Electrolyzer puzzle. Now you can get back to the ship.

The rest of the video is spent on the slot machine in an attempt to get a Skill Point for getting three bars on the slot machine. I don't do it here, but I get the skill point in the next video.
