PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 27 of 54


In this entry, we continue the story by heading to Todano...and what we learn is shocking.

First | Previous | Next | End

2:11 - New weapons! The bouncer shoots out a bouncing ball that, upon contact with an enemy, explodes into a bunch of smaller balls that bounce on the ground and explode on contact with the enemy. The explosions can do quite a bit of damage, but wait until this bad boy gets evolved. Also, the Hoverbomb shoots floating orbs that can do quite a bit of damage when they explode. 

3:00 - As the robots take a tour, there will be rabid squirrels ready to pounce on you - and the tourist robots - and rockets to destroy. If you destroy the four rockets at the starting area, you'll get a Skill Point for it. 

5:22 - At the end of the tour, wait for the robot Fizzwidget to head towards the wall for a Platinum Bolt. The tour also loops back to its beginning, so if you want to listen to robot Fizzwidget again, you can. 

8:52 - If all of the robot tourist make it through the tour without even one of them getting destroyed, you'll get a Skill Point.

11:42 - Electrolyzer time.

12:44 - You can smash the heads off all the posts here for bolts.

13:21 - The last rocket we destroyed actually lifted off...and it blows up here.

14:21 - For this Infiltrator puzzle, go up, up, down-left, left, down-left, down-left, down, down-right.

14:54 - The Bouncer in action. Watch out for the globes in the ground, as they will raise out of the ground and shoot out a ring of shocking electricity that goes a short distance, which you'll want to avoid.

17:23 - You'll need to use the Infiltrator here to call an elevator. For this, you'll want to go down, down-left, down, down, up-right, down, down-left, down, down-left, up, up-left, down, down, down. The elevator will lead to a Nanotech boost.

As for the next room, enemies will spawn in up to a certain point as you keep fighting inside of it, so be ready to use weapons that will take care of multiple enemies easily.

19:53 - Another Infiltrator section. For this one, go left, down, right, down, down, down-right, up, down-right, up.

20:36 - At the end, you'll get a message from the tall female Ratchet, whose name is Angela Cross. She will tell you that Thugs-4-Less has taken over her flying lab, now that someone has made them a better offer, and that the experiment is known as "the Protopet." You'll then get a video for the Protopet, which Megacorp is more or less dying to give away as a pet. Clank says that he and Ratchet must get to Mr. Fizzwidget and warn him. Angela mentions that Fizzwidget is on planet Bolden, but has misgivings about whether or not you will be able to get Fizzwidget to come to his senses.

23:18 - We'll be going here next time, but in the meantime, we can get some more bolts.

Skill Points:

Nothing To See Here: Destroy the four large rockets in the beginning area of Todano.

You're My Hero: Protect all ten tourists from squirrels in the beginning area of Todano so that they all get through a tour. Thankfully, you can get the tour to loop back to the beginning and try again, so you don't have to do this on the first shot.
