PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 21 of 54

We head back to the battle arena in the Maktar Nebula to take on the last of the challenges.

First | Previous | Next | End

1:56 - The Mega Challenge! Time to destroy a whole bunch of enemies and get a whole bunch of bolts at the end. Oh, and getting gun experience. We need that, too. On the tenth and final battle, Chainblade shows up, but the wrench challenge is off and Megaturret Glove use is fair game, which means that he's getting torn apart.

6:10 - The Limited Weapon Challenge. Here, you have only eight shots with the Mini-Nuke to kill all the enemies. For best results, lump everyone together for one shot. You only have four rounds of this, so make your shots count. Also, see if you can get the enemies to inadvertently hit each other, as infighting can help you save a shot or two.

7:36 - The game calls this battle against Chainblade and B2 Brawler a "Tag Team Battle" when the proper term is "Handicap Match." Once again, bust out the big guns, including the Megaturret Glove, if you want to survive. Both bosses tag in and out at regular intervals, but The Megaturret Glove tears through them in record time.

9:04 - The Endurance Challenge. Here, I start using the Synthenoids to do some damage without having to use my guns. I should have kept using them a little more throughout the battle, because those things are awesome and are absolutely deserving of being evolved. Nevertheless, I do bust out more of my weapons to get experience for them. Also, make use of the ammo crates every so often to get some more ammo for your guns.

17:20 - The Ultimate Challenge. The Lava Gun is good for those sphere enemies. In Round 6, you'll face Chainblade. In Round 11, you'll face the B2 Brawler. In Round 15, you'll face Chainblade again, and in Round 16, you'll face B2 Brawler and a punch of sphere enemies. The Megaturret Glove will make these four rounds much easier.

At this rate, there isn't much left to do in Maktar Nebula.
