PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 34 of 54


In this entry, we head to Snivelak to rescue Angela, but we find out that the Protopet is a lot larger than we realized.

First | Previous | Next | End

2:41 - If you can destroy fourteen ships that are flying around in Snivelak, you can get a Skill Point. I do this near the start and fall into the lava when shooting the ships ends up being harder than usual to reset the ships if need be.

6:07 - A Nanotech Boost is on the roof just after the first set of Swingshot targets. Be ready to bust out the Swingshot, as you'll definitely need it on Snivelak.

7:46 - The Dynamo targets activate these platforms you can stand on with the Magneboots.

8:46 - These planes give a good amount of experience for each one you shoot down.

9:57 - These pads allow you to jump great distances from one place to another.

11:06 - You can jump to the side here and follow the path for a Platinum Bolt. Be ready to use the Dynamo in mid-air to flip some platforms.

12:23 - The Vaporizer can make short work of these tanks. Use the Heavy Bouncer to finish off the soldiers.

14:16 - At this laser, stay back and let the Heavy Bouncer and HK22 do the work.

16:06 - Good thing we got all that experience for the health increase.

17:16 - A barrier! Once again, the Heavy Bouncer gets the job done. You'll then have some planes afterwards; use the Megaturret Glove to tear them apart.

20:04 - We face the leader of Thugs-4-Less. He has a giant robot. We don't. We'll have to jump from building to building and use the turrets to not only damage the robots, but also destroy the orbs that he constantly sends at you before they blow up on you like flying mines. You'll want to destroy all the orbs while destroying him or else you're taking damage. As mentioned in the video: "If you're seeing your health meter during all of this, you're doing it wrong."

After doing a certain amount of damage, the giant Thugs-4-Less robot will come at you and destroy the turret, and you'll have to look for another one. If the immediate area doesn't have turrets, you'll have to go back down to ground level and look for a jumping pad that takes you to the top of another building where you can find some fresh turrets.

If the giant Thugs-4-Less produces an orange laser while standing in front of you, that's another cue for you to press Triangle to get off the current turret and find another one. If the robot floats in the air, it is going to throw a ship at your turret to destroy it or fry the turret with missiles. You'll want to run away from the turret when that happens, too.

31:28 - After defeating the giant robot, you'll be able to rescue Angela, who gives you a message from the Thugs-4-Less leader mentioning an enormous supply of Protopets from Megacorp's distribution center which contains enough Protopets for the entire Bogon Galaxy. Angela then mentions that there is no time to get to Mr. Fizzwidget and that they must disrupt the distribution of the Protopets, and that she used to work in Megacorp's genetics division, where she was trying to fix the Protopet's flaws before Fizzwidget pushed up the release date. While Angela heads back to her home planet to get her Megacorp ID, you'll need to head to the distribution center. You'll get the coordinates to planet Smolg.
