PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 11 of 54


We finally beat the thief at their own game and we're done with this adventure...or so we think.

First | Previous | Next | End

1:21 - Here's Slim Cognito's Ship Shack, where you can pay the Raritanium you got from shooting ships down in outer space to buy upgrades for your ship. This place will come into play in some dire situations as I play through the game.

From here, we head to Siberius.

5:50 - Watch for little doors in the ground. Orbs that sprout spinning blades will pop out and advance towards you, and while your wrench can take care of them, you'll still want to be careful.

6:27 - If you get behind this building, you'll find a snowman with the face of an Insomniac staff member on it. If you destroy it, you'll get a Skill Point.

7:06 - The first batch of robots can take a pounding, and the orange guys that show up afterwards shoot fireballs.

8:09 - Use the Tractor Beam to move this platform back upwards and back to where you fought the robots to get a Platinum Bolt.

9:35 - Forwards, then back.

9:59 - Take out the enemies with the Heavy Lancer, and use the Vaporizer to destroy the ship.

11:33 - Before continuing with the level, I go back to the start and jump off a ledge onto the top of a building. This gets us behind the fence we just saw to get the other Platinum Bolt on the planet. From here, you'll need to go forwards to go back and get inside the truck we just saw earlier to continue with this place.

13:14 - Now this is cool. Use the Swingshot to get from one car to another, and be ready to fight enemies. Use the Walloper to get rid of the orange robots that shoot fireballs.

Use the Heavy Lancer to take out the thief when they fly by, and don't forget to strafe!

16:02 - After fighting off the thief a second time, the truck will tip over. You're continuing on foot from here.

16:47 - Those robots were not quick on the draw.

17:54 - We're getting the Miniturret Glove here. This glove lets you throw out turrets that fire missiles at enemies, but the turrets don't last for long. Best when combined with another weapon like the Heavy Lancer.

18:40 - Your third fight with the thief. Watch for the orange glow, so you can strafe jump when the thief fires. When the back-up shows up, fire at the thief with the Mini-Nuke to finish the thief off quickly. 

You'll then get the experiment back, and Ratchet and Clank will call Mr. Fizzwidget. You'll then get the coordinates to the next rendezvous point, and you'll find out in a video clip that is also a thinly veiled parody of 3M that Megacorp is not a very nice corporation (but then again, when are they ever nice?).

21:43 - You'll then land on Planet Tabora, where Fizzwidget lands on your ship and destroys it before the experiment gets handed off. After a ride on Fizzwidget's ship, Fizzwidget hits the ejector seat switch and maroon Ratchet and Clank in the middle of the desert.

Skill Points:

You Can Break A Snow Dan: Destroy the snowman behind the first garage in the planet, which is near the start. This is most likely named after Dan Johnson, who is credited with working on the game.
