PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 19 of 54

In this entry, we take some time away from the story to get some things.

First | Previous | Next | End

2:40 - The Nanotech Boost in Tabora. You'll need to ascend with the glider so that you can get to the top of the fourth tower in the lava trail.

7:54 - Replaying the Electrolyzer fight in the Maktar Nebula arena for more experience.

11:33 - The Blitz Gun becomes the Blitz Cannon, which shoots a lightning shot with even further range.

12:58 - The Hazard Challenge. Once again, you're taking out all the enemies, although the hazards you'll need to avoid are the centerpiece of all this.

14:38 - The Chainblade Challenge. When he gets in front of you, do an airborne wrench strike. When he backs up and slices at the floor, jump while strafing. Beating him with just the wrench gives you a skill point.

17:01 - Buying the Synthenoid. The Synthenoid unleashes four support robots that float next to you and shoot at nearby enemies. They won't last forever and they will eventually disappear after each one shoots enough times. These things can help against multiple enemies.

17:20 - The Time Challenge. You'll need to beat 30 enemies in 30 seconds. The Lava Gun and the Megaturret Glove can really help here.

Wrench Ninja: Blade to Blade: Beat Chainblade in the Maktar Nebula battle arena using only the wrench.
