PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 47 of 54

Not much to this one. Just going for some Raritanium just to see how it goes on Grelbin, that's all.

First | Previous | Next | End

I do another video of mining Raritanium in Planet Grelbin for the sole purpose of learning things about doing it at this point in this game.

Unlike in Tabora - where once it's collected, it's collected - the Raritanium here actually re-spawns whenever you die, just like the enemies scattered all over Grelbin. The drilling machine works the same exact way as it does in Tabora, and you get the same on-screen displays for where the nearest piece of Raritanium is, how far out of the ground you've gotten it, and all that. Other than that, getting Raritanium here is just like it is in Tabora.

However, there is a far better way to get Raritanium, and I show it off a little later.
