PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 51 of 54

In this entry, we take on all of the ship challenges that are left.

First | Previous | Next | End

1:13 - In Challenge 2 of Hrugis Cloud, you'll need to shoot down the ships that are flying around. Stay near the power receptors so you can make it easier to find the ships you need to shoot down, then give chase and fire away when they show up.

4:37 - In Challenge 3 of Hrugis Cloud, you'll have to destroy the virus-infected repair drones. This challenge goes much like the other dogfights in the game - the enemies get in front of you, you move around to avoid getting shot, then blast away once they get in front.

7:01 - In Challenge 4 of Hrugis Cloud, you'll be racing another spaceship and going through the rings. Once again, if you make it to the end without missing a ring, you'll get a Platinum Bolt.

If you start missing rings at the beginning of the race without even going through the first ring, crash your ship. That will stop the game glitching out.

Of the three races to get the Platinum Bolt in, this is the hardest one.

9:05 - In Challenge 2 of Gorn, you'll need to shoot down all of the ships in the area without getting destroyed yourself. Some of the ships drop Raritanium in addition to bolts, and I'll be using this battle later to get more of both.

11:48 - Before starting Challenge 3 on Gorn, we get a bunch of weapons and upgrades for the ship.

13:23 - In Challenge 3 of Gorn, you'll need to destroy the various parts of the big ship that is flying around. If you star running out of shiled and weapons, take out some of the smaller ships. Be sure to use your missiles to find out what parts of the large ship you have yet to shoot down. 

16:10 - In Challenge 4 of Gorn, you're racing Ace Bunyon again. Once again, you have to get to the finish line without missing a single ring for another Platinum. Thankfully, this is the last time you have to do this.
