PrinceWatercress plays Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Part 41 of 54

We'll be spending a lot of time in Grelbin near the end of the game...well, I did when I played it.

First | Previous | Next | End

2:10 - You won't be able to go where this teleporter leads...yet. Down the ramp it is.

2:59 - Oh, hey, somebody is strangely vacationing out here in this frigid planet...oh, it's that hippie from Tabora who wants his hands greased again, this time with 10 Moonstones. Great.

4:10 - You'll see all of the Moonstones out in the open, much like the Crystals in Tabora, and just like with the Crystals there are 100 in all and any excess you collect past the tenth one will get you bolts. Once again, using the map will really come in handy here. Also, just like on that planet, you'll have to deal with a lot of enemies, such as these snow beasts that can spawn out of the ground from out of nowhere. Hit them hard with the most powerful stuff you have and keep your distance. Unlike in Tabora, the enemies re-spawn in case you die, which makes experience farming easier.

6:30 - See monsters will pop right out of the covered pools of water and shoot lasers at you from a really good distance. Just like with the snow beasts, you'll want to hit them hard and heavy. Thankfully, when one is defeated, you don't have to fight it again even when you die, as defeating one will net you a Moonstone.

19:38 - Say what you want about this guy; at least he keeps his word. He also has a piece of the Hypnomatic, but you'll need more Moonstones before you can get it.
