Our next mission is to search the ruins of the destroyed city. There is reason to believe there are new weapons to be found. Of course this isn't going to be easy.
|
 |
Before venturing into the other part of the city, it is advised you load up on everything at the Gadgetron Kiosk. You are probably going to use up everything in your arsenal before you're done. From the central town square, find the hover taxi and fly over to the platform by the archway. Before leaving the comfort of the taxi, load the blaster. You can see a machine-gun turret dead ahead, that is waitng for you to land on the deck. You can destroy the turret even before landing!
|
 |
Don't go any farther than the arch at this point. Up ahead is a flying security drone ship. It doesn't fire any missles, but once it detects you, it will trip nearby machine-gun turrets. Load the visibomb gun, and when the ship is at its farthest point away from Rachet, fire and guide one missle. You should have enough maneuvering room to steer and hit the ship. Once the drone ship is destroyed, 2 machine-gun turrets will start firing directly down the walkway. The trail of bullets ends right at the edge of the arch.
|
 |
While out of range from the machine-gun fire, load the disruptor. Use the zoom auto-aim target ring and lock-in on the machine-gun turrets. This is a precise lock-on so be careful. Fire one missle on each turret. This will clear the path. Load the pyrocitor and move to the next area. Take care of the hovering tripod robots that come down to greet you. You'll hear metal canisters dropping. There are more tripod robots being deployed as you watch. Find the 2 robot generator hives.
|
 |
One generator hive is in the left corner of the lower platform. The other generator hive is up top on the second platform. Once the area is clear, jump to the second platform. The machine-gun turrets on the far balcony start to fire. Load the swingshot and lock-on to the single versa-target. Wait for the cycle of the machine-gun turrets to criss-cross then release the swingshot. You will land right when the turrets are firing blind to the left and right. Jump to the left onto the pile of rubble. Grab the Nanotech health shpere.
|
 |
Load the bomb glove. Aim the target ring over the machne-gun turret on the left and toss 1 bomb. Once destroyed, aim the target over the far machine-gun turret and toss another bomb. The area should now be clear. Jump down from the rubble and load the pyrocitor. Wait for the tripod hover robots to float down to the platform, then flame all 3 from close range. Clear the area and then climb up the wall ladder on the right. Up top are 5 security drone ships and 4 machine-gun turrets. This is not going to be easy!
|
 |
Load the visibomb gun. Fire and guide one missle into any of the spaceships. The resulting explosion will cause all the remaining drone ships to go into alarm mode. The machine-gun turrets will also start-up. Destroy them first. If need be, jump back down to the safety of the ladder and load the blaster or disruptor. Take out all 4 turrets, one at a time, even if Rachet has to sustain major health damage. You need to stop the guns, before you can fire at the drone ships.
|
Load the disruptor. Fire 2 missles into each of the drone ships to blow them up. If need be, use zoom auto-aim to lock-on to the targets. Once the area is clear, whack the 3 tripod robots with Rachet's wrench (no weapon needed). With the disruptor still loaded, walk down the platform. 2 more machine-gun turrets will start. Zoom auto-aim on the turrets, and fire 1 disprutor missle into each one. This area is finally clear!
|
 |
From the end of the platform, you can see a pontoon hoverboat circling aimlessly around a building. Above the boat, is a single versa-target. Load the swingshot. As the hoverboat passes, fire the swingshot and swing over to the boat. Take the boat all the way around the building. Look for another single versa-target off to the left, inside a narrow tunnel. As the boat passes the versa-target, fire the swingshot and swing over to the tunnel in the far building. This may take 2-3 tries because the target lock is tight.
|
 |
Inside the tunnel, Load the glove of doom first. Up ahead in the room, are 4 drone security ships, and 6 machine-gun turrets. Once you set-off the alarm by hitting one of the ships, the machine-gun turrets open a barage of gunfire, which will be almost impossible to protect yourself from. Toss 2 doom canisters and let the 8 nano-robots all hatch. Load the drone shield and activate a circle of drones around Rachet. Now load the disruptor and shoot 1 missle into 1 of the ships. Retreat back to the tunnel and hide.
|
The entire area will be filled with machine-gun fire. Guard yourself as best you can and wait for the nano-robots to destroy the turrets up ahead. Once the coast is clear, go inside the room, load the disruptor and take out the remaining security ships. If you run out of disruptor missles (it will be close), use the blaster instead.
|
 |
Clean-up all the bolts and the Nanotech health sphere. Go out the far tunnel and cross the floating pedestal platforms. Watch-out for a machine-gun turret dead ahead. Load the swingshot and wait for the passing hoverboat. Climb on the first hoverboat and ride around to the back of the building. A second hoverboat will come from Rachet's left, circling in the opposite direction. Lock-on to the versa-target (will be very hard), and land on the next hoverboat. Take that hoverboat to the far circular platform.
|
When you are at the closest point to the circular platform, take a long running-jump down to the platform. Remember that you don't have Clank with you, so you have no jet-hover ability. Take-out the 3 machine-gun turrets right away with whatever weapon you want, or have loaded (even a trusty wrench will do at this point).
|
 |
Take care of the security drone ship and the tripod robots. Load the metal detector. There are lots of bolts hidden inside this platform. Once you're cleaned up, climb the ladder on the center cylinder up to the top. Grab the morph-o-ray gun. This is one of the ultimate weapons of the game. NO AMMO REQUIRED!! Just point and shoot. Turn your small enemies into chickens, with a close-range electric tazer blast. Ride the grindrail back to the shuttle pad. Mission now complete.
