In Blackwater City, Rachet's first mission is to find the location where they are holding the hoverboard races, and then enter the race. Don't forget, Rachet has that new Z3000 hoverboard from Skid McMarx, that he is dying to try out.
|
 |
Planet Rilgar is another dark planet and all gaming action is under the lights. Before going anywhere, make sure Rachet is fully loaded with ammo from the Gagdetron kiosk. Off to the right, jump to the boat in the water, then heli-jump over to the island with the building. If you land in the water here, the big fish will swallow you and spit you out back by your ship. Load the blaster and jump on the flashing floor grate. This will disarm the security and open the garage door.
|
 |
2 security soldiers will come running out. Peg them with 2-3 good auto-aim blasts. inside the garage is a moving tank. This one take 5-6 blasts to explode. I wouldn't use the glove of doom with your nano-robots here. The tank likes to blow them up from close range, so you may find it a waste. Go inside the garage and clean-up all the goodies. The dark blue crates can only be broken by detonating a nearby flashing red crate or using a disruptor (which we don't have yet).
|
 |
Walk out the other side of the garage and heli-jump to the barge in the water. Heli-jump again over to the next island with another garage. Hopefully your blaster is still loaded. Jump on the flashing floor grate and get ready. 4-5 security soldiers come running out this time. Peg away with your blaster. Like before take down the tank in the room. Be a little cautious this time. This tank likes to fire back with the cannon. Clean-out the room and go out the far door.
|
 |
Jump on the next flashing floor grate. A suspended walkway will activate connecting the far platform. On the other side are 6-7 more security soldiers waiting for you. Go half-way, load the blaster, and using auto-aim, fire away. On the far platform, clean-up the bolts, break the crates and re-charge with the Nanotech health sphere should you need it. Walk into the elevator silo and jump on the flashing floor grate. This takes you up to the next open area.
|
 |
Watch-out for the approaching ameboid. This enemy is not only aggessive, but when fired upon, they mutate and split into 2, then mutate again and split into 4. I chose to load the glove of doom for this enemy. The 4 nano-robots, will at least cut down the odds and do some of the work for you. After you throw the doom canister, load the pyrocitor to flame any of the little ameboids that are left. Flaming them is more effective than the blaster. You can sweep the flame thrower while they are moving.
|
GAMEPLAY HINT: Try NOT to walk over or jump on the flashing floor grate, while you are fighting the ameboids. You don't want to compound Rachet's problems, by releasing more security soldiers from the 2 rooms. If by accident, you DO activate the floor grate, I would quickly throw 2 more doom canisters to help out.
|
 |
Now trip the floor grate. Take care of the security soldiers with either the pyrocitor, the blaster or 2 doom canisters. At the end of the garage on the right, there is a hover-taxi that will take you downtown. Once the taxi stops, jump down to the street area below. You may want to load up first at the Gadgetron kiosk before venturing further. There is an army of security soldiers up ahead. Before going down the street, go to the left and look for the wobbly metal drain-cover being lifted by the steam geyser.
|
 |
Watch the cycle of the steam geyser and when it stops, quickly jump on the draincover. The steam will push Rachet up to a 2nd storey ledge. Break all the crates up top and jump back down to the street. There is another steam geyser at the end of the street on the right, next to the street-dude. Load the blaster and take down all the security soldiers and the tank. Ride the other steam geyser, clean-out the upper ledge, then approach the street-dude.
|
 |
[Action sequence begins]. The street dude or arms dealer if you like, tells Rachet & Clank about his secret weapon, the R.Y.N.O. According to Clank, this is the galaxy's most powerful assault weapon and is highly coveted. The only problem is coming up with the outrageous 150,000 bolts to buy it. Ok... as if that is ever going to happen. Needless to say, we can't go shopping today! Walk to the end of the street, go in the silo, and take the elevator up to the next cave
complex.
|
 |
Inside the cave complex there is a large central chamber with what looks likes a prisoner holding pit. You can see a group of ameboids walking around below. Load the doom of glove and toss 4 canisters into the pit. This will start a chain reaction confusing the ameboids into a mutating frenzy. Load the pyrocitor first and jump down and join them in the firefight. Take out all the stragglers and then jump on the flashing floor grate. Flame all the security guards that run out. Climb the far ladder and cean out up top.
|
WEAPON STRATEGY: You'll definitely find this section easier the second time around, if you have won
the Sonic Summoner from Skid's Agent. All you do is stand on the side of the cave rim and let your sand mice do their thing. There is a Summoner beacon nearby on the walkway.
|
 |
Jump back down to the pit, make sure everything is cleaned-out then go out the far door to another elevator silo. Take this one to the upper roof area. Up top you are confronted by a grid of holding cells enforced with electric fences. I would keep the pyrocitor loaded. Everything at close range can be flamed.. OR if you're lazy, you can do a combination of glove of doom nano-robots first, then the pyrocitor. Walk on the floor grates and clean each section cage as the grid opens up.
|
 |
Once you have completed the grid maze, you are out on another city street. Take the steam geyser up to the next area where there are 2 tanks waiting. Load the glove of doom and throw 2 cansiters between the tanks, while you are avoiding cannon fire up top. The nano-robots will do your work. Before going on, walk back to the platform and heli-jump from the top of the geyser over to the maze support columns. Let's get that secret gold bolt. Catwalk along the top to the front cage. Drop in and grab the bolt!
|
 |
Walk back out of the maze, jump on the steam geyser to the platform. Go through the garage area down to the left and up the elevator. You are know at the central city courtyard. Approach the woman in the middle. [Action sequence begins]. She is the hostess for the hoverboard races. Rachet tells her he is filling-in for Skid McMarx and wants to compete in the race. She is reluctant but gives him a ticket. The actual hoverboard race is on the next walkthrough page.
