Welcome to the big city. Nice bright skies on this planet. Go down the set of stairs to the MegaCorp kiosk and load up on anything you need. If you haven't bought the pulse rifle yet. now would be the time. There are 2 choices, left or right. I chose to go left. Overhead, there are hovering security cameras everywhere. Load the heavy lancer, zoom auto-aim [L1] and blow them out of the sky. Whack all the nearby crates then approach the steel door.

On the left wall is a circuit portal. Use the electrolyzer and repair the switch network. As on Maktar Nebula, the secret is to align all the electrodes to the blue wire sparks as they travel up and down the grid. Once complete, the grid will turn green, the electrolyzer will disengage and whatever you are repairing will now work. In this case, the door will open. Inside the room are several sweeper-bots. Load the tesla claw and zap away. The overhead spotlamps are breakable.

To the left is another corridor with 2 larger janitor-bots. These guys have infa-red lasers that sweep from left to right. Load the heavy lancer or seeker gun and peg them off one at a time. Up ahead is a control room. Use the electrolyzer to repair the circuit. Each circuit get a little tougher the more you get used to the gadget. The secret is to watch the blue sparks carefully. They always take the same path. You may have to do this several times to complete the circuit.

Now we get to operate some heavy machinery. In this case, an overhead crane. We can kill 2 birds with one stone here. Move the crane to the crate, lower it, and pick it up. Now look for a sweeper-bot down below and drop the crate on them. Why waste ammo? Squish all 6 sweeper-bots then move the crate right below the access tunnel at the end. This gives Ratchet a step, to climb up and out the tunnel. Disengage the crane and then jump down to the crane floor. Clean-up the mess and walk out the tunnel.

 |
We're outside again. Before jumping across the 2 hovering platform boats, load the seeker gun. Fire one drone and take-out the janitor-bot first, then jump to the far platform. Up ahead is a meaner rivet-bot. He fires rivets but is not a very good shot at long range. Fire one seeker drone and he goes down like a sack of potatoes. Don't forget to shoot-out all the spot-lamps and street lights along the way. To the left is another rivet bot. Fire 1 seeker drone and watch him explode.
|
 |
Walk down the sidewalk all the way to the end. More sweeper-bots come out of a storage room. Load the tesla claw and zap 'em all. To the left is another janitor-bot. Load the seeker gun and take him down plus the rivet-bot on the other side of the platform. Clean-out the area and jump to the other building by the stairs. You'll notice there are cars and trucks flying by, in both directions. Time for some target practice. Load the heavy lancer or blitz gun and take-down all the vehicles that are circling on these 2 routes.
|
SKILL POINT STRATEGY: In many cases, you'll never know when or where a skill point will come. On every planet, you should shoot-out or destroy anything that moves, or looks breakable, even if it means consuming alot of ammo.

 |
Inside the building are more sweeper-bots. Load the mini-nuke or tesla claw and clean-out the room. To the left is another set of crane rooms. Use the electrolyzer to repair the circuit to the crane controls. First assignment is to take down all the sweeper-bots and janitor bots. Instead of going for the black cargo crate, lower the crane and pick-up one of the janitor-bots. Move the overhead crane inside the next room and with the bots' laser, take down the sweeper-bots.
|
 |
If you take down 10 robots between the last crane room and this set of crane rooms, you'll be awarded a skill point. Now we have to get inside these rooms. To the left of the crane control window, there' a steel vault door. Inside the second crane room, there's a red cargo crate. Drop the janitor-bot (he'll explode) and pick-up that cargo crate. Carry it into the first room and drop it in front of the vault door. The red crate will sound an alarm and detonate. It blows the door.
|
 |
Before going in, we still have more crane work to do. Go find the black cargo crate in room 2. Move it to the far side of the room, to the center of the steel catwalk, right against the wall on the left (blind spot). Drop the black crate. Go get the red cargo crate and stack it on top of the black crate. This will explode another steel vault door. Switch-off the crane controls and go inside the room and down to the second room. Climb up on the black crate, go down the small access tunnel and grab the platinum bolt inside.
|
 |
Go back to the crane control room. Drop the crane on the black cargo crate and move it into room 3. Drop the crate in front of the access tunnel at the end. Leave the control room and walk all the way around into room 3. Don't forget to shoot-out all the spot lamps, in the bolt room and in the crane rooms. Climb on the crate then jump up and grab the ledge to the tunnel. Your screen camera will show you, there are are 2 rivet-bots waiting for you in the next room.
|
 |
Jump up and load the blitz gun or mini-nuke. These guys are at close range, so just fire away. When Ratchet walks inside the room, a door on the left opens and 5 more sweeper-bots come out. Fire the blitz gun and take care of business. On the other side of the room are more sweeper-bots. Use your weapon of choice. Whack the crates on the left and grab the Nanotech health sphere if need be, then take the hover-pad elevator up. Shoot-out all the lamps in the upper tunnel.
|
 |
Go to the end of the tunnel. Movie sequence begins. Down below is the room where the thief is holding Clank. The thief sees Ratchet and pushes him over the edge down into the room. He is now trapped. The thief escapes. Ratchet has to somehow revive Clank. Use the electrolyzer and repair the circuit. Clank springs to life! We have our old buddy back. First things first, though. We have to find a way out. Clank has a solution and goes out on his own. Mission complete.
