We find ourselves back at the MegaCorp kiosk by the start of the level. Load up on any ammo you may need and this time head down the sidewalk in the other direction. Don't forget to shoot-down the overhead security cameras. Load the heavy lancer or tesla claw and aim-in on the red explosive crate next to the trash can. Fire 1 shot to blow-up the area. 5 sweeper-bots come running out to clean up the mess. Peg all the sweeper-bots, then go into the next area.

Peg the trash can in this area, and then load the seeker gun and fire one drone for each janitor-bot that comes out. Look for overhead security cameras, and shoot-out the wall lamps shaped lie a horseshoe. They're breakable and give lots of bolts. In the next area, there are more sweeper-bots. Load the tesla claw and zap all of them. There are sweeper-bots on the steps as well. Jump in the air and zap from mid-air. Go up top and out the circular tunnel.
|
 |
Load the heavy lancer and knock-out the trash can in the middle of the room. Several sweeper-bots come out from behind the doors. Peg them off as they come close. 2 janitor bots come out as well as Ratchet walks through the room. Go out the circular tunnel on the left, once the forcefield has been deactivated.

Uhoh! We have big-time enemy company, here to greet us. The Thug boss is in a fighter chopper and is waiting for Rachet. Load the seeker gun and fire a couple of shots at the chopper. He gets angry and moves away. He'll be back! Go around the corner and jump across the 2 parked platform hover-boats. Load the heavy lancer and take out the sweeper-bots blocking your way. Down the next long alleyway, are several janitor-bots. Destroy them from the corner platform.
|
 |
Use the heli-pack to jump across the gap. Go to the very end of the alleyway. When you first look, you would think this is the edge of a cliff. Look down over the edge. There is a small balcony below and a platinum bolt. Jump down and grab the bolt. Whack the streetlights for bolts, then climb the wall ladder back up to the alleyway. Look up in the sky with the lancer target ring and make sure you shoot all the overhead security cameras.

 |
Go to the open doorway in the wall. Down below is another trash can and several storage rooms. Load the mini-nuke and blow-up the trashcan from the alleyway. Several sweeper-bots come out. Toss 1-2 more grenades down below, to give you a head start on the clean-up. Before going down, load the blitz gun. Heli-glide down to the lower level and start firing right away. 2 janitor-bots come out and are very close. Ratchet may take a health injury or 2, but that's ok.

 |
Once the area is clear, go out the tunnel to the next balcony. Off to the left is a grindrail complex. We can't get to the rail just yet, because we don't have a swingshot. Go right and take the elevator pad up to the top. The Thug boss is waiting up top. Load the seeker gun and fire one drone at the chopper. He gets spooked and takes off again. Fire 2 more seeker drones at the janitor-bots coming down the walkway. Whack all the streetlights and go inside the far building.
|
 |
Take the next elevator pad up to the top. Inside this small room are 2 trashcans and several storage closets. Load the mini-nuke and toss 1 grenade between the 2 trashcans, exploding both of them. This will bring out all the sweeper-bots and janitor-bots. Load the blitz gun and go on a rampage. Jump into the room and fire away. Once the dust settles, clean-up all the bolts and whack all the wall lamps. Go out the tunnel to the narrow balcony. The game will mark and auto-save this as a continue point. Time to fight the Thug Boss.

This Thug Boss is all talk! He thinks Ratchet is such a pain and is taking great pleasure in taking him down. The trick is to whack the chopper as hard as you can, while it's not moving. Load the seeker gun, avoid the plasma ball tazers, and fire as many drones as you can. Clean-out all your ammo. The chopper will start to fall apart and the Thug Boss starts getting mad and yells. He then switches weapons to a machine gun. This shatters the balcony blocks and leaves Ratchet vulnerable.
|
 |
Jump from left to right to avoid the missle fire as best you can. Load the mini-nuke, wait for the chopper to stop, and toss a grenade when you see the target ring on the chopper. BE PATIENT! You can see your progress at the bottom with the Thugs health bar. Last line of defense is the heavy lancer. Shoot like mad at the chopper, avoiding his fire as best you can. No matter what, Ratchet will take injury. The idea is just to stay alive. Eventually the chopper sputters and falls.
|
 |
You never see the chopper explode, but you do hear the Thug Boss cursing as the chopper falls away into the clouds below. A teleport pad materializes on the balcony. Take the teleport pad to Clank's apartment. Mission completed.
