Ratch & Clank have escaped from Emporer Tachyon back on Planet Kerwan. The air destroyer crash lands on Cobalia, but they're okay. Time to find a new ride.
|
 |
Cobalia is more like a jungle planet. The path is lined with ferns and lush vegetation. Load your combuster. The enemies are new. The first small critter is a snapper frog. He's small and for the most part harmless. They can be whacked with a wrench easily, but in groups they are dangerous. The other larger enemy is a spitting centipede. This guy is a little larger and has protective armor as well as a nasty green slime spit. They need more firepower to take down.

Work your way up the steps and around the cliffs, taking down all the critters you see along the way. Watch out for the steam cracks in the ground. They usually cycle in one direction. Whack all the crates in the hidden alcoves. Stick with the combuster all the way through. Because it's at V2 now, it has a longer range and will take down the cenitpedes from a safe distance. When you make it to the canyon gap, use Clank's Heli-Pack to jump across. Clean out the critters.

Up by the first building entrance, Ratchet encounters a really big Levaithan. He raises his head out of the canyon but quickly disappears. Chances are you won't kill him in time, but don't worry, you'll see him again soon. Cross the stone bridge and watch for the spitting centipedes crawling down the cliff faces. There's a few of them. Make sure to use your strafe move [L2] and stay at a distance to avoid all the spit slime. Go to the left first [X] by the building.

 |
Find the small cliff ledge on the left. Super jump [R2+X] and grab the ledge. Up top, walk out to the edge of the canyon. The treasure chest will open when you approach. These chests are full of Raritanium crystals. Raritanium is like bolt currency and used for upgrading weapons (any version weapon). When you find a Gadgetron weapons vendor, you can exchange crystals for more speed, damage, and longer range.
|
 |
Once cleaned-out, go inside the building. The exit archway is blocked by a stack of crates. Whack away and gather all the bolts. Go outside to the cliff balcony. The path ahead is down below in the swamp, jumping across all the islands. Use Clank's Heli-Pack, and glide across to the larger island. Load your combuster and take care of business. Jump across the islands to the open area leading up to the next building. Get ready for a bug fight. Swarms of enemies are coming.

Take down all the critters and whack all the crates. Go inside the structure and at the end, wall jump-bounce up to the second level. The room is filled with crates. There's a new shiny metal crate with a [?]. This is a bolt multiplier on a timer. When you whack the crate, you'll see little floating bolts around Ratchet. Each bolt is a multiplier factor. 5 bolts = 5 times the value. The floating bolts disappear every 3-4 seconds so be fast. This room = 5,000 bolts.
|
 |
Walk out through the hole in the wall and look over the valley below. It's swarming with snapper frogs. Use fusion grenades. Look for a target ring on the ground and toss 2 grenades. That should take care of them. If not, go down and whack them with your wrench. Jump up the next small ledge and walk out to the marshy swamp area. Time to fight your first Leviathan. Make sure all your weapons are fully recharged and your health is at maximum.
