After defeating Captin Slag out in the Asteroid Ring, Ratchet gets an invite to go to Planet Mukow for the Imperial Fight Festival.

First thing you'll notice is that it's raining. Nothing like making you feel cold and miserable and ready for a fight! Go inside the grounds by the fountain. Use your lightning ravager to take down all the consumer bots. Along the sidewalk, around the perimeter of the fountain you'll find all your vendors for devices, weapons & armor. Load up on what you need. Our first task is to find 6 statue figurines to release the forcefield blocking the circular tunnel on the left.

 |
All 6 statues are within the confines of the fountain area, so don't go wandering off with the swingshot to other areas of the city. Go to the flaming cragmite statue in the corner first. In the path of the flames you can see the hovering golden statue. Wait for the flames to stop and grab statue 1/6. Go to the right. Whack all the nearby crates and nudge the detonator crates. Some crates are hardened steel and require a detonator crate to release bolts.

From here look right to the top of the water fountain. You may not see the statue right away, but it's there up top hidden in the gushing water [X]. Climb up the retaining wall of the fountain and super jump to grab the top bowl of the fountain. Climb up top and grab statue 2/6. Don't worry, Ratchet won't drown. It's an interesting view from up top with the gushing water cascading around you. Statue 3/6 is hidden in the bushes right beside the fountain. Jump down and grab it.

Go down to the left. Use your shock ravager and take down all the consumer bots hovering around. There's lots of raritanium and bolts. Up ahead is a small island. You can see the floating statue. The island is baracaded with a line of detonator crates. Stand right next to the edge of the water, load a fusion grenade. Make sure your target ring reaches the other side. Toss it. The detonator crates will explode in a line. Heli-glide over to the island and grab statue 4/6. Clean out the area. Heli-glide back.

 |
Walk down the sidewalk to the left. Whack all the crates and take down all the bots that cross your path. The next statue is right there out in the open. Go up and grab statue 5/6. Work around the perimeter of the island and smash everything in sight. The last statue is hidden, but not for long. If you have the bolts now, it may not be a bad idea to upgrade your armor. Especially if you're going to go to the Fight Festival?

Up against the back wall of a building, there's a forcefield blocking a set of bounce walls. Ratchet can't access this area right now. The Gadgetron Help Desk voice chimes in and explains to Ratchet that the gadget needed is not on this planet. What we need is the decryptor. Remember this spot, because once we have the decryptor, we can come back here for lots of goodies and a gold bolt. For now, move on.
|
RETURN VISIT: After Ratchet has received the decryptor in his [gadget inventory] from Planet Rykan V, fly back to Mukow, insert the gadget and decrypt the roller puzzle (it's tough). Go up the bounce walls, clean-out the raritanium chests and crates up top. Walk out to the terrace and get gold bolt #5.
|
 |
Right next to the decryptor socket, there's a high ledge. Super jump to the ledge. Go right. Across the entrance archway you can see the last statue [X]. It's a little too far to heli-glide. Jump back down and walk over to the other side of the entrance. Climb up the ledge and grab statue 6/6. Jump down to the courtyard and go to the tunnel gate on the left. The forcefield is now open. DON'T GO IN JUST YET! We'll explore this area after we finished some arena battles.
