Ratchet sees his future and it doesn't look bright, but he is on his own and resolves to fight. REMEMBER! that you can't do long jumps now (no Clank to heli-glide). Walk up the steps and go into the dark caves. There are 2 temporal shift warriors lurking. Use the Mag-Net Launcher on either one the moment you see them materialize. Look for the small white target ring in the dark to be sure. 2 Mag-Nets on each one will do it.
|
 |
When the temporal warriors explode in pieces, they leave behind 4 critters. Take care of the critters with the Pyro Blaster or your wrench will do. Go through the doorway into the next cave. There is a hive spitting out critters and 2 more temporal shift warriors roaming around. Use the Judicator first on the hive and your wrench on the critters. When they're cleaned out, use the Mag-Net Launcher on the temporal warriors. Clean-up all the raritanium left behind.

Walk out to the large cave with the lava gel lake below. Use your swingshot and tarzan across the versa-targets to the next open area. It's too quiet! Get ready for a fight. More temporal warriors materialize around you. They go in and out of space and are very hard to pin down. Watch out for their return gunfire. They will come out of nowhere. Try and focus on one and quickly trap them with the Mag-Net Launcher. Use a 2nd Mag-Net right away before they vanish.
|
 |
Once they're gone, whack all the critters left behind. Approach the edge of the area. 2 stalagtites fall from the cave ceiling creating a stepping bridge. Carefully jump across the new sections and go to the right. Whack the 2 ammo crates first then go to the Weapons Vendor and load-up. Upgrade your Mag-Net Launcher with your raritanium reserves as best you can. On the right, you can see a series of steps [X] but can't reach them without Clank's heli-glide.
|
 |
Carefully jump back to the islands then walk up the slope to the next open area. More temporal warriors and a few critter hives. Take care of the critters and hives first with a Toxic Swarmer beacon, eventhough the warriors are shooting at you. Leave them. Don't worry about taking a hit right now, just get the first job done. Now use the Mag-Net Launcher on the warriors as they shift from spot to spot. They seem to be getting faster and faster at shifting?
|
 |
Work your way up the slope to the last sections of the cave. More temporal shift warriors block your way. Use strafe to avoid crossfire and like before, as soon as you see a warrior materialize, quickly delpoy the Mag-Net Launcher and follow them closely. As soon as they break free from the 1st Mag-Net, fire another one before they get a chance to disappear. Once quiet, 2 more stalagtites fall from the ceiling, creating a step path out through the cave exit.
|
 |
Before jumping across the stalagtites to the cave exit, look down over the edge to the right. (I saw this quite by accident). There's a small hover platform, way down at the bottom. Jump across the stalagtite on the right and blind jump down to the hover pad. Use a Heli-Pod to raise the hover pad to the upper cave ledge. Walk around the corner and grab the raritanium from the chests and gold bolt #28. From here, jump down through the cave exit to the ground below.

Walk over the floating steps and rejoin with Talwyn, Cronk & Zephyr. [movie sequence begins] Ratchet is relieved to be free of the nightmare and is glad to be joined again with his friends. Talwyn thought you were dead for sure after meeting Tachyon. Clank is nowhere around and nobody has seen him. Ratchet is depressed, but so is Zephyr. He's all broken apart and Cronk holding his head, sees that his body is all torn up. It's gonna take awhile to fix him
|
 |
Just when all seems lost and Ratchet resigns himself that he has lost Clank, guess who shows up? In a flash of white light, Clank appears next to Talwyn. Ratchet is so happy to see him, and nearly hugs him. BUT... he comes to his senses and shakes hands. They're reunited once again. Talwyn tells Ratchet that Meridian City is under attack and they have to go try and stop Tachyon from destroying the galaxy.
|
 |
BUT... before going on to Planet Igliak, we have unfinished business. Now that we have Clank back, time to go get that gold bolt. Go back up the elevator pad and go back inside the cave network. Walk down the sloped areas all the way back to the Weapons Vendor. From the edge of the platform, heli-glide over to the steps. Super jump up the steps and up top grab gold bolt #29 and alot of raritanium.

 |
GAMEPLAY NOTE: There is another temporal warrior waiting for you by the cave exit after you have retrieved the last gold bolt on the planet. Use the Mag-Net Launcher again on this guy. You will earn Skill Point 40: Gotta Catch'em All (10 pts). Not sure this was by accident or whether you have to in fact use the Mag-Net on ALL the commandos including the regular ones?
