Chances are you're now back at the smuggler and have cashed in all your Leviathan souls so far. But there is more exploring to be done. All the islands and outposts have to be scoured for bolts, goodies and some skill points. First, go to the Weapons Vendor nearby and upgrade your weapons with raritanium. I had just enough to complete my upgrade on nano-swarmers to include the Zero-Kelvin Laser Diode. Now the laser stingers freeze enemies.

From the robo-wing launch pad by the smuggler, take-off and fly straight ahead to the Kerchu drilling rig platforms out in the water. Land on a dock platform. Load and deploy Mr.Zurkon. The open square dock platform has 2 Kerchu cyclone sentries patrolling. In the middle, gold bolt #18. Play cat and mouse with the cyclone sentries and grab the bolt. Load your raptor launcher. Explore the drilling rigs with Mr.Zurkon, and destroy the Kerchu pyroguards.

Glide over to the grassy island. There are 3 Grunthors lurking around. I used up Mr.Zurkon so I went with a different strategy here. Load the alpha disruptor and wait for the first Grunthor. As he attacks, charge up the rifle, wait for a lock-on and fire 1 shot. If that doesn't kill him, use your raptor launcher to kill him. Wait for the 2 Grunthors to appear AT THE SAME TIME! Deploy a nano-swarmer beacon then shoot with the disruptor. Collect the souls and raritanium.

 |
Walk up to the next set of drilling rigs and take down the Kerchu pyroguards. Whack all the nearby crates. You should get a partial recharge on disruptor and swarmer ammo. Walk down the ramp by the Troglosaur. Load the alpha disruptor and vaporize the waiting Grunthor. Collect his soul and walk over the hill. DON'T KILL THE ANTHROPODS YET! Load a nano-swarmer beacon and zap the next Grunthor down in the valley by the launch pad. Now go back up the hill.
|
 |
Walk around the area. Make the Anthropods pop-up, and corral at least 12 Anthropods in a group. Load the tornado launcher. Use the six axis controller to steer and suck up all the snails into the tornado. If successful, you'll earn Skill Point 26: It Sounded Like A Freight Train (10 pts) Pick-up the raritanium and bolts they leave behind. Walk around the perimeter and whack all the crates you can find. Recharge what you can. Go to the robo-wing launch pad.

Fly out to the group of small islands. Land anywhere. There are 3 more Grunthors and several hovering Drohynoids and roaming Anthropods. Work your way around the islands, collecting raritanium, bolts and Grunthor souls. I stuck with the lightning ravager on the gorund, the raptor launcher missles for fliers, and played with different weapons on the Grunthors. Take advantage of a bonus multiplier crate [X]. Clean-out the islands while bonus is in play.

When you're satisfied that you've scoured everything, go to the robo-wing launch pad. Fly high in the sky circling around, and land on the back of the Troglosaur in this area. Grab gold bolt #19. Walk up his back. Wait for the head to swing up and Thruster glide to his flat-top head. Slide off when he leans down to eat, and go back to the robo-wing launch pad. Fly all the way back to the smuggler. Don't land just yet. Circle around to the back of the Troglosaur.

This is the big guy right next to the smuggler and all the vendors. Land on his back. Collect the raritanium from the chests, and when he rasies his head, glide down to his flat-top. If you've landed on all the Troglosaur heads, you'll earn Skill Point 27: Head Examiner (10 pts). Slide down from his head and talk to the smuggler. Exchange all your Leviathan souls. If you've killed all Grunthors, you'll earn Skill Point 28: Extinction (10 pts).

Another bonus.. If you've collected at least 20 Leviathan souls and brought them to the smuggler, between Cobalia, Nundac and Sargasso, you'll earn Skill Point 53: Bolts In The Bank (10 pts). Love it! I now have over 300 points and unlocked a great cheat feature. The Developer Commentary bots appear in several places dotted around all the planets. You'll learn alot about the software people and how they created various components of the game, like audio, video and gameplay.

From here, Capt'n Qwark invited us (remember the plumber) to participate in some new battles at the Imperial Fight Festival (your next mission). Go to your starship Aphelion and fly back to Planet Mukow.
