In this episode, Qwark has to punch his way through waves and waves of Amoeboids. Remember that when they explode, they break apart into 2 then into 4. The setting for this episode is the streets of Blackwater City. Watch out for moving balconies and troopers with slime throwers. Again, like previous episodes, blue tokens are worth 1 point, and red tokens are worth 10 points. Qwark has no weapon for the first little while until he reaches the first elevator.

There are 4 hidden red tokens to get in this episode if you wish to get all 100 tokens and the titanium bolt. The first red token is when Qwark first gets a gun. Off to the right is a small recess just below the electrified platform. Jump up the moving elevator pads up to the top of the streets. Watch-out for the Amoeboids popping out of the windows and jumping down from nearby balconies. In certain sections, Qwark has to hang on to a moving platform to clear a low ceiling.

The second red token is while Qwark is riding the first moving hover pad to the right. At the end of the hover pad ride, bounce up off the wall, on the right with the PINK NEON SIGN and bounce up and left to the top balcony. Keep going past all the buildings til you reach a dead-end which looks to be certain death. Drop to the pad at the very bottom right next to the electrical beams. Jump on the moving elevator pads. Up top on the left, blast down the wall and grab the 3rd red token.

Continue down the next set of balconies and through the factory with the rolling slime balls. At the next moving hover pad where Qwark has to hang on, drop down through the middle of the 2 electrical fields. Go to the left first and bash down the hidden block wall. Climb down the ladder and get the 4th and last red token. Continue on your way, down the last set of balconies, then up the last elevator shaft. Jump from pad to pad to the top for the last 5 tokens. MISSION COMPLETE.

If you win the game and have 100 tokens, Ratchet will be awarded a titanium bolt. Depending on the time to complete the game, Ratchet will be awarded bolts (as many as 20,000). At the end of the game [movie sequence begins]. The announcer guy tells the story of Dr. Nefarious and the fall of the Amoeboids. He escapes again but Qwark's follows him and holds his breath hanging onto the hull of his ship..
|
Skill Point: Set a new record for Qwark. Blow through the game as quickly as you can (don't worry about tokens) in under 2:10 (very tough).
