After saving the Starship Phoenix from falling into the hands of Nefarious and his ninja robot troopers, Ratchet & Clank hear details from Captain Sasha, that Nefarious is about to unleash his Bio-Annihilator weapon on the population of Planet Koros.
|
 |
Landing on the planet, Ratchet sees the Bio-Annihilator out in orbit. There's a big planetary laser cannon in the middle of the city. If we can get to the control room, Clank thinks he can hack into the computer and fire the big gun at the Bio-Annihilator. First things first. Load up with all your goodies at the nearby Gadgetron Kiosk. Walk down the sidewalk towards the cafe with the tables and umbrellas. Load the Rift Inducer. A group of security drones hover up the sidewalk.
|
These enemies are the toughest yet! They fire plasma weapons that are fast and deadly accurate. A few hits (even with Nanohealth @ 100) is massive injury. Hide behind the Gadgetron Kiosk or one of the baracades and wait for a break.
|
 |
Fire a grenade down the sidewalk. Hopefully all the drones will get sucked into the black hole. As a back-up, quickly load the Annihilator and take down any drone left standing. One of the skill points in this level is to smash everything breakable. Use Ratchet's overhead tomahawk strike with the V2 Bolt Grabber upgrade, near the cafe. Watch the chairs, umbrellas and windows explode into a million pieces and tons of bolts! My PS2 console slowed down it was so intense!
|
Walk past the cafe. Load the MegaTurret and quickly toss one spike down to the street below even if you don't see any enemy activity. 3-4 drones will come racing across from the right and will start to open fire on Ratchet. Jump out of the way of the plamsa fire and let the turret missles take down the drones before they get away. Walk down the steps. Smash everything. Load the Plasma Coil. (Hopefully you went to Slim Cognito on Aquatos and got this weapon). If not load the Annihilator.
|
 |
Walk through the gates and look to the left down by the open courtyard. Meet Gary's cousin. THIS IS A HUGE ULTRA MECH! As he hovers down from his perch on the rooftops, fire 3-4 plasma balls right away. He goes down like a sack of potatoes. Should you use an inferior weapon and let him live for more than a few seconds, he'll light up the street with mini-missles. Watch-out for a barage of (X) target marks around you if he gets that far. Once quiet, smash everything in sight.
|
 |
Walk down the street between the buildings. Around the corner to the left, more security drones are waiting. Load the Holo-Shield and deploy a shield right on the street. Load the Annihilator. From behind the shield, peg the 2 drones on the right and wait for 2 more drones to come from the left. Chances are, your shield will burn-out at this point. Run to the open courtyard on the left and smash all the tables and umbrellas. Lots of bolts and ammo! Quickly turn around.
|
 |
More security drones are sneaking up behind you. Load the Annihilator and strafe across the courtyard, avoiding their plasma fire. Jump around if you have to! Let the weapon target lock-on find them. One blast on each drone will do the job. Run around the perimeter of the courtyard and smash all the windows and street lights. Work up to the end of the street and stand behind one of the baracades. Load the Rift Inducer. Wait for the floor grate to open. 6 more security drones!
|
 |
Quickly fire one rift grenade over the floor grate. All 6 drones should get sucked into the black hole. Don't give the drones any time to wander off the grate or you'll have a bigger headache. Again, smash everything in sight using the overhead tomahawk wrench move. To the right is a long street leading over a bridge. Load the Plasma Coil. Zoom-in to the end of the bridge as far as you can see and fire 2 pulses, vaporizing the drones blocking the way.
|
 |
Slowly walk over the bridge to about half-way. The doors to the gatehouse should still be closed. Load the MegaTurret and toss 2 spikes right in front of the doors. Load the Annihilator. With the turrets deployed and looking around, walk up to the doors until they open. With the Annihilator loaded, let your turret missles gun down the robo-troopers inside. If they survive, gun them down with the Annihilator. Inside the gatehouse a few ammo crates and a Nanotech health cube.
|
 |
At the other end of the bridge, another one of Gary's cousins AN ULTRA MECH, is hovering. Load the Plasma Coil. If he hasn't started firing at you (but probably is) quickly fire 3 pulses at the Mech. He'll go down quickly. Jump out of the way of his plasma bullets or mini-missle attack. Jump over the gap in the bridge and load the Holo-Shield. Deploy a shield right at the end of the bridge. My Holo-Shield is now at LV3. It's way too quiet??? Load the Rift Inducer and wait for arrivals.
|
2 waves of drones will drop in from the balconies of the nearby buildings. From behind the shield, fire 1 rift grenade into the middle of the pack. After that black hole evaporates, fire another grenade. Run out from behind the shield to entice more drones to come out. Remember that there are NO CONTINUE POINTS along this mission, so if you get tapped-out of Nano, you'll get rebooted way back to the start.
|
 |
Once the area is quiet, look to your right. The pile of metal boxes will give us access to the upper courtyard. More importantly, look up at the round building on the left. On the second floor, a familiar golden glow. There's a trophy up there!! Climb the metal crates and jump to the 2nd storey glass balcony of the building. Smash the window and grab the Courtney Gears Trophy that you'll now have proudly displayed back on the Phoenix... DON'T JUMP DOWN JUST YET! THERE'S MORE!
|
 |
From inside the building, walk out to the glass balcony and to the right. Below at ground level, is a black iron fence running across to the other side of the street. On the right side of the fence, look to the street. There's a titanium bolt hovering behind the crates. You probably didn't see this from the other side of the fence. Heli-glide down, grab the titanium bolt, then jump on the crates, hop over the top of the fence back to where we just were. Climb the boxes to the upper courtyard
|
 |
Get ready for a big fight! Load the Holo-Shield and deploy a shield right by the cafe tables. Load the MegaTurret, run up ahead, and toss 4 spikes in a row along the courtyard. Run back behind the shield. By now, the drones and robo-troopers have come out and are starting to fire. The turrets will start to engage the drones. Load the Annihilator and peg any robo-troopers coming in from left and right. BIG TROUBLE! Load the Plasma Coil. An overhead ship drops drone reinforcements.
|
And of course, while all this fighting is going on, AN ULTRA MECH rises up from a floor grate and joins in. Fire 3 plasma balls at him. Fire more plasma balls to break-up the party. Once the area is quiet, walk down the side streets and using Ratchet's tomahawk wrench strike, smash everything in sight. Hopefully, somewhere here, you'll be awarded the Skill Point: You Break It, You Win It!
|
 |
Before going into the Command Center, go to one of the buildings on the left. Behind the building on a side street is a wall ladder. Climb the ladder to the 2nd storey. Up top, smash the glass window and grab the titanium bolt. Heli-glide down to the ground level and watch-out for any renegade drones still lurking around. Walk into the command center with the Annihilator loaded. Take care of any resistance. MISSION COMPLETE.
