The Annihilation Nation challenges have been broken up into 2 distinct pages. The reason?? because THERE ARE SO MANY!! This page addresses only those in the Canyon Obstacle Course. The other page focuses on the Gladiator Arena battles.
|
 |
Heat Street:
Navigate down several sections of a lethal obstacle course featuring fire traps, break-away floor platforms, push blocks, and killer robots. Just another day at the office. Nanotech health cubes are available at the section junctions. NO AMMO CRATES! Best advice is to time your jumps as well as you can and don't stand around in one place for long. Survive the fire = 2,000 bolts.
|
Titanium Bolt:. During Heat Street, after the break-way blocks, you can see a titanium bolt on a high ledge. Clean-out the robots on the ledges, then grab the bolt.
|
 |
Crispy Critter:
Navigate down more sections of a slightly different obstacle course featuring longer fire traps, tougher break-away floor platforms, push blocks, and killer automated turrets. Nanotech health cubes are available at the section junctions. NO AMMO CRATES! Best advice is to time your jumps and definitely don't stand around in one place. Survive the fire = 2,000 bolts.
|
Skill Point: Flee Flawlessly. Make it through any gauntlet challenge with no injury. Your best chance is the first challenge, being the easiest and the shortest.
|
Skill Point: Lights, Camera, Action. During any one of the gauntlet challenges, shoot-out 5 of the hovering TV cameras. N70 Storm works as well as anything.
|
 |
Pyro Playground:
Navigate down sections of a much longer obstacle course featuring sequenced fire traps next to break-away floor platforms, push blocks, and lots of killer robots +ninjas. Nanotech health cubes are available at the section junctions. AMMO CRATES AVAILABLE! Best advice is to just survive each section and recharge your health when you can? Survive the fire = 3,000 bolts.
|
 |
Maze Of Blaze:
Another tough stretch of break-away blocks and fire traps every where. This one gets a little more interesting because hover blade balls coming flying out from every direction while you're trying to navigate some of the sections. Nothing to impossible that previous gauntlet experience hasn't taught you already? The push blocks are sneaky. Survive the fire = 4,000 bolts.

After defeating the combat fighter jet in the dock area mission on Planet Daxx, Ratchet & Clank return to Annihilation Nation to try a special gauntlet challenge.

 |
Meet Courtney Gears:
In this challenge, Courtney has cooked up tough obstacles. The break-away platforms are elevated and staggered requiring precise heli-jumping to navigate. A combat tank stands in the way inside one of the back caves. Load the Flux Rifle and snipe the tank from a distance. A group of ninjas makes things interesting near the end. Survive the fire = Qwark Vid Comic #3.

[Movie sequence begins] The moment Ratchet has been waitng for. He gets to meet the sexy, beautiful Courtney Gears. He is so excited, he's speechless. To his surprise, Courtney is just as excited to meet Clank. She is an avid fan of the Agent Clank movies and adores Clank. She will do anything (and she means anything) to make him happy. Clank is flattered. Clank suggests they meet at Holostar Studios to talk further.

After winning the Courtney Gears Gauntlet Challenge, all new challenges open up in both the Canyon Area and the main Gladiator Arena. Time to kick some butt!

|
Suicide Run:
In this challenge, break-away platforms have automated turrets that pop-up while you pass. This requires fast thinking and a good blast with the Devastator or N90 Hurricane. In some of the fire block areas, robots are waiting at the other end. Best to take them out first with the Flux Rifle using the zoom-in target, or your Agents of Doom micro-bots. Survive the fire = 5,000 bolts.
|
 |
BBQ Boulevard:
In this challenge, the break-away platforms have been moved farther apart, requiring precise heli-glide jumping. To make things interesting, there are fire bocks in between to think about, while you're jumping. There are new fire block sections in the main floor areas now and new robots patrolling while you try to navigate around the fire blocks. Survive the fire = 6,000 bolts.
|
|
|
Cremation Station:
More of the same as you would expect, but a little tougher again. Not so much the fire traps and moving blocks, but the enemies you face. More ninja fighters and robots hiding in the section junctions and lots of hovering blade balls. The best defense would be the Shield Charger if you have it. Agents Of Doom will also come in quite handy. Survive the fire = 7,000 bolts.
|
 |
The Annihilator:
The ultimate gauntlet. Lots of fire traps on quick timers, break-away blocks, but tough enemies including an attack chopper, and a few agressive robo-troopers. You definitely need the Shield Charger + Devastator to make it through. The bonus is towards the end. We are now level with a titanium bolt on a nearby hover platform. Heli-glide over and grab the bolt before completing the challenge. Survive the fire = 8,000 bolts.
|
Skill Point: Be an 8-time Champ. This is awarded after you complete ALL 8 gauntlet challenges successfully in Annihiliation Nation. It won't award you the trophy?
