Not online V1.1 -> Added Sections 6, 7 and 8 ; I rented the game... V1.2 -> Added all sections (Just bought the game, two years late...:-) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 1-> E-mail policy It's simple, if you have an alternate/easier way to beat a boss or if I forgot a boss fight, let me know, but put "Ratchet & Clank 2 Bosses" in the subject line. Don't send me an e-mail to tell me that this FAQ is ****, ****** or simply ***** ********... :) IMPORTANT NOTE : STOOOOOOOOOP E-MAILING ME TO TELL ME THAT YOU KILLED THE MUTANT PROTOPET WITH THE RYNO2!!! IT'S OBVIOUS! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 2-> Planet Oozla - Megacorp Outlet Swamp Monster Very Easy Before you get the Dynamo This monster will try to crush you under one of his tails. This is his only attack. Just shoot the crap out of him and you'll be finished with it in no time. If you want a little challenge, try to kill it with only your wrench... If you manage to hit it, it could be fun... *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 3-> Maktar Nebula - Maktar Resort Chainblade Fair Gladiator Fighting Arena When Chainblade swings his swords, jump in any direction,but don't jump in Chainblade's direction...:p Then, take your Blitz Gun/Cannon or (Heavy) Lancer, and shoot him until he starts swinging his swords again. When he starts hovering above the ground and throwing his "chainblades" at you, jump sideways and you should be fine. Shoot him when he gets back on the ground. NOTE : If you want to get a skill point, kill him with your wrench only. The best way to do this is to wait until you have the Omniwrench 12,000 from the Thugs-4-Less Prison in Aranos, but it's pretty simple even with the regular Omniwrench 8,000. Just jump when he swings his chainblades and hyper-strike him Don't use any other weapon than the wrench and you'll get the skill point. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 4-> Maktar Nebula - Maktar Resort B2 Brawler Hard Gladiator Fighting Arena When the B2 Brawler arrives, it'll stand almost still and shoot purple things at you. Jump sideways and do backflips while shooting it with your Blitz Gun/Cannon until it lies down. Its enormous legs will be spinning around the arena. Jump (not sideways!) when a leg comes near you, and continue shooting. It's hard work but it can be done. NOTE : You'll get a skill point if you manage to destroy the B2 Brawler without taking any damage. Be extremely careful not to get hit by the spinning legs! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 5-> Planet Endako - Megapolis Thugs-4-Less Leader - Chopper Fairly Easy Near Clank's Apartment The chopper has three basics attacks. Your success on this one depends on your ability to strafe precisely. One of the numbskull's attacks is to shoot at you with a machine gun. just jump sideways above the bullets to avoid them. Another attack he has is to send electric "pillars" at you. When he does that, run around, avoiding the beams. His final attack is, guess what, rockets. (What an original boss fight... :) Again, jump sideways to avoid them. Shoot him with the Blitz Gun/Cannon, Gravity Bomb/Mini-Nuke, (Heavy) Lancer, or anything else you have. When he hurls rockets at you, try and make them crash into the blocks around the arena to help you aim at the chopper. Also, be careful when you jump sideways, you can fall easily... *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 6-> Planet Siberius - Frozen Base The Unknown Medium On top of the train and on the arena at the end of the level When you get on top of the train, kill the enemies and the Unknown will appear. He mainly charges up his gun before shooting you, so avoid the laser while shooting him with any weapon. I suggest the Seeker Gun/HK22 Gun or the Chopper/Multi-Star. He'll soon get away. Continue running on the cars using your swingshot, killing enemies until the Unknown comes back. Now he'll send some laser balls which will cast a fire ring on the floor. Jump in the middle of the ring to avoid the fire and continue to shoot him. He'll soon vanish againand the train will stop. Get up the ladder, get some ammunition at the Megacorp Vendor and get inside the arena. After the cinematic, the Unknown will use the same two attacks as before, but will also create MSR V2's to help him, as well as automated turrets. The turrets can be destroyed by a single wrench hit, and the MSRs are easily taken care of. Don't mind the MSRs if you can, and the turrets as well if you're a strafing professional, and take the Unknown out. If you can make it past the robots and turrets, you'll deal with him easily. If not, you'll have to destroy them before attacking him, which is very time-consuming, and you'll be a sitting duck for the Unknown.The Mini-Nuke is very useful to take the MSRs out. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 7-> Planet Joba - Megacorp Games Megapede Hard Gladiator Fighting Arena Megapede will send little bombs at you. Just keep running to avoid them. I suggest using the Plasma Coil/Storm and Mini/Megaturret Glove, as well as the Minirocket Tube/Megarocket Cannon. As you hit Megapede, he will lose one of his "sections". This "section" will shoot at you until you have destroyed it. Once you've destroyed a loose snake bit, go on with shooting Megapede until he loses more parts. Destroy them, shoot at Megapede, rinse and repeat as necessary. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 8-> Dobbo Orbit - Spherical World Thugs-4-Less Leader - Robot Fairly hard Spherical World You have to fight this jerk with Giant Clank. If you've played the first Ratchet & Clank game, you should be able to do it without too much trouble. Just notice that in Going Commando, you no longer have an unlimited supply of rockets. To get some more, you have to break the buildings all around the spherical world. Try to follow the robot by jumping and shooting rockets at it. When you're close enough, punch it a few times and throw a bomb. Repeat this process until it's over. Just be careful not to get hit by the choppers. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 9-> Snivelak - Thug HQ Thugs-4-Less Leader - Freakin' Big Robot Freakin' HARD!!!!! End of level Quickly run to a triangular pad and jump. You'll be taken to a platform with a turret. The HUGE robot has HUGE defense and armor, so your ordinary weapons aren't worth much here. Get on that turret and start shooting! When the thug arrives near or is about to shoot a red laser at you, get out of the turret and use the charge boots (R1+R1) to get to another pad. Do this until a) the robot explodes, or b) all turrets are destroyed. If a) has happened, shout a big Hurray! and get to planet Smolg. If b) has happened, shout a big **CK! and take your strongest weapons. Get to a high vantage point and shoot the robot until a) happens. Now you can shout a big Hurray!... :p *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 10-> Oozla - Megacorp Outlet Swamp Monster II More than FREAKIN' HARD! Gravity Boots platform Aaaaarrrrrgggghhh! You should have almost all of the weapons before attempting this. You must avoid falling into the mud, but more importantly, you must AVOID THE MONSTER! Shoot the crap out of the monster with everything you got, but I suggest using weak weapons first, because if you die, it'll cost less bolts to replenish your ammunition than powerful guns. Use the stronger ones when the monster's health is about halfway down. Just be even more careful when you jump on other leaves to avoid falling to your death. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 11-> Yeedil - Protopet Factory Mutated Protopet Difficulty depends on the weapons you possess End of level (of course) Hope you have the UPGRADED Bouncer! If you don't you'll have a hard time beating the Original Protopet. a) If you have the Heavy Bouncer: Approach the Protopet CAREFULLY and throw the bouncer bomb at him while he isn't surrounded by nanotech. If you do it quickly enough, he won't have time to release some new protopets. Repeat until the mutated protopet breaks the glass ground. Shoot the guards with the Megarocket Cannon and continue bombing the protopet with the Bouncer. When the protopets are released, take the Blitz Cannon to destroy them. If you do it correctly, your Bouncer ammo shouldn't be depleted completely before the Original Protopet dies. Now watch the hilarious ending. Congratulations! b) If you don't have the Heavy Bouncer: I've never been able to beat the final boss without the Heavy Bouncer, so you're out of luck. Go upgrade it on Damosel against the infinite amount of Protopets at the beginning, and come back later to do section a). If you did beat him without the Heavy Bouncer, please let me know how you did it, and I'll post it here. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 12-> Weapon recommendations - In this section, you can see my personal ratings for each of the weapons. Since I don't possess every weapon in the game yet, I put N/A as rating for weapons I didn't try. If you want a complete weapon guide, see the very good Weapon FAQ by soroush123, here on GameFAQs. The ratings go from ONE to FIVE stars for the weapons. Note : The first mod in each weapon file is the "vanilla" gun, with the white icon. The second mod is the upgraded gun which you get from frequent use (orange icon). The third mod is the Challenge Mode weapon modification which you buy at Megacorp Vendors (very ugly greenish- yellowish icon), and the last mod is the Challenge Mode upgrade, which you get from frequent use of the "Mega" Challenge Mode weapon mod (Blue icon). It does sound complicated, but it's actually very easy... -----MEGACORP WEAPONS----- -Lancer **** (at beginning) Heavy Lancer **** at beginning, * later Mega Heavy Lancer N/A Ultra Heavy Lancer N/A -Gravity Bomb *** Mini-Nuke **** Mega Mini-Nuke N/A Ultra Mini-Nuke N/A -Chopper ** Multi-Stars N/A Mega Multi-Stars N/A Ultra Multi-Stars N/A -Blitz Gun **** Blitz Cannon ***** Mega Blitz Cannon N/A Ultra Blitz Cannon N/A -Pulse Rifle **½ Vaporizer **½ at beginning, **** later Mega Vaporizer N/A Ultra Vaporizer N/A -Miniturret Glove *** Megaturret Glove N/A Mega Mega Turret N/A Ultra Mega Turret N/A -Seeker Gun *** HK22 Gun ***** Mega HK22 Gun N/A Ultra HK22 Gun N/A -Synthenoid ***** Killinoid ***** Mega Killinoid N/A Ultra Killinoid N/A -Lava Gun ***½ Meteor Gun **½ Mega Meteor Gun N/A Ultra Meteor Gun N/A -Bouncer **** Heavy Bouncer *********** Mega Heavy Bouncer N/A Ultra Heavy Lancer N/A (it must ROCK!) -Minirocket Tube ****½ Megarocket Cannon ***** Mega Mega Rocket N/A Ultra Mega Rocket N/A -Spiderbot Glove N/A Tankbot Glove N/A Mega Tankbot Glove N/A Ultra Tankbot Glove N/A -Plasma Coil ****½ Plasma Storm ***** Mega Plasma Storm N/A Ultra Plasma Storm N/A -Hoverbomb Gun N/A Tetrabomb Gun N/A Mega Tetrabomb Gun N/A Ultra Tetrabomb Gun N/A -Sheepinator ** for usefulness, ***** for fun Black Sheepinator : N/A Mega Black Sheepinator N/A Ultra Black Sheepinator N/A -Shield Charger *** Tesla Barrier **** Mega Tesla Barrier ****½ Ultra Tesla Barrier ***** -Zodiac N/A -Clank Zapper and Clank Shocker N/A -----GADGETRON WEAPONS----- -Bomb Glove * Mega Bomb Glove *** -Visibomb Gun ** Mega Visibomb N/A -Tesla Claw **½ Mega Tesla Claw N/A -Decoy Glove **** Mega Decoy N/A -Walloper *** Mega Walloper **** -RYNOII (Rip Ya a New One II) N/A *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Hope you enjoyed using this guide...
