Latest Updates

GENERAL

Washout Cutscenes
Do-able at Pokitaru, Novalis, Veldin, Quartu, Umbris, and Rilgar.
Go into any swimming portion of the planets (and dive underwater), and play an In-Level movie from your "Goodies". All the cutscenes should then have blue tints and backgrounds.

Underwater Partying
Mainly easy in Tobruk Crater, go to the caverns, and swim into the first underwater tunnel. Stay positioned downward in the tunnel, and go to the Goodies menu to see an In-Level Movie. Then, exit the menu, and Ratchet will be standing in the Tunnel. You can equip any weapon, hear the underwater weapon sounds, and whish your wrench -- pretty much everything. Only possible in tunnels.

Infinite Air
How to Do: On any level with swim sections, dive below the surface. When your air level is red and blinking, pause the game. Then, go to the goodies menu, select In-Level movie, and play the movie. Once the movie starts, press start to exit out of it. Then press triangle to back out of the menus. When you reach the main menu with Goodies, press triangle again, and voila! You have a full tank of air! With this glitch, you'll never have to get the O2 Mask! With this glitch, all you need from Pokitaru is the Thruster-Pack.

Ratchet Has His Head In The Ground
How to Do: On any level with swim sections, dive below the surface. Dive down to the bottom, and hold Square, so that Ratchet is vertical. Then, pause the game, and hold down the Square button and press triangle. Keep Holding Square, and Ratchet will have his head in the ground! You can move around with the Analog stick, and Ratchet will still have his head in the ground as long as you hold Square.

Ray, Ray
Whip out the Metal Detector, and run to your ship. Press triangle to enter the ship, and while the cinematic is up, press circle, and a ray will appear.

Heli-Glide
Equip the Thruster-Pack and double tap R1 to glide. Now go to the gadgets page and equip the Heli-Pack. Unpause the game and Ratchet will be gliding without the thruster pack. You can move around and strafe like you usually can with the Thruster on, but with the Heli on instead. You can do this as long as you want until you press X to cancel the glide.

Tobruk Crater, Planet Novalis

Air Swimming
In the caves there is that place with the three step-like water tanks. Get in one of those and aim toward the ground or the lower level tanks. Jump out of the water, but jump as far as possible. Don't land on the walkway around the tank. If you clear the walkway, you will splash back into "water" where there is no water. You can swim around in the air. But if you swim over other water, the effect canels out and you fall into the water. If you're still swimming in the air, you can dive down and even drown in mid-air.

Outpost X11, Planet Aridia

Metropolis, Planet Kerwan

Building Glitches
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ts-x_BfbXM
TIPS for BG 3- Equip the Thruster Pack, and when you're in front of the copper building, long jump, and glide...you should end up on the main building you can walk upon.

Logging Site, Planet Eudora

Blarg Tactical Research Station, Nebula G34

Clank Worn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI_EvreKTk0

Head over to the wall on the right (better said rail) that's in the area with the first Alien Swarmer, and hop onto the gray dent on the right of that. From there, you can glide to the platform with the GBolt. Sadly, you can't manage to pick it up.

Endless Hover
You need Clank to do this. Check the video for "Clank Worn" 3:05, and observe. You can hop onto the corner of that screw and support an endless hover. More of a bug.

Blackwater City, Planet Rilgar

Bolt Glitch
This is the famous "bolt glitch". If you want millions of bolts, then this is the glitch for you. First, get the Hologuise (later on in the game). Come back here and go see the race lady. Activate the Hologuise. Enter the race. You will appear on the raceway as the Hologuise robot. De-activate it and turn back into Ratchet. Now run forward around the track. You will come to the place where there are a large number of bolt boxes overhead. Stand almost right under them, but a few steps back. Now change the camera angle so that you're looking at Ratchet's face. Use the Taunter. It will shatter the boxes and give you bolts. But since the bolts are behind the "camera", they regenerate. They will continuously regenerate and continuously shatter. They will fall down like rain on Ratchet's head. This glitch is particularly useful if you have the Bolt Magnetizer. The bolts will just keep falling and your bolt count will start to rack up. Now put a clamp or a weight on the fire button so that the Taunter continues to shatter boxes without your help. Turn off the TV. Go to sleep. In the morning, you will have a gajillion bolts. Make sure to save off the game.

Tunnel Swim Glitch
After you've gone through the swim course, return to the area where the tunnel is that leads to the doors. The ones that where you press the button, the doors open and water starts spewing. At the top of the tunnel, you can walk through the wall on the right and be swimming in water outside the level, and there's a cylinder. Swim to wards the cylinder, and jump through. It's the end of the Swim Course.

Abyss on The Track
When using the Infinite Bolts Glitch, go to the area after the first Energy Ring, and power slam through the land in the corner. You should find yourself in an abyss with blue circles and a ramp.

Hologuise Scuba Diving
On the direction to the area where you use the Hydrodisplacer, turn on the Hologuise before you swingshot into the building. You should see some rocks near the entrance. Use the Heli-Pack to reach the rocks, while pressing the circle button consistently. You should end up in the water, and from there you can swim all around Rilgar.

IBs with the Taunter
In the Hydrodisplacing segements, go to the tunnel with the Wheel blocking the way. Break it, and turn to your right, Taunter equip. If you keep firing the Taunter, bolts will come, and never stop.

Glide Trick
Using the Hologuise trick, enter the track, and dequip it. Then, tap R1 twice with the Thruster Pack, and once you get near the water, you should be able to hover all above it.

Series of Water Throws
Swimmin' in the Floor

When you do the Tunnel Swim glitch, swim to the right, and you'll see the outside of the room you were just in. Swim through it, and Ratchet will be swimming in the floor of the room.

Blackwater City is Flooded

While doing the above^ glitch, right before you swim into the cylinder of the room you were in, dive with the Square button. The water should turn blue as if you were actually under water. Then while you are in the floor, press the X button to jump out of the Floor. The room will appear to be flooded, but you can breathe. Equip any weapon and hear it's underwater sound. The effect will not channel out until you jump in the pool in the center of the room and dive, then when you rise to the surface the room will not be flooded anymore.

Transparent Water

While doing the Tunnel Swim glitch, swim underneath the swim course, and then rise up into the course. The water will not be blue anymore, and it looks like Ratchet is swimming in air.

Qwark's HQ, Planet Umbris

Around the Corridor
Once you climb the behemoth ladder up to the first Shark Tank, turn around to your left. The wall that enclosed the ladder can be traversed, and you can glide down on the other side of it. With a god glide, you can reach a side of the wall that bulges out, and you can walk around it. You can even get back to the field with the Turrets guarding the Tri-Pads...in fact, you can go from those fields, up to the ledge, and go the other way to the shark tank.

Dragging Sharks
At ay of the shark tanks, double jump over the water, but then glide back to the original platform you were on. The shark(s) should try to swim towards you to eat you, and if you keep guiding and tricking them over to the ledge, one should catch you soon enough...there's a twist, however -- with the right jumping and gliding, the Shark may catch you, but end up on the ledge itself, making it vulnerable. Yu're still in his stomach, but you can drag him over anywere for a while. This takes various tries.

Black Wall and Pool
When in front of the second and last Swingshot segment (where you have to use the Hydrodisplacer), swing towards the black wall on the side. You should go through it, and be able to swim through and around the whole level.

Fort Krontos, Planet Batalia

Taunter, Bolts, and the Bunker
When you first start this planet, there is a small locked bunker building to the left. Inside is about 2500 bolts and maybe a Gold Bolt (unless the GB is on top of the building). Anyway it doesn't matter. Kill the enemies near that building. Then whip out your Taunter and stand next to the door. Taunt away! It will break the boxes inside. If you already have the Bolt Magnetizer, you will clean out the bunker without ever having to open it. That's the easiest 2500 bolts in the game. You can keep coming back too.

Blarg Depot, Planet Gaspar

Up To The Giant Turret
Near the beginning of the level, you can see a huge inactive turret on the rocky hill next to the first batch of Chompers. Sometimes, it seems impossible to get there, but if you jump on the "Spiky Pumpkin" and onto the rocks, you'll discover an invisible set of stairs that lead you up into the air for a while. Use the Double Jump Longy ( X + X + R1 & X) to get aboard.

Alternate, easier method:

When the level loads you are standing in front of that elevator thing that takes you down to the chompers and rocketbot. High-Jump on top of the pole on the right. Then, double jump and glide to the pole right in front of you. Ratchet will grab on to the ledge, and you can pull him up on top of that pole. Look to your right, and you will see another pole a bit higher than the pole you are standing on. High-Jump and glide to that pole. Ratchet will grab onto the ledge and you pull him up. Then turn around so that you are facing the turret. Jump and glide onto the sandy looking thing beneath the turret. Then jump onto the rim of the turret. High-Jump and you are on top of the turret. YAY!

Kogor Refinery, Planet Orxon
Golden Devastator, to the Gold Bolt
There is a Gold Bolt on the cliff overlooking the place where the mines drop from the sky. The "expected" way to get it is to keep firing Visibomb missiles backwards into that long cave. But this is hard to do. Also, once you destroy all the metal doors, you still have to get around to the other end of the cave. You could get killed by then. So instead, get the Gold Devastator. Go up to the place where you enter the cave. There will be a huge metal door there. It's the last door you would destroy with the Visibomb. From this side, the door is impervious to any weapon. Or is it...? Stand right up next to the metal door and aim the Gold Devastator up into the corner. Every third shot or so works. The Gold Devastator generates repeat missiles. SOme of these missiles will form on the other side of the door and hit the metal door from the OTHER SIDE! One at a time, you can get through the metal doors this way. No Visibombs are needed.


Jowai Resort, Planet Pokitaru
Swimming Trick
Jump off behind the ship landing platform, and accelerate under the water as deep as you can, and swim forward. Soon enough you should reach outside the sewers, and swim in the air from there.

Out of the Boundaries
At the area where you jump on the Second Hoverboat, jump into the water and decelerate all the way down, and to the left. Soon, you should be able to break through that invisible barrier and swim off to the distant islands. Once you rise to the surface, however, you'll fall into oblivion, and start at the beginning of the level.

Bomb Factory, Planet Hoven

Walkable Forcefields
Do you really need to press all the Tri Pads to get through the Level behind the ship? Nope. You can actually walk through most of them without so.

Fly with the Copter
On the path to the Planetbuster, get to the area where the three floating platforms are. Get to the third one, and when a Helicopter from the skies is near, perform a High Jump, and with right timing, you'll get pushed with the Helicopter.

Gemlik Moonbase, Oltanis Orbit

Down to the Lower by The High
At the end of the level, just outside of the Starfighter dorm, you can see one of the other parts of the levels you've gone through--it has Robosquakers near, and you can glide down, and go through the fence, and go backwards through the level. At the point where the door with the first Blarg MissileShip is, you can use the Visbomb to wipe out some Robosqwakers on the other side, unlocking the door.

Gorda City (Ruins), Planet Oltanis

Above it All
Transport yourself to the Upper City, and head to the heap of rubbish on the platform where the 4th and 5th Autoturrets lie. Walk up the heap, and carefully glide around the wall. Instead of falling, you should float up into the air, and be able to walk on it, allowing you to see the whole Upper City from the Bird's Eye view.

Atop the Building
When you are climbing up the magna boot strip that takes you to the course that leads to Qwark, before stepping on the platform, walk off the strip to the right or left, and you should end up on top of the platform, with no magna boots. Walk onto the center, and the platform will activate. It will carry you above a blasted building, and flip over, dropping you into the building. The debris in the building is hollow. You can get out by going over to the portion of the wall that has blackened hex shaped debris. By jumping through this, you will fall out of the building, and fall to your death, respawning at your ship. It is possible to jump onto your ship platform but it is very difficult.

Robot Planet, Planet Quartu

Invincible Clank
During his Giant Clank form, head into the Ultra Mech stadium and wipe out the majority of the enemies. Then, jump on the other side of the wall, and die. You should end up outside the stadium, where the mechs can't hurt you, but you can hurt them, allowing you to get hordes of bolts safely.

E-Z kill the Robots.
While in Giant Clank form, aim back at the main complex across the way where all those Hologuise robots are. Shoot the powerful energy ball (triangle) at the building. The camera angle will swing all over the place, but don’t worry. Clank hasn’t changed his aim. Keep firing at different areas of that complex. When you go through wearing the Hologuise, you will find most of the robots already destroyed, and tons of bolts just lying on the floor.

Gadgetron HQ, Kalebo lll

Magician Trick
On the race course, there are three magnetic hoops to go through that open the force field shortcut. Instead of going through the first hoop, veer to the left and do a trick flip over the water. There is a particular spot where you can do your flip and get points for it. You die and then come back on the track. Keep doing it. You will get the Magician Skill Point in no time.

One Racer Down
On the Hoverboard racetrack if having trouble save a rocket until the end and launch it just before crossing the line. Select continue and a rocket will fly towards and destroy the nearest racer at the start of the NEXT race. With quick reflexes, you can fire two rockets.

Off The Track
At the point where the Metal and Explosive Crates are, you can boost off the ramp and side trails and soar up to the mid point of where the Seeker Bots and Chompers are (where the third Gadgetron vendor is).

Shortcut
There's a way to get directly to the Gadgetron President aside from the main path. Equip the Visibomb and head to the "Hub" that leads to the Grind Rail and Main Path (the place with the Gadgetron circling the dome). Due to possible miscalculation the Dev Team may've made, you can steer a Visibomb in a gap above the lasers, go a little down, and explode it. It may take a few tries, but with good steering and time, you can deactivate the Gatepad, and usher through.

Drek's Fleet, Veldin Orbit

Upside Down on D'sF
On the ship where you go upside down and use the fighter (Drek's Flagship), at the end you finally re-enter the ship and you have those laser beams. Walk a little toward the beams so that the door you came in closes. Then go back to the "flip pad" (not sure what those are called). Don't step on the activator button. Instead, walk off the side. You'll be standing on the door right-side up. It's now much easier to get through that hallway.

Standing on the Starfighter
Go to the Starfighter, and equip the Hologuise. Walk to the corner of one of the wings, and press triangle. You should end up standing on the Starfighter when in space.

Starfighting Skips
For this, you must beat the game once, and start "Challenge Mode" as you can call it. Then input the 30 second invincibility cheat and play to the Drek's Fleet level. Go through the electrified water section first and get past with one or no hits. Make sure the cheat is turned on, get the health crate in that room and jump into the electrified water. Don't worry, you won't die. Stay in for a few seconds and jump back out. Continue with the level and you'll notice that all of the ships are now white. The cannons on the the ship with the magna boot part donsen't fire anymore. So now you can easily get past that without getting in the starfighter. DO NOT DIE BEFORE GETTING TO THE CANNONS OR ELSE THE GLITCH WILL BE TURNED OFF...

Kyzil Plateau, Planet Veldin

Another Swim Thang
For your second visit to the planet, head over to the second dome where you use the Hydrodisplacer (the one directly before you use Giant Clank). Use the Hydrodisplacer to fill up the tank, and swim down to the corner across from the Hydrodisplacer activation pad. After moments of accelerating with your HydroPack, you should end up outside of the dome, swimming in the air. Once you get past those hordes of Armed Transports and Elite Guards, you end up walking on the air, even up to when you get to Drek. You can start shooting Drek for a while. If you last long in the air, you can deplete 3/4 of his health bar...with the least of luck, you can get rid of 2/4.
