Gold Bolt List Most entries are copied from that 2002 ed. of Ratchet & Clank Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Ok there is not a gold bolt(s) on planet Veldin the first time you start there, but the second comeing to it (if that is a spoiler for you too bad because this games has been out for four years) there is one. Planet Novalis: There are three gold bolts: 1. The first one is located on a platform above the steps leading into the Waterworks. It is not visable from the ground or even at the top of the steps. The only way to get it is to use Ratchet's Wall Jump move. Before jumpint up the steps, position Rachet between the two walls at the bottom and jump from wall to wall until he reaches the top. Grab the booty and get ready to move on. 2. There is a crack on the left side of the cave where you have to throw a bomb from your bomb glove to blast open the wall and find your prize. 3. The final gold bolt can be attained only after you have acquired the 02 Mask and Hydro-Pack. It is located in a secret underground lair off of the river. Since the current is too strong to swim against, using the Hydro-Pack is the only way to get to it. Once you have these two gadgets, return to Novalis and take the yellow elevator disc down to the area below. Head under the bridge to where the Sand Mouse antennae is located. Jumpinto the flowing water here and dive underneath the surface. Press and hold [ R1 ] or [ R2 ] button to activate the Hydro-Pack's jets and follow the water-filled tunnel until it dead ends at a cave opening -- Ratchet & Clank are now inside the Amoeboid Lair. Hop out of the water and deal with any Ameboids in the immediate vicinity. There are two paths you can take, but the one you want is to the right. Follow the tunnel and then execute the Wall Jump when you get to the jump slot in the cave wall. Collect the goods at the top and then hop back down to the main path. The path leads arounds to an alcove where you will find the hidden Gold Bolt hovering on a ledge way above and another Amoeboid patrolling the area below. Eliminate the multiplying monster and then continue down the sloping path. The two will come into a cavernous room filled with Amoeboid creatures and crates. Use a medium-range wepon, such as the Blaster or Purocitor and don't stop firing until there is nothing left. Where the carnage is over, jump up the ladder along the cavern wall and then follow the steps up to the ledge where the Gold Bolt waits. Planet Kerwan There are three gold bolts: 1. There is a coveted God Bolt hovering above the last stack of suitcases at the far end of the area. Getting up and over is easy, if you haven't broken a large stack of Crates againts the back of the suitcases. Just use the Boost Jump twice - once to get up onto the top of the Crates, and a second time to get up to the top of the suitcases and the Golden Bolt. If you have already pillaged the Bolts from the Crates, you'llhave to take the long way. Start at the the oppisite end of the area and use the Boost Jump to get up onto the first stack of suitcases. From here, it's a short hop onto the next colum of suitcases. The next jump requires a Boost, Glide or Strech to reach the stack of suitcases. Two more hops, and Rachet & Clank will be able to reap their reward. 2. Ride the rail slide down to Island One and make your way back up all the way to the top. Next, ride the rail slide down to Island Two and start the ascent back up to the top. There is a reason for taking the Fitness Course a second time. As you round the third corrner on your way, take a moment to look off in the distance. See that court-yard chock full o' Crates? That's where you are headed. Traverse the gauntlet all of the way back up to the top. DON'T ride the rail slide down. Head over to the right corner of the roof and look down - you should have a bird's eye view of the open courtyard. Go ahead and perform a Boost Jump off of the roof and then Glide toward the courtyard. You should see a glimmering Gold Bolt in the middle of the courtyard along with plenty of Crates full of Bolts, all for your taking! Note: A taxi will be waiting down here to whisk Ratchet & Clank back to their ship Have them ride it and hop off when it docks. Before boarding the ship, there is one more Gold Bolts to uncover! 3. The final Gold Bolt is cleverly hidden underneath the ground Rachet & Clank are currently standing on. The easiest way to get it is to take the bridge down to the circular area with the Gadgetron Vendor and stop at the railing. If you manevuer the camera over Rachet's head, you'll notice what looks like a steady stream of ships flying into the building below. In reality, they are flying through an underpass in the building. Take a leap of faith off of the platform and quickly hold down the Jump (X) button to execute the Glide move. If Rachet & Clank stay next to the side of the building, you will see the opening to the underpass (you can swing the camera around using the right analong stick for a better view). Just glide the two into the opening and then grab the goods inside, which include plenty of Bolts, a few Gadgetron Crates, and Explosive Crate of two and and a Gold Bolt. Planet Aridia: There are four Gold Bolts in this level: 1. In the area that you have to clear the Sand Sharks for Skid you will see a mountain with a crack in it. A well thrown Glove Bomb should break down the wall, revealing a cave. Follow the path inside and you will find the Gold Bolt and Gadgetron crates that you might have seen from the other side. Grab the booty and head back out the way you came. 2. Go to the area that you got the Trespasser from and look above your head. See that green Versa-Target hovering above you? That's there for good reason. Hidden just out of sight below is a precious Gold Bolt. If you manipulate the camera so it is directly over Ratchet & Clank, you should see a seies of rotating platforoms below. Take a leap of faith and use the Heli-Pack's Glide feature to safely land on the rotating platform. The Gold Bolt is waiting for them directly underneath. 3. Before returning to the ship, grab the Gold Bolt in the area. Head back to the sandy section where Ratchet & Clank first climbed up. If you follow the ledge (a small section of it is fenced with red lights on it) on the right, you'll see a small platform in the right corner. This platform is within reach of the Strech Jump, but it is surrounded by quicksand. Get a running start and Strech Jump over the quicksand toward the small platform in the corner. If you hit the quicksand, quickly press the Jump (X) button and aim toward the platform. From the platform, execute a second Strech Jump back onto sandy ground. The Gold Bolt is to the left toward the small dumptruck. 4. Once you have the Magnebooots, you will be able to find the final Gold Bolt, which is hidden inside the huge cannon battery next to the Agent's downed escape pod. Use the teleporter to transport to the area and then look up to find the large cannon. There are three metallic strips running from the ground up to the cannon. Walk over and onto any of the three and Ratchet's Magneboots will stick to 'em like glue. Follow the strip up to the cannon and then walk off onto the sand. Run around the cannon, collecting the Bolts from the crates along its perimeter, then head into its interior adn grab the sparkling Gold Bolt waiting for you inside. Planet Eudora: There is only one Gold Bolt 1. The Gold Bolt is found on a ledge right to a ledge where there are alot of sawbots. Position Ratchet so he is on the corner of the ledge, tehn perform a Boost Jump and start pressing the left analong stick toward the platform. He will jump high enough to reach the platform's ledge. Realease and then press and hold the Jump (X) button a second time and Glide the two over to the ledge. Nebula G34: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. This bolt is located inside a secret room along the higher level in the cell room. Use the Boost Jump get up to it and head inside with the Suck Cannon armed. Eliminate the pack of Alien Swarmers inside the room and then collect teh rewards, which include a large stack of Crates and a Gold Bolt 2. The Gold Bolt is resting on the edge of a ship outside the airlock. Head to the airlock doorway to the left of the ship and press the (triangle) button to go outside. The 02 Mask will automatically be equipied. Activate the elevator and then take the walkway toward the cargo ship, take care of the Swarmer, then execute a Strech Jump across to the ship's railing t the right. If you follow the catwalk, aroung the outside edge of the cockpit, the Gold Bolt will come into view around the corner. Planet Rilgar: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. It appears there is no feasible way for Ratchet & Clank to gain entrance into the laser-blocked section where the Gold Bolt is resting, but apperances can be deceiving. Head over to the manhole cover and equip the Blaster before taking a ride. As soon as Ratchet & Clank are hoisted upwards, go into the Blaster's sinper mode and target and eliminate the Extermitank on the platform above. Stay on the manhole and ride it a second time facing the the oppisite direction. As soon as it has reached its apex, execute a Stretch Jump and Glide over to the small walkway creaed by the adjoining walls of the maze. If you move Ratchet & Clank very carefully, you should be able to lead them straight down the path to the end and then to the right toward the God Bolt. When they get to the section with the Gold Bolt, just drop down and collect the prize. 2. The final Gold Bolt on Rilgar can only be retrived onve Ratchet has the O2 Mask in his invintory. It's located at the end of a secret tunnel which is conneted to the flooding waterway. Take the taxi to Raceway Plaza, then head through the connecting corridor and take the elevator down into the water-flooded tunnel. It's a long swim to get to the Bolt. Just dive underwater and follow the tunnel as its winds up, down and arround, until you get to the long straightaway where you fried the Amoeboids earlier. When you get to this portion, dive down in to the deep portion to the left (there is a walkway to the right) to find a tunnel opening. This long, rising tunnel will lead the duo up into a secret cave. Head through, and keep rising until Ratchet & Clank come to the surface. The shiny Gold Bolt will be waiting at the other end. Planet Umbris: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. This one is tricky to describe (even w/ the guide). After you have crossed the gap that has two versa targets, look to your left. See that Tripad on the ledge to the right of the locked door? Use the Boost Jump and Glide to get over to it. Step on the Tripad and then follow the ledge around the corner to run over to the second. The thrid is just a double jump away on the small platform beyond. Get all three in the allotted time, and the door back at the bridge will open. Inside the small building is a treasure trove of Crates and one very shiny Gold Bolt. 2. In one of the Shark Tanks there is a Gold Bolt. From Ratchet and Clank's vantage at the top of the steps, postion the camera so it is looking over the railing. If you move it just right, you should be able to spot the Gold Bolt tucked away in a hidden room way down below. Just get it in your sights, hop over the railing and Glide down to it. Activate the Tripads to open the door to get out and retrace your steps to return to the top of the Shark tank. Planet Batlia: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. In the group of buildings right before the bridge, there is a Gold Bolt on one of the bulliding's roof. Stand in the doorway of the building. The distance between the two walls is just close enough to form a jump slot. Use the the Wall Jump manuever and hop from side to side until Ratchet & Clank reach the reward at the top. 2. There is a group of platforms that are able to be reached witht the Strech Jump. Use the Strech Jump at the top of the steps to get to the platform across the way. You'll find a small ledge beyond with a bunch of stacked Crates. Get them out of the way, using the Wretch's Comet-Strike manevuer, then hop onto the platform and the one beyond. One last Strech Jump to the platform arround the corner will reward the two with the second of two Gold Bolts on Batalia. Planet Gaspar: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. Ride the elevator at the end of the mission that over looks your ship. There is a Gold Bolts waiting up here, as well as a large supply of Gadgetron Crates. 2. There is one more Gold Bolt to be found at Gaspar. The route starts by hopping down the semi-hidden path below, to the right of the ship. Follow the path over to the platform, then break out the Swing Shot. The floating platforms in the lava are unstable and will sink if Ratchet & Clank stand on them too long. Hop on the first one, then quickly jump up and use the the Swing Shot on the yellow Versa-Targets to the next area. There are a few Blarg Shuttles tethered to the ground by fuel lines on this small island. Use the Wrench (or any small wepon for that matter) to break them loose, causing the line to explode and sending the pieces into the lava. Destroying the one on the left handside of the island reveals a yellow Versa-Target. Use it to swing to the platforms beyond. Strech Jump over to the area, then Boost Jump up to the platforms beyond. Strech Jump over to the area, Boost Jump up to the high platform after eliminating the Chompers. A series of five yellow Versa-Targets will take Ratchet & Clank over to a new section. Follow the path up around the Blarg Shuttle at the top - another yellow Versa-Target reveals itself above. Use the Swing Shot to reach the next area, which leads around and onto a platform. There are a few Chompers roaming about, but they are easy pickings. Ride the elevator platform and get rid of the Blarg Shuttle bolcking the path. Three more yellow Versa-Targets will be revealed. Use the Swing Shot, then Glide down to the floating platforms. Make sure tou quickly jump from onto another until Ratchet & Clank are back on solid groud. By destroying the two Blarg Shuttles along the right section of the area, a series of floating platforms will appear in the lava. You should be able to make out the Gold Bolt off in the distance. Hop over to the it, quickly executing a double jump off of each platform until Ratchet & Clank reach the Bolt. Thankfully, there is a hover platform that will shuttle the two back to the area below their ship. Planet Orxon: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. Drop down to the area to the left of the Premium Nanotech Dispenser and Ratchet & Clankwill be in the tunnel thaat Clank explored earlier. Follow the tunnel toward the entrance and take right before you get outside to the ship. If you want to take a quick detour, there is a set of stairs taht Ratchet can double jump of along the wall, and then grab the ledge over the pit for some Bolts. Continue on through the door and around the next tunnel. There are two small alcoves on each side of the tunnel, just before the large cavern. The one on the left is the perfect size for a jump slot. Perform the Wall Jump to get up to the secret room above and grab the Gold Bolt. If you have the Visibomb, stick arround for the second Gold Bolt. 2. The final Gold Bolt can be acquired once you have the Visibomb. Take the elevator platform up to the wall above the ship, then head to one of the safe alcoves in the bomb-strewn clearing. You should be able to see the Gold Bolt up on a ledge straight ahead, but it is too high to reach using any of the upgrades. You can, however, reveal a back way into the tunnel behind the Bold Bolt - you will just need to blast a wat through it first. Equip the Visibomb and aim for the wall behind the Gold Bolt. It explodes, revealing the tunnel beyond. Shoot a second Visibomb int the tunnel and steer it arround the tunnel to the left until it hits a second wall. You will need to shoot and steer a thrid Visibomb into the tunnel to destroy the next blockade - the tunnel curves shatply to the left so it might take a couple tries to steer through without hitting the sides. Continue this process of shooting Visibombs into the tunnel until you have broken through to the other side. Now, you just have to retrace your steps, down the to the area below the ship, down the right path past the Gadgetron Vendor, over the Magne-Strip, across the green and yellow Versa-Targets, and on until you come to the steps - tunnel entrance is just arround the corrner. You need to carefully navigate up its steep slope (jumping over the toxic goo from platform to platform) until you arrive at the Gold Bolt. If you make just one mistake, you will have to start over back at the Vendor. Planet Pokitaru: There is one Gold Bolt: 1. It's pretty well-hidden, and can only be accessed via an underwater tunnel underneath the first island. When you find the tunnel, swim through and hop out onto the platform on the other side. Take the steps up to the top, then use the Power Slam on the Power Switch to activate a bridge across to the next island. Ratchet & Clank will encounter quite a few Puffer Fish and a couple of Psy-ctopuses on the other side - use the Devastator from across the stream to take out the latter. Continue up the steep ledges, removing all enemies from their path, and follow the water through this lush valley. When they reach the top, and can't get over the small waterfall, break out the Swing Shot, locate the green Versa-Target tucked away behind a tree a graple up to the ledge above. The Gold Bolt is yours for the taking Planet Hoven: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. There is a valuble Golt Bolt perched high up on the moutainside to the right. A strange-looking vertical platform is ascending and descending in front of the moutain. Position Ratchet & Clank so they are in between the space of the platform and the mountain and, as soon as the platform reaches the ground, perform the Wall Jump manuver and jump toward it. Continue jumping back and forth between the platform, until Ratchet makes it to the top and the Gold Bolt. 2. After you have used the Insta-Drain there is a Gold Bolt to be found. Dive underneath the water and follow the wall to the right. The first tunnel you entered (with the Insta-Faucet inside it) has a higher ledge that was unreachable from dry land. Ratchet should now be able to jump out of the water and onto the ledge and grab the precious Bolt. Oltanis Orbit: There is only one Gold Bolt: 1. There is a Gold Bolt (if you look on your map there is an island/platform that looks like a paddle) if you stand at the end of the paddle, look over to the left before jumping off the high, middle platform, you'll notice a sparkling Gold Bolt inside a tunnel, tucked away behind a force field. The only way to deactivate the force field to get at the Bolt is by finding the Control Tower that is powering this particular one - easier said than done. Now, look to the ritght. See that hole? It's just the right size for a Visibomb. Aim the Visibomb Gun at the hole and shoot one into it. This is where things get tricky. There is a tunnel opening, way above at the top of the Base, which will lead into the core where the Bolt and Control Tower are located. When the missile is outside of the tunnel, clear the overhead platform, then hang an immediate right and pull it upwards. Continue to steer up and to the right until you can see the roof of the Base. The tunnel entrance should be dead ahead. Enter it, then aim the missle downwards and follow the tunnel until it strikes the Control Tower inside. The force field should now be deactivated. Strech Jump across to the tunneland claim your prize. Planet Oltanis: There are a whopping four Gold Bolts: 1. The first of four Gold Bolts is hidden away on a platorm high above at the end of a narrow walkway. If you take a moment to look up, you should see a green Versa-Target spinning in the air, high above. Equip the Swing Shot and grapple up there to grab the Gold. 2. Before the Gold Bolt found below there is another to be found. It is cleverly hidden on a small platform in the right hand corner. Carfully skate over to the general area (there are a few Crates in this corner), then drop off to the platform below to grab the prize. 3. Before the last set of electricity barriers there is another Gold Bolt. Instead of hoisting Ratchet up onto teh Icy walkway, keep shimmying to the right and pass the wal. The Gold Bolt is just beyond, its view blocked by two partially destroyed walls. Jump up and grab it, then drop back down, grab the wall and shimmy back over to the icy walkway in middle. 4. After getting the Morph-o-Ray, hop on to the grind rail to take it back to the ship. As Ratchet approaches the landing pad, A Blarg Bomber shoots a missle at the town square, blowing up a statue and revealing a hidden floor switch underneath it. Ride the yellow elevator back down to the town square and activate the floor switch - a series of yellow Versa-Targets will appear in the sky. Hop onto the rubble to get high enough to use the Swing Shot and start swinging. There are a total of nine Versa Targets. A final green one will allow Ratchet to grapple onto a small roof. There are two Blarg Interceptors circling around the building to the right, both with green Versa-Targets overhead. Wait for one to make its approach, then grapple on to it. As soon as Ratchet reaches teh ship, the Swing Shot will go. Be prepared to press the (O) buttona second time to grab it again, then let go and grab the yellow Versa-Target beyond it. Swing over to the next building roof. Timing is key on the next set. The yellow Versa-Target will lead to nothing but air, but there is another Interceptor flying around the vicinity with a green Versa-Target over it. Swing shot onto the yellow Versa-Target, then keep the (O) button held down and wait fro the Interceptor to appear. As soon as it does, let go of the yellow Versa-Target and grab the green one on the shi[p. Make sure to re-grapple on to the ship one or two times until you can swing onto the next yellow Versa-Target, the get onto the next bulding roof. There are two Interceptors flying around the area to the left. Wait for one to appear from below, then grapple onto it. Keep re-grappling onto the Interceptor until you can safley swing to the yellow Versa-Targets. When you get to the second yellow Versa-Target, stay on it until you see a new Interceptor appear in front of you. It's possible to get some momentum, if Ratchet is no longer swinging, by pressing forward and backwards on the left analog stick. You have just one or two seconds of opportunity to grab the green Versa-Target before the fast-moving ship is out of range. Grapple onto it, then grapple onto the final green Versa-Target to drop down onto the building top, and the final Gold Bolt. Planet Quartu: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. In the room where you learn that your planet is going to be destroyed, there is a well-hidden Gold Bolt inside this room. Take a moment to look up to the right of the mainframe. There is a green Versa-Target overhead. Use the Swing Shot and grapple up, then head through the small tunnel - it's tucked away inside a small room beyond. 2. To get the other Gold Bolt, Ratchet & Clank need the CodeBot. There is an Invinco-Vault located at the end of the walkway outside the arena, where Clank transformed into Giant Clank earlier. Approach the CodeBot lock and it will automatically insert itself and unlock the Invinco-Valt. Inside, you'll find tens of thousands of Bolts and one very shinny Gold one. Kalebo III: (my favorite level :D ): There are two Gold Bolts: 1. OK here is the deal a. This one 's (in the immortal words of my 10th grade Algabra II teacher) a dosey b. That means it is really hard for me to explain it but I will give the bet help I can. There are three activation pads that you hit you will enable to grind the rail (which rail I am not so shure but it is after all the other ones) and the rail will lead you to a Gold Bolt :lol: Nota Bene: (Latin for a good note): even if you can't find all the Gold Bolts don't worry b/c this is where you get the Map-o-matic which allows you to see the parts of areas where stuff is hidden. 2. If you walk out to the grind rail area where the two touched down and peek over the left corner, you will spot a teleporter. Drop down, walk onto it and press the triangle button to be transported to the Gadgetron Employee Breakroom. Grab the Gold Bolt, then return to the HelpDesk - there is a taxi up there that will dilever Ratchet & Clank back to the lobby. Veldin Orbit: There are two Gold Bolts: 1. When you get to the last set of tri-rings right before acquiring the Code Bot, quickly swim through them, then make an immediate U-turn and head the opposite direction. A large cylinder door will open behind them, revealing a tunnel leading to a secret room with a Gold Bolt. Quickly swim up to the surface and get out of the water before the timer counts down to zero. 2. Return to the upside down tunnel from right side up, and take out the 'Mutts while avoiding the lasers. Change into robot form at the other end. Another pack of Robomutts and two Sentrybots are in the room beyond. Quickly equip the Devestator and target the two Sentrybots before they can react and set off the defense system. Convert back into robot form and enter the doorway around the conner. Another Sentrybot is across the way, and there's a set of criss-crossing lasers along the floor. Use the Devstator on the 'Bots then use the Boost Jump and Glide to avoid the the lasers. A final Strech Jump across the next laser-filled section will get Ratchet & Clank to their goal - a magnificent Gold Bolt. Here is the deal: If i told you where all the Gold Bolts' locations I would have so no advantage over you so you will have to suck it up or nag me enough to fing out where the final three Gold Bolts are. But, I will give you a hint on each Gold Bolt. 1. Use the Taunter on the Horny Toad in the force field tunnel. 2. In hidden tunnel arround the mountain side by green Versa-Target. 3. On top a set of platforms before green Versa-Target. That's all Folks |
