Hint
After you complete the Thugs-4-Less prison. Go to the very first planet on your ships map guide. If you don't have the gravity boots go and get them. Search the planet until you find a metal platform that you walk up on. Slide down the pipe. You'll have to fight a boss. Having the drones that help you makes this battle a little easier. Beat the boss and you'll get a upgrade for your wrench called the Oniwrench 8000. The effect is cool. Submitted by jballer6..xxxxx 11/26/03

The easiest way to beat the Impossible Challenge
Description: all you need is the decoy glove. fight the first 5 rounds any way you want. the sheepinator is usually best because it doesn't use ammo and enemies hate them for some reason. then when a cage match begins, fight the first 4 rounds any way you want, but on the 5th round kill most of the enemies, then set up 2 or 3 decoys. kill the rest of the enemies, then when the cage match ends and normal matches begin again, the enemies will all congregate under the area where you left the decoys in the cage, totally ignoring you and leaving you free to restock your ammo and pick them off at your convenience. the impossible challenge follows a cycle of 5 normal rounds, then 5 cage rounds. for rounds 1-59 repeat the decoy trick and for round 60, kill megapede and the bolts and skill point are yours without much work at all.

Climb any wall
Description: after you beat the last protopet boss, go to the specials menu and select "first person mode". you can now walk over to any wall you want, double jump towards it, and press square a bunch. you should start scaling the wall upwards. (you can use this technique to finish a level, such as joba, without a sweat. all you have to do is climb the wall next to the elevator.) Submitted by Jman 7-21-05

Completing the Impossible Challenge in the Megacorp Games:
The Impossible Challenge consists of 60 rounds. Every five rounds it switches between normal and cagematch modes, and the very last round is against the Megapede. In order to win, do not attempt it until you are very strong and have learned how to strafe expertly. Try doing it when you have reached the end of the game and have all or most of the weapons (and have upgraded them).. Also have your experience meter at least three quarters full so that you can level up near the end of the match. The instant nanotech fillup will help tremendously. Reserve your ammunition, especially the Megarocket Tube (Minirocket Tube upgrade) as you will need it against Megapede. Use the Shield Charger when you are low on life and the Megaturret Glove (Miniturret Glove upgrade), Heavy Lancer (Lancer upgrade), and MiniNuke (Gravity Bomb upgrade) for dealing with enemies when the wrench just will not do. Your prize for winning is 200,000 Bolts and a skill point.

Go down the chute and prepare for a very difficult fight. The last Boss you defeated was this Boss' little cousin. Shoot frequently and avoid him when swinging and eating. It is a circle and you will not run out of room. Do not stop shooting when it is still and you will receive the Boxbreaker (a Wrench upgrade).

How to get past the level "The Chemical Factory":
On the level the Chemical Factory {after Planet Notak} the last obstacle is three floating barrels. If you stand on the first barrel, the third one will rise, if you stand on the last one, the first one will rise, and if you stand on the middle one, the barrels stay straight. Stand on the first one so the last barrel will rise, then take your Thermonator out and freeze the water, jump up the barrels and put your Thruster Pack on, the hold R1 and press X, you will fly op and on to the edge, then there will be 3 or more robots that Clank has to talk to.

Armor Magnetizer:
To get the Armor Magnetizer, go to planet Todano. Go to the patr of the Weapons Facility where you get the Sheepinator (the second part of it.) Then, get the Tractor Beam out and move the targets three quarters of the way in that section (section number two of seven.) You will see a big hole in the wall. Jump in it and keep on going. WATCH OUT! A Megacorp Security Guard 'Bot will jump up from below when you get close enough. Then, you will approach a pimply faced teenager who just LOVES Captain Qwark. Talk to him. He was going to give you the Armor Magnetizer for free, but since you humiliated Qwark in your first adventure when Gadgetron products were still popular, you will have to give him a Qwark Action Figure. Beat planet Boldan, then go to Planet Aranos Thugs 4 Less Prison. After you get coordinates for another planet, don't go to the next planet. Stay there, and go to the door, not left, not right, but in the middle of it all. Make sure you have at least 20,000 Bolts, and hop up the latter, and use the Levitater. Hey, look! Plumber's crack! It's the plumber from the very first planet on the first Ratchet and Clank! (if you don't count the one you only can go to once.) You will need to pay the plumber 20,000 Bolts for a stinkin' Captain Qwark Action Figure. HEY! If you had enough Bolts to buy the Qwark Action Figure, just approach him and buy it! Now you can go back to Planet Todano and trade for the Armor Magnetizer! Follow the first few steps to get back to Mr. Pimply, and trade him! Bonus! Don't leave yet! Near the pimply dude, there is a reward! A Platinum Bolt!

Easy Traversing
On planet Greblin, don't have battles with the Y.E.T.I.s. Just destroy the Artic Leviathans (or let your Synthanoids or upgraded forms of the Synthanoids take care of them.) But pick up the Moonstones from the Artic L's. You will be able to find Moonstones much faster.

Black Sheepinator
To get the Black Sheepinator, just beet the game on Challenge Mode and you will get the Black Sheepinator.

Mini Game
To play a Mini Game, go to Clank's apartment, and use the Dynamo on the triangle thing. You will play a game with a Synthanoid. To shoot the swarming sheep, just press X. You can move up and down with the analog stick (left analog stick) or the control pad.

The Box Breaker
To get the Box Breaker, go to planet Oozla, then go to the end of the Megacorp store (the part after you use the Dynamo to get across the gap with the boards rushing up at you.) Then, if you've been to planet Joba, use the Gravity Boots to walk up the metal ramp, thenn stalk up on all your ammo. You will be facing the Swamp Monster 2. You will need a lot of firepower for this beast. The most effective weapon for him is the Lava Gun/Meteor Gun. If that doesn't work use the Seeker Gun/HK22 Gun. If that still doesn't work use the Blitz Gun/Cannon. And don't forget to use the Synthanoid/ Kylinoid and the Shield Charger. Try not to fall into the gooey swamp water, as if you are in there for five to ten seconds, you will sink and die. Then when you beat him, you will get the Box Breaker! The way to use it is to press X ( jump up) and press the square button ( HYper Strike.) The Box Breaker can break about fifteen feet up left, right, forward, and backward.

Get to the insomniac museum without winning the game
At silver city on planet Boldan (once the electrical wall is down) go to the crossing and turn left towards the door with the thugs go straight and kill them all take the right passage go kill the thugs and go up the lift there should be thugs running across the room kill them and then go through the left passage and down the lift there should be a total of seven thugs the (closest two should be playing rock, paper, scissors) kill them all (I usually use the vaporizer or sniper for this) without breaking the two ammo boxes to the right between a gap then go and
stand on the two ammo boxes and jump over the yellow wall and go straight past the yellow glass building and across a bridge (it should have a few graphics glitches) go and jump left next to the building and keep and walking forward while pushing on the side of the wall you'll then fall through the wall and under the building to the middle of the building and jump up through the floor you'll be fighting a few thugs after you've killed the thugs there will be two teleporter pads one will go to your ship and the other to the insomniac museum.

Beat The Impossible Chall. With A FEW Weapons
There are 60 rounds in the impossible challenge and if you want to beat the impossible challenge with just a few weapons do this: First make sure you have the Kilonoides, the Megaturrets, Zapper or Clanks Shocker, and last but definitely not least the tesla shield The transformed version of the first shield.} Here's how it works: When your enemy's are coming towards you, the Megaturrets will be the first weapon to start firing. The limit for the Megaturrets to be out at once is five. When your out of megaturrets, the kilonoids will start shooting. The kilonoids plasma lasers won't be strong enough to push the enemy back unless the kilonoids throw a bomb. If the enemy gets to close to you the tesla shield and the Clank Shocker will shock them, but the Clank Shocker can hit at a longer range than the tesla shield. When it's time for a cage battle your kilonoids and tesla shield will vanish when you jump on the thing that gets you into the cage, this also happens when you exit the cage. At the 60th round you will face Megapede. The best weapon to use against it is the Meteor Gun or the RYNOII. If my way doesn't work for you, then do it another way, but these are the weapons I used to beat the impossible challenge.

How to defeat the impossible challenge:
You need the RYNO 2 and mega rocket launcher and ultra tesla barrier. You will only need RYNO 2 in the first 59 rounds and the mega rocket launcher in the last you equip you re self with the ultra tesla barrier all the time if the barrier fades wait until the next cage match or normal and then you equipped it again the Tesla barrier fades whenever it change for cage match to normal or normal to cage match. Simply destroy everything you see with the RYNO 2 after each round look for ammo boxes. in about 6 rounds you will have a cage match. Look around for ammo boxes whenever a cage match finishes. id you are not wasteful after each cage match you will only use around 20 ammo. In the last round (round 60) use the mega rocket launcher. You will face the megapede. The rockets from a RYNO 2 may not be fast enough to hid the megapede since it move around so quickly. when you hit one of its segments it will fall off and fire at you. use RYNO to finish the segment.

Planet Notak: Easy Bolts
After completing the game, you will have a Bolt Multiplier. To get a lot of Bolts, have your multiplier number to be more than x15. Then, go to Planet Notak (Canal City). Go through the entire level and all enemies will be worth 3,000 Bolts each. You will get from 50,000 to over 100,000 Bolts. Once you have completed the level, go back to your ship. Ride somewhere else, then go back to Planet Notak. Keep repeating this process. Note: The Plasma Storm works extremely well against groups of Chickenbots.

Easy battle arenas win
To kill enemies easier in battle arenas, go to the middle of the arena and put upgraded turrets around you. You should win every time, and sometimes not get hit.

Awesome easy cash
Ok now when you are in challenge mode, works best and easiest, do the impossibe challenge. If you are in challenge mode you win 2 million bolts. If your in regular mode you get 200,000 bolts. Either way you win. Also you get to be a snowman! it's in the cheat menu.
