I: Introduction
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hi, I?m Suicidal Lemmings (a.k.a. Tyrranos) and this is now my second
FAQ. Hopefully I?m getting a little better at this, and I hope you enjoy the
guide. This is the only site that I\'m hosting the guide on. This isn?t for the
sole purpose of helping people out in
the game; it?s just a list of all the enemies in the game.
**Note: I got this from the start menu in the Ratchet & Clank game, so I did
not make this info up. **
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
II: Monsterpedia
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I will be listing the monsters in the formation of where you met them
in the game. Here is a list of every enemy (not including bosses and Megacorp-
Games enemies)
MSR 1-CHAINSAW MODEL
The Megacorp Security Robot (MSR) type 1 comes equipped with a
standard-issue arm-mounted chainsaw. Its spider-like legs allow it to more
efficiently chase down and eradicate intruders. Since it only has close-range
attack capabilities, medium-to-long range weapons are the best way to combat
it.
MSR 2-FLAMEHROWER MODEL
The Megacorp Security Robot (MSR) type 2 is designed for those who
need the best that Megacorp has to offer, but can?t afford to pay for it.
Complete with a Raritanium-plated arm-mounted flamethrower, this robot is
guaranteed to stop up to 80 percent of intruders.
PX6 BLADEBALL
The PX6 BladeBall is Megacorp?s answer to the budget-conscious
security consumer. These metal balls float in space until an intruder comes
near, at which point they release a whirlwind of slashing death. The standard
BladeBalls are easily destroyed with a few quick swipes of the wrench before
they can extend their razor sharp blades. However, if you?re too slow, they
will slice and dice you.
MUTANT MUCKDWELLER
These hopping, slug-like creatures will belch out noxious gas when
Ratchet gets within range. They are easily eliminated by any of Ratchet?s
medium-range weapons, with the Lancer being the most effective.
MUTANT SWAMP BEAST
These one-eyed snails have stretchy tentacles that can lash out at
their prey. Their thick armor-like shells provide strong protection, meaning
Ratchet will have to use prolonged firepower to get to their gooey centers.
Stay away and use medium-to-long range weapons to target these beasts, only
breaking out the Omniwrench against single opponents and as a last ditch
effort.
MUTANT FIREFLIES
Not your average Veldin firefly, this nasty winged critter is a cross
between a firefly and a beetle. To assault their prey, these Mutant Fireflies
draw close and then attack with their strong pincers. Fairly weak and not
heavily armored, a few swipes of Ratchet?s Omniwrench 8000 should take care of
the problem.
THUGS-4-LESS BRUTE
Big, strong, and incredibly stupid, the Thugs-4-Less Brute is
everything that a young thug aspires to be. They attack by firing a burst of
rockets or by deploying Megacorp Chickenbots to do their dirty work for them.
The best defense against these goons is to use medium-to-long range weapons,
such as the Lancer of Chopper, and target them from a distance. Make sure to
keep the strafe button held down and jump or move from side to side to avoid
their fire.
MEGACORP CHICKENBOT
The Chickenbot was Megacorp?s response to the overabundance of
chickens left over from the use of the Gadgetron Morph-o-Ray. These chickens
have been transformed into walking death machines by Megacorp?s hard working
corps of engineers, and will surround and chomp at their prey with their sharp
metallic teeth if given the opportunity. Both short and long-range weapons
work well against them, as does the Omniwrench.
MEGACORP GLADIATOR
These armored and shield-wearing aliens have been genetically
engineered by Megacorp to be the galaxy?s most efficient fighting machines.
They wield a Chain-Mace, which they can use from short of medium-range for a
devastating (and pulpy) effect. Do your best to not get within range or their
Chain-Maces, as doing so will most likely result in a hit upside the head.
MEGACORP LASER BOT
The Laser Bot was originally designed to get out those ?hard to clean?
stains. Using its spinning laser, it makes sure that public areas are clean
and sanitary for the population?s protection. Unfortunately, due to
malfunctioning circuitry, these robots can?t tell the difference between dirt
on the ground and dirt on an individual, and will attempt to ?wipe clean?
anything that moves. Stay out of range of its spinning laser and use of medium-
to-long range weapon to take it out.
MEGACORP SWEEPER BOT
Due to yet another Megacorp blunder, these malfunctioning robots have
lost the ability to tell the difference between garbage and organic life.
Spinning around with their trio of sweeping mechanical arms, anything caught
inside their whirling dervish of cleanliness will get hurt. It?s not advisable
to get in close and personal, as their arms are surprisingly fast and these
buggers can surround you in a second. Instead, stick with medium-to-long range
weapons and create some trash of your own.
MEGACORP RIVET BOT
Look out! This robot?s gone rogue. Thought originally designed to aid
in construction, some of these robots have been modified to act as security
robots as well. If you get too close, they will fire a series of six rivet
shots your way. Stay back and use long-range weapons, such as the Pulse Rifle
or Lancer, to take them out.
GADGETRON HOUND OF CUDDLY DEATH
These cute puppy-like creatures are the result of a failed experiment
by Gadgetron to create a cute cuddly child?s companion. After Gadgetron lest,
these once docile pets evolved into pure killers filled with only hate and
loathing. These hounds have snapping jaws filled with razor sharp teeth, and
will attack the moment they get a whiff of Ratchet?s presence. In small
numbers, they can easily be dealt with using the wrench. When encountered in
large packs, stay back and use a medium-range weapon to put them out of their
misery.
VUKOVAR TRIBESMEN
After Gadgetron moved out, these tribesmen took over, searching for
whatever they could use. The tribesmen have managed to collect some pretty
heavy firepower. They are also excellent swordsmen and like to attack in
groups. The best way to combat these savage creatures is to either pick them
off from afar, using the Pulse Rifle, or throw some heavy firepower at their
armored and shielded bodies, using long-range weapons, suck as the Multi-Star
or Heavy Lancer.
BARLOWIAN SAUR-BEAST
The Saur-Beast was once a harmless herbivore. When the Tribesmen came,
however, they were trained to be savage attack beasts that they can ride.
Known for their durability and thick hides, these large beasts are
surprisingly fast and can charge at their prey with no provocation. They also
have extremely sharp teeth that can make Blargian mincemeat out of Ratchet if
you?re not careful. Heavy artillery, such as any of your upgraded weapons,
will chip away at these vicious creatures. The Pulse Rifle is also
exceptionally handy, as it can take them down with one shot and can be used
from a safe distance.
THUGS-4-LESS HENCHMAN
This Thugs-4-Less employee is cleverer and slightly tougher than your
common Thug. In addition to being stronger, he also carries a plasma-charged
rifle that shoots out balls of charged plasma particles. Long-range weapons,
such as the Seeker Gun, seem to work the best against these goons.
THUGS-4-LESS ATTACK SHIP
This is the upgraded version of the old Thug Flame Ship (now
obsolete). Due to complaints about the old model, this ship was upgraded to
include a ranged flame attack, as well as tinted windows and a deluxe set of
cup holders. If Ratchet happens to stroll within its long-range attack
capabilities, the Attack Ship will fire off a series of flame shots that will
scorch his hide. The best defense is to stay out of its range, if possible,
and use a long-range weapon, such as the Pulse Rifle or Seeker to target it
from afar.
MSR 1-CHAINSAW V: 2.0
This is the best version of the MSR 1 available on the market today.
With an alloy-based armor-plated exterior combining Carbonox and Raritanium,
these robots can take a beating and still remain standing. Like the original
model, version 2.0 still does not have long or medium-range attack
capabilities, and has to rely on getting up close and personal to saw their
victims in half. Stay away, far away, and take them out with a powered-up
projectile weapon.
MSR 2-FLAMETHROWER V: 2.0
Like the MSR 1, these security bots have been upgraded in the armor
department. Their flamethrowers have been upgraded to provide the finest
combustibility available and, in addition to medium-range sprays, they can
also shoot bursts of flaming hot projectiles. This robot will melt intruders
like an ice cream cone in the middle of the desert.
SPITTING DUNE CRAWLER
Produced by organic Dune Crawler Generators at impressive rates, these
indigenous reptiles have a devastating close-range poisonous spray that they
belch from their mouths. Due to years of extreme heat exposure, their hides
have become thick and crusty, making it extra tough to shoot through. Stay
back and out of their range, using a medium to long-range weapon to take them
out. If you purchased it, the Lava Gun will do the trick just fine.
MUTANT SANDFLY
A variant of the Mutant Firefly found in Oozla, this guy packs a bite.
Sandflies typically travel in swarms and, like the Dune Crawlers, are produced
by Sandfly Generators. With no armor to speak of, any weapon, as well as the
wrench, will take care of these pesky critters ? just don?t allow yourself to
be surrounded by them.
DESERT DUNE MONSTER
These fiends like to hide in the desert sand from the extreme heat,
disguising themselves as a mere pile of debris. When they hear their prey
coming, however, they wait until it gets close, and spring from hiding to
attack with their electric tendrils. Use a strong weapon on these huge,
hovering beasts, preferably one that will lock-on to the target, and
continually shoot it while avoiding its tendrils. Unfortunately, you won?t be
able to pick them off from far away with the Pulse Rifle/Vaporizer, as they
will only expose themselves when their prey is near.
MEGACORP SENTINAL
These Sentinels serve as early warning devices, scanning and searching
the floor below with their spotlights for intruders. If you happen to cross
their beams of light, they will set off the Facility?s alarms and attack,
shooting a deadly stream of fire from their guns. The best way to deal with
these hovering security bots is to avoid their spotlights and sneak past. You
can try to shoot them down, using a strong upgraded and modded weapon, such as
the Vaporizer, but I recommend going the stealth route, if at all possible.
BLADE BALL V: 2.0
This deluxe model features a higher torque motor fitted with sharpened
duraplated blades. Small and compact, the BladeBall V: 2.0 is the next
generation of automated drone assassins. Instead of trying to eliminate these
whirling balls of death with the Omniwrench, stick with a weapon, such as the
Lava Gun, Blitz Gun, Multi-Star, etc.
MEGACORP SECURITY TURRET
This is a stationary turret, used mainly to protect small hallways, which
produces a slow moving plasma line that will move down a corridor and burn
intruders into a neat pile of ash for the Megacorp Sweeper Bots to clean up.
The Turret is vulnerable unless it sinks into the floor to recharge.
MEGACORP TROOPER
The Megacorp Troopers are the vanguard of the Megacorp paramilitary
forces. Armed with dual plasma rifles and trained in group fighting, it is not
unusual to see groups of these soldiers teleporting in before you?ve scarcely
finished off their comrades. Do your best not to take on these highly trained
soldiers head on, instead picking them off with the Pulse Rifle/Vaporizer, or
using the Seeker Gun or Bouncer while taking cover.
MEGACORP HOVER TANK
This monster of a vehicle has a rapid fire cannon mounted on a turret.
The tank can lay down an impressive line of fire that will frighten off the
most hardened of intruders. I don?t recommend taking these suckers head on,
instead, stay as far back as possible and use the Pulse Rifle/Vaporizer to
blow them to smithereens.
MEGACORP CHICKENBOT V: 2.0
Megacorp?s newest budget security robot, the Chickenbot 2.0 is
constructed with an enhanced Tetrafiber exterior and sharpened duraplated
fangs. Taking a bite out of crime (and anything else that happens to get
within 10 feet of them), these ferocious Chickenbots should be attacked with a
medium-to-close range weapon, such as the Lava Gun/Meteor Gun or the Blitz
Gun/Cannon.
JOBA TRIBESMEN
These Tribesmen are distant cousins to the ones found in Vukovar
Canyon. Consequently, aside form some more advanced firepower (deadly plasma
rifles) and armor; these creatures behave much the same as the ones on Barlow.
JOBIAN SAUR-BEAST
After discovering the beasts on Barlow, a batch was immediately sent
to Joba for breeding. Because of the harsh Jobian climate, these beasts have
evolved a tougher outer shell, which can withstand more damage. They also have
developed stronger teeth for catching prey. You?re going to need to use
strong, upgraded and moded weapons to take out these beasts.
MSR 1-CHAINSAW MODEL V: 3.0
This is a modified version of the MSR 1. Retooled and reprogrammed,
this killing machine is even more resistant to weapon fire. Its duraplated-
sharpened chainsaw is now more efficient at slicing fruits, vegetables, and
gun-wielding Lombaxes.
MSR 2-FLAMETHROWER MODEL V: 3.0
Flamethrower V: 3.0: A modified version of the MSR 2, these security
bots have reinforced armor and are fitted with an upgraded dual purpose
flamethrower ? they shoot both a stream of fire and fire bursts that melt
intrudes like a milk shake on the surface of the sun. Watch out for their
balls of flaming death, and use a long-range weapon to take them out.
NIDBOT
The Nidbot is a dangerous meeting of arachnid and machine. This
mechanical terror surprises its prey with a devastating leap attack that
leaves even the most hardened of gladiators quaking in their boots. No self-
respecting Gladiator Arena should be without them. Small and agile, the best
way to wipe these critters out is with a medium-to-short range weapon that has
a large blast/attack radius, such as the Blitz Cannon and Lava Gun.
ELITE MEGACORP GLADIATOR
The Megacorp Elite Gladiator Association (MEGA) represents only the
best, and these Gladiators have been card-carrying members for the past three
decades. With their improved armor and tetrafiber-enhanced blades, these MEGA
Brawlers pack a mega-mean punch. Give ?em hell with a few well-aimed rockets
from you Minirocket Tube to show them you mean business.
MUTANT TEST-SQUIRREL
Due to protests from several Squirrel Rights groups, Megacorp was
forced to abandon using squirrels for their weapon test programs. Megacorp
released the squirrels back into the wild, where they now happily feed on
small wild animals and tourists. One of the best weapons to use against these
vicious little critters is the Lave Gun, as it will keep them from surrounding
you, while taking them out in a quick fashion.
MEGACORP ROBOT GUARD
These huge hulking behemoths were manufactured to patrol important
Megacorp facilities. Armed with a huge plasma cannon they focus single-
mindedly on stopping any intruders who dare disturb their patrols. When you
see one of these strong mechanical giants, stay way back and take it out with
a strong, long-range weapon.
THUGS-4-LESS ELITE HENCHMEN
These Elite Thugs-4-Less are used only for the highest paying
customers. Armed with a powerful Thrasher Cannon, the Henchmen pack enough
firepower to level a small playground. Long-range weapons, such as the
Minirocket Tube and the HK22, work well against these goons.
THUGS-4-LESS BRUTE: CLASS 2
This elite Thugs-4-Less Brute is the standard issue soldier. Armed
with an impressively powerful Energy Cannon, this soldier is fond of sending
out rapid bolts of plasma in a continuous stream.
MEGACORP HOVER TANK V: 2.0
The Megacorp Hover Tank has been modified by Thugs-4-Less for Version
2.0. It provides cover for the Thug forces who take shelter behind its
impressive armor and massive blasting capabilities. You can also take
advantage of this, using the Vaporizer to blast the tanks from afar, then
using their wreckage for cover against the Thugs inside.
ATTACK COPTER
A modified version of the Thug Leader?s personal helicopter, this
Attack Copter is capable of destroying all in its path. It packs a quadruple
helix energy cannon to make sure it gets the job done. Bringing down on of
these copters is not an easy task. Its cannons have incredibly long-range
firing capabilities, and its armor is super-strong. Stay as far back as
possible and use either the Vaporizer or Minirocket Tube to bring it to the
ground.
TWO-HEADED SMOLGIAN SNAPPER
Whoever said two heads were better than one obviously never met this
alien fiend. The Smolgian Snapper packs a wallop and does it double. Watch out
for its lightning-fast lunging bite attack and try not to get in too close.
Medium-to-long range weapons are the only way to go ? and the stronger the
better, as these creatures have thick outer shells.
GRULCH
The Grulch is the smaller cousin of the Smolgian Snapper. Having only
one head, however, these miniature alien monsters are still capable of biting
an unwary traveler in a sensitive area. Break out of close-range weapon, such
as the Meteor Gun, to deliver swift justice.
PROTOPET
As you know by now, the Protopet was Megacorp?s attempt at creating
the perfect pet, but things somehow went terribly wrong. Unfortunately, these
little fluffy creatures tend to go crazy and eat their owners. Look out for
their ability to multiply, as they can get quite out of hand if left to their
own devices. Break out the Sheepinator on these deceivingly cute fluff balls
of teeth and aggression, turning them into the docile lambs that they should
be.
EXTERNIBOT
The Externibots were sent in to destroy everything that is small and
fuzzy. Unfortunately, this includes Ratchet. Try to dodge their shock attacks
by strafing left and right, and use a long-range weapon, such as the
Mini/Megarocket Tube, to take them out.
Y.E.T.I.
The Y.E.T.I. is a genetically engineered wonder monster created to
hunt down and destroy the Arctic Leviathans that roam the planes. At least,
that was the original idea. Since their creation, they have gone out of
control and now live in the arctic landscape. Usually found around Moonstones,
these huge beasts attack in packs, and take heavy firepower to destroy.
ARCTIC LEVIATHAN
There is little that is known about the Arctic Leviathan. It lives in
the arctic wastes and rarely shows its face. When it does, though, its
devastating ice breath can freeze an enemy in its tracks. Be on the lookout
for icy patches on the ground ? dead giveaways that there is a Leviathan in
the waters underneath ? and always be prepared to combat one with a long-range
weapon and protective shielding.
