If you find them all, you get a new trophy! Florana Titanium Bolts: 2 Titanium Bolt #1 The first titanium bolt you'll find is in the first large building you face when starting the level. The building in question is where you first encounter a ladder. When you make your way to the top of the building, there will be a platform outside that you will use to glide down to the platform in the water below leading to the second large building. Below this platform is where the titanium bolt is hidden. You can jump off the edge and glide back "under" or you can jump to the platform you see below, turn around, and climb up the ladders into the room containing the bolt. Titanium Bolt #2 The second Titanium Bolt is located inside the fiery Path of Death. Around the third bend, just after the rolling rocks, you will come to another series of platforms. Your first jump (from the bend) will be to a normal rock platform. Jump to that rock platform and look to your - right-. You should be looking over the lava river. You should see a dome room with the titanium bolt shining brightly inside. Double jump to the ledge and get your bolt. Starship Pheonix Titanium Bolts: 7 Titanium Bolt #1 Go to the VR room and complete all of the initial challenges. The last one should be called "Nerves of Titanium". Complete this challenge and you'll receive a titanium bolt. Titanium Bolt #2 Once you get Quark Vid-Comic #1, go to the VG9000 and play the Vid-Comic. While playing, find all 100 Quark icons, and when you collect the 100th one, the titanium bolt will be yours! Titanium Bolt #3 Once you get Quark Vid-Comic #2, go to the VG9000 and play the Vid-Comic. While playing, find all 100 Quark icons, and when you collect the 100th one, the titanium bolt will be yours! This level is a bit trickier however - two things to keep an eye out for are dark surfaces you can wall jump off of and breakable dark gray brick walls. A few of the icons are hidden pretty well. Titanium Bolt #4 Once you get Quark Vid-Comic #3, go to the VG9000 and play the Vid-Comic. While playing, find all 100 Quark icons, and when you collect the 100th one, the titanium bolt will be yours! There are a few tricky icons. One is above the door that opens after the bomb-dropping enemies, another will need a wall jump to be reached, yet another is down a yellow ladder by small fire pits and a few are obscured behind a large pipe. They're in a hallway before the platforms with fire circling them. Jump around that area to find a few icons. Titanium Bolt #5 Once you get Quark Vid-Comic #4, go to the VG9000 and play the Vid-Comic. While playing, find all 100 Quark icons, and when you collect the 100th one, the titanium bolt will be yours! Finding all 100 icons is once again, tricky. A few of the icons worth 10 icons are hidden well. Remember to jump off random walls just to see higher as there are a few ledges just out of sight. Also, when you get to the taxi, before you ride it, go below it and to the right. Fall over the edge to an area you can't see - you'll find one there. Titanium Bolt #6 Once you get Quark Vid-Comic #5, go to the VG9000 and play the Vid-Comic. While playing, find all 100 Quark icons, and when you collect the 100th one, the titanium bolt will be yours! This level is actually pretty easy in terms of finding the icons. Just keep an eye out, particularly near the vertical platforming sections (as there is a split hidden path on one) and you should easily find all 100 icons. Titanium Bolt #7 To get this titanium bolt, you must complete Tyhrranosis first. Once back on the Phoenix, you'll find out there is a new VR course Helga put together. The course is called VR Gadget Training. Simply complete the course and you'll receive another titanium bolt. You'll also receive the Hypershot and Hacker gadgets which you'll need to get a few titanium bolts you couldn't previously reach. Marcadia Titanium Bolts: 3 Titanium Bolt #1 Near the beginning of the level, you will come across a pool of water with stairs on each side of the pool going up. These stairs lead to a large open area. Once there, turn right and follow the walls until you see an alleyway with a wall jump surface. Wall jump up, go down the hallway, and the titanium bolt is yours! Note: The alleyway in question is easily visible on the bottom right corner of your map. Titanium bolt #2 To get this titanium bolt, you will need the Gravity Boots. Once back on Marcadia, return to the Laser Defense Facility. Towards the end, just before the teleport pad to return to your ship, there is a Gravity Boot surface. The titanium bolt is floating near the ceiling. Walk up and grab it. Titanium bolt #3 To get this titanium bolt, you will need the Gravity Boots. Once back on Marcadia, return to the Laser Defense Facility. Proceed to the laser activated bridge that chimes and sways when you walk on it. Go into the room after the bridge. On your right is a Red Door - that's what we're going to open. Also note the Gravity Boot surface next to it. Now, proceed to the next room (where the laser is split), and then into the room after that. When you walk into that room, look to your left - you should see a Gravity Boot surface. You should also see a laser above you. Walk up the Gravity Boot surface and redirect that laser into the hole. Now return to the room with the Red Door, walk up the Gravity Boot surface, and redirect the laser into the small opening across the room near where the laser comes in. The Red Door is now open giving you access to another titanium bolt. Annihilation Nation Titanium Bolts: 2 Titanium Bolt #1 On the course "Heat Street", proceed to the first room. There you'll step on the switch and the arrow will send you to the left. Go left and you'll come across a zig-zag platform section. If you look past the platforms and up on the rock outcrop behind it, you should see the titanium bolt. Cross the platforms (be careful of the green lasers) then high jump up to the rock outcrop ledge and grab your titanium bolt. Titanium Bolt #2 First you'll need to open the "Maze of Blaze" course. It's available after you complete the "Meat Courtney" gauntlet (you receive Vid-Comic #3 from her) which itself won't open until you complete Daxx. Start the course and make your way to the second switch room - it will send you Right. Just past the door that opens is a bridge - on each side of the bridge are bots that will shoot at you. Kill them both and then hop onto the platform on the left (located north on the map). You should see the titanium bolt on a floating platform. Stretch jump to the platform to get the titanium bolt. Aquatos Titanium Bolts: 5 Titanium Bolt #1 After the 'first' underwater swimming section, you'll get out of the water and hit the switch that lets Skidd in to continue helping you. He'll hack the bridge in the next room so you can cross it. Instead of crossing the bridge, jump down below it and walk to the end of the room. There you'll find a titanium bolt. Titanium Bolt #2 Eventually you'll come across the 'second' underwater swimming section. Jump into the water and dive straight down a bit. Now, look around. Turn a full 360 and you should see the titanium bolt in a small underwater alcove near you. If you swim into the tunnel filled with mines, you've gone too far. Titanium Bolt #3 To get this titanium bolt, you will need the Hacker. Once you have the Hacker, return to Aquatos. From the start, take the tram that leads down (located west on the map). Pass the goo area with the Gadgetron, go into the next room and jump up to the ledge that leads to the yellow room with the bridge. The next room will have a Hacker station. Hack it and take the tram to the room containing the titanium bolt. Titanium Bolt #4 To get this titanium bolt, you will need the Gravity Boots. Return to Aquatos with the boots and warp back to the Sewers. Once in the sewers, you need to make your way to the UPPER sewer section and then to the main canal that runs down the center of the sewers. There are three levels of bridges. Low, mid, and high. You need to work your way to the highest set. Once up there, lookaround. Do you see Hypershot targets? If not, either warp (if a pad is there) or walk to another bridge. Once you find the Hypershot targets, swing across and in the middle of the sequence, a titanium bolt will be floating. Grab it! Titanium Bolt #5 To get this titanium bolt, you will need the Gravity Boots. Return to Aquatos with the boots and warp back to the Sewers. Go to the UPPER sewer section. In particular, we want to go to the northern sewer sections (northern set on your map). Now, look on your map again; on the top of your map, you should see a long tunnel that connects the left and right side of the upper sewers. In the middle of that tunnel, you will find the titanium bolt.
