4b. Titanium Bolts
Titanium Bolts can be used to buy new skins. 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.
