If you see ANY of my guides on CheatCC.com, then PLEASE tell me how to get them
off there (I don't have an account on thir site, unfortunately. They asked me
to host my guides on their site via email). Why, you ask? They have actually
MODIFIED the file, which is MY interlectual property which has been posted
under MY alias, and replaced the gamefaqs.com hotsing site listing with their
own site listing, as well as deleting the GameFAQs credit in the credit list.
This is illegal and pisses me right off. Why they would even do that in the
first place eludes me - you're just screwing over gamers who want the latest
info.
I'm not saying that GameFAQs is the only gaming site anyone should use, but
it's the only place that I post updated files. Other sites simply take the
updated file to their own site (and don't modify it) which is fine with me.
E-mail me if wishing to request hosting this document on another site.

|1: What is this guide for?|
\--------------------------/
Hi, I'm Ratchet12345, and this is a Titanium Bolts, Skill Points and Armour
guide for Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. This is to help through get the Skill
Points and give you locations for the Titanium Bolts and Armour pieces, as well
as information on the Armour sets.
/-----------------\
|2: Titanium Bolts|
\-----------------/
Titanium Bolts are optional collectables hidden in each level, and you can
purchase skins with them once they're collected.
/---------------------------\
|2.1: Jowai Resort, Pokitaru|
\---------------------------/
1: After you walk up the magnetic wall, kill all the enemies on the platform,
then walk over to the zip line. Turn 90 degrees to your left from facing the
zipline and you'll see a small platform slightly hidden by the rock. Long jump
to this platform and you'll find the bolt.
2: Go to the island with the crabs on it. After the crabs are all dead, get on
the raft. Skip the first island you pass, but get off on the second one. Go
around the left hut to find the bolt.
/--------------------------\
|2.2: Vegeta Jungle, Ryllus|
\--------------------------/
1: After getting out of your ship, turn 90 degrees to your left and walk until
you fall on to a platform. The bolt is on the platform.
2: When you reach the area before the temple, where you have the big grey wall
in front of you, get on to the other side with the plant, then when you land,
look behind you. The bolt is near the grey wall you just went through.
/-------------------------------\
|2.3: Mechanoid Factory, Kalidon|
\-------------------------------/
1: When you get out of your ship, go and look off the edge of the landing pad
to find a ledge. Walk around to behind the landing pad to find the bolt inside
a small rock.
2: When you're at the first Grind Lock, facing the door (or room you unlocked
if it's open), turn 90 degrees to your let and walk until the edge of the
platform. The bolt is behind the small wall beside you - you should be able to
se it if you rotate the camera to look behind you.
3: When you step on the magnetic wall just before you enter the room with all
the magnetic paths, look up in first person - you should see the bolt. TO get
it, facing the room with the paths, turn 90 degrees to your right, and walk up
so you are now standing on the right wall.
Face the magnetic paths room again, and walk towards it. There is a path - walk
on it until you come to an intersection. Go right at the interection and keep
walking until you reach the platform with the bolt.
/---------------------------\
|2.4: Junkyard LXIV, Metalis|
\---------------------------/
1: Come back to Metalis as Ratchet. You must have the Polarizer for this to
work. Go to the grey metal circular vent behind your ship, and use your
Polarizer on it to open it. Go through the path, and avoid the spikey walls. Be
careful though - you're on a conveyor belt.
Jump over the 2 gaps, and you'll come to a Gadgetron vendor, as well as 3 hover
bots. Kill them, and jump over the fire walls to meet 5 more hover bots. Kill
them, then go to the circular pad behind where the bots were. Use your
Hypershot to get over all the gaps, and you'll come across even more hover bots
on a conveyor belt.
Kill all of them, then go through the path, and avoid the spikey walls. Keep
going through the obstacle course, and you'll reach a gap. Go over the gap with
your Hypershot, and you'll find the bolt on an isolated platform surrounded by
boxes.
There will be a teleporation pad here to come back - you'll need to use it for
the Easy Bolt Guide relating to this area if you don't want to go all the way
through the course again. You'll teleport to near your ship with the pad.
/--------------\
|2.5: Dreamtime|
\--------------/
1: When you go to the three parasols that are moving, look behind you, then up
to find a Hypershot target. Jump on to the first parasol, facing where you
jumped from, and fire your Hypershot - you should go to the top of the
platform, and find the bolt.
2: When you are at the entrance to Ratchet's old home, jsut after the
checkpoint, go around the left side of the hut to find the bolt.
3: At the Gadgetron vendor where the first blue circle transporter is, there
will be a big bolt in front of you. Use your Lacerators in First Person to
shoot at it, until you see a flash on the screen somewhere. Get out of First
Person and use the boxes as platforms to jump over and get the bolt.
Here's a tip from Differus:
In Dreamtime, the last Bolt you find, you tell the reader to "Shoot at it with
your Lacerators until you see a flash". However, upon seeing my targeting
reticle turn red while a giant blue crab floated in front of the bolt, the game
told me to "Shoot its weak point for massive damage" (lol), so, I shot at the
crab with one shot, and the pathway appeared. So basically, all you have to do
is to shoot the giant blue crab that will appear in front of the bolt every few
seconds.
/--------------------------------------------\
|2.6: Surgical Factory, Medical Outpost Omega|
\--------------------------------------------/
1: Go to the Dreamtime bed - the isolated broken platform near your ship,
opposite from the Skyboarder. Behind all the wreckage, you will find the bolt.
NOTE: This same titanium bolt can be found after the wall-jump place while the
station is exploding. Just turn around and there is a ledge you can jump on
(thanks to 401891).
/-----------------------------\
|2.7: Technomite City, Challax|
\-----------------------------/
1: There is a ledge around the landing pad. Drop down on to it, and the bolt
will be at the bottom of the ramp.
2: After you use the Polarizer to push the suitcases in to the machine to
unlock the gate, you'll go in to a room, then go to your left and in to a third
room. There is a baggage claim in this room, to the left of where you entered.
The bolt is on the claim. Wait for it to come out, then get on the baggage
claim and get it.
3: After planting the bomb plant in the sand at the top of the ladder, instead
of hitting it towards the statue, hit it towards where you found the plant in
the first place - there is a black wall there. When hit, it will crumble,
revealing a room with the bolt inside.
/------------------------------------\
|2.8: Farming Cooperative, Dayni Moon|
\------------------------------------/
1: After you've planted the first 2 plants, use them to jump up and get the
bolt, which is on a small ledge that's on the wall above the opening of the
building.
You could also get on to the ledge near the building, double jump and glide
towards the platform to get the bolt - if you're on the edge of the ledge, look
towards the building and you'll see the bolt. It's easy to glide to from here.
2: Go to the big building you find after you glide over the big gap. Kill the
robot/s here, then go to the beck of the building. You will find a Grind Lock
here. Complete it to open the door. Plant the small spring plant in the sand
you find there, and jump on it.
There is a platform on the inside of the building, very high up, hanging over
the doorway. The bolt is on the platform. You will have to jump 3 or four times
on the flower before you will even see the platform.
/-----------------\
|2.9: Inside Clank|
\-----------------/
1: Go to the start of the zipline, but walk off the edge of the platform. Look
behind you and you'll see a ladder. Go to the left side of the ladder, right on
the edge of the platform. Look behind the ladder to find a platform with the
bolt on it. Jump around the ladder to get on to the platform and get the bolt.
2: After you kill the zap bots just after you use the zipline, there is a
small, dark hallway. Go to the end of it, and walljump until you reach a higher
platform. Jump on to it, and walk across to get the bolt.
here is also another way to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_0nYgV1_tY
showed me how to do this. Go to the start of the small dark hallway, and there
will be some lights on either side. Jump on to these lights and keep jumping on
to the one above you until you get to the platform.
Bud and Audrey sent in this strategy (it's long, but equally helpful):
The way we did it was to Double Jump (X button twice Rapidly) against the wall
(in the correct place) in combination with the joystick pointing in the
jumping-to direction.
So if Ratchet is jumping to the left, the joystick should point left.
Youre welcomed to update the guide with this info, if you choose and if you
want to credit us, use Bud and Audrey; if you dont want to credit us, were
fine with that too.
You might also want to note that not all show the clear delineation of wall
color (grey to black / lighter wall to very dark wall) that the video shows.
I dont know whether its the game, the TV or the combination of both but ours
showed two sets of strips about 1.5 times the width of Ratchet of slightly
darker shaded wall.
One set (a strip on each wall) was closest to the platform we were trying to
climb to (this is the set we used) and the other was at the end of the hallway
closest to the blue pillar and the three critters that come up the circular
walkway to harass Ratchet.
/-----------------------------\
|2.10: Clone Factory, Quadrona|
\-----------------------------/
1: After you kill the four waves of Ratchet clones in the red octagonal room, a
door with open. Go through, but once you're in the room, stop and look to your
left - you'll see a pile of boxes. Go over to them, and go up the boxes to find
a platform with the bolt.
/-----------\
|2.11: Skins|
\-----------/
There are several skins you can buy with the Titanium Bolts you collect:
Wear Current Armour Default
Tropical Vacation 4 Titanium Bolts
Plundering Pirate Captain 6 Titanium Bolts
Ratchetzilla 6 Titanium Bolts
Kanga Ratchet (PS2 Only) 2 Titanium Bolts
Hiro Ratchet (PS2 Only) 2 Titanium Bolts
Thanks to abc acb for the PS2 port skins - these use up the remaining Titanium
Bolts that you can't spend in the PSP version.
/---------------\
|3: Skill Points|
\---------------/
Skill Points are small, optional tasks in the game that you can complete to
unlock special cheats. The problem is that you only know the name of the Skill
Point, and not how to complete the task associated with the names. This list
tells you what task goes with what name - how to complete the Skill Points.
There is also a list of the cheats you unlock by completing the Skill Points.
Originally, I had a list from ibrake4dragons, but when I revamped the guide, I
made my own list. His strategies are still in here, I've just made my own list
with my own strategies to add to it.
/---------------------------\
|3.1: Jowai Resort, Pokitaru|
\---------------------------/
Train Faster: Complete the "training" portion of Pokitaru in less than 1:32.
If you've played the game before, this should be easy - you know all the
controls, so just go through as fast as you can. You may want to do it after
you leave Pokitaru, otherwise there will be more enemies to defeat.
Don't Rock the Boat: Complete the boat challenge on Pokitaru without taking a
single hit.
Also not too hard, but you should wait until you have really good, upgrade
weapons like the RYNO and the Electro Rocket.
Do Cows Get Crabby: Turn 26 crabs into cows with the Mootator/Armoogeddon.
This is easy to do in Chalenge Mode, when you first go through Pokitaru -one of
the islands is loaded with crabs, so just stay there Mootating crabs until
there are none left. You may need to Mootate some before then, but it's still
pretty easy. But if you have the Armoogeddon, be careful of the exploding bull
that may kill some of the crabs without counting towards your Mootated crab
count.
/--------------------------\
|3.2: Vegeta Jungle, Ryllus|
\--------------------------/
Bury the Pygmies: Get Bury Blossoms to eat 4 Pygmy Tribesmen (5 in Challenge
Mode).
This is easiest to do near the grey wall you have to get flung through by the
plant. Go to the platform with the grey wall on it, and go close enough for the
Pygmies to roll out, but stay back so they don't whoop your ass - instead,
they'll just roam around near the 2 Bury Blossoms, and get eaten.
ibrake4dragons: I found that getting them to stop vomiting their stuff on your
and constantly jumping over the plants helps them calm down and not swing like
hell, killing nearby Pygmies; and that has sometimes helped them in forgetting
bout you and feasting like you want them to.)
Lights, Camera, Action!: Kill 10 floating cameras.
There are floating cameras all over the level - keep an eye out, and shoot them
with your Lacerators if you see one - one hit, one kill.
Ship It: Break all the crates on the level.
Quite self explanatory, and it's easy once you have the Box Breaker - jsut go
around Hyper-Striking at every given moment. You also have to get the boxes in
the temple with Clank.
/-------------------------------\
|3.3: Mechanoid Factory, Kalidon|
\-------------------------------/
Explosive Ordnance Disposal: Clear all the remote bombs in the Gravity Boot
sphere.
Get out your Sniper Mine and stand at the entrance to the sphere. Shoot every
single one you see - you should get the point. If you don't, you should go in
and look around - ther may be one hiding somewhere.
Super Lombax: Kill 25 enemies in a row without getting a single hit.
Easy with a weapon like the RYNO. I thing the bombs in the Gravity Boot sphere
count as enemies, and there's heaps of them, so follow the instructions for the
last Skill Point to see how to kill heaps them without getting hit.
Be A Cool Skyboarder: Win a Skyboarding race without using boost.
Just don't press [] at all and win to get the point. It's probably smart to do
the first race - it's the easiest.
/---------------------------\
|3.4: Junkyard LXIV, Metalis|
\---------------------------/
Shutout: Win a Gadgebot Toss challenge without letting anyone else score.
Again, do the first one because it's easy and only requires 5 goals.
Terror of the Skies: Get over 600 points in the Giant Clank Challenge (950 in
Challenge Mode)
A big misconception here is to still save your rockets for the boss - don't do
it! Use your rockets when there are tons of enemies on the screen for big
points! Use my method for beating the boss - you can do it without any rockets,
it just takes time.
Ultimate Gladiator: Complete all Clank Arena challenges.
Self explanatory. See my guide for how to beat the Clank Challenges if you're
having trouble.
/--------------\
|3.5: Dreamtime|
\--------------/
Friends Don't Hurt Friends: Get through the Giant Clank fight without getting
a single hit.
Just avoid all Clank's attacks - very easy.
Night Terrors: Defeat the waves of enemies on the last island in under 45
seconds.
This 'last island' is the part of the stage where the Dr. Qwarks and birds all
spawn on the giant bolts, and you have to go through the black portals to get
to the next giant bolt: some have been confused on just where the area was.
Again, having the RYNO helps a lot here. You'll fly thorugh this point with it.
/--------------------------------------------\
|3.6: Surgical Factory, Medical Outpost Omega|
\--------------------------------------------/
Be An Awesome Skyboarder: Beat the master challenge in under 3:25.
You'll have to never fall of, and know that track like the back of your hand to
do this one - really tough.
Here's a tip from Chris Steinwinder:
You mentioned the Awesome Skyboarder skill point is really tough and a no
mistake approach is needed. Need to save time? Try this tricky-but-rewarding
mistake. Race through the first and second parts of the race as best you can.
At the open space area, Watch the MAP, not the CAMERA view, and after the
second
or third asteroid make an absolute beeline, boosting, at the finish line.
The result is that you will start to fall when you get too far from the rocks;
don't worry about that, as you can keep boosting and recover as you pass near
one. If you smack the underside of an asteroid, no worries. If you did it
right, it will put you at the starting line when you respawn, shaving an easy
10-15 seconds off your time, and you can do it twice. The effect? I rammed
five walls and seven mines, and got a time of 3:15. Easy peasy.
/-----------------------------\
|3.7: Technomite City, Challax|
\-----------------------------/
Take Them Down A Shock: Kill 23 Shock Troopers without dying.
Shock Troopers are the little guys that attack you on Challax. Just get through
the whole level without dying and you should get the point. It's probably
easier to do it on your first run through because there are more troopers.
Here's a tip from Austin Fuhrman:
All you have to do is wait until the end of the level where you fight the
dropship and when it goes back and forth with the laser let it hit the shock
troopers on the sides of the platform. If you do this for a while it will get
you the skill point. It's a lot easier because you don't have to kill and
troopers; you can just let it do it for you!
High Tech Weapons Master: Beat the enemy segment without using the Lacerator,
Acid Bomb Glove, Concussion Gun, Shock Rocket, Laser
Tracer, Sniper Mine, or RYNO.
In other words, you can only use the Agents of Doom, Scorcher, Bee Mine Glove,
Suck Cannon, Mootator and Static Barrier to kill enemies - that's a good range
of weapons. The Armoogeddon (updraded Mootator) is really good here because it
has infinite ammo.
No More Varmints!: Get Over 1535 points in the Giant Clank challenge. (2000 in
Challenge Mode)
Much like the Terror of the Skies skill point, this is hard. Again, don't save
rockets for the boss - use them on big groups of small enemies.
/------------------------------------\
|3.8: Farming Cooperative, Dayni Moon|
\------------------------------------/
Ultimate Gladiator: Complete all Clank Arena challenges.
Self explanatory. See my guides for the Clank Challenges if you can't beat
some.
Wool Protest: Complete level 8 without killing any Angry Rams.
Remember, they're only angray rams at night, during the day they are sheep and
can be killed. Thanks to Chris Steinwinder.
ibrake4dragons: Pwning them with the Mootator/Armoogeddon does not count as
'killing' so you can still Mootate them and get the skill point, as well as
work on upgrading your Mootator if you haven't already at that time.
Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy: High-jump on a bouncy plant 10 times in a row.
You simply need to High Jump on the plant when you land on it after doing the
previous High Jump.
/-----------------\
|3.9: Inside Clank|
\-----------------/
Not the Shock of Me Now: Don't get hit at all while inside Clank's head.
This is a tough one, but is made easier by using the RYNO, and having the
Chameleon armour set - you can barely be seen by the enemy.
Using the Static Barrier/Repulser Field will make it easier to get the "Not The
Shock Of Me Now" skill point. The shield can take damage, and you can still
earn the skill point. As long as Ratchet does not lose any health, you can get
it. (Thanks to Negarro Uzumaki)
You can still get the Skill Point even if you take damage while navigating the
lock mechanism of the one locked door (thanks to Heather Watkins).
Ratchet... Just Ratchet: Beat the enemy segment using only the wrench.
ibrake4dragons: You may want to wait till your third play through to make this
much easier: the Stalker Armor set makes this point a breeze in getting, just
don't get hit a lot and you'll be fine. If you don't want to wait until then,
then may Thor have mercy on your wrench-loving soul.
The Fire-Bomb armor works well for the "Ratchet... Just Ratchet" skill point.
You can hit the Troopers while staying out of their attack range. (Thanks to
Negarro Uzumaki)
/-----------------------------\
|3.10: Clone Factory, Quadrona|
\-----------------------------/
Elite Annihilation: Defeat over 70 Elite clones during the Elite clone fight.
Again, easy with the RYNO, but another problem here is it's hard to stay alive
whilst heaps of crazy angry clones are chasing you. You'll need to have good
flipping skills to get this one.
Storm the Front: Complete the enemy portion of level 10 in less than 1:45.
Another skill point made simpler with the RYNO - just kill all the enemies
really quickly and it's done. The enemy portion is from the blue room where the
clones are fighting the Ratchet dummies to the room with the big red button
(all enemies must be killed in all 3 rooms).
[email protected] and Negarro Uzumaki both suggest that you kill all the
enemies in the passage, then go back to the start, then go through the passage
again, without the trouble of defeating enemies.
/------------\
|3.11: Cheats|
\------------/
This is a list of cheats that are unlock when you complete a certain amount of
Skill Points.
Big Headed Giant Clank 1 Skill Point
Self explanatory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Headed Clank 3 Skill Points
Self explanatory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Cowbell 9 Skill Points
Mootated enemies will now make a cowbell sound when killed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mirrored Levels 10 Skill Points
Levels are now vertically mirrored - if you were to look at the normal level in
a mirror, that's the effect this cheat has.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything has a nice glow to it - items glow heaps more than they should.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Self explanatory.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Climb the Tree House 25 Skill Points
Will take you to The Treehouse (the High Impact Games verison of the Insomniac
Museum).
/---------\
|4: Armour|
\---------/
Armour is what protects you from enemy attacks. The better your armour, the
less chances you have of getting creamed. Again, the Armour Sets section was
written by ibrake4dragons, and any inquiries you may have can be either given
to me so I can forward them to him, or you can contact him on the R&C: SM
message board.
I wrote the Armour Piece Locations myself, and if you want to contact me about
that, see the E-Mail section.
