Massive Implants

Go to Black Water City, stand in front of the hover board girl, do side flips alternating sides each time. If you did it right her boobs grow alot. Then if you have beat the game go to movies and select welcome or the second one (don't remember the name) and her boobs are huge during the video too!


Gold Bolt on Pokitaru

Hey, I just found the Gold Bolt on Pokitaru. I'll tell you where it is!

You need the following items:

O2 Mask

Pilot's Helmet

Thruster-Pack

To get the pilot's helmet go to Planet Batalia and do the grindrail challenge, try and hit or jump over the mines in the way, jump while pressing left and right to move from grindrail to grindrail.

At the end a deserter will sell you an Infobot to planet Gaspar, buy it off him and go through Gaspar using the turrets to shoot down the metal doors.

O2 Mask:

Go back to Pokitaru and go to the garage at the end of the level, if you haven't already done so, use the Power Slam on the switch to open the garage door, fight with the fighter and once you've completed that challenge you'll get the O..

In Blackwater City, go to the lady who let's you race on a hoverboard. Then, when your in front of her, start do backflips, frontflips, or sideflips. If you did it right, her boobs should start growing. Hope you have fun with this cheat!


Many MANY bolts

First go to blackwater city or rilgar where the hoverboard race is. Then use the hologuise (if you have it yet) and use it when you get to the lady for the race. Then enter, you don't have the hoverboard equiped, so walk to the place of the track where there is a big like mountain of boxes in the air on a platform, stay below it. Then right when a little under still face it. Then use the taunter it gives you lots of bolts. Get something heavy and put it on the circle button. Make sure it still using taunter, then turn off tv and walk away for a few hours. Then come back and then you have enough bolts to get anything even the are.Y.N.O. Gun from that guy in downtown same world. There you go!


Gold Bolt

On the last level(Vedelin) the gold bolt behind the blue force field to get to it,you got to use the Taunter to bring the frog thing over.

They will step on the button and open it up, kill them and walk through the tunnel.


Get rich quick

I have the "get rich quick" cheats for all of the ratchet and clank games.

Fly to quartu (not sure of spelling) go to the giant clank thing, go face the robo-mech dudes (they can be repeated any time) once you beat them, simply walk off the ledge closest to you. You get 1800 bolts each time. Within as few hours, you should be able to buy the RYNO


Secret Gold Weapons Room

Fly your ship to the Gremlik Base. Go to where you battled Captin Quark and you will see a tower.

Go to the entrence of it and wall jump up untill you get to a lift.

Get on the lift and it will take you to the top. There will be a gold weapons room.

*NOTE*You can go here before you do Drek for the first time and there will only be some gold weapons there(AND YOU CAN STILL BUY THEM).


Want to get Gold Bolts? Heres how:

Planet Novalis-Tobruk Crater:

1) In the caves near the starting point,look carefully at the bottom of the three terraced pools.There's a false stone wall here that you can destroy with your bomb glove.Behind it is a Gold Bolt!

2) In the first room of the waterworks arear,use the jump maneuver to reach the top of this hidden ledge.

3) If you have the Hydro-Pack,you can swim up the river and into the large pipe. At the source of the river is a secret cave where you'll find another Gold Bolt.

If you need more help where to get gold bolts contact me on AIM:dArKrCdRaG0n


Glitch that make you invincible when big clank

Go to were you fight the robots when you are big clank in the arena. Before you enter you need to go to the far side next to the arena and jump off. This might sound crazy but it works. Then when you revive again when your enter you will be invincible and kill the robots no problem. And if it didn't work you did it wrong.


Unlimited bolts!!!

Ok if you're at the hover board thing in black water city you need to use the hologuise when your on the track. This will take you off your board, then take out your taunter and break all of the boxes. Then once you get to the place with the jump and a ton of boxes on a ledge. Go directly under it and use the taunter. Now hold circle until you don't want anymore money or you can keep holding circle until you get enough money for the ryno. HAVE FUN, YOU CHEATERS!!!


Unlimited Bolts On Metropolis

Well go to motropolis and cross the bridge at the beginning of the level where the vendor is jump off the edge and drop into an area where you will find a gold bolt so you will see cars flying above your head now hold th R1 button and aim at the vehicles press square and hit them and they release bolts ans since they never stop comming so enjoy your Unlimited Bolts.

This isn't really a cheat and is at the same time.



For a gold bolt on Orxon (pay attention this demands skill), if you have the Map-o-Matic it'll be way easier.



Go to the clearing where the pterodactyls keep chucking bombs on the ground.



There will be an acid pool with a sort of 'tongue' over it. Get a fair distance away from it (also in a spot safe from bombs or this won't work) and equip your Visibomb gun.



Steer the Visibombs up over the tongue and into the tunnel. Steer it till you reach a wall. Run into the wall with the bomb.



Keep on sending Visibombs down the tunnel, blowing up walls and stuff until you've deblocked the whole tunnel.




Chicken Glitch

You need the Golden Morph-a-Ray for this. Ok when You are in Metropolis Go on that train. The turn a Blarg person into a (Big) chicken. Hopefully it should jump off when it does,get off the train and you should see the chicken in the air!!

p.s. it would help to see the chicken if you morphed the guy closest to the front of the train

p.s.s supercheats rocks!

More glitch than cheat

You need invincibility equipped to do this. Okay, on quartu swim through the pool of death. At the end there is some nanotech boxes. Break one open and if you have invincibility from that [you'll be glowing] jump in the pool of electricity. IT WON'T KILL YOU the annoying this is that after that you will hear yourself being electricuted but you won't be hurt. Its weird because everything is faded to near whiteness.

Gold Bolts

I've got two gold bolts one in Planet Orxon and one in Planet Hoven.

In Planet Orxon explore the area where Clank could explore, as Ratchet, and halfway through it there should be a little alcove that when Clank explored it there was a clawed monster in it across from that there is another alcove, wall jump up it and there you go the second golden bolt.

The one in Planet Hoven is a bit more complicated.

Land your ship go right and go to the place behind the trees where there is loads of them anklebiters at the side of them is a moving platform moving up and down, if you time it just right you can wall jump between the moving platform and the wall next to it to get your gold bolt.

PS. You can also grab yourself a skill point by killing the ank..


Gold bolts

Outpostx11 (Aridia)

Where you find the tresspasser you can drop down and there is one there. To get back up use the swing shot target above where tresspasser was.

Logging Site (eudora)

Where the gadatron help desk is just go towards the four robots on the lowest platform but go slowly because you do not need to go far once you have dropped down one step in that direction it is above on a platform


Heavy Traffic

If you're having problems getting the Skill Point "Heavy Traffic" use the Pyrocitor (or Gold if you have the gold one), sometimes it does not work but it's only failed me once.

Go ahead, try it!


Tip for 1st game for the 2nd

Save the memory from the first Ratchet and clank game for the second one because in the second one when you find the gadgetron station(the new weapon company is Megacorp) the weapons will be free for the gadgetron weapons


How to get a bunch of bolts

Put on your hologuise and enter a hoverboard race in blackwater city and then you will start the race without a hoverboard so you can go to the platform with a bunch of crates and use your taunter to break all the crates

Note: you have to be directly under the platform for it to work


Golden bolt

Go behind your ship and you will find a door way, you can open the door way by twisting the screw with your rench. When the door is open you will find bots, kill all the bots then go into the deepest pool and you will find a hiden under water pasage way, swim through the pasage way and you will find a bunch of pools at all difrent levels. Go all the way to the botom even past the last pool then take your bomb glove and to your left aim at the wall and through a bomb. Then you will find a pasage with the golden bolt.


Platimum Infininte Bolts

On Planet Rilgar don't go up to the lady in hologise go to the yellow wall on entrance to the race. Don't take the taxi take the long way for more bolts. You need the decoy glove. Go into the little corner and face the ladys way. Throw a decoy glove onto the ground in front of you. Then you should be in. Follow the wall and then the ledge. Then glide onto a building which should become visible. Then glide down to the track. Go to the big jump and go under where all the boxes are. Get out your Taunter and then hold something on the o button. And there you go.


Crazy Lady

If you beat the blackwater city race, do a bunch of backflips and her boobs will get bigger and bigger.


Chichen ammo

First you need the morph o ray and the suck cannon.

What you do is turn enermys into chickens then suck the up in the suck cannon.

Then fire them out and the chickens bounce if you aim them at the ground

They also give a small amount of bolts when you suck the up as well as morphing them


How to get easy money so you can save up for the..

How to get easy money so you can save up for the R.Y.N.O.



All you need to do is keep on going into the hoverboard races and go through as many normal bolt crates as possible. It doesn't matter if you loose the race, because you will be garanteed that you will come out with more bolts than you came in with.



p.s : usually u get more than 1000 bolts [p.s. is form ethan]


Happy Gaming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Giant Clank Quartu Challenge Help

If you're really stuck on that challenge where you have to defeat the Mechs, if they come too close for your comfort, just punch them.

It is a lot easier to punch them than to keep firing missiles and eventually get hurt.

Sometimes they will come close, just punch them three times (it might be four, five or whatever) and they should be down with ease!


Good weapon combos

1.First, set out a decoy. Then use the Gold Morph-o-ray.

2.If you use the taunter against enemies with guns they won't shoot you but they will run towards you.

3.Just pull out the R.Y.N.O.!!!


Magician skill point

You have to get 4500 or higher trick score in the hoverboard race.


How to get a bunch of bolts

Put on your hologuise and enter a hoverboard race in blackwater city and then you will start the race without a hoverboard so you can go to the platform with a bunch of crates and use your taunter to break all the crates

Note: you have to be directly under the platform for it to work


Glitch on Gemlik Moonbase

Ok. If you go to one of those elevators, Ratchet and clank will go a abit funny - coloured.You may be able to get it again if you stand near one of those big doors that ships are guarding on the outside

MetalMadness6000

Note:This isn't really a cheat and it might only work a few times


Mirrored levels

Flip Left,and then Flip Left,and then Flip Left,then Flip Left,then 3-Hit Wrench Combo, then Hyper Strike,then Double Flip Right,then Flip Right,then Flip Right,then Double Jump,and then Full Second Crouch

If you have box breaker go to megacorp games then use box breaker on both sets of lights then when all the lights are smashed run off the ledge you don't lose nanotech or bolts. When you'v done that you can do box breaker over again!
