Raritanium Tournament

Raritanium Tournament

This tournament is unlocked once you complete Valkyrie Citadel, Planet Vapedia.

Fire Proof
5,000 Bolts, 1 Zoni

You'll be restricted to your Constructo Shotgun and your wrench as you prevent enemies from reaching the blue barrier. If 5 go through the barrier within 2 minutes, it's game over. Fortunately, this challenge is quite easy if you equip the Double Barrel and Lance Chamber Mods on the Constructo Shotgun. Once you've done that, just go up to the other end of the pathway and spawn camp the enemies. Simple!

Toxic Engagement
10,000 Bolts, 1 Holo-Plan

You'll be up against a War Grok, restricted to using your wrench, whilst losing health by the second. Sounds hard, right? It's not, really. A Nanotech crate re-spawns in the center of the arena approximately every 30 seconds, so if you see it there, break it open.

As for attacking the War Grok, your Comet Strike is your best friend. You do NOT want to go right up to it hitting it normally, as you'll be killed doing so for this long. Keep your distance and just keep throwing your wrench at him, dodging his attacks with the strategies mentioned in the walkthrough for your first encounter with the War Grok.

The Exterminator
15,000 Bolts, 1 Constructo Mod

In this challenge, you'll have only your wrench and an OmniSoaker full of nectar, as well as a hive of Teramites. You have to use the Teramites to kill the enemies. It's clever, but tricky at the same time. As soon as you start, throw some nectar on the ground so the Teramites don't maul you - they're on nobody's side but their own.

Once you see some Agorians come down, throw some nectar on to them to have the Teramites rush over and eat them alive. You have to throw the nectar on to the enemy, not on the ground near it, or the Teramites won't do any damage. Also, don't let the Teramites walk near you, as they'll damage you as they walk past.

The second wave will yield some Agorians (with and without shields), as well as some smaller enemies. First and foremost, throw some honey around so the Teramites don't get you, and then kill the smaller enemies with your wrench. Pull the shields off the Agorians and throw some honey on to them to kill them.

The third wave is by far the most difficult, as you'll get smaller enemies, as well as Agorians with shields, and to top it all off, 2 mega-Agorians with blades on either arm. These guys are priority, so throw some honey on to both of them and wait for them to die. Meanwhile, kill the smaller enemies with your wrench, pull the shields off the normal sized Agorians and then throw some honey on them to finish the challenge.

Battery Bots on the Battlefield
20,000 Bolts, Treasure Mapper

This challenge will see you fight against countless enemies, whilst trying to throw 8 seperate Battery Bots in to a plug each. This can be tricky, especially with all the enemies around you, but so long as you keep your focus on getting the Battery Bots in to the plugs you won't run out of time or die.

As soon as the first Battery Bot is dropped on to the arena, you'll have 20 seconds to get him in to a plug. For each Battery Bot you get in to a plug, you get an extra 20 seconds. Battery Bots will drop once the one on the arena has been put in a plug, and they'll keep being dropped until all 8 have been dropped on to the arena. Simply pick them up with your wrench and throw them in to the nearest plug, as per usual.

As for the enemies, you'll want to kill some of them, but not all of them. Your Negotiator, your Constructo Bomb and your Mag-Net Launcher are the best choices as far as weapons go. As previously stated, go after the Battery Bots and not the enemies, unless they are constantly attacking you (this may become an issue in later stages of the challenge).

Here's a good tip from DiabloNeonX:

"If you're having trouble during this challenge, use the Groovitron Glove, as even the Battery Bots will stop and begin to dance, making them easier to find and the enemies easier to avoid."

Overkill
25,000 Bolts, Chimp-O-Matic

This is it, the most difficult challenge in the entire game, the 20 round menace bound to test your skills in the arena... you'll want to get the RYNO V before hand, as it makes the challenge a cakewalk. Trust me, the time you invest in finding the Holo-Plans will be less than the time you invest trying the complete the challenge without the RYNO V. If you've completed the game or already have your trophies for completing the game on the different difficulty settings, feel free to change the difficulty to Casual just for this challenge.

The first 6 waves will consist of smaller enemies and droids, nothing you can't handle. From wave 7 onwards, Agorians will start spawning. This is where it starts to get tricky, but for now it's not too difficult. Things will actually get a bit difficult when you encounter the shielded Agorians who will throw bombs at you. These are very hard to see coming, let along dodge. If you see one of these guys, take their shield immediately, then kill them.

Wave 19 will be the War Grok. He's easy with the RYNO V, so just blast him with it. He'll throw some smaller enemies on to the field, but you can easily kill them with your wrench, let alone your RYNO V. Wave 20 will pit you against the Hydra Tank. Again, the RYNO V makes this terribly easy. The only attack you'll have to worry about is the shockwave emitted after the shield's activated. Once the Hydra Tank is down, you'll complete the challenge.
