Ratchet & Clank Going Commando: Part 28: Mining for Moonstones in Grelbin
0After Smolg, Damosel was the next planet listed to visit, but I decided to head to Greblin, instead.
There's a lab that Angela has here, but I can't really get through it yet until I complete the Hypnomatic. Go out into the snow instead.
----------
There's another facility on this planet, too, but it's been sealed off by a massive purple boulder. Ratchet & Clank see this for themselves when they run into - of all people - that same crazy old Mystic again.
In order to make the Mystic move the giant rock, you must bring him back 9 Moonstones from the tundra.
----------
I've read that this planet was quite untested in its difficulty. Your main enemies here are called the Y.E.T.I. Apparently a junior programmer tried to save time on coding them, but the end result had the snowbeasts attack faster and spawn in larger numbers than planned or intended.
You're gonna need your best weapons to deal with these creeps easily because they are TOUGH.
And then there are the Arctic Leviathans that the Y.E.T.I. were supposed to until down. Approach certain cracks in the ice and they sprout up to attack. Watch out for their massive Ice Beams and don't touch the water they came out from if you don't want a Lombaxicle!
----------
After getting the Moonstones, the Mystic finally moves that big rock out of the way. He also has a Hypnomatic piece that he'll give away from more Moonstones.
You're going to need to enter the place the Mystic opened up. It will eventually lead back to your ship, but along the way, you'll need to pull out the Glider and then the Infiltrator again.
Right before that Infiltrator spot, you will find one more Armor Vendor that contains the strongest Armor in the game: Carbonox! It shields against 90% of any damage, but it is extremely expensive and I'm not planning to buy it, as it completely covers Ratchet's face.
Finishing the Infiltrator spot will lead you back to your ship and also unlock new pathways that let you explore the rest of this planet's massive tundra. From there, you can get more Moonstones for the Mystic so that he can give Ratchet & Clank his Hypnomatic part. 2/3! One more to go!
----------
After getting that second Hypnomatic part, the Mystic offers to give you even more Bolts if you continue to bring him more Moonstones. On Planet Greblin, each remaining Moonstone is worth 3,000 Bolts. There should be exactly 54 Moonstones left after giving the Mystic 9 for the boulder and 16 for the Hypnomatic part.
In other words, by the end of this, you should be 162,000 richer! You also get a Skill Point called "Be a Moon Child" after bringing all of the Moonstones back to the Mystic.
But... again, those Y.E.T.I. are TOUGH. You're gonna be running through a lot of ammo to take them down, though at least you should get some good weapon upgrades out of this, too.
----------
When all has been said and done, NOW I finally go to Damosel!
