Ratchet & Clank: Part 7: Invading the Blarg Station
6The next destination is the Blarg Tactical Station in Nebula G34. Ratchet mainly wanted to come here to find some new gadgets.
First, take the little shuttle into a Blarg Warship. Follow the doors you can open up until you reach the end... where there is a big red button.
That was a self-destruct switch! It also releases another Infobot you will automatically pick up once you get close back to the shuttle. By that point, you'll make it back to the main station in one piece while the warship blows up.
The Infobot shows an infestation of Amoeboids on Blackwater City in Planet Rilgar. Clank was worried about the people getting eaten there, but Ratchet was more focused on the city's Hoverboard races. What priorities...
----------
There's is a Tresspasser puzzle near another door, and this one has laser blockers that will make you think more of how you'll need to align the laser.
To speed things up again, just go to 6:48 to see what to do.
This will lead outdoors, but since Ratchet can't breathe in space, he'll send Clank out to investigate.
Clank is pretty small and weak on his own, but he can still try through his Heli-Glide and punches against small enemies.
You will find a group of Gadge-Bots that you can free from capsules. You can give commands, such as "Follow", "Wait", "Enter", and "Attack".
You'll mainly need to have them Attack bigger enemies, and then have them Enter into small huts to release force fields and doors for Clank to pass.
One force field will be guarding a Gadget call a Hydrodisplacer, you can use this to fill and drain certain pools, but you'll have to go to another planet to see what this looks like.
----------
The last path I can go through is the one main one for this area, full of platforming, aliens, and Blarg soldier for Ratchet to take on.
There's another Tresspasser puzzle along this path. Look at how the lasers are arranged at 13:41 to see how you can reach into its "treasure room".
At the near-end of this course is a giant Alien Queen. As you bring her down, she'll summon the medium and small versions of the aliens you've fought before.
HOWEVER! If you want to get the "Girl Trouble" Skill Point from this boss, you'll have to beat her and her children up with ONLY the Wrench. This took me a few times to do, and I decided to cut out most of my failed attempts to save time.
----------
Beyond that fight, you can help out an inventor- I mean Gadget Inventor, and then he'll sell you Grindboots for 2,000 Bolts.
The Grindboots automatically work on rails and you just... grind on them. You can still use your weapons and jump while grinding, which will be nice since some grindrails are going to have hazards on them.
